Nederlandse traditie dus ook een Nederlandstalige blog. Niet te moeilijk doen, je weet toch. Moet ik het Sint-Maarten feest uberhaupt toelichten? Nee toch? Heb je echt geen idee? Kijk dan maar even op Wikipedia. Vroeger zelf veel snoep gescoord op deze avond. En man man, wat was ik pissed als ik ergens een appel of …
Today I went to an event about knowledge management. Very interesting and with some inspiring sessions. And a good subject too. Not sure how, but a Top 10 about knowledge management should be possible. Let’s see what I can do with that subject. But after such a day I’m going to keep the list simple, …
This weekend the world’s biggest record fair is taking place again in the Brabanthallen in Den Bosch. Good location, especially since I made some great party memories there. I loved the Impulz Indoor parties. The record fair will be filled by records dealers from all over the world and uses a space of 16000 square …
As I mentioned in yesterday’s blog, I have quite some records from 1993 in the collection. Therefore I was not sure yet what today’s list would bring. But hey, it’s my blog, so my rules.

A long time ago in an earlier blog I mentioned that when I was growing up videoclips became more and more popular. So as a young man growing up I was increasingly exposed to all kinds of beautiful ladies. Or in some cases girls almost the same age. So occasionally I had a little crush …
Weet je wat? Laten we dat ene 80’s jaar wat ik nog niet heb gehad dan ook maar gelijk wegtikken. En jullie hebben geluk, blijkbaar was ik nog niet zo met muziek bezig als een jaar later. Of ik had in dat jaar gewoon een betere smaak. Als ik zo naar de hitlijst van dat …
I was browsing today’s birthdays on Wikipedia earlier and noticed that today is Loretta Swit‘s birthday. Who? I can hear some of you asking. My younger readers will probably not even know her, but people from my age and older will definately know this lady. Loretta Switt played Margaret Hot Lips Houlihan in the very …
Once again, I found my inspiration while listening to the radio. I heard the number 3 from today’s list yesterday. Have to admit that for some reason I initially thought it was Midnight Oil. But anyway, after haering the track my mind kept thinking about more fire related tracks. And who does not love a …
