Why are children’s songs always so sweet and unrealistic. I think it is better to just be honest and tell the truth.
We received a CD with Dutch children’s songs and some of these songs were so very sweet and childish. I could not resist myself and made an improved and more realistic version. There are probably still some problems with the rhyme but that can be fixed.
Advantages compared to the original:
The design I made for the commemorative coin resulted in a big fail. The fact that I had really though about the design did not help a bit.
In my design all the European countries were united into one big arrow. The arrow was constructed out of various smaller parts. Each little part represents one of the European countries. The side (width) of every part is calculated using the number of inhabitants of a country. The height is dependent of the value of the countries original coin from before the euro, and the starting point is related to the year the country introduced the euro.
All my calculus and drawing efforts have been in vain. To bad. If you want you can still vote for one of the selected coin designs.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the euro coin a design content has been started to get the new design of a future commemorative coin. All citizens of Europe can participate and if you present the best design of the 731 million potential participants you win a set of coins and of course some honor. You have two more weeks because the design needs to be submitted in the 20th of May.
The design needs to be related/inspired by the 10 year existence of the euro, but the number 10 cannot be used. Using the number 10 would be confusing when you need to determine the value of the coin. A 2 euro coin with a 10 on it could easily be used to rip off non Europeans, and that should of course be avoided. It’s also prohibited to use any written text on the coin.
I’m going to have a brainstorm session about this theme this weekend, and maybe I’ll try my luck with a simple design.
Meer en meer gebruiken we de computer alleen om een verbinding te leggen met het internet. Mail checken, bankzaken regelen, betalingen, bellen, videobellen, eventjes iets opzoeken, muziek beluisteren, films kijken, series downloaden, een boek lezen, een recept nakijken.
Wat nog ontbrak voor mij was een harde schijf die ik overal kan gebruiken. Ik stuurde wel eens bestanden naar mijn eigen email, zodat ik ze altijd bij de hand had, maar het kan toch gemakkelijker. Met Dropbox kan je gratis een harddiskje van 2GB maken, die je vanaf een willekeurige plek kan benaderen. Zelfs vanaf je smartphone!.
En extra leuk is dat je met allerlei zaken extra diskruimte kan verdienen. De tutorial doorlopen is goed voor 250MB extra. Zorgen dat iemand anders zich aanmeld via een referentie zorgt er ook voor dat de nieuwe persoon en ikzelf 250MB erbij krijgen. Erg goed bedacht.
In the end the floorplanner website did turn out to be very useful. I was able to quickly make a nice layout of our apartment. The measurements are all off, but the result looks very much like the setup we have at home.
Las Palmas is a nice short movie that shows quite accurately how the average tourist sometimes behaves. Living in Las Palmas it is a situation that I can clearly recognise, but luckily it does not happen that often. Good to see ‘our’ island getting some attention.
This Sunday I’ll take in some culture. After my running session we’ll visit the theater and see a show by Pagagnini. A group of musicians that combine music with some kind of show, or at least this is what I think it will be.
Classic music combined with dance, theater and humor. An attractive combination.
It will also be my first visit to the Alfredo Kraus auditorium, so I’m looking forward to it!
Everybody know and everybody agrees on this topic. Calling a help desk is an absolute nightmare. In Belgium that took revenge in a beautiful way.
A russian, a movie, a revolution! Yeah for Dimitri!
This is the original version of Dimitri’s movie, but the subtitled alternatives are much more fun.
Dimitri signed up at the inHolland university
Dimitri is also a fan of the Dutch football team
