I’m in Reykjavik again, rushed in to help out with Wikileaks’ ongoing projects. And yesterday we took a day off to see the eruption. All in all we were out of Reykjavik for over 12 hours, and we spent many of these hours making our way over a glacier in a monstrously big 4 wheel Click here for more… A friend of mine, Sandy Sandfort, writes the script for a science fiction web-comic that I read. So imagine you are me a couple of days ago, clicking the day’s link from my RSS-reader and then this pops up. As it turns out in my other life I am the “Celestial Mechanic” for a space Click here for more… As I slowly shake off the winter and re-enter communications mode I joined Facebook yesterday, after dramatically saying goodbye to all social networking two years ago. Two reasons. Facebook has developed into an indispensable tool for political awareness, mobilization and campaigning and I see people being very effective in reaching a lot of like-minded people Click here for more… Figuring what I needed was even less daylight, I visited Iceland in January. I was there for two weeks, but way too busy to see any of the sights. I played a small part in helping write a parliamentary proposal now called IMMI: the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative. The people of Iceland have been through Click here for more… Spring is here. Time to to catch up on some of the things I have been doing abroad, life here in The Netherlands and life in general. My own life has its ups and downs, and in winter I tend to experience the downs in full HD, 3D, Dolby surround. Of all the people I Click here for more… I’ve tweeted a bit the past few days, which marks pretty much the first time I’ve been tweeting. I’m in Copenhagen for the COP15 summit on climate change. I’m here with my camper van, supporting “The Stupid Show” (a 20 minute broadcast starting this Friday) as well as OneClimate‘s “Copenhagen Live 24/7″ live video stream Click here for more… As you may know the country I live in uses birthright to pick a head of state, which I strongly feel is decidedly outdated, silly and, well, wrong. As you also may know some mental case killed a bunch of people when the queen visited Apeldoorn this April when he drove his car into the Click here for more… This post is way late. For reasons nothing to do with HAR I wasn’t so much in a people-mood, which is unfortunate. But that didn’t stop me from taking in some really great sights and enjoying the atmosphere. HAR was impressive, and a great job done by all involved. It appears that routine searches of one’s home to check for a vast array of “problems” are now performed door-to-door in The Netherlands. The city of The Hague is inspecting all homes in a number of neighborhoods. One resident, that apparently told these people to bugger off at a previous occasion, got a threatening letter.

It looks as if there’s extra reason to celebrate my birthday this year: ctime passes 1234567890 right as the party gets going. clusterfuck:~$ date -r 1234567890 Life’s little coincidences… I know, this post is a little late… Let’s just say winter is not my season. As many of you have heard by now, the grand hacker event saga is indeed continuing. The event is called HAR 2009, will happen August 13-16 in The Netherlands and I wrote a little paragraph for the HAR2009 website weeks Click here for more… Dear friends, Lots of people have heard by now, so I might as well make it official. I will not take part in organizing the next large hacker event that was scheduled to take place somewhere in Germany in 2009.
