Milk and Honey, huh.
Note: today’s the Eurovision songfestival finals, as I promptly announced in my Elsewhere links the other day (Dutch are out, horrors!). Apparently you can follow it online too, but prepare for clogged up Ethernet lines when millions of Europeans and … Continue reading

Cry Freedom
Attenborough’s ‘Cry Freedom‘ made a lasting impression on me: the movie tells the (true) story of Stephen Biko, a black politician who was brutally murdered by South African security police in the mid Seventies. Despite photographic proof showing that Biko … Continue reading

Dogs and Video Games.
With he dust settling at Parliament Hill, that is after the crucial voting yesterday, there were plenty of interviews with politicians, analysts, experts and others today. Before I go over to today’s stuff, there was one weird moment during last … Continue reading

Das Keyboard
Via Waxy, I found this magnificent keyboard: Das Keyboard. It’s a keyboard, yes, without lettering! Brilliant. Since there is no key to look at when typing, your brain will quickly adapt and memorize the key positions and you will find … Continue reading

Smile!
I saw that the Liberals survived a vote of confidence: I decided to follow it live on television. Interesting to watch: I always expected a majority to be at least 60% of the votes. In the Canadian House of Commons, … Continue reading

If David Lynch…
If David Lynch had directed ‘Return of The Jedi’, would we have seen a different ‘Star Wars’? I wasn’t aware of this fact nugget: that indeed he was asked by Lucas to direct ‘Return of the Jedi’. Lynch’s comment on … Continue reading

Unsobered
The day before yesterday, my wife happened to receive hundreds of e-mails: yes, she was also one of the millions targeted by Sober.Q virus/spam. The mails received are pretty harmless: all of them link to several German pages expressing the … Continue reading

Scary voices are in the box
Something I noticed the other day: when you leave the XBox running with no game in it, after a couple minutes it starts to talk in some kind of language. Others suggest it’s a demonic language. Really: I’m not making … Continue reading

Huffington Post
I‘ve been reading and watching the Huffington Post the last couple of days, and while it hasn’t had good reviews (Technorati), it certainly has interesting posts and articles. And before people call her full of crap, think of this article … Continue reading

The Taping
Tomorrow, Microsoft is going to unveil its next XBOX platform, supposedly called XBox 360. Gates has mentioned this particular event a couple of times too, convinced as his of the impact it will have on our lives™. Uh. Apparently, the … Continue reading

The problem with movies
The Spiegel illustrates the problem with disaster movies made in Hollywood. In an interview with Spielberg and Cruise about their upcoming ‘War Of The Worlds’ movie, the following fragment sticks out: Spielberg: We wanted to make a film in which … Continue reading

Truth, Justice and whichever Way you want it
Via Accordeon Guy, a link to the Indian Superman, apparently not sanctioned by the official copyright and trademark holders. The Indian movie doesn’t particularly impress or something, nor do I think it’s particularly funny. Most likely, the (typical) Indian jokes … Continue reading
