Ten fingers

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

2008 is the year of ten fingers. Soon you will have to leave all your ten fingerprints at the US immigration, not just your two index fingers (not thumb as the article states).

Not only that, but the data is now stored by the FBI, and used in criminal investigations, not just for immigration purposes. So by going to the states, your fingerprints automatically mingle with those of murderers and thieves.

I think the worst part is that people don’t seem to be complaining or taking this seriously. I fear the future. And here I thought I could have a nice, relaxing day, instead the world is going to hell. I should stop reading the paper.

At last, the pics from the USA

Thursday, March 3rd, 2005

You know I went to the USA a few months ago. Well I forgot the photos from that trip on the computer of our host in New York, and up until a few days ago I have been too busy or too lazy to call him and fix it.
He’s not very good with computers, and I loathed the idea of trying to arrange it.
In the end, it went easier then expected, and also completely differently. But that’s not important.

The important thing is that I finally have the pictures, and that means that YOU have them too!

Here they are. Oh, and there are videos too. Download the pics as a zip file here.
