Johannas' Empty Nest
My friend Johanna had a nice and warm interview in The Margriet of this week about her childeren leaving her house and how that made her feel. The article had a great photo of her as well.
Hancock
I really like the trailer of Hancock - the new movie with Will Smith. I hope that it meet my (high) expectations... (nice tight suit by the way)
SEX KPN?
Planet Internet is changing its name to KPN (the Dutch Telecom Company) I was wondering what they would do with their SEX planet website. Would it be named SEX KPN? But no... SEX planet will stay SEX planet... :-)
Wolfgang Tillmans
An interesting exhibition in The Stedelijk Museum of photographs of Wolfgang Tillmans.
Moved
We moved with Zomoto from our old office at The Herengracht in the Centre of Amsterdam to the North part of Town. It is quite a different surrounding and building. From acient antique to swanky high tech. Just the next step we needed.

VOC ship in Lelystad
It wasn't the best of weather when I made a little trip to Lelystad today... The ship more looked like one from Pirates of the Caribbean...
Mbeki is Guilty of murder.
Guilty of denying the AIDS disaster in South Africa - killing millions. Guilty of protecting the emigrants in South Africa - endangering millions and guilty of letting Mugabe stay in Zimbawbe - throwing a country to poverty and ruins.
Goodbye Frank
At the reception to say goodbye to my dearest friend Frank van der Heijden from ABN AMRO in Nieuwegein they used a color coded card system to process all the thousands of people they expected who wanted to speak to Frank. I didn't had much time and fixed all the colors so I could speak to Frank at once and be off to Amsterdam right away (on my new bike of course)
Heinz commercial
The aim of the commercial is to insinuate that the product "tastes as if you have your own New York deli man in your kitchen." But after 200 people complained Heinz pulled the commercial of the air. Guess no more Heinz ketchup - I will use an other brand from now on.
Yeah!
I drove past Honda-Amsterdam this morning and couldn't help noticing that something shiny white was standing on the pavement. It turned out my new bike! And I can pick it up tomorrow! :-))))
Prius: Total Loss?
My Prius could be a total loss because of heavy hail fall yesterday. The roof, engine lid and sides of the car are completely ruined. Luckily the Porsche was safely inside the garage...

Atlantikwall
While driving my motorbike today I passed the Bunkers of the great Atlantikwall build during WWII near Haarlem on the west coast of Holland. After 60 years not much has changed with these bunkers - they are way to strong to be removed...
A boat trip to Amsterdam
We picked up the new boat from No&Go at Aalsmeer and tranfered it to his spot at The Herengracht. It was a much longer journey then expected (apr. 3 hours) but it was really fun. Noelle turned out to be a born quartermaster. :-)
Something goes terribly wrong...
I am not sure what happened, but while I ordered my bike months ago - all the guys on my honda motor forum got their bike but I didn't receive a single phone call from my dealer (Honda-Amsterdam). So everyone is showing of their bikes standing there in their shacks and I feel like a loser ;-)
Guess I have to visit the dealer as soon as they open this week.
Invade Zimbabwe Now!
It has taken to long already: the world has been silent and did nothing while the people of Zimbabwe suffered and were beaten up and killed. Why doesn't the UN intervene? It is clear that the African countries are not doing anything and just let Mugabe to trigger a civil war. That won't help the neighboring countries where already millions has fled to (with devasting consequences for South Africa e.g.). Clearly Tsvangirai is the rightfull president.
