CNN.com: Near simultaneous explosions rocked the London Underground network and at least one bus at the morning rush hour.

Please don’t tell me this is happening all over again…

First picture from the Rockin’ Park festival…more to come later!

ZDNet.com:

The European Parliament has rejected a controversial measure that would

have created a single method of patenting software throughout the EU.

Kissy uploaded new pictures, check’em out! Can’t wait to go there!! 🙂

NASA.gov: Deep Impact Kicks Off Fourth of July With Deep Space Fireworks.

Where science meets Hollywood? It’s like Armageddon meets Independance Day: ID4!

Unreal if you think about it…

NEWS.com.au:

Famous landmark gone in 60 seconds…One of the famous Twelve Apostles

collapsed yesterday into a heap of rubble, destroying in seconds a

landmark nature had taken 20 million years to create.

Adam got rated for his fixed wing…great job dude, congrats!

Guess he will take us all out for flying! At least in a “Daily Flight Cast” orso! 🙂

Flightseeing podcasting tours galore!

Today is the day…LIVE 8!!

Gonna help Tjerk and Annemiek with moving today. They move from the delightful city village city township  CITY of Zoetermeer (aka Sweet Lake City) to Bodegraven, of all places. 🙂

Guess I will be wrecked tonight…do I hear massages…anyone???

An evening without any plans! Well now, that’s a long time ago!

Enjoyed a great chili earlier and will now tune in to the ‘House of Wax’ (BitTorrent rules!)…LATERRRR.

Mixed feelings this day, saying final goodbyes to my grandfather and at the same time my brothers 31st Birthday!

The priest this morning made a nice relation between the two;

You celibrate the day of your birth on your Birthday (obvious in

english…in dutch the word for Birthday is actually ‘verjaardag’ which

literally means ‘aging’-day, a different meaning…).

The early Christians ‘celibrated’ the day of someones death as the Birthday in heaven. Another point of view, ah?

So I can say…Happy Birthday both of you!!

Today was my grandfathers funeral.

The church provided a feed to listen to the service online, so Kristel

could also ‘join’ us from Canada with the last honors. A direct

download of the ceremony can be found here.

The last thoughts on this day; it’s good as it is…

Sooner than expected after Steve Jobs announced it (see my earlier post); iTunes 4.9 has seen daylight supporting podcasts!!

I have to see what the effect will be on other ipodder clients now that

everything is integrated in one application, will try it out the coming

weeks and see! At first glance Apple looked closely to the current

clients and functionalities available, time to open the hood 🙂

A major improvement by having podcasts as a seperate item in iTunes, is

that I finally have an opportunity to get rid of the undesired mix of

podcasts artists and music artists in my Library.

This really cleans up my iPod, especially handy when friends are searching for numbers (music that is) via the Artists item!

Just heared Adam Curry’s Keynote speech on Gnomedex 5.0. DAMN, this is good stuff…it really gets me pumped up!

Users and developers partying together, happy to be part of it from day 1!

Despite the cold shower this morning I must admit, Rockin’ Park was ROCKIN’!

Great shows (Nine Inch Nails was the best!) and just terrific weather!

Camping out turned out the be a good idea, the heaps we paid for the

splendid weather helped obviously! 🙂  all in all: F*&#ing

FANTASTIC!

A man quietly filled with love and respect for one another…you certainly set the example.

Thank you for everything!

My grandparents have the following saying (in dutch) put a wall in

their house for over 20 years, it gets a totally different meaning

these days:

‘Het is in dat huis geheel verdraaid waar het haantje zwijgt en het hennetje kraait’

YEAH!! This is where you can find me tomorrow! Rockin’ Park! Great artists (Keane, Queens of a Stone Age, Lenny Kravitz, Nine Inch Nails to name ‘just’ a few :))

We’re making it a festival type of weekend by leaving today, camp out

in the wonderful village of Wijchen (of all places, never been there

actually!) and return on Monday.

Weather is supposed to be just perfect so; ho-ho…let’s go!!

Weather this week has been absolutely fabulous! 30+ the whole week, not

really dutchy style at all, it made us the 36th heathwave since 100

years!

Pity that shitloads of work prevented me to enjoy it in full, but there is always the weekend….TGIF!!

iPodder 2.1 has been released today, just in time for Gnomedex!

ZDNet: “A

new company called BadFruit has anticipated Apple Computer’s plans to

add podcasting support to iTunes with a software plug-in called

“BadApple” that does the trick itself.”

Seems everyone is trying to jump on the podcasting-train! 🙂
