Dinner with Flynn McGarry (13)

In this week New Yorker a nice piece about Flynn McGarry, age 13, and his passion about food.  He is already an accomplished chef who apprentices at two restaurants, caters parties, and hosts a monthly pop-up restaurant Eureka,  that is located in his family’s California home, features tasting dinners.  This means that each course is small (about one or two bites), and Flynn creates between ten and seventeen courses for the meal. Wow I would love to have dinner at Flynn one day :-)

The day I had to crawl

I probably did the pull over last week with a little bit to heavy dumbbell - anyway I hurt my back and couldn't hardly walk/sit or do anything actually... I hope that during the coming week things get better :-(

Raining

When I rode home on my bike today - it was pooring. I felt like a dog afterwards...

I lost my sun glasses in Chicago - why not buy a RayBan?

Since the new "Never Hide" advertising campaign of RayBan I almost cannot ignore them when looking for new sun glasses...

Wes the biker

Today after work Wes decided to bike back to home (that took him about 2 hours) - funny that almost all of us @auto.nl like other transportation methods more then just cars :-)

007 time again?

After I seen all the films in the cinema, purchased the VHS and the DVD's after that I am now thinking of buying the complete blue ray set (it will only be released in October this year) It always amazes me how much fun the bond movies are. I saw the man with the golden gun on the plane this March - and I enjoyed it very much. So maybe I will just start watching my (old) DVD box. Penguin issued a new box with 007 a while ago with fantastic art work by Michael Gillette - It is new, but at the same time very iconic from the 60's. You can buy the book set here and the original art work here.

The amazing Black Magic Cinema Camera



This new video camera from Black Magic really looks cool and seems like the ultimate pro-am camcorder. ($3.000)

Time together with Michael Franks

Although already released in 2011 - I just discovered this "new" Michael Franks album. I don't know why I missed it, but I am very happy that I can now listen to it (and listen to is and listen to it again). It's your classic Michael Franks album, nice sweet songs, beautifully produced and it simple makes you relaxed and happy.

Schmallenberg and the Schutte family

Our hotel in Schmallenberg, Schutte is a hotel since 1460 - and now after 18 generations still owned and operated by the same family. It consists of a complex of building and has all the luxury you can wish for for a relaxing long weekend. We drove the original motor trip by car and promised ourselves to come back by motor soon.

No adventures this weekend

We were planning to to on a motorbike trip to Sauerland this Easter, but just on the German border Eddies' battery stopped working - we had to return all the way home, pick up the car and drive to Sauerland in stead. (Which was a sort of blessing in disguise because the weather there was way to cold (snow!) for a pleasant motor ride.

The day my Mac Pro became silent (again)

Latetly one of all(5!) of the internal fans in my Mac Pro were a lot noisier then they used to be. What happened? I was checking fan control programs even considering buying a new (solid state) Mac Pro till I came across an article that recommend to vacuum clean the inside of the mac pro. The dust that collects on the boards and other parts makes cooling more harder and thus the fans have to rotate faster. (normal speed around 600 RPM - now more then double).
After a simple dust and vacuuming job everything is back to normal again and I even have to check now and then if my Mac Pro is on or not :-)
How simple can silence be?

My favorite porsche 911

Sadly Ferdinand Porsche died - luckily his most famous design lives on: the 911. I have owned 3 types of (modern) 911, but I think that when I return to the 911, I will pick one from the early 70's - they are the most iconic. And if you add a nice color like orange or yellow and maybe even a Targa roof I am sold.

Marigold now also has hotels (in India)

What if you put Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Judy Dench, Tom Wilkinson, Penelope Wilton and Dev Patel in one movie? You cannot go wrong! And you are right: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a gem of a film. Based on a story by Deborah Moggach (funny see Penelope reading a copy of her other great novel “Tulip Fever” in the hotel). I am not sure if I would like to retire in Jaipur, India. But on film in vibrant colors without the smells and the sounds it looks awesome... Maggie is playing her Downton Abbey role in India, so is a great laugh! ("I do not eat food I cannot pronounce...")
