6 hours, 3 movies and 1 screaming kid

I watched 'Mission Impossible 3' then '16 blocks' and finally 'Firewall'. MI3 was actually better then I expected. '16 Blocks' was kind of ok and I had such low expectations for 'Firewall' that that one much better than I expected too. Just next to me were a german couple with a screaming kid.

It might have been smarter to not plan anything today and...

Follow-up on Social Networking post

Some interesting things have happened since I wrote a post titled "the end of social networking". I mentioned OpenBC which changed its name to Pink Ming Dinq Zinc Zinq which made a lot of People search for blogs about OpenBC which means I received a reasonable ammount of traffic during the weekend. Then I received a seemingly harmless message from a good friend asking me to sign-up for the Cross Media Conference Network. I'm not in The Netherlands during the conference but I figured it would...
