Wow, nice game this evening. I think the Dutch team played pretty well against Italy tonight. With 3 - 0 as the result for the first game we have a pretty nice start for this European Championship, don't you think so? Let's go!

X-Files movie sequel coming!

I didn't hear about it yet here in The Netherlands, but I just saw there is a sequel to the X-Files movie coming up! There's already some info in IMDB.com.
Most important information to me is that both David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are on board for this sequel. And Skinner will still be played by Mitch Pileggi. I'm sure this will ensure the true X-Files vibe for this movie. Amanda Peet and Xzibit will be playing in the movie too. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

It is supposed to hit the theaters July 25th of this year.

Blu-Ray coming to the Xbox 360?

I'm not entirely sure about the article on Digitimes. One of the reasons is because it was posted on April first. Another reason is the way it is written. But if it turns out to be true, I'm going to have to get a Blu-Ray player for my Xbox 360... ;)

A quote from the article:

Lite-On IT is developing built-in Blu-ray Disc-(BD) ROM drives for the Microsoft Xbox 360 game console, according to industry sources. Lite-On declined to comment, citing client confidentiality.
Lite-On's shipments of the BD ROMs to Microsoft will start in the second half of 2008, the sources added. Lite-On is currently one of the suppliers of Xbox 360-use internal DVD-ROM drives.

Read the entire article over here (you be the judge...): Lite-On developing BD-ROM drives for Xbox 360, sources say

Back from Austria

We've been in Austria the last week, on a school-ski-camp. And I got to go with them as an external help!

The weather was good. So good, the snow didn't exactly hold it to the end of the day sometimes. But luckily the people that prepared the ski course knew what they were doing, and fixed it every night for us to ski on it the next day.

I had a blast, and the kids, the teachers and the Huski people were all great!

Thanks for a great week you guys ;)

Enjoying the holidays

Hi there,

Are you enjoying the holidays? I know I am...! I finished Call of Duty 4 (again, thanks for that one) and enjoyed Christmas eve and Christmas day with our families. And today, boxing day, I haven't done anything. Nice... ;)

Enjoy the next few days, the last ones of 2007. And let's make the best of 2008!
