So we got this new house, wanted to warm it with you guys, made a parteh announcement, and then found out a lot of our friends couldn’t make it that date due to a prior engagement..
So we could do 2 things: host a party for the 3 people who could come that day or postpone, which is what we’re doing. As we’ll be very busy from August on ourselves we haven’t yet picked a date, but we’ll surely let you know as soon as we do.

We used to have this nice white kitty, clean, cute, but most of all white.

You got the picture right?
Nowadays we have a garden and he’s allowed outside, suddenly we no longer have a nice clean white kitty anymore but something more like a dirty moggie.

We’re desperately in need of kitty shampoo… (and an animal friendly way of stopping him to like the underside of cars so much)

3. Teaching Maths In 1990

4. Teaching Maths In 2000
A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.
His cost of production is £80 and his profit is £20.
Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
5. Teaching Maths In 2005
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and
inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the
preservation of our woodlands. Your assignment: Discuss how might the birds
and squirrels feel as the logger cuts down their homes just for a measly
profit of £20.
6. Teaching Maths In 2009
A logger is arrested for trying to cut down a tree in case it may be
offensive to religious groups not consulted in the felling licence. He is
also fined a £100 as his chainsaw is in breach of Health & Safety
legislation as it is deemed too dangerous and could cut something. He has
used the chainsaw for over 20 years without incident, however he does not
have the correct certificate of competence and is therefore considered to be
a criminal. His DNA is sampled and his details circulated throughout all
government agencies. He protests and is taken to court and fined another
£100 because he is such an easy target. When he is released he returns to
find Gypsies have cut down half his wood to build a camp on his land. He
tries to throw them off but is arrested, prosecuted for harassing an ethnic
minority, imprisoned and fined a further £100. While he is in jail the
Gypsies cut down the rest of his wood and sell it on the black market for
£100 cash. They also have a leaving BBQ of squirrel and pheasant and depart
leaving behind several tonnes of rubbish and asbestos sheeting. The forester
on release is warned that failure to clear the fly tipped rubbish
immediately at his own cost is an offence. He complains and is arrested for
environmental pollution, breach of the peace and invoiced £12000 plus VAT
for safe disposal costs by a regulated government contractor. Your
assignment: How many times is the logger going to have to be arrested and
fined before he realises that he is never going to make £20 profit by hard
work, give up, sign onto the dole and live off the state for the rest of his
life?

So, I picked up my new tires today, and, while i was walking back, went by to take a picture of the trailer i’ll be dragging on my way to HAR2009.
Tomorrow I’ll go get some moar supplies for my bike and continue fixing it up. Great fun

I’m in love. Genuine, head-in-clouds, head-over-heels love. I could not have imagined this would happen, just over a year ago.
My partner, Robyn, is sweet, lovable, cute and beautiful on the inside and out. She’s from Portland, Oregon, USA, and in just over a year she totally conquered my heart. This is why we decided to get married.
We planned a July wedding. July 12th, the day we met last year, to be exact. Then fate came by and brought us a unique opportunity.
The I do IAmsterdam project is a project to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the foundation of New Amsterdam (now New York). In this project, 5 American/Dutch couples will be married by mayor J. Cohen during the Amsterdam Pride on August 1st. This will take place on one of the boats in the canal parade.
As you might have guessed, we’re one of those couples.
We don’t have all the details yet, but as soon as I have them, they will be on my Facebook page and my Twitter-stream.
I want to thank my family, my soon-to-be-in-law-family and friends for the huge amount of support they keep giving us. Without them, we probably wouldn’t be able to do this.

Well, I’ve had my ticket since 26-03, but I’ve sorta finally started planning and everything.
This year I will not be traveling by car, nor public transport. Instead, I will try to travel the ~40km by bike! For this purpose I now possess a city-bike which I’m (under xSmurf’s remote supervision) ‘adjusting’ to a touring bike.
I’ve found a ‘bike trolley’ by pure accident, which I’m bringing
Tnx Wout \o/ That will surely bring over quite some hardware and big things
Swapping the tires is the first of my tasks in this wild process. Currently the bike has run down tires of the 26×1.95 size, which I’m going to swap for 26×1 3/8 size for less traction.
Whatever the future hold for me after that, I do not know, but I’m liking this summer already
Hope to party with you all later \o/

Al die vooroordelen ook altijd – dat er in New York City altijd stoom uit de grond komt, dat er altijd aan de weg wordt gewerkt, of dat de Yellow Cabs je hard voorbij komen scheuren. Er is niks van waar.
