David Sedaris Live!

The whole reason for us to be in London this weekend is that David Sedaris was reading some of his new stories. It was wickedly funny! The good news is that he and Hugh are moving to England - so probably we will see him perform much often here.

The oldest trick in the world - with the new BMW S1000RR



Very nice trick - I still must convince Eddie that I can repeat it at home with our finest china...

The Cove - An Oscar for the documentary - a bloody story in real.

Every year on the first of September, at a cove in a small town called Taiji on the southeast coast of Japan's Honshu Island, a new fishing season begins: the dolphin season.
Twenty-six fishermen in 13 boats corral a few dozen dolphins into the small cove, where they kill the animals by stabbing them repeatedly with long harpoons and knives. The 50-square-foot inlet turns crimson, as if filled only with blood.

In the course of a six-month season, fishermen kill roughly 2,000 dolphins and sell the meat to local supermarkets for about U.S. $500 a dolphin. The fishermen supplement their income by taking about a hundred dolphins alive and selling them for tens of thousands of dollars each to aquariums.

The Sad, sad senator Roy Ashburn...

Anti-gay GOP California state Sen. Roy Ashburn was arrested for DUI yesterday after leaving Faces, a popular Sacramento gay bar, with an unidentified male passenger.  He is on of the many conservatives who came out the last couple of years.
He had to admit that he is gay during a live radio interview with Inga bark from Kern talk radio. "Do you want me to ask the question or are you tell us?" She asks Roy at 7 minutes into the interview. "Well..uhm.. I am gay..." he says :-)
Welcome to the gang Roy!

Scott Kelby in the Netherlands

Scott Kelby the top man from the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, the NAPP podcasts and writer of the most successful photoshop books was in Utrecht this week for the Professional Imaging 2010 expo. He's really a great gay and funny too. "The Dutch are SO into this stuff, and I can’t tell you how many people I met that watch every episode of Photoshop User TV, or D-Town TV, or have my books, or are Kelby Training Online subscribers—it was just amazing (I’m still stunned be recognized this far from home)."

And you thought "I Robot" was just a movie...


Kojiro is an advanced musculoskeletal humanoid robot under development at the University of Tokyo's JSK Robotics Laboratory. The Japanese are really serious about robots - this is an other proof of that.

New shoes

 
I couldn't resist these Puma Desmo's - in white they are something else then all the black dull motor boots out there.

Welcome SNAKE!

I had to wait a couple of weeks - but it was very worthwhile: My new bike has arrived!
The brand new Kawasaki Z1000. I have chosen the maroon brown with snake skin buddy - hence the name of my bike "SNAKE". And make that a viper or other ultra agile and fast snake - because that's what this bike is all about - wow :-)

The day I rediscovered... Nana Mouskouri!

I stumble upon this all-star session--including producer Quincy Jones, conductor Torrie Zito, and sound engineer Phil Ramone--Nana Mouskouri's 1962 US debut album: Nana in New York.
In phrasing and intonation, Mouskouri shows the influence of her jazz models Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday, yet her Greek accent, as well as her classical and opera vocal training, make for an utterly distinctive approach. It is really a gem!
(according to amazon Nana is "is the biggest-selling female artist of all time (...)" Never would suspect that would you?)

Same-Sex Marriage Becomes Legal in Washington

The day that even in the capital of the USA it is legal for gay's to marry we can hail this day as a milestone for equal rights and a symbolic victory.as same-sex marriage became legal in the nation’s capital.
Washington is now the sixth place in the nation where same-sex marriages can take
place. Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont also issue
marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Court officials explained that the Marriage Bureau changed its license applications in
preparation for the new licenses. They now ask for the name of each “spouse” rather than
the “bride” and “groom.” Officials who perform the weddings read: “I now pronounce
you legally married” instead of “I now pronounce you man and wife.”

So let's hope that Capitol hill takes notice.

Open your "Eyes wide open" and what do you see?

This new Israeli movie "Eyes Wide Open" is about a gay romantic affair in the ultra orthodox jewish community. I wonder when I will be able to see it in Amsterdam.

Spionbilder från bilar - vanligtvis i Sverige

Sverige är landet där bilarna testas. Den tomhet och kallt klimat är perfekta förhållanden. exempel det här  spionfotografen hittade Audi A7 när den vintertestades i Norrland.

Holland is empty

At 404 inhabitants per square kilometer, the Netherlands is one of the most densely populated nations in the world. The country’s population density, over 23 times the global average, is a factor in the national discussion on immigration, arming proponents of stricter rules with the slogan “Nederland is vol” (“The Netherlands is full”). While that sounds conversation-stoppingly irrefutable, the premise of that particular political slogan is easily proved wrong – with these maps made by Rem Koolhaasmad. The top map shows how full the Netherlands would be if its 15 million-strong population would be concentrated in the density of Los Angeles. Repeating that experiment with the population density of  LA, the second map shows how all of the Netherlands’ inhabitants would live cheek-by-jowl in an area no larger than 600 km2, which would occupy no more than 1.44% of the total territory of the Netherlands – concentrated in the south of the country’s Limburg panhandle. The third map unwraps that same area to a strip along the 345 km-long (214 mile) Belgian-Dutch border, which would be no wider than 1.75 km (1.08 mile)...
I guess the Netherlands is really empty!

The Grand Prize winner Dennis Frates is a good example that photo's aren't really photo's anymore but photoshop compositions :-)

The day I removed google buzz

I don't know about you: but I don't like buzz in my gmail setup. Most of my friends are not using buzz - and if so it is a twitterfeed - so it doesn't add anything. So I removed buzz. What's next? Wave?

Trying my new bike: The Kawasaki Z1000

I finally had a chance to try out my new bike yesterday on the motorbeurs. I bought it straight from a picture (O, yes and from this video) - but hadn't had a chance to actually sit on it. Now I have - and I cannot wait to ride it.
