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.

Internet ’safety’

…you can drill into your kid that the internet is full of weird people and christians.
- ‘David’, in a letter to my favorite newspaper, The Register.

A priest asked: What is Fate, Master?

And the Master answered:
It is that which gives a beast of burden its reason for existence.
It is that which men in former times had to bear upon their backs.
It is that which has caused nations to build byways from City to City
upon which carts and coaches pass, and alongside which inns have come
to be built to stave off Hunger, Thirst and Weariness.
And that is Fate? said the priest.
Fate … I thought you said Freight, responded the Master.
That’s all right, said the priest.
I wanted to know what Freight was too.

Kehlog Albran, “The Profit”

Finland: an entire country with a sense of humour.

Yep, those crazy Finns have selected a Death Metal act for their Eurovision entry. This is fantastic, I really want to see Terry Wogan’s face as he introduces a band that will sing:
“wings on my back, I got horns on my head, my fangs are sharp and my eyes are red, not quite an angel or the one that fell, now choose to join us or go straight to hell,”

Monkey!

Ah. So!

“Games Should Be Like Female Orgasms”

..according to some :-)
But the /. discussion on this produced an excellent response:
If ‘Games Should Be Like Female Orgasms,’ why are the most popular games first person shooters?

Fantastic Colour Photography

The work of a true pioneer, who was taking very good colour photographs of rural Russia a hundred years ago, wonderful.

Prehistoric Sculpture

Prehistoric Sculpture of the finest quality.. There does seem to be something fundamental about man producing art. Witness these figurines from 30,000 years ago.

Is it a boat? or is it a Car?

Well, actually it’s both. And it even looks like it’s competent at both roles, which is something most amphibious cars don’t achieve.

Flying Pigs?

Flying Squad.. whatever, this is cool.

Fancy That!

The Night of Pan crew are still active.

confused?

If you’ve got questions, maybe you can also supply answers.. A clever idea.

Are you Blond?

If so, watch out.. You’re in an evolutionary cul-de-sac, not to mention being the butt of many jokes.
