U heeft ook kaarten besteld, en het verheugt mij u te kunnen melden dat uw kaarten vandaag op de post zijn gegaan. Dat betekent dat uw de kaarten uiterlijk dinsdag of woensdag in uw bezit hebt.
Ik verheug me erop u te mogen begroeten op donderdag 3 april!
Met vriendelijke groet,

Yes. The end is neigh. All websites that er to do are talking about only two things: Lindsay is using cocaine again, but fore all: BIRTNYE SPAERS will drop her new album soon. And boy. Will it Suck or What? Next week she’ll be lipsyncing her way through this slush, live, on the MTV awards. I say: down these songs and rehearse a lot, so you CAN JOIN HER!
More info and youtube links: here, here and here (and all other websites in the US, probably).

IFFR is nearly over. Yesterday I watched my last movie from the 15 I managed to grab this year (not that much compared to other enthousiasts mind!).
More than enough movies to manage to sit next to a whole lot of people who annoyed the crap out of me though!

Time for some awards. While most awards are about what people write or dumped on their sijt, there’s actually also some awards for their well trusted backbone/platform and online services which aren’t as much mentioned.
Well, yesterday for the first time the first Dutch web awards for the next wave of webservices and tools, aka web 2.0, were handed out: Web 2.0 awards.
The presentation was done in a very cozy and beautiful room. Even a mac on the toilet! I enjoyed the event, congratulate the winners and are looking forward to next years event. More photos and reviews here and here.
