Piano Fortissimo and Piano Pianissimo!

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Just got my piano in! Have played for years when I was young(er), but haven’t played in 10+ years or so. Untill now, decided to pick it up again after I heard a collegue playing the blues in a bar last year…

To make sure that my neighbours don’t suffer from my practice lessons, I bought an acoustic Yamaha with “Silent System“, so can play both Fortissimo as Pianissimo now ;)

6 years of Zylom - Party today!

6 years of Zylom

Zylom is now (close to) 6 years old, so another personnel party today/tonight.

Theme is more or less “Mobstyle”, so I’ll attend in my regular clothes :) , as pictured to the left, wearing my new IWC Portuguese in plain sight. Also bought lotsa crap jewelery at a store (do people actually WEAR that stuff ?!), but still not sure if I need it, or if this style is bad enough by itself (esp. since around 0.1% of the ppl at Zylom ever did see me in a suit)

Femke kept her clothing a secret to me (…), so I wonder how we will show up ;)

After-note: Ain’t I looking like a real professional poker player ?

Alexadex

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

Found this game a couple of weeks ago, AlexaDex. Basically, you get $10000 (fake money) to start with, and can gamble on sites that will rise in traffic (according to Alexa). Insider traiding is allowed, so I try to buy domains that I know will rise soon because of (new) launches :) Also, major recent events, press releases etc., all help in reaching that $1m (my first goal).

Try it yourself, but beware: VERY addictive!

Edenaar crashes into 22 cars

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

ARNHEM - A 23yr old guy crashed into 22 parked cars on monday morning.

The guy, who remained unhurt, proved to be under the influence of alcohol, according to the police.

The Edenaar went by unknown cause in a slide, his car tumbled over and kept on rolling, crashing into 22 other cars.

Wow. Couldn’t even have done that being sober…
