This will work in the Dutch snow as well as in the Seattle snow …  ;-)

I always have some of those zip ties in my velomobile and only my rear tire will need some of them …..

When a dog licks his nose …

… he is feeling uncomfortable! It is a clear sign for other dogs, but we humans don’t seem to understand it. We probably think that dogs are using their tongue as a handkerchief ….

And when “strangers” are coming too close, any dog will react like we would when a complete stranger is trying to give us a “French kiss” …

Dogs are as dangourous as the bread-knife in our kitchen cabinet. Unfortunately some people never learn and have to be protected from dogs.

This is one of the reasons why, as an atheist or non-theist, staying silent halts or significantly slows scientific progress. Obviously there is no way I could explain why better than Neil deGrasse Tyson, an American astrophysicist and Director of the Hayden Planetarium.

Chris and his skills …

Posted on February 11, 2012 | Leave a comment

Always nice to follow other blogs. Chris Luxembourg is still busy to realize his amazing dreams. The first is an old video he made a few years back …

But this winter he made the next one …  He writes;

“The finished vehicle I called Lowracer Hybrid Speedbike.  By law it’s a like an electric bike, but the size is more like a little car. “

I admire his craftmanship and wondered if it is simple to make everything yourself …   he answered ; “Of course it’s simple, you only need a few skills!”

We need more guys like him …

Somehow the music in his videos seem to fit with the images, although I like the classic rock more  ;-)
