After a year with my previous host I decided to move again as I wanted more flexibility and options.

In the end I decided to move to Dreamhost.com after reading some very favourable stories about them online.

Please let me know if you experience any glitches due to this move.

Today, 6 May 2011 14:07h our second son is born:
Reinier Jacob Christiaan Mol

More information and his own website (reiniermol.eu) coming soon.

Due to some issues with my old hosting provider and the longer existing wish to move to servers located in the Netherlands, I have moved to a new webhost.

(EDIT: Moved again, see above)

Now that Legend of the Seeker has stopped, another fantasy epic will be adapted to a TV series.

HBO will premiere a TV series based on George Martin's 'Game of Thrones'. Can't wait!

Addictive little flash game.

A new gallery with photo's of our holiday to Portugal 16 to 26 July 2008 is online.

The actors playing the lead characters in the upcoming 'Legend of the Seeker' TV series (based on Terry Goodkind's Wizard's First Rule) are announced, including a nice picture of Richard and Kahlan in the TV series.

See the announcement.

IMDB Profiles:
Legend of the Seeker TV series
Craig Horner (Richard Cypher)
Bridget Regan (Kahlan)
Bruce Spence (Zeddicus Zul Zorander)
Jay Laga'aia (Chase)
Craig Parker (Darken Rahl)

This is certainly a new TV series I am looking forward too: a 22 episodes TV series adaption of the first Terry Goodkind Sworth of Truth novel Wizard's First Rule. They have named the TV series Legend of the Seeker, and filming has started in New Zealand.

Help to make this memorable by joining in Download Day 2008: a world record attempt at the most downloads ever of a single file on a day.

Great game: fun and educational as well. Have a try at being the US president and balance the US budget.

I did well myself: I wiped out the US national debt, achieved budget balance, revived the economy, while beeing a green and health & wellness champion at the same time. And it was surprisingly easy: just a 10% cut in the ridiculous US defense budget, raising the taxes to a much more sensible level and taxing polution for us Europeans gave me loads of money to invest in nice stuff. And it did not even kill the economy, it even revived the economy.

So try for yourself.

The waiting is over: the (at least by me) highly anticipated Julia Marcell Sellaband album, 'It Might Like You' has just been released for digital download. The first three tracks are free, the whole album is just a US$ 3.50 download. Go here for the downloads.

Physical album sales will start later, but you can pre-order here.
