Knight Rider GPS With KITT Voice
This Knight Rider-themed GPS unit from MIO has voice prompts recorded by the one-and-only William Daniels, the original voice of KITT, and asks cordially “Hello Michael, where do you want to go today?” when powered up. The LCD display is also flanked by a series of red LEDs reminiscent of KITT’s nose-mounted lights.
Nice gizmo but somehow the voice sounds quite a bit different than the KITT I remember.
Is it me or does this actually sound more like a James Bond?
The GPS Generated Self Portrait
With the help of a GPS device and DHL, I have drawn a self portrait on our planet. My pen was a briefcase containing the GPS device, being sent around the world. The paths the briefcase took around the globe became the strokes of the drawing.
Check out The Biggest Drawing In The World - somehow I’m not sure if I believe this is actually real? Thanks Reza!

Skiing Madnezz
This weekend we were invited by our friends at N=5 to join them for a skitrip to pretty Crans Montana in Swiss. I’ve got a few years experience skiing but decided to try snowboarding. Not really my thing - so went back to skiing quite quickly. Apparently skiing is just as cool these days - have a look at this (thanks Marika):
BE[¡]KON
So I’m back in Holland after a great time in Iceland! Some more updates to follow, but here’s a quick xmas gift from Iceland: ‘Ígulker and Sítt að aftan’ is a vintage clothing and recordshop in Reykjavik. I liked the music they were playing when we walked in so I asked the guy working there what it was and he told me it was a mix he had made that day.
When I asked him if I could buy it he told me I could download it from his blog for free. Nice! Also a bit confusing: go to recordshop -> hear something nice -> say you want to buy it -> get it for free.
The mix is called Árslistinn 2007.
