Eclectic Impressions: juli 2008
http://bjurren.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Björn's adventures, love, struggle, dreams, passions and politics. This year I finally made it to Istanbul pride, and I am glad I did! The event was a great success: a happy celebration of the local community. Probably more than a celebration the pride was of great political value for the local community. Being visible in big numbers is still an important tool for showing the very existence of the community. Abonneren op: Berichten (Atom).

Eclectic Impressions: Example

Björn's adventures, love, struggle, dreams, passions and politics. Recently I have been a faithless blogger! Today however Pieter's blog. Inspired me to catch up again. I guess that the last six months generally can be charactarized by saying that I exchanged IGLYO for more personal-quality-in-life. I've been trying hard to work less, which slowly is paying-of. The traffic, the smell, the people, the weather: everything made me love the city. Abonneren op: Reacties plaatsen (Atom).

Björn's adventures, love, struggle, dreams, passions and politics. Afgelopen week kwamen enkele honderden activisten bijeen in Wenen op de conferenties van de LGBT koepelorganisatie ILGA. Meer dan 90 nationaliteiten kwamen bijeen in Wenen. Samen spraken we over de situaties in verschillende landen en hoe er beter kan worden samengewerkt. Hij is één van de weinige die wel ‘uit’ is.

Eclectic Impressions: Double loyalty
http://bjurren.blogspot.com/2008/06/double-loyalty.html
Björn's adventures, love, struggle, dreams, passions and politics. Well Mr. Hiddink, I think it's time for you to hand in your Dutch passport. After the victory of 'your' Russian team last night, it now is time to show where your loyalty stays.with Russia or with your home country! Apparently such policy would not apply for emigrants. Would native Dutch people be able to share their loyalty? Would school children need to sing the national anthem in their classes each day? It all makes me think of non-dem...

Eclectic Impressions: Kickstart
http://bjurren.blogspot.com/2008/01/kickstart.html
Björn's adventures, love, struggle, dreams, passions and politics. Last weekend the new IGLYO board visited Amsterdam for a handover board meeting. An amazing team - because they seemed still relax and happy after they discussed all the things coming up in the coming years! I'm happy that the meeting took place - becuase now they can start with the real work, and I can take more distance from the work. Those who read Dutch can follow our activities: http:/ www.publiek.coc.nl/weblog/.

Björn's adventures, love, struggle, dreams, passions and politics. Nabaztag is a digital bunny which you connects to the internet and reads out e-mail messages, weather forecasts, RSS-feeds and can serve as alarm. Nabaztag can move his ears, has various LEDs which light up if a new message arrives and speaks English and French. You just have to connect Nabaztag to your modem and.

Eclectic Impressions: IGLYO's new dream team
http://bjurren.blogspot.com/2007/12/iglyos-new-dream-team.html
Björn's adventures, love, struggle, dreams, passions and politics. IGLYO's new dream team. Back home I try to look back on the last week. Four years suddenly feel like four months, or four weeks. I'm parting from something that shaped me so much - I'm happy, sad and proud at the same time. And most important: a dream team was elected. I am confident that they will guide IGLYO further into its future. Augustus, Bruno, Claire, Ilke, Lucy, Nanna and Simon: wishing you good luck! IGLYOs new dream team.
