Last week I popped over to The Netherlands to visit colleagues, tackle a few ideas, and do another one of those odd touristic things that I seem to find, in this case visit the Euro-bridges.
The 5€ facade on the Bridges of the Eurozone.
Hello 10€ Bridge!
Back when the Euro was being […]
Nobody was injured.

Imagine living on a canal in Amsterdam…

I’ve had a really great trip to Rotterdam, so far.
Thursday was a productive, albeit lonely, day at the Rotterdam Office; dinner was with some really great people and lasted late into the evening.
Friday was a bit less productive—I was sluggish getting out of bed and to the office—and at […]
Everybody must prove payment, even the white furry thing…

When I get to my real office, I am usually the second or third person there—usually at about 8:30
Today at the Rotterdam Office, I got there at 9:15 and I was the first person there. I was also the only person there, other than the secretary who gave me a key […]
So I am back in Weimar. Glad to be home—even if it is my new home.
Unfortunately I made a mistake Saturday—not that I could have predicted it, but I had lunch at a café/restaurant that I’d never been to, and if I am not mistaken, I got food poisoning from it. I should have […]
Seen in Rotterdam!
Ultimately I decided upon two Photo Contest winners: Ian in Hamburg for his “clean” responses of “Christmas Tree” and “Buttplug”, and Jul for the more accurate responses of “Buttplug” and “Buttplug.”
After taking the photo, I sent a link of it to one of my Dutch friends who doesn’t live in […]
Some how it is Thursday afternoon—and to be honest, I’m not quite sure how it happened. Last I checked, it was Monday, I was in Hannover, and I was getting on a train to Rotterdam.
Overall I’ve had a productive week here in Rotterdam—I haven’t made enough progress on some concrete projects that need to […]
Today I found this large statue of what appears to be Santa Claus in Rotterdam. Clearly he’s holding a bell in one of his hands.
You will win a fabulous prize (I’ll mail you a congratulatory postcard from Rotterdam) if you can:
Tell me what Santa is holding up with his other hand; and Tell […]
I’m about to leave for Hannover–my first time in the city, save for a train connection (maybe two) in the past. After Hannover, I’ll be off to Rotterdam.
The new apartment is essentially unpacked, although I do have a few issues:
I learned Saturday morning that the lowest point of the building’s laundry room is […]
