Today's paper bringing yesterdays news

Inspite of all the news paper bashing, I love reading the paper in the morning, preferably with a coffee and croissant. Newsblogs, twitter, sms is all great for the news of now, but it doesn't give information in a orderly, well-written and researched manner. At least, not in a way that is comfortable to read and to hold and to fold. Having said that, I aknowledge the following as well ;-)


Love the Fokke & Sukke cartoons in NRC Handelsblad and nrc.next (yes yes, real news PAPERs.

And love this item from the Daily Show:

General Assembly of food at the U.N.B.B.Q.

Helga decided to set things in motion and organised a public bbq. She counted on 10 people to come but that turned out to be some 20 people and a zillion kids :-)

We had a great time inaugurating the U.N.B.B.Q at the Open Source Amsterdam exhibition.
