Hi:

This is the website for Owen Carter, a British guy who has been living in Amsterdam for the last 11 years.

I'm afraid there is nothing earth-shattering here, no solutions for World Peace, no cures for peoples ills.. Just a few of my photos and ramblings.

Bush the Homophobe

February 27th, 2004 |

What a charming little bigot he is. John O’Farrell’s comment in todays Guardian has this rather nice little take on it:
“This is clearly such a major political issue that it urgently requires a change in the American constitution. Now the famous document will read: “All men are created equal … but when we say men we mean real men, who like a beer and a ball game and leering at cheerleaders, not the effeminate faggoty types who jog through Central Park in tiny silver shorts, not that I was looking at their butts, obviously.” It will be the first constitutional amendment to be scrawled in green ink.“. Amen.

Pancakes

February 24th, 2004 |

110g plain flour, sifted

pinch of salt

2 eggs

200ml oz milk mixed with 75ml oz water

50g butter

Flour & salt in a bowl, add eggs, gradually add milk while beating to a good batter. leave to stand for an hour (improves mix) and then fry in butter using a -really- hot pan. Flip or turn them, and serve with cheese/bacon for a savory dish, or sugar/syrup/lemon for a unhealthy option. Chocolate spread also makes a good serving idea. Check out Delia’s classic recipe.

Webcam

Webcam is now online, the images can be pretty terrible, especially when the sun is pouring into my apartment, but the page itself is classy, even if I say it myself.

Growing sense

February 20th, 2004 |

“There’s a growing sense that even if The Future comes, most of us won’t be able to afford it.” A Lemmy quote.

Ok, some more quotes, just for completeness..
“We´re a bluesband, only faster” and “I wanted to form a band so bad, that if we moved in next door your lawn would die”.

Interesting fact, Motorhead’s name was originally ‘Barstards’ but the record company forced them to change. :-)

I skimmed some of this info from here.

Webcam

Hummm.. My Webcam is set-up but I obviously need to do a load of work since it only shows images in low light levels. During daylight you just get a white image.

Sharking?

February 11th, 2004 |

This is just weird, a Austrailian diver got bitten by a shark that would not let go, so he drove to get help with it still biting his leg.. I’m sure there’s a witty comment to be made, but I can’t think of it.

Couldn’t say it better myself..

…But this is the land of corporate rule in which the drive to make money has degenerated into little more than running a protection racket of enormous size and power.

From a Register feedback article about how Apple computer inc. used kids to bolster both their own profits, and those of the RIAA.
