Climbing Russian and Sesamestreet

Posted by Tjeerd on April 27, 2006

Not so long ago, there was a movie on the Internet about some French guy who jumped and climbed on all kind of buildings and obstacles. Yesterday I found another movie about a Russian dude doing almost the same moves. If you watch this guy doing those moves, the first thing I think is: I also want to be able to do that!

Guess you really have to train a lot and it’s pretty dangerous too.

  I also found (thanks to Don) a nice page with an overview of all Sesamestreet characters, which you can find here. Have you ever seen the nephew of Bert? And what about the brother of Bert, Bart? Very cool site. This site will become one of my favorites I think.

Albert Hubo

Posted by Tjeerd on April 23, 2006
 Einstein should’ve crushed the hands of Bush Everytime you think you’ve seen the latest tech-stuff, you actually see stuff which is ready for the market or to be sold. Ofcourse a lot of company’s and guys behind the scenes are busy with developing even more advanced technologies. One of the things I came along today is the robot called “Albert Hubo” created by Hanson Robotics. Take a look at at this movie. It shows you a stand-alone robot with Einstein’s head on top of it. Ofcourse it isn’t yet completely ’stable’ and smooth looking. But within 5 or 10 years, these kind of robots will be reasonly perfectioned, is what I guess (actually hope). Very cool stuff, but that’s because it’s my area of interest.

Classic videoclips

Posted by Tjeerd on April 21, 2006

Do you agree too that a lot of old videoclips from around the eighties are cool? Then you have to visit this site. It contains a huge archive of videoclips from Aha, Bangles, MC Hammer, Technotronic etc. Most of the videoclips I haven’t even seen in my life, but I do know a lot of them from just having them heard.

Some cool ones are Lipps Inc. – Funky Town, OMD – Enola gay, Patrick Hernandez – Born to be alive, The Proclaimers – I’m gonna be.

Marathon Utrecht

  As you can see me standing here – this picture gives a good contrast of the sporters vs. the audience – , you can guess I’ve been shooting some pictures of the Marathon of Utrecht. The weather was perfect, sunny and dry. Take a look at the pictures here.
