Ampelmann anno 1998

Yeeeh, Rivella is going to be marketed throughout Europe, according to the readers of Frank-ly! (Hint: whois drinkme.nl, Heineken is owner of Vrumona, thanks to the research-fu of the visitors of Frank-ly ;-))

While it is not very uncommon to see advertisers go to Iceland to use the magnificient landscape as a backdrop for their productions (Axe also does it= for their self-tanning body lotion stuff by the way), it is pretty uncommon to hear Icelandic folksongs on Dutch television.

Today was a great day for just fooling around with a HDV camera… No script, no deeper meanings. Just cycling.

Two and a half years ago I wrote an article (has it been that long, time really flies) about the state and future of RSS. I thought it would be nice to revisit this article and delibrate on the next steps.

This is the last panorama from Iceland I have, made on my last weekend there, when it after some days of frost suddenly started snowing and the frozen-over lake Tjörnin (The Pond) in the center of Reykjavík became a big snowfield.

And yet another series of collected images which become a panoramic image when arranged in the right way… I can’t recall myself making so many of them :D But that’s alright, because panoramas are good.

When we were at Gullfoss, the golden waterfall in the river Hvítá (White River), I took a series of photos. They weren’t really intended as a panorama, but I could somewhat stitch them together like I did with the Jökulsárlón panorama.

Okee, ik heb toegegeven aan de sociale druk van m’n huisgenoten :P

I got a message that finally the draw for the places in the Kalmar study tour took place and that I was in fact drawn to join them.

Finally, after two years, I got my grade for the Visualization course today. Not that great, merely a seven, but well, it’s done.

Kleinur (sg. kleina) are a tasty type of Icelandic cookie. They’re deep fried, and have a taste reminiscent of grandmother’s apple pie without the apples. So basically they taste like cookie :-)
