My Favorite Dentist

I discovered a good article about pointers in Delphi here. It's nice written, clear and not just for dummies. I wish he was my dentist.

Heartshaped Cloud

Today was a beautiful day. On my way to work, I looked up in the sky and I saw a heartshaped cloud.
Tagged it, just in case.

Of course I'm not the only one that has even seen a heartshaped cloud, just take a look at the last picture on this post or take a look at Google Images.

Without getting sentimental, I just wanted to give it some love back with this post.

The Upside Of Down

When I walked nearby Spuiplein (Spui Square, in the centre of The Hague, The Netherlands) a few days ago, I noticed a bunch of huge pictures of little infants standing in a circle. When I looked closer to those pictures, I saw it were little children with Down Syndrome (wiki).


This exhibition has been initiated after the release of a photo album called The Upside Of Down of photographer Eva Snoijink. It intended to let passengers enjoy the simplicity and beauty of the photographs and to give a more realistic view of Down Syndrome. It has to lead to more understanding and acceptance for children and people with Down Syndrome eventually.



Since I loved this idea, I blogged this post to give the rest of the world a glimpse of this exhibition.

Every picture has a few lines saying something about the child from the parents. At first this just looks very sweet, but I guess you can also see it as a way to stress the fact that even though they may look the same, children of Down Syndrome are really individuals with they're own unique identity.

You can enjoy these pictures on Spuiplein until August 10th.

For more pictures, take a look at the blog of Madbello: part 1, part 2 and part 3

Drag Me To Hell

I've seen the movie Drag Me To Hell in the theater yesterday. It's directed by Sam Raimi, probably better known for the Spiderman movies and Dead Evil. I liked the story and suspension through the whole movie. Some scenes are unnecessary gross, but it remains highly recommended if you're into scary movies! Watch the trailer at YouTube here.
