Morgen is het na maanden training eindelijk zover, ik ga morgen de Alpe d’HuZes beklimmen voor KWF Kankerbestrijding!

Het Alpe d’HuZes evenement en ik zijn morgen te volgen op http://live.opgevenisgeenoptie.nl of via de iphone app ben ik op te zoeken (Vincent Barnhard startnummer 1936). Mocht je anderen nog willen attenderen op mijn actie pagina dan hierbij de link naar de pagina.

Tevens ben ik te volgen op een aantal sociale media: Facebook, Twitter en Linkedin. Mocht je nog niet gedoneerd hebben doe dat dan eens heel snel

Ik heb er tot slot heel erg veel zin in. Vandaag was al super toen Alpe d’HuZus de berg beklom, mijn vriendin kreeg ook de kriebels en heeft lopend de voor mij te kraken tijd van 2 uur en 25 min gezet (foto). Al met al Steent de sfeer de frituurpan uit en wordt het morgen onvergetelijk. Ik raad dan ook aan om allemaal Knooppunt Kranenburg te volgen en ’s avonds op de NCRV te kijken naar de samenvatting tussen 19:00 en 20:00 uur.

Meer informatie e.d. dus op http://live.opgevenisgeenoptie.nl

Groeten,

3 voor 12 has put up a nice Roadburn luisterpaal and Roadburn festival site has put up some hour of koel voetage from last year’s festival! A thing I would call a zweerimpressie.

And see you all on sunday at the official 0chblog Roadburn borrel!

VBS travels to West Africa to rummage through the messy remains of a country ravaged by 14(!) years of civil war. Despite the United Nation’s eventual intervention, most of Liberia’s young people continue to live in abject poverty, surrounded by filth, drug addiction, and teenage prostitution. The former child soldiers who were forced into war have been left to fend for themselves, the murderous warlords who once led them in cannibalistic rampages have taken up as so-called community leaders, and new militias are lying in wait for the opportunity to reclaim their country from a government they rightly mistrust. America’s one and only foray into African colonialism is keeping a very uneasy peace indeed. In Part 1, Vice’s own Shane Smith provides a brief history lesson and some essential context for understanding what caused Liberia’s civil war and how things got so bad. Liberia was originally planned and founded as a homeland for former slaves back in 1821. But fast forward a bunch of years and a military coup and you find the First Liberian Civil War in 1989: yet another third-world regime change in which the US-backed opposition, led by Charles Taylor, overthrows a government unfriendly to US interests. Once in power, Taylor’s corrupt, dysfunctional government quickly finds itself under attack by local warlords, leading to the Second Liberian Civil War ten years later. From there things go from bad to total shit.

Since Och has been on bikes and boats, I thought we just needed the air too. Turns out, I by chance got the opportunity to fly with the kind people of Kammair. They offered a trip over the harbor (the second maas grounds) and over the city. Sounds good.
Howevah, the flight initially didn’t seem to going take place. It was almost three times canceled: Once because of internal affairs, second because of carnaval (too wasted) and almost third because ..the other passengers were too heavy. Just when you thought the fat air-tax was avoided. However, Kammair offered an earlier flight and free extra passengers! Meanwhile the sun came up and the sky turned blue and we were off for 45 minutes of air:

Of course are the photos in better quality also on flickr (selection of just the bulk of photos we took). Enjoy!

Als je denkt alle goede series te hebben gezien komt gelukkig Carnivale op je pad. Deadw00t en The Wire waren natuurlijk al fantastische HBO series, deze voegt zich comfortabel in het rijtje.
Een beetje de sfeer van The Kingdom en Twin Peaks (vooral omdat die dwerg meedoet) gekruisd met Deadw00t.
Lijkt me voldoende aanbeveling om het eens te checken.

Downen maar!

This weekend you can sit down for an eclectic and nice story. Nina Paley intertwines her own pinkbird broken heart story with the ancient stories of the Rmayana, the habit of debating the true versions of it and the beautiful smartful songs of 1920’s jazz vocalist Annette Hanshaw -”cheeks like peaches and a voice of honey“.

Completely animated in different styles matching the storylines, this is one mesmerizing and well done love therapy. The present-day break up of animator Nina finds connects flawless with the story of Sita, a goddess separated from her Lord and husband Rama, all bound together by the heart yearnings of Anette Hanshaw.
Cartoonist Paley wants to release the animation 100% DRM-free, but in order to do so, she has to raise $50,000 to pay the holders of some of the musical compositions used in the film. So if you want to download a high definition version of Sita sings the blues, you can give a donation via Channel Thirteen, where you can see the movie in small screen too. If you want, you can even order a DVD-packaging. Plain donation support for the free release of this film can be made thru here, that is, if you want the googles to have your credit card info. Alas, I couldn’t find a Paypal donation possibility.

Bring the lassi and papadums and enjoy!

Sja, wat moet je erover zeggen; It’s grim up north!
Gewoon een erg goede film. Lekker gewelddadig (sleutelwoord: FUNCTIONEEL, meneer Gibson). Goed geakteerd. Vergeet niet de subs erbij te downen anders is het geen doen, dat noord-engelse accent.

MUTO, Wall painted animations. Check ook de site van de maker, BLU, waar het filmpje te downloaden is (maar waarom zou je?).

This is a relatively obscure flick featuring (now famous) Al Pacino and Gene Hackman who (forced by Destiny) set out on a roadtrip across teh You Ass of A together, trying to open a carwash.

Lovely opening scene (teaser, joetupe)

Asleep somewhere between Derry and Salem, N.H., 1/6/2008. With three rallies down and two more to go, Obama catches a quick nap on his campaign bus as it headed for Salem. I once asked him when we were traveling through Illinois and he was about to fall asleep, if he cared if I took a picture. He said I was fine photographing him until his jaw dropped. This night his jaw dropped after I took three frames. [view all here | via]

After seeing this vlog, dropped by Betsy in the BSC, I thought we can do better! So on August the 2ed we went to my wreak / boat and shot the first ‘Das Och Boot’ vlog with special quest Choco at the helm.

In the vlog I paid tribute to all the men who helped to save the ship from further decay.

Please note:
It doesn’t matter if you can’t sail as long as you are an Ocher or a friend of Och, then you’re welcome to join me some day.
