250 km...
I got this throphy award from Nike Plus after running more then 250 km on my new shoes. Sweet!
ATM on fire
An attack on the ATM across the street kept me awake last night. Somebody tried to burn the machine - probably out of pure frustration.
Do ask - Do Tell
Congress should repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" law because the
presence of gays in the military is unlikely to undermine the ability
to fight and win, according to a new study released by a
California-based research center.
I know that all along... ;-)

Vincent Zedelius
At a benefit auction for young in prison (a actiongroup which supports childeren in prison) I bought this great photograph by Vincent Zedelius - a young Dutch Photographer.
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)
