Found via nu.nl (for some kind of reason I always end up there since other more responsible Dutch sources use the subscription model), uh, where was I? Yes, apparently during 1938 World Championship Football, there were two Dutch teams playing: … Continue reading

Mindless
One of the reasons not to use FlickR is the connection it has with a rather rude Dutch cursing word. That’s a joke. Really. Right. Mindlessly browsing through the collection of public photos, I ended up over at and around … Continue reading

Mugabe and that.
Over at Alan’s, somebody likens the publication ban of 3 testimonies in the Gomery inquiry to Mugabe’s (fraudulent) victory in Zimbabwe. Mugabe? Canada? Wasn’t Mugabe slapped by Amnesty International because of human rights violations? You know, killing political opponents by … Continue reading

A note of nothingness
Hi. You have heard from me because I maintain this weblog. I have something I need to share with you: I didn’t do it. Better yet, I wasn’t informed about this. Mucho better, you’ll find out that I’m not even … Continue reading

I use MSN Messenger for work-only purposes. I don’t chat with others, except for when I need to. I think something terrible has happened over at MSN. Weird errors and that. Has the world come to a standstill yet? Is … Continue reading

Collectible video clips
Over at Rhino’s, there’s a bunch of older videoclips, people from my generation were thrown at during the Eighties and (early) Nineties. There’s Billy Bragg (with Kirsty MacColl) singing ‘Sexuality’ (I liked ‘Accident waiting to happen’ better). There’s Ben E. … Continue reading

There’s much abuzz about Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Since U been gone’ song. Apparently it makes tops over at iTunes (goes to XML link). For Europeans abroad, ms. Clarkson was one of the winners of American Idol, you know the show with … Continue reading
