It’s been quite some time since I wrote something about food safety, but unfortunately that doesn’t mean that the situation is now good. No later than last week, the largest meat recall in US history has been ordered. The story comes from the US, but I wouldn’t be confident about Europe being free of wrongdoings…

It’s the old story about making more money, no matter what… But why are these companies allowed to do it again and again? What about shutting them down for good, and sending CEOs and whole boards to Guantanamo?

I like listening to the radio, and as I work all day on a computer I sometimes listen to Internet broadcasting radios. More another time on my favourite ones… the interesting thing is that I get exposed to music I wouldn’t hear in my country.

From time to time something really interesting comes by, and that’s how I discovered Anna Ternheim. Just got hypnotised by two of her songs…

In the last months we saw celebrations for the 25th Anniversary of first Commodore 64. It has been successful, no doubt about that.

But what about Commodore VIC-20? Did you know it was used in Star Trek by Captain Kirk? ;-)
