Mamma Mia! Why did I ever let you go....



Well, I did not go and see "The Dark Knight" at the weekend. Instead I saw "Mamma Mia".

And now I can't get those ABBA songs out of my head.   Walking in the office today (yes, second week there!)  humming Mamma Mia.   Lots of fun looks.  

Anyway, it's a good movie.  Tongue in cheek, fun and some brief appearances from some of ABBA too!

iPhone apps : Photo fun with Mr Shuffle

I've played just a little bit with the new iPhone apps on my old iPhone.. Some really good ones, including AOL Radio.

One that is fun with photos is "Mr Shuffle". This adds fun images to photos, as in the picture below that you can then share. 

 

What else do you like?

I have not seen this before (where have I been!), but this is an interesting site that allows startups to pitch - in 60 seconds or less - the startup idea.

Online Privacy : The debate heats up [Newshour report]


On tonight's News Hour, a special report on Online Privacy.  Companies like Facebook, Google and Yahoo were at Congress today to discuss the concern of cookies being used for tracking purposes.   Interesting debate, that could shape further laws down the road.

"Jeffrey Brown speaks with guests about whether individuals should have a right to control what information companies store about their Web-surfing habits."

Listen to the debate here.

What do points make? Prizes

Stumbling around after such an odd day (see previous post), I found this video of Bruce Forsyth and a show from the 1980s named "Play Your Cards Right".

The grand prize is funny to view - it's a brand new car. But it's so small...   I guess I am used too the USA now :-)




Yes, this is an oddpost, but this was a primetime show from the UK. We had 4 channels you know, back then!

In Memory: Leo Pot

Today is one of those days that feels "empty" or "numb".    I attended a funeral for Leo Pot, who died on July 4th from Cancer.     Such a nice man, very successful with his businesses, and a great family.  Funny, sharp, witty. 

 He shared a glass of wine or two with me, and gave me thoughts on life after leaving my last job.    More important, he has a wonderful family.    It's hard seeing his 3 young daughters at the funeral, each dealing with grief. 

Live each day to the fullest.  Make sure you get the most out of what you do, and spend time with people you care about.

Rest in peace, Leo.  





"On July 4, 2008 Leonardus Leo Josephus Pot, loving father and doting husband, left his earthly existence peacefully, at home, in the company of his family.

Born in the fall of 1956 in Oegstgeest, The Netherlands to Martin and Joanne Pot, he would go on to complete a Bachelor's degree in Business at Nyenrode University in the Netherlands. He would receive his Masters degree also in Business at Temple University in Philadelphia. As his career progressed, he would eventually start his own marketing and public relations firm, Techwire International, where he would put his fluency in five languages to good use.

An avid reader, voracious traveler, capable pilot, epicurean, and wine connoisseur, his loves would lead him to travel the world over. As a host, he was as unrivaled as his wine collection. His sense of humor was appreciated by everyone, even those who were at times a victim of it. He will be greatly missed.

Leo is survived by his wife, Trenise Pot, his three daughters, Alicia, Stephanie, and Dominique, his parents Martin and Joanne Pot, and his four sisters, Marianne Van Dijk, Brigitte Wolin, Carolina Pot, and Sonja Meeuwsen,"
