Flying safely
Friday, January 25th, 2008If you fly once in a while you have to stand the safety video, which is more boring every flight. Here’s something to help you stay awake.
Bet now you remember.
Chicken dead or alive
Friday, January 18th, 2008The other day the news on the frontpage was aboutJamie Oliver killing chickens live on television. People were shocked and had tears in their eyes.
His goal was good. You can read about it on the internet everywhere.
The reason I put it here on my blog is that in my newspaper, the NRC, there was an article about it on the same page as a recepe for… yes, chicken!
Still trying to loose waight
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008The problem isn’t losing weight, it’s gaining weight.
From the website of John Walker (klik on diet and nutrition)
He has en engineering approach to the subject that pleasses me.
Suppose you want to take off 10 pounds over two months. Just work out the total calories you have to burn by multiplying the pounds you wish to lose by the calories in a pound of fat, 10 × 3500 = 35000, divide by the number of days in two months, 35000 / 60 ≈ 585, and then you know what to eat less every day. If you know what you burn every day (for me that’s about 2000 calories) you know what to do. It’s as simple as that.
Ok, the site doen’t look sophisticated at all and its all text but then again, its the content that counts. Its noting new too, but to me it’s worth wile reading it again.
get my stuff done

I like that word, procrastination.
Look at his other little movies as wel. They are so cute.
‘Alles is liefde’
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008THE movie in the Netherlands at the moment. Dutch film and of international quality I must say.
The other day I went to this movie, everything is love is the meaning of the title.
I loved it. Its a real feel good movie, happy endings all over. Very nice. Not deep at all. Good casting en good playing either.
Go and see it, you’ll spend a very nice two hours. Sometimes you don’t want to think meaningfull thoughts… don’t you?

He: “Who isn’t, but what do you do in the mean time…”
