Romantic gifts

Ananova: Forget flowers – hi-tech is a turn-on. “Lab tests have shown that when it comes to romantic gifts, partners prefer electronic gadgets to flowers. Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire used skin sensors to test the emotional response of volunteers who were given gifts. A DVD player registered the highest reaction while chocolates got the lowest.”

Email and Internet

My SpicyNoodles email address is not yet working again. Meanwhile, use uzsv0k@uni-bonn.de. Thanks!

Yesterday, our internet access was gone as well, hence no page flip. I got a lot of work done yesterday!

begijn klein: Amsterdam

On Sunday, André and I visited the Historisch Museum, spent some time at the Begijnhof, met Christopher, Frauke and Scott for a cup of coffee in the afternoon, walked around the city some more, and had dinner at a Thai restaurant before returning home. The photos are here.

For more photos, go visit PapaScott. This picture cracks me up…

No, wait, this one is even better! grins:

Amsterdam

Okay, the first bunch of photos are ready… I’ve divided them in two groups:

  • Saturday morning and afternoon: sightseeing in Amsterdam, and meeting some webloggers.
  • Scripting News / Weblogger dinner. With 14 photos.

    More photos from Sunday to come tomorrow!

    Community

    Al, I don’t think your patients want to see this photo of you…

    On the other hand, I think I would like to attend one of your cooking lectures!

    Oh, if I had known what a special day Saturday was, I would have gotten up ten minutes earlier to flip the page…

    A very happy 50th Birthday, Craig!!! Sounds like you had a wonderful day and celebration!

    Back home

    We’re back! Our train from Amsterdam was about half an hour late last night, but we made it home at around 11 pm. Although the weather could have been a little warmer, we spent two interesting days in Amsterdam, meeting quite a few people on Saturday at the dinner. More later, I haven’t uploaded the photos yet… For a first impression, go to Papa Scott, who took the most unusual means of transportation to Amsterdam.

    Oh, and Oliver Wrede from Cologne, Germany, posted bunch of photos last night.
