What started out as a torture device invented for the US army turned out to be an interesting application for horn instruments, mostly used in jazz in the 60’s & 70’s. Saxophonists played with these electronics with mixed results, but other horn players didn’t use the technology.

Vandaag in Och’s postvak-in:
Today is the first day of Apple’s WWDC, held in San Francisco van Jole. And the WWDC kicks off, traditionally, with a keynote presented by Steve Jobs.
Now it’s funny to go into a little retrospective. Let’s go way back to 2001 where guru Jobs on a keynote on october 23rd presents the first iPod. Simultaniously the first reactions on iPod by Mac adepts appeard online…

Coming pinxter monday i will be riding the Elfstedentocht. I won’t be skating the ice between the eleven Friesian cities however. And i’ll leave my bicycle at home. I am going to ride this tocht der tochten on a motorcycle. It’s supposed to be one big traffic jam, but there’s only one way to find out.
While I will be destroying a perfectly good clutch, you guys might take the time to check out some motorcycle history.
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.
