In the beautiful vanue of the Waag in Amsterdam, the conference “promises of ambient intelligence’ took place. Triple-soldout, I was glad to have bought a ticket on time. In a speedy tempo, the speakers were asked to explain their vision, promises and pitfalls on ambient intelligence. See link for more info on keynote speakers and comments.

the third or fourth time already that known and upcoming indie-rockbands present themselves on an LP. This time the venue was the EKKO in utrecht, where The Bullfight and LPG and Sennen did their thing.Sennen was great to hear, with postrock-soundscape songs that last for 15 minutes or more… dreamy.
LPG was also a band I enioyed quite much, due to their musical variety (from rock, to sing-along to even close-harmony)
Great way to spend your thursday-evening…

A two-days sports-offensive: bicycling through Brabant in wind and rain. Luckily, my iPod survived…
I discovered that even this ugly part of Holland has some sweet spots (if you look hard enough…)
