I am very impressed with Google Wave. It really will change radically the way we communicate. It's difficult to oversee all the new possiblities right now - but I my mind is already full of new ideas and concepts. So this the day that email, word, chat etc. died and Wave was born... If you see one video this week - make sure it is this one!

Ruben without his head :-§
As much as I like Ruben, it seems that I really liked his Ducati 748 more... ;-)
what is it with guys hugging?
It seems like a new craze: hugging. People are hugging all the time. Some sociologists pointed out that African-American boys and men have been hugging as part of their greeting for decades, using the word “dap” to describe a ritual involving handshakes, slaps on the shoulders and, more recently, a hug, also sometimes called the gangsta hug. It could have some sexual menaing but pro-hugging students say it is not a romantic or sexual gesture, simply the new “hello”. The high-five is, like, boring. So "Hugg" ! :-)

New Enduro Motor suit
To ease the "pain" from my unfortunate motor accident I gave myself a treat in buying a Rev'it enduro suit. It is great with three layers so it is always right for what ever climate and has plenty of handy pockets.

Today I was elected member of the board of supervisors of WoningNet, an IT and marketing data company for housing societies. I hope I can contribute to make this great company even better. :-)

Sunday's best: Top ten Detective TV shows
What is it with Detectives that they are almost always single elderly men? Most of them have problems with their (ex) wives. Hardly any of them have children. And most of the times the seem very unhappy in their private lives. Maybe that is necessary to fully concentrate on the job (or it makes a better story ;-) ). While watching the Dalziel & Pascoe series, I was wondering what the best Detective TV shows were:
- Foyle's War - because of the stories and settings.
- Dalziel & Pascoe - This is one show where it is difficult to guess who done it right from the start (it takes me about 10 minutes :-)) )
- Wallander - because it is swedish...
- Morse - Because of John Thaw, and his car of course
- Columbo - Nice stories
- McCloud - Who doesn't want to be Sam McCloud?
- Frost - Nice social settings
- Midsommer Murders - Because of its English county sides and festivals
- Tatort - still going strong after almost 40 years. I like especially Hansjörg Felmy as Kommissar Haferkamp
- Poirot - Little outdated, but nice Art Deco settings

Nightmare at the Museum II
The first NatM was sometimes amusing. Unfortunately the makers made an exact copy full with clichés. The film is boring, not funny and way to long...
