Crazy Dutch People

Last week, the Dutch soccer team was welcomed back after losing the world cup final versus Spain in South Africa. Thousands of soccer fans travelled to Amsterdam to cheer at their hero’s. I took some pictures because they happened to pass through the canals, a couple of meters from my work.

Ok this starts looking like a crowd.

One last big cheer at the team before they dissapear from view

All this effort and he didn't even catch a glimpse of the soccer players because he took a wrong turn (or was too late).

Box2DFlashAS3 Without “b2″ Prefixes

Just refactored the Box2DFlashAS3 physics engine version 2.1a, removing the b2 prefixes to improve readability.
Of course in C++ (the original language in which Erin Catto wrote Box2D) it is probably practical to have unique class names, but since in AS3 we have a classpath, there really is no need to make class names more cryptical.

Get it here: Box2DFlashAS3 2.1a_refactored

Note that I just copied the package and only changed most of the class names, this means that the provided examples do not compile, you can still use them as a reference though.

New, stylish transportation!

Oranje duiveltje
Oranje duiveltje

Our new city-transport: Orange,  50cc, 4-stroke, 4-valve, 100kg, 60kph on wheels with white-wall tires zig-zag ‘hey let me through’ zoom goodness!

It looks kinda classic, but the engine’s regulated by a small computer and I don’t ever have to mix in oil with my fuel like the old ones. Just pour in regular gasoline at the gas station and off we go.

Did you know Vespa’s have their wheels attached on one side? It’s something they inherit from Piaggio’s original occupation: building airplanes.
This bike has a light engine, but in urban areas it feels agile and quick, like riding an oversized wasp, hence the name!
