Here's a genius error message (in Dutch) iTunes threw at me yesterday:

Which comes down to:

iTunes didn't make a backup, because making the backup failed.

Thanks, that really explains a lot.

When we visited Tanzania last summer, my girlfriend had us pack some used laptops and HD videocamera's for schools in Kenia and Uganda as part of an ongoing project. Last week we recieved some pictures from both schools, showing the students and teachers "getting acquainted" with the new technology. And obviously using it, or we wouldn't have received anything. It's heartwarming. 

For Mike Row fans this is probably a very recognizable image:

An article found in some local newspaper, telling about the pumping station getting cleaned... Indeed: just like Mike got to "enjoy" in the Septic Tank Technician episode. I can still hear him cry out: "We're in the toilet!"

While waiting for a friend to go have some dinner. These moments are so precious and enjoyable.

Want denk maar niet dat het met de Nederlanders beter gesteld is dan de Engelstalige Google gebruikers... :P

Sometime's you just bump into these little pieces of excellence. It's really revealing what people search for at Google.

Also: scary

Google Chrome Abri's are starting to show up here in the Netherlands lately, and in all their innocence give a great insight in what we use our browser (and the internet in general) for, especially form privacy's point of view.

Obviously a search query for strained hamstring and a session on pancakes are examples of lesser embarrassing (medical) queries we fire away during our information-cravings and probably carefully selected attractive scenario's to make sure we don't realize how easy it would be to build personal profiles based on our various bits of internet usage.

Very interesting still, to see how a story can be deducted from various internet queries and vice versa.
