Today I have upgraded to version 3.4.7 of Blog:CMS. One of the new features is that now a WAP version of my weblog is available. So surf to http://w.xandermol.com with your XHTML Mobile 1.0 capable mobile phone to check this out!

And as always: please contact me in case of any remarks or encountered errors. Alas my own phone (Nokia 7650) is not XHTML enabled, so I can't test the wap page on my own mobile. But I already planned buying a new phone in the next three months anyway ;-)

During my trip to Cuba last month, I noticed a video clip being played very often on Cuban TV. I do not speak Spanish, but the video was clear enough to make it's anti-Bush and anti-Iraq war message clear.
I am not a fan of both George W. and the USA involvement in Iraq, but this video is much too one sided to be taken seriously. However, as counterweigth to the Republican National Convention pro-Bush propaganda, it might be interesting to watch.
Click here to watch the "¡DI QUE NO!" video of the Cuban rapgroup "Hoyo Colorao". For more background in Spanish: click here or here).
