I was surprised a few years back when James, a friend of mine, introduced me to what looked like "Spam sushi" - nori seaweed paper rolled around sushi-vinegared rice and a big long hunk of spam. I made the normal protests ("I'm too hip and cool for this Spam business ") and then shut the <blank> up and tried it. It....was.....AMAZING. I couldn't believe it. The official Hawaiian dish is called Spam musubi and you can find a recipe here, but you should really follow the traditional s...

George Soros is a Billionaire investment
capitalist who came to the attention of millions of Americans for the first time with
his 527 organization MoveOn.Org. From
where I’m sitting, George seems like kind of a nut-job and an egomaniac…but
then anyone who comes up with his own civil philosophy, and then spends billions of
dollars promoting it around the world would have to be…wouldn’t he? And
frankly, he’s the egomaniacal nu...

Le Monde is de eerste krant die het bloggen via zijn homepage aanbiedt en promoot. Pourquoi? Zodat de lezers daarmee hun eigen 'journal' kunnen maken en delen, met teksten en foto's.
Mooi voorbeeld van een manier waarop 'amateur journalists' letterlijk naast de professionele readactie kunnen staan. Wel moeten de bloggers zich voor het openen van een blog zich conformeren aan de (gedrags)regels. Waarmee Le Monde uiteraard elke aansprakelijkheid voor de inhoud van de blogs uit...

Another pleasant evening in Colombo was spent in the Cricket Club Café (CCC) which we introduced to Ken, a Canadian, who had just arrived in Sri Lanka to work. Ken had contacted me via my blog , this afternoon, and we arranged to meet at the CCC at 17:30. Helen, my wife, and myself spent a very enjoyable couple of hours chatting to Ken and I hope he enjoyed it just as much :) Ken & myself had the Chilli crab which, as always, was excellent and Helen had Nachos which she enjoyed.

Anyone knows what a "Love Pain Congress" is? Neither did I, so I yesterday I went to LovePangs in Ghent.
When you get in, you are screened by the Love Pain Police to see in what stage of the process you are: Pain, Rage, Resent or Over. I got the black 'OVER' badge, because well yeah, I'm over it. You also get 20 Pain Euro that you can use later in the event. The most important part of the Congress are the one-on-one conversations you can have with 'pain experts'. These are an ...

Read
Neuromancer,
Gibson - I've had this one my shelf since high school - not because I specifically
tried to avoid it, but because it got lost. It fortunately caught my eye while I looked
for fiction to take with me to Kyrgyzstan. This is a wonderful book. Gibson's writing
is incredibly rich, the world he creates is, well, rich, also, and the story is engaging.
This book deserves the kudos it's gotten si...

Busy day yesterday, since I had been helping out at the booth. When I arrived in the morning, half an hour before the fair started, I heard a recap of what went on at the booth on Friday. I hadn't seen much of the booth on Friday, since I spent most of the time with Edwin, a guy I had met online in the Dutch town on Brettspielwelt. I was surprised to run into him, because he had told me he was going on Saturday. He had changed his plans, and we browsed the fair together, and had some coffee. All...

His

There have been a large number of odd court rulings in France lately. However, it looks like there's one lawsuit that might be worth following closely. A consumer association there is suing Apple and Sony for using copy protection, claiming that it's limiting consumers' choice. Of course, there's a similar lawsuit in the US that doesn't seem likely to stand much of a chance. While these lawsuits do show that consumers are fed up with being treated like criminals even on products they've alre...

realize that the Republican’s started the whole muck-raking, sex-obsessed dirty-tricks
thing by spending $70 million finding a stain on a blue dress and trying to take

down with it.
I
also realize that the claim of “restoring honor to the Office of the Presidency”
is a bit hifallutin’ for a guy that has to hire “journalists” to
