At the moment a TV production is being filmed of Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea novels, one of my fantasy favourits. See this Earthsea website for details.

During my trip to Cuba last month, I noticed a video clip being played very often on Cuban TV. I do not speak Spanish, but the video was clear enough to make it's anti-Bush and anti-Iraq war message clear.
I am not a fan of both George W. and the USA involvement in Iraq, but this video is much too one sided to be taken seriously. However, as counterweigth to the Republican National Convention pro-Bush propaganda, it might be interesting to watch.

August 12th-26th I travelled in Cuba enjoying my holiday. The photo's of this trip are now online.
Unfortunately one of my two memory cards broke down during transfer of the photo's from my camera to my PC, so only photo's of the second part of the trip are online.

Again an upgrade of the weblog software. As always I appreciate bug reports, errors and/or comments.

Next to my online music collection (see next item), also my book collection is now database driven.
Build using the same software, but now using Collectorz.com Book Collector.

Finally I have made a database driven solution for my online music collection instead of the old, hard to maintain and non-searchable static HTML pages.
The music collection is now fully searchable and more flexible.
I have build this PHP solution with the following software:

• Collectorz.com Music Collector
• MySQL Front
• PHP Maker

My book collection will follow soon!

This website features a very strange world map, or as the author explains:

'This is a project visualizing the world map which many fools in the world imagine.
If you can see this map comfortably, you are definitely a fool.

One day, a Texan asked me a question when I lived in U.S..

The question was "How many hours does it take to go to Japan by car?". (true story)

He didn't know where Japan is, and even bofore that, he didn't know that Japan is an island.
And then, I thought. "What kind of world map is pictured in his mind?"

This was a beginning to think that it might be fun to gather those mixed up recognitions of countries and visualize it as a world map imagined by the fools in the world.'
