We arived in Amsterdamn (minus 1 bag that wanted to see other parts of the world apparently) around 6:00 pm and went to explore the local “coffee” shops and the red light district. Visited the Moulin Rouge for a strip show, bananna act and live sex on stage. In truth, it couldn’t have been any less sexy - but the novelty of it was pretty fun. When the male performer got on stage, my wife and I turned to each other and said in unison “It’s Jackie Chan!” - I swear, the dude was a spitting image.

Early this afternoon we took one of our MacBook Pros in to be service. It has the white screen of death (needs new hard drive) and 3 of the keys on the keyboard don’t work. But hey, at least we can still fry and egg on it.

Of course it was out of warrenty - which expired on Auguest 10th. Apple must have a fucking time bomb that goes off in their computers to destroy them once they’re out of warrenty.

Total damage was 314 euros: and now that the dollar is worth about the same as a piece of used toilet paper, that comes to $439 . . . about the price of a cheap non Apple laptop. Guess that’s what it means to “Think Different” . . . I think we just got fucked.

The Food has been good, the people nice, and the weather a bit cold and rainy - but no complaints. Amsterdamn is a lot of fun.

The Webmaster Access show starts tomorrow and I’ll probably post some highlights and pics.
