I hate my alarm clocks. Why hasn't anybody started designing the really good alarm clock befitting the 21st century?

We went to Rockin' Park in Nijmegen! Good festival, good bands.

Us Dutch people have always been know for our tolerance. This is a misconception. In the name of anybody who feels the pain about this and wishes things were different: my apologies.

Because I have no idea. Finally done, inspiration gone :-)

De Quechua 2 Seconds Tent does exactly what they promise it will: fold out a nice 2-person tent within 2 seconds.

UPDATE: June 14 done migrating! New content from my brains coming soon! I know I know it's been a while. And it's not as if I had nothing to write about mind you...

Today we went to the Peter And Paul Fortress. This was the first ground to be built upon when St.Petersburg was founded in 1703. The cathedral, with it's characteristic high peak and Belgian carillion houses the graves of all (but two obscure) czars

We went to Peterhof today. Peterhof is the czar own personal residence outside St. Petersburg

So far we've visited the Kazanskiy Sobor (Kazan Cathedral) which is nice. It is still functioning as a church today, where many cathedrals are museums nowadays. This means that the church is very solemn. The problem I personally have with it is that

Nifty! We've been extremely lucky with our appartment. It's only a 20 min. walk to Nevsky Prospekt (the main street of St. P'burg), and a 10 min. walk to the metro station. There a 2 Produkti nearby (small 24-hour supermarkets) and a market a f

Recently Google acquired Picasa, some startup photomanagement software producers. As it turns out, they have been cooperating for quite a while on the Blogger service, and with their application Hello it's possible to directly upload pictures onto Bl

The vast majority of components has been ordered. I received an email today confirming receipt of payment for my laptop, and it should be shipping from Japan by

I found out about an effective way to combat the three signs of ageing.

I've already thought of a name for my laptop. My Sharp Mebius Muramasa will be named Masamune. Some reviews spoke of this Muramasa as being a man who made swords so sharp, you could stick a sword in the river and it would cleave passing leaves.I've b

Last month I wrote about Uh-Oh Time For Bush, but right now it's Auch Time For Bush. Last week the US Government gave up on trying to persuade the UN Security Council to keep US soldiers immune to the International Court Of Justice. Although it was q

I'm testing this website which can print your photo's and send them to you.This in itself isn't very special (I doubt I ever will for € 34c p/photo), but the thing they don't specifically tout is that you can upload any amount of pictures to the we

Well, I'm done. I've been at it for over a week now, but I think I've finally comprised a wearable platform which is capable of doing whatever I want, whenever I want it. A few small issues remain, but I don't think they're unsolvable. The entire pa

A long favourite of mine, Dr. Edwards' Space Elevator.The idea is to connect a platform 62.000 miles Out There to Earth with 1-meter wide carbon nanotube. Groundlaser powered elevators can then travel the cable, lowering operational cost to about $10

I'm not going to write excessively on this subject. Nobody is above the law. Full Stop. However, the problem here is that they now don't really subject to the law, they rather try to fight the fight for immunity on other battlefields, by individual s

I've been looking around for a decent alternative for the keyboard. I'll probably be buying a laptop before too soon, but the small keys will be highly annoying for me, I already know that.So I started thinking about the various foldable keyboards ou

Malfador Machinations today reports that the coding of Space Empires V game is well underway, and they upped the SE V website. As a dedicated fan of Space Empires IV (I jumped on the bandwagon with Space Empires III), I can't wait! Besides the Civili

Last Friday, I heard directly from the Lion's Mouth that Time Commanders is up for a second season, and filming will start later this year.It's odd though that the BBC has deleted any reference to Time Commanders from their website...Time Commanders
