Skiing in Italy

Last week we’ve been skiing in northern Italy for a few days. It’s been the third time that we’ve gone to Santa Christina in Val Gardena and I guess this one is a keeper. It’s a relatively small village, no high rises and it’s a village where still a lot of farmers live. That ensures [...]

Yesterdays newspaper

Yesterday in the newspaper I receive there was an entertaining story on the back of the paper. What made this story interesting to me was the attitude a tram driver in Amsterdam had. His name is Harry Smit and he drives on line 9. I hardly take the tram when I’m in Amsterdam but he [...]

New RSS feed added

As you may notice I’ve added an additional RSS feed from last.fm. So you will be able to see what music I’ve been listening to when working behind my PC. As you may notice, my taste is quite diverse and ranges from Opera towards the lighter genres like Pink, Pearl Jam etc.
For those interested, last [...]

Being European is after all not so bad

Lastly I’ve been somewhat disappointed because a lot of goodies where coming somewhat belated towards the mainland. Especially the Playstation III and the Zune will not be available overhere before X-mas. And if i can believe the media we might be lucky if we get the Zune by next year X-mas.
