I have to go to Eindhoven ... by train

I live in The Netherlands and I didn't know of the Silly Walks Tunnel in the pedestrian underpass near the Eindhoven Central Train Station. Shame on me.

'A Band Of Thieves' by Fidel Ruiz-Healy

The short film 'A Band Of Thieves' by Fidel Ruiz-Healy got a lot of awards in 2015.

"The story of a young, western-obsessed girl hell-bent on turning her quiet Texas suburb into the lawless playground of her imagination."

I love the cinematography.

Repetitive Arnie

This made me smile. Arnold Schwarzenegger repeating himself in various movies.

The ultimate phone security

A comic by xkcd about phone security :)

Peter Gabriel in German??!! I didn't know

I didn't know Peter Gabriel did an album in German. Even with my favorite song on it 'Here comes the flood' or better 'Jetzt Kommt Die Flut'.

A combination of Heritage, Sustainability and Economics - Dutch royalty vs Palace Soestdijk

Hey, I have a good idea. This year Paleis Soestdijk (our royal palace) has been sold to become a hotel. On the other hand a lot of money has been spend to fix another new palace. Now here's my new idea: Keep Paleis Soestdijk. I know, you have to be very smart to come up with. Which I am of course.

Protection of Heritage (very popular nowadays):

The 'defilee' on Paleis Soestdijk was something that almost everyone watched on television. THE people (pre-selected of course) could walk past Paleis Soestdijk while the whole family was standing in front of the door. How awesome.

Sustainability (also very popular nowadays):

You don't have to spend a lot of materials to fix a new palace. And what happens when we have the new queen? Another new palace? More materials?

Economics (always popular):

You don't have to spend a lot of money to fix a new palace. And what happens when we have the new queen? Another new palace? More money?

It's just an idea from just a subject of the Kingdom of The Netherlands. But I guess this would gain the royalty's some popularity (also very popular nowadays).
You can always say: We have to go along with the modern times! We have to break traditions! I'm the first to agree and activily do this. But hey, we're talking about Royalty ... how traditional is that!
