101010 = 42

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

It’s October 10, 2010 today, 10-10-10. Techies obviously realize that 101010 is the binary representation for 42 which is (of course 😉 ) the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything according to Douglas Adams’ science fiction series The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak will dedicate a special episode (#242) of their No Agenda show to the number 42…tune in and listen to the livestream from 18h CEST or subscribe to the podcast!

Autumn nature

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

I went for a short hike in the forest today, it is *so* nice to have nature starting at the backyard! 😉

It was nice autumn weather (well, *almost* since it did not rain hehe 😉 ) and that made it a fantastic trip; the variety in colors, the smell of nature, no wind, everything so quiet and yet full of energy, I love it!

Here are some pics that I took (click on them for a larger version):

Song of the day: The New Dork

Friday, October 8th, 2010

It’s Fridaaayyyyyy, Thank God (and Allah, Bhagwan, Krishna, Yahweh, Oya and myself)!!

Time for some tunes, and because of the lack of geek-speak in the last weeks, I can’t think of a better song that The New Dork, Entrepreneur State of Mind!! 😉

Boosts of Energy

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

Exactly six years ago today I gave Adam Curry a ‘Boost of Energy’ when we met in traffic on the Dutch A4 highway; I was listening to one of the first episodes of his Daily Source Code podcast (well, it wasn’t even called podcasting back then), and he was recording a next episode in his studio Audi A8 so our encounter got recorded, here is the clip 😉 )…last weekend ‘Podfather’ Adam (arranged by Andre and Axel) gave me a ‘Boost of Energy’ back with a special 35 minute Delta Sierra Charlie episode #777.5 ‘Upgrade or Die’, filled with stories and songs that make the soundtrack of our lives…it fitted perfectly in the Ode to Love atmosphere!

Thx a million dudes, it was UNFORGETABLE…keep the Energy Boosting!!

Love and death

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

Love and death go hand in hand these days;

This Sunday morning, at the end of our Ode to Love weekend, our friend and Stefanie’s brother in law Wout passed away…what a shock! And today it’s exactly two years ago that my cousin Marcel passed away…Both are leaving a big gap and are missed by many…

In the spirit of last weekend; I LOVE you both and send you and the ones left behind eternal LOVE…

Mobile Phone 2.0

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

After all the LOVE-posts the past week, I feel it is time now for some good’old geek/tech related news! 😉

Mozilla Labs’ Concept Series: “The Mozilla Seabird, part of the Mozilla Labs’ Concept Series, is an experiment in how users might interact with their mobile content as devices and technology advances.”

Oh well, we might refer to this post as the LOVE for a mobile phone, eh? 😉

World Animal Day

Monday, October 4th, 2010

From the ‘On this day…’ segment on the righthand side of my blog I noticed that this is the second year in a row that I have not been home for the cats on World Animal Day…and, even more bizarre; similar as last year we:

“…left our three cats ‘alone’ outside…they obviously have enough food and water, but still…I’ll give’m something extra tomorrow night when I get back home”

…yes, also this year I am flying back home the day after, so October 5…history repeats…

QOTD October 4 2010

Monday, October 4th, 2010

Thomas a Kempis: “Love flies, runs, and rejoices; it is free and nothing can hold it back.”

Sunday, October 3rd, 2010

The day after, and the energy keeps on flowing…more than a 1000 words cannot describe this weekend. Everything can be said in two words followed by a silence filled with energy:

LOVE IS…!

Ode to Love

Saturday, October 2nd, 2010

“Als je beseft dat je liefde niet moet zoeken
maar het kunt herkennen in jezelf
herken je het ook in de ander
en maak je ‘t samen tot iets groots”

“When you realize that you don’t have to search for love
but are able to recognize it within yourself
you recognize it in the other as well
and together you make it into something big”

One Love

Friday, October 1st, 2010

Only one day left…it is time, time to go for a weekend in which we celebrate LOVE…love for each other, and every one around us…we are all ONE!
