The Dancing Queen thing was an interesting experiment, but this one is maybe even better. Take one picture every mile when driving accross the US. Clark: can you say hectometerpaal? (inside joke)

What if you listened to the same song for over five hours? Would you go mad, would you survive? And what if that song is Dancing Queen performed by Abba (which happens to be one of Lisette’s favourite songs mainly becuase they used to play it over and over again during her time at college)? [...]

!@(cupid1.jpg popimg: “Where are we going?”)Lisette and I will go on our (late) Valentine’s trip this coming weekend. We try to do this every year around Valentine. This year it is a little later then usual because I had some trouble making reservations… That won’t spoil the fun though!
Where we will go and what we [...]

3M (or drei M as some people tend to call it) claims this is real money encased in their security glass. I like the idea of them putting their money where their mouth is, but I also want to see what happens when people try to get the money out (perhaps a SUV will do [...]

!@(crackerbarrel.jpg popimg: “Cracker Barrel”)The Gothamist get’s all worked up in this post about Cracker Barrel touring Brooklyn looking for a good place to settle. First I thought: so what? It’s a free country. If they think a Cracker Barrel will work in tha hood then so be it. Let them try it out.
But I don’t [...]

You Are 24 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view – and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You [...]

!@(breakup.jpg popimg: “Break-up”) So how do you say “see ya!” when it’s time to move on to a different special someone? Many people have troubles with just that. A Dutch tour operator has picked-up on that and launched a viral campaign to address the break-up problem many people (teens mainly) face trying to break-up before [...]

You might have noticed that my current look-and-feel for the site isn’t completly fault free. I’ve been trying to tweak it so it would work with Internet Explorer and (the much better!) FireFox…but I can’t get the hang of revising the CSS to my likings (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, feel good [...]

The world is becoming smaller almost by the hour, and eventhough I can call, e-mail, fax or text anyone around the globe in just milliseconds, we all want to keep our own culture. That’s why Coca-Cola tastes differently in Europe as it does in the US, why McDonalds and Disneyland in Paris serve beer, and [...]

The Earth was built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you’ve had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily. So my first piece of advice to you, dear would-be Earth-destroyer, is: do NOT think this will be easy.
