This is where history could’ve been made. Less than two weeks ago Secretary of State John Kerry met Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to talk about the Ukraine crisis. At that time, Crimea still belonged to Ukraine and Kerry tried to prevent an annexation (yes, he failed). Somehow I’m always interested in where such (potentially historic) meetings take place. I knew they met in London and discovered this great photograph. The official residence of the US ambassador to the United Kingdom. This camera...

Category : OneMinute videos. The Inauguration of Barack Obama. On January 20th 2009, two million people, including myself, were in Washington DC to witness one of the most historic US presidential inaugurations ever… The inauguration of Barack Obama. Since it’s been four years, I’ve been thinking about what to write about this truly historic event. Truth to be told, I don’t know. Maybe a story about the great ‘We Are One’. Concert of Bono, Bruce Springsteen and other celebrities will do? Which leaves us ...

Today, especially today, I try to think of the alternative. What if the Americans decided not to help us? After all, it’s not their continent and it’s not them who neglected their armies for way too long (allowing the Germans to easily conquer the entire continent). But the Americans did help us, the rest is history. I wish we’d think of this more often…. You might also like:. Main Stage @ Square 2011. Start off with a bang. June 6, 2014. Hi, I'm Benjamin.

The end of organised sports. What sport did you do when you were a kid? I bet you quit doing this by the age of 18 (probably even earlier). Whatever the reason, you’re not alone. In the Netherlands 80 percent of all kids quit organised sports by the time they turn 18. In the United States the situation is even worse. A staggering 70 percent of all kids quit by the time they turn 13 (! Visit iTunes. Watch a movie? Launch Netflix. Interact with people? Use Facebook. Check out the news? To meet other people?

This is what my desktop looks like. No, I won’t show you the apps I’m running nor am I willing to show the (sometimes) many icons that clutter my Macbook’s desktop. Instead I’d like to share the wallpapers I get to see every day. A friend and I both have a Macbook Pro. And we both use three desktops. Every week he picks a theme -this week it’s Hawaii- and searches the Internet for beautiful imagery. Yep, I know, it doesn’t sound inspiring, but it actually is. Check out my wallpapers below. The wall on th...

It’s an iconic symbol of London and one of my favourite buildings. London’s Gherkin, designed by Lord Norman Foster. Last week I visited London so I had to check out the Gherkin… again. Since I love this building I visit the Gherkin every time I visit London. And every time I take many, perhaps too many pictures. This years winner is the photo pictured above. March 11, 2016. This is what my desktop looks like. A friend and I both have a Macbook Pro. And we both use three desktops. This is the wall (and c...
