I’d like to convince a lot of people (my boss, my parents, my friends, etc) to try out the new iPhone. It would make life so much easier if more people around me would choose an iPhone (and hopefully — and this is my main point — buy a Mac as well after they got hooked on Apples simplicity).

If they would speak english, i would just leave ‘em alone with one of Steve Jobs keynotes, but most of my people simply do not speak english well enough to get it (“Boom!” just ain’t enough to cut their cheese).

Where, dear Apple, can i find a Keynote with German Subtitles?

Sure, the Germans (replace Germans with Italians or Dutch or etc if you like) have a little iPhone buzz going on as well, but this seems to be limited to those “few” who understand what an iPhone “can do”.

You are missing a huge opportunity here, Steve.

Self declared Frisian rolemodel Manuel Martensen turned 34 today. Despite the Peter Pan roots he inhertits, 34 years, even for Frisians, as Martensen honestly admits, “slowly turns out to be a lil’ bit different than being just 24”. But as much as most prefer sweet oranges over bitter ones, age can be a plus. Not all the time, but mostly he “feels just fuckin’ fine”.

Thirtyfour does not only stand for 3.4 decades of wasted biomass, but also for 66 years of stellar experiences to come, stuff and shits who could change the world, and local nonsense without global importance.
