I would like to congratulate all US citizens for making a great choice. As you know I was a supporter of Obama and I’m very pleased that he was elected president last week. To me Obama is exactly what America needs; not just change but also inspiration. Someone we can all believe in worldwide to [...]

As some of you might know I’m an avid supporter of Formula 1 racing. I love the combination of engineering, technology, sport and competition it entails. This weekend was the last race of the season. My favourite team is McLaren and I like the Brit Lewis Hamilton who drives for them. He was up in [...]

Okay, I might be going on a rant about Obama and how he should become the next president…but I keep running into articles and photo essays that just inspire me so much. I think this guy can inspire a nation!
(and if you ask me the USA is past due for some inspiration from the Commander [...]

When it comes to politics I’m a supporter of the liberal party in The Netherlands. Most of my votes have gone to the VVD which is the largest Dutch liberal party. So when it comes to US politics I’m much more of a (liberal) democrat than a (conservative) republican. Especially now that Barack Obama is [...]

There aren’t many stories that quickly inspire me or move me, but this one actually brought tears to my eyes. I think it’s the combination of the text and then the video that did it for me. Read and look for yourself and let me know your thoughts.

Today Lisette brought home a new gadget. Now, she works for an internet company so you know she will come home with something new and cool every now and then. When she mentioned it was a keyboard I immediately hoped for the Optimus Maximus keyboard which I’ve been dying to see in real life from [...]

I wrote about Ayaan Hirsi Ali before here and here. She just published her book Infidel which got her on The Colbert Report. Here is the clip:

Again she is calm and collected and gives some straight answers that hit home. Amazing the Dutch government kicked her out just when we needed someone like this the [...]

Today I was looking through the top-stories on reddit I found the headline ‘Why they deny the Holocaust‘ interesting enough to click on. What I found was an article written by ex member of the Dutch parliament Ayaan Hirshi Ali. Hirshi Ali was a Somali refugee who left Dutch politics over a controversy over her [...]
