hüsker dü

While the storm rages and the wind howls outside, I started digging into my record collection to stumble upon one of the pearls of 80’s hardcore : Hüsker Dü.
It was Candy Apple Grey (their 1986 album) that first introduced me to their music with songs like “Don’t Want to Know If You Are Lonely“.
This lead [...]

I also found out a way to change the adres for my flick account to a permanent one so now it’s www.flickr.com/photos/foo-fu/.

frist post^H^H^H^Hphoto

Inevitably I now created a flickr account to post my photos.
The camera in itself is quite intuitive and insofar as I could check at this time of day (night photography is not my best) the picture quality is good.
Anywho : here’s my flickr account and my 2 first photo’s.

toys for boys

Finally I got myself so far as to purchase a digital photo camera.
A bit to my surprise my requirements for the machine pushed the boundaries of the compact cameras :

a decent lens

Lithium-Ion batteries in stead of the dreaded AA batteries
USB connection and no proprietary [...]

no good deed

Following the outrage these last days when some bloggers announced microsoft gave them a shiny new laptop (apparently the new Acer Ferrari is the only machine apt to run vista at a decent speed) pre-packed with vista, it seems it’s now time for a big 180.
After Laughing Squid announced they would auction of the [...]

I took the opportunity of this in-between-holidays-period to go shopping for some furniture.
As we all know our favorite Swedish shopping giant offers nice stuff.
Although not intended for that purpose, I got myself a set of bathroom furniture (the MOLGER series) to serve as storage in my hallway.
Now I come to think of it, the bench [...]

daan live

Yesterday evening I went to see the sold out show of Daan.
Despite my lack of enthousiasm for his newest record ‘The Player’ all of the songs stand live.
As the Roma in itself is already an impressive hall (old cinema grandeur all over the place) with a good sound , this added to the overall atmosphere.

The interview appear tonight on Jonathan Ross’ show (‘Friday Night With Jonathan Ross’ on BBC One).
