Kasteelpark Born
We had a fun day out at Kasteelpark Born. Lots of animals and lots of playthings for the kids and we’re definitely going back there in spring or summer to see what it looks like all green.

Robots
Interesting expo at the Industrion in Kerkrade showing the history of robots. It was nice to see some examples up close, like the one from Metropolis or even the one from the Björk video.

Elevator buttons
You get into an elevator, someone presses a button to go to a certain floor, the button lights up. Another person looks at the button and presses the exact same one?! I’ve seen it happen so damn many times I’m beginning to think there’s something evil about elevator buttons that compels people to push them even when they don’t have to.
Either that or people are just idiots.

Every Simpsons couch opening
4 minutes and 50 seconds of high speed footage of every original couch moment they show at the start of each episode. Still one of the better cartoons.

Bonnefantenmuseum Maastricht
Interesting to see some of the old masters at the Bonnefantenmuseum, the modern art section was a bit of a let down by comparison.

Final Fantasy X
Miracles do happen. After years and years I’m finally playing a Final Fantasy game. It’s surprisingly fun to play it together, despite everything being quite linear. I don’t think I would call it an RPG so much as an adventure game, but it’s good fun either way.
Who knows, I might become an FF fan after all. ;)

Snow and sledding
Tried to get to work this morning, but after 30 minutes I was only 2 streets from home, and on the radio they said there was a 50 km traffic jam on the 65 km route to work… so I turned around and told the missus to get ready to go out in the snow. Bought a sled and off we went to the local pond which was frozen over and had some people skating on it. A lovely start of the year, I just hope it won’t get too bad with the snow this night.

First post of 2009
Still have to get used to the sound of that. Another year has flown by faster than a speeding bullet. Best wishes to all of you and lots of luck in all your endeavors this year.
May it be a happy one.
