I've said it before but let me say it again..

For as long as Adobe's Air is around I have been (trying) to play with it.  It shows a lot of promise and could tackle a lot of browser specific problems we encounter here in the office and with our customers.

Unfortunately Air suffers from one, but very major design flaw. One needs to have administrative rights or you can't install an air application. That's just plain bad thinking Adobe!  I am quite convinced that this alone has still kept my company from embracing Air, simply because most developers can't be bothered to have an administrator come over each time they want to check out an Air app. so they can see what it's all about.

Truly a shame and a missed opportunity.

So last night president Obama claimed it was the USA who invented the car:

"..the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it..."

A late sunday night.  Just playing around with some photo's I took earlier that day. And in the background the media center tuned to a Digitally Imported web stream.
Easy going progressive trance.  To be more exact: Max Ruby's Summer Sessions 2008.

A Dutch news website had the best headline I have seen in ages. 

'Naked man carrying raw trout bites shoe sales man in arm'

hahaha.. Sounds too good to be true huh!
But it has really happened somewhere in the south of the Netherlands. Apparently the man in question walked into a shoe store wearing nothing more then a hat and a pair of shoes. In his hand he was holding an uncooked trout from which he took a bite every now and then. Some security guys with the help of the sales guy  wrestled him to the ground because he refused to leave.  The trout eater was not amused and bit the shoe expert in his arm until it bled.

It turned out the trout man, who arrived on a bike, had escaped from a mental institution  earlier that day.
