Congrats to Adam Christianson with the 100th episode of The MacCast!
I’m a big fan of the show and listening since February this
year…having (finally) switched to Mac (mini) in May, you bet I’m a
happy mac user and MacCast listener!
Hardly any time to post these days, I’m still alive though (working my ass off…again!)
Stay tuned!
My company car is at the end of its lease. so I am checking my options
for a new one…mommy, I found one that I would really want!!! The
brand new Alfa Romeo 159:
Cool, eh? Will discuss pricing this weekend!
Coincidentally Adam Curry is also looking for a new car (as the lease
of his Audi A8 expires end of the year)…there *is* however a small
difference in our selection as seen on his weblog. just a small one 🙂
Mark Twain: “Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your
life. It is far better that you fear the media, for they will steal
your honor. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is
created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons
who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on
their way to the poorhouse.”
I went climbing yesterday…indoor climbing that is!
Having never done this before, I must say it’s a great thing and actually more
difficult than expected. You use muscles that you didn’t know the
existence of 🙂
My best friend from Down-Under, Mike, introduced me to this sport (he’s
doing this several years already) and I went to a climbing wall
(‘klimmuur’ in dutch) in The Hague (climbing center ‘Steep Part’)
All in all it went pretty good for the first time, even though I didn’t
manage to climb a part with a over hang (when the wall is slightly
coming to you and you’re climbing ‘underneath’ it), sjeez…those
climbs are TOUGH! My underarms and hands are feeling the work they did
yesterday, showing myself that I gave it my best shot.
I learned that
climbing is actually all about saving your energy, using technique and
your brains and not brute power to climb up. You still need some
mucle-power though, so I will train especially my arms for the next
time!
