Amat victoria curam!

We went to Rotterdam by bike. See the dark sky? On our way back we got surprised with hail and the road became ice. I tried to stop the bike - but slipped and came down on highway A4 :-( Some parts of my bike are bend, the handlebar is out of balance. I am all right though :-)) Luckily no car was driving behind or beside me.

Luckily at Art Rotterdam there were some nice photographs as well - like these from Kjetil Kausland about cage fighting.

At Art Rotterdam I found these art pieces: a..huh.. broom and ...bike?!

Eightmaps takes the names and ZIP codes of people who donated to the proposition 8 measure — information that California collects and makes public
under state campaign finance disclosure laws — and overlays the data on
a Google map. Visitors can see markers indicating a contributor’s name, approximate
location, amount donated and, if the donor listed it, employer. That is
often enough information for interested parties to find the rest — like
an e-mail or home address... which they do and are noe using to send some nasty stuff to people who supported 8 :-)

I really like Dawn French. Her role in the Vicar of Dibley is one of the best comic performances ever. So I enjoy this audiobook - which is hilarious also. I bought it as a audio CD - but converted it into an audiobook (for the iphone with audiobook builder).

Andre of Bruggeman motor Bikes send me this picture of the exchange of my Tenere.

It's something I always wanted - but never had: A Märklin model train. I guess I will never have it because it has filed for insolvency
after the failure of long-running restructuring efforts.A pity after more then 150th years. Banks were
unwilling to extend further credit, Märklin said.

Have a look at this video and you never want to do ANYTHING with the rabobank anymore :-)

Microsoft can't stand it of others have more success then they have - no matter what sector. So the come up with ludicrous idea's like the Xbox, Zune and now Songsmith. Like GuitarHero, Rock Band and Garage Band it is supposed to make anyone a musician... The original promo is so bad - it starts to get funny. As are the bunch of parodies of classic songs with songsmith on youtube. I couldn't resist and made this version of Slim Shady of Eminem...

I am always amazed when newspaper people are still clinging to the idea that nothing will change and that readers will want to read news in a paper news format with journalists eternally. Almost 30 years ago everybody knew something would change... Marque (home computer owner)

Apples' new iLife 09 and iWork 09 are really awesome!. I really like the new iMovie features, Garageband tuturials, Remote Keynote with the iPhone and Places and Faces in iPhoto. It makes computers a whole lot more fun :-))

Like every "family" in Holland Zomoto is collecting the stickers of the players of the soccer league. We already have a pretty good collection...

It took a couple of days before I knew what name to give to my new bike: But now I know it should be Black Camel.
Black because it is...huh... black! and camel because it can go miles and miles before it needs refueling and it can ride everywhere you want it to. :-)
