Benjamin Ola. Akande is Dean of School of Business & Technology at Webster University St. Louis and a good friend of ours. A few days ago he was on NPR Public Radio reading the letter he wrote to his three daughters the night Barack Obama was elected. You see, Benjamin followed the same path as [...]
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 [...]
It seems so distant now, but two years ago we were living the good life in southeren California where people were telling us we were stupid if we didn’t by a house. “There is alsmost no interest on a loan and real estate prices are only going up!” we often heard. Even “owning a house [...]
Last week I made some pictures of a Friesian foal for a friend of ours. She works with Friesian horses and has a carriage and a tram for tours, weddings and such. Actually, the horse tram and horse drawn carriage we had at our wedding are hers.
Sometimes she breeds with them and this female foal [...]

Today is my birthday! I turned a big 32 today. The years are starting to count…but I do feel young as ever. This morning Lisette surprised me with a cow bar. That might need some explanation… You see in The Netherlands we have a candy bar called ‘koetjesreep’ which translated means cow bar. It’s something [...]
After my last purchase of gear for my camera I must admit I got a bit greedy. I noticed all these nice little gimmicks that I wanted in addition to what I got before. As I often do I figured I would wait and think about it before I made the decision. After all, these [...]

Yep, that’s right! It looks like a new design. The pink design I had before was just interim design until I found something new.
