The Boralis shoot

Marijn and I were in a new photoshoot for our Boralis website at the "magere brug" in Amsterdam by Reinier Gerritsen. Cannot wait to see the end result.

My early days as an entrepreneur

Last Friday I told the participants at Rockstart about my early steps as entrepreneur - I was finished in a couple of minutes ;-) The guys don't look very interested on this picture do they? Well I don't blame them.

The day I started my own 3G provider with Vodafone Signal Plus


Now that I am (after three months of waiting...) with Vodafone I can make use of their Signal Plus device. I will let you know what the difference in speed and connectivity actually is later on.

Bent2013 - impressive play back on stage

Today I saw Kevin Hassing and Michiel Bakker in Bent, the impressive play about the persecution of homosexuals during the Holocaust of Martin Sherman (written in 1979)in direction of Gerardjan Rijnders. A very oppressive atmosphere, lots of frighting silent moments and very, very moving. Excellent performance so make sure you see it if you have the chance.

The Orphan Master's Son

My latest book to read is "The Orphan Master's Son" by Adam Johnson, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2013 earlier this year. The story is about a young man in North Korea who rises to become a threat to the dictator Kim Jong-il, and then tries to get his wife and step children out of the country. Sounds very intriguing. But first I have to finish my last Viveca Sten mystery set on the opposite of North Korea: Sandhamn, Sweden.

Hope Quartet is coming soon to Dutch Cinemas

Maggie Smith, Billy Connolly, Pauline Collins, direction by Dustin Hoffman: What can go wrong? I cannot wait to see this movie. The trailer looks promising. Is it Marigold hotel goes classic (and Britain)?

Last riding day

And time flies when you're having fun - we returned to Amsterdam. (How do you like my new Alpine Durban outfit by the way?)

Through the forrests of Siegerland


Off Road riding

Fallen tree blocks the road - we went around it...

Dillenburg - the birthplace of Willem Nassau (of Orange)

We had a great tour in Siegerland - the sun did not show, but the temperature was fine and we had no rain. The area is full of history and some nice landscapes. I liked Sauerland better tough - little less industry and traffic, so maybe next year back a little bit up north?

Siegerland

We are on our way to Schmallenberg and hotel Schutte (where we stayed last year) to go on a tour in Siegenland and to flee from the chaos which will happen in Amsterdam during the crowning of Willem Alexander tomorrow.

Reason 7: the best just got even better.

I have been a big fan of Reason right from the start. The propellerhead guys started it all with Rebirth, which was cool but rather limited - but with Reason things got serious and now with version 7,  Reason is actually professional stuff. When I think of all the hours I played with this wonderful toy and the joy it gives me, I must admit there is probably no better (indoor) toy then this. (Outdoor is a Z1000 of course)

Safety first: VRO on Lelystad circuit


Together with Roland I did a VRO (enhanced riding course) on my BMW motorbike. It was fun and usefull to test all kinds of safety hazard situations, like emergency braking, riding without hands or riding over "dead" animals...

Slowly, Amsterdam turns orange in anticipation of April 30th

Paris: the week after

Amazingly it has only been 1 week when we had a super duper time in Paris with Karen & Tom. It seems ages because we had so much fun and so many things to do, see and shop for.

Maybe I get lucky...

I really like the new Daft Punk "Get Lucky". It is a sweet mix of Disco, Funky grooves. Maybe I make an own version of it when Reason 7 is out.

I would wear Tony's glasses

I don't like the way the current Google glasses look like - although they seem to work fine. My guess is that combined with a Neurosky sort of devise one would get the sort of stuff Tony Stark is using in the latest  episode of Iron Man (III). His glasses are something I can imagine using :-)

Readly - Jag kan inte leva utan längre

Eftersom jag prenumererade på Readly jag läsa Svenska tidningar hela tiden. OK - några titel är inte för mig (Gravid?, Hästfood? eller Båtagare?) men det finns mycket intressanta tidningar  som är intressant att läsa och det är något annat som mina deckare. Jag är nöjd över hur många nya tillkommer - det är fast varje dag en ny tidning :-)
