The links are updated every hour, and compose everytime a different shoe model which changes in the color palette according to the content linked.

The top ten worst URL titles

A friend of mine sent this to me.

The top 10 unintentionally worst company URL
Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s
world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks.:

1. A site called ‘Who Represents’ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name is ...
www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at
www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always
www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their
whacky website:

A fun weekend of workouts

I ended up getting quite a few workouts in this weekend with a lot of time on the bike and a couple hours of running. But what stuck out most were intolerant locals.
During saturday's run a golfer threatened us "to shoot a golfball at us", and on Sunday during the ride someone thew a soda bottle at us, someone else yelled "pussy" and another person yelled "get off the road."

Nice.

Are these intolerant people allowed to vote? Well, George got elected somehow.

A new adventure

I am getting into a new adventure, but what might seem very scary for some, can of course also be looked at as an opportunity for something great.

Here is the logo of my new guerrilla and viral marketing company:




I'll be my own boss, wow. :-)

The Guerrilla Communication site will be ready soon.

Bike racing in Belgium

This weekend I was supporting our DFL-Cyclingnews-Litespeed team at the famous Het Volk bike race and it was an amazing experience. The fans following the sport are very enthusiastic and know quite a bit about the sport and the riders. The weather wasn't so great, but lots of fans turned out anyway to cheer on the riders. The pic below shows me at the Eikenberg waiting for the peloton to arrive and meanwhile enjoying a Belgian bratwurst for lunch. :-)

Gent is stunning

I have been very busy with a business trip the last 10 days and was thus not able to blog that much. But I got to see and experience all kinds of interesting places and foods. One place that really stuck out is Gent, it is a very attractive town.
