Obama travels to Iran to meet Hassan Rohani. After this visit a video is published on the website of Hassan Rohani: "New Journey".

Remember "Yes We Can"? The Will.I.Am video to promote Obama. Watch both. Coincidence?

Can you imagine Obama having tea with Rohani telling him to create a video like Will.I.Am to promote himself. Showing the video on his iPad, sending Rohani the YouTube link. If of course YouTube is allowed in Iran. Probably only for the few.

To freshen up your memory:

Better ... But Still Not Perfect

This is the Adorne Pop-Out Outlet. Much better than the ones we have now worldwide. Still visible, so not perfect.

Your Car As A Turntable

Driving music reinvented by Volkswagen (GTI) and Underworld. It synchronises your driving and the music via an app. It's cool, but I don't know if it's that safe.

Auto Aerobics

It's Time To Change

Very cool commercial. Good initiative

"GoldieBlox, a women-led toy company, released a commercial online Sunday meant to inspire young girls and challenge gender stereotypes around engineering. Less than a week later, over 7 million people have watched it on YouTube and the ad has taken mainstream media by storm."

Move Tha Crib

Yep ... made the decision. Real estate guy came to visit this morning. I'm going back to Amsterdam!

A bit like this, but less dramatic. Lucifer with House For Sale. Watch the drummer, the Dutch celebrity Henny Huisman.

Guitar Solo's

My 15y old daughter just came home from an event at school called 'Open Podium', she voted for the band who did the Guns N Roses song Sweet Child O' Mine because of the guitar.

So I showed her:

Slash in the desert:

The Edge in Love Is Blindness:

... and ofcourse Prince's guitar solo in Purple Rain:

and last but not least everything by John Frusciante ...

Jack Vale's Social Media Experiment

Jack Vale grabbed info from different social media like Twitter, Instagram ... Relatively easy to do, but definitely do-able. People don't realize this is possible, they were freaking out. Think about what and why and when you post people. (pfff this is tiresom)

Epic Rap Battles of History, this time Bob Ross vs Pabo Picasso.

ThisPlusThat.me

Touch The Screen

A Life Size Messi for EA Sports' Fifa 14. Takes long to load, it's as life size as yourself. The eyes are creepy though. And if loaded, not much happens. But nicely done.
