Oliebollen / from Munchcast 70 - or how to make fun of a Dutch tradition...
My contribution to Munchcast episode 70 with Traditional New-years Food; Oliebollen.
Oliebollen by NetPierre
Originally, oliebollen (oil balls) are a Dutch New-years snack. They are made of dough, raisins, and various optional ingredients like ginger and apple.
Oliebollen are best eaten warm, preferably with some powder-sugar.
( audio clip recorded on december 20,2009 from the TWiT Network / thanks Leo for making fun of our tradition ;) and for the shoutout at the end. (...and the excellent pronunciation of my name)
...listen to the audio fragment ( only 1 minute and 37 seconds )...
Happy New Year in Advance!

My personal Top 5 albums of 2009
The year 2009 is almost over, so.... time for making lists!
As every year i made my own personal list of best albums released this year,
but this year was a difficult choice.
IMHO not one 'classic album' was made last year, unlike in 2008.
( - Last year's Last Shadow Puppets album was perhaps even the best album of the decade, and albums of The Faint and Grace Jones are still on my personal playlist )
This list is based on my personal favourite albums, albums with the most tracks with 5 stars ended higher on my top-5
It has become a strange list this year with a lot of danceable stuff in it... and i like it!
1 The Juan Maclean - The Future will Come
..as a bonus i advise you to check their website and 21+ minutes live-performance of 'Happy House" that they did earlier this year in Chicago.
2 Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
3 Muse - The Resistance
4 Moderat - Moderat
5 Calvin Harris - Ready for the Weekend
> 3 artists that almost (but didn't) made it to this list ( in random order ):
Friendly Fires / Jesse Rose / Editors ....too bad for them, but great albums anyway <
Like i said, it's not your average list, perhaps bands you have never heard of.
Check them out, and let me know what you think in the comments.
UPDATE December 11: Here's the winners' reply:

New Serné Schilderwerken site online

It took me almost 3 years to decide how i would do it, but it is finally there; My new company Website.
The site is IMO much better. It is in a blog-style so i can easily update it whenever i want. The plan for now is to update it at least every season with new info, pictures and more.
please take a look here : www.SerneSchilderwerken.nl

My mobile Evolution... from Philips Diga to HTC Magic
Last week i got my 4th mobile phone, a HTC Magic running Android 1.5
I am very satisfied with it, it's a very good choice so far. Finally all the functions i need in a phone work... and all at the same time... ;)
Favorite apps so far are; Layar (augmented reality),Google Listen (for audiopodcasts), the Twitter application TwiDroid and the game Abduction!
More info later...

A new lock-keeper in town
Today starts my holiday-job as a lock-keeper / lock-operator.
Officially it's my parents' job, but whenever they have a holiday, i take over this job. The lock is situated in Woerdense Verlaat, the Netherlands.
Readers of this blog are welcome for a visit or so...
Opening hours are from 9 in the morning until 8 in the evening.
I'm hoping for nice weather the next three weeks.
