Somebody came up with yet another use of Google Maps: playing Risk.



Last time I checked it wasn't necessarily a very good or playable game, but like they say... it's the thought that counts. ;-)

With all these uses people are finding for Google maps, I really, REALLY wish that Google would get some more high resoluton satelite images of the Netherlands.

Now if only someone'd make one of these for Dutch/European power plugs, I'd order multiple at once.

As real Disney lovers we try to find "hidden mickey's" whenever we're at Disneyland Paris. Here's one that we found at the counter of one of the shops. From the looks we got when taken this picture, probably even most cast members were not aware of this one.

You've gotta love some of the newer furniture that high tech allows. Like this bottomless coffee table. Let me quote: "Using two-way spy glass as well as an additional pane of mirrored glass on a lower shelf, the table offers an illusion of bottomless depth."



That'll make my inlaws go insane. Which makes me almost ready to buy one. I'm just a bit afraid of how much shipping will cost from Sweden to here....

A good example of the reason why the contestants in the Eurovision Song Context should sing in the language of their own country:

Iceland - Jonsi - Heaven
I still miss you and it makes me feel blue
I'm still lost without those colors of you

Please, please, please.... save me from this kind of lyrics in the future. In icelandic he might sing exactly the same thing, but at least I wouldn't understand it. :-)

Dit is een foto van de eigen waterkoeling die een collega van me heeft gemaakt. Meer cyberpunk dan dit, heb ik ze nog nooit gezien. Hij weigert helaas om de groene slangen ook door koper te vervangen. Ja natuurlijk is dat minder efficient voor de warmteafvoer, maar daar gaat dit project voor mij allang niet meer om. Oh, voor hem wel? Oh...

The bible with illustrations in LEGO bricks.

I wish all classics came in this format. :-)
