December 21st, 2005 | Posted in Oude blogposts Steeph

Dear readers, It’s impossible for me to do two blogs at the same time with the right quality and the right frequency. So I decided, for the time being, to put most of my effort in the Dutch group weblog Sargasso. Steephs blog will only be updated when there is something that needs to be [...]

Those on the right stick to Microsoft IE more

December 3rd, 2005 | Posted in Oude blogposts Steeph

Last year I wrote about the clear distinction in browser use between visitors of right leaning weblogs versus those off left leaning weblogs (political that is).This week Firefox 1.5 went public. A good time to do the same test again.Unfortunatly, DailyKos was out of the air and I couldn’t find a comparable site.Here are the [...]

(De)Construction

September 30th, 2005 | Posted in Oude blogposts Steeph

Dutch got their own Kilt

September 5th, 2005 | Posted in Oude blogposts Steeph

I love whisky. Most of all Scottish wishky. So that’s why it nice to hear the Dutch now have their own Tartan Kilt. Now we can drink whisky in the right attire. It was designed by Dr. David Wishart and contains the colours of the Dutch flag (red, white and blue) and Orange (of course). [...]

August 27th, 2005 | Posted in Oude blogposts Steeph

It wasn’t something I could resist. Given my reputation, I had to look at the proposed Iraqi constitution. Wasn’t easy given the fact that I was ill this week. But next week it might be old news, so I had to give it a try. If this constitution will make it anyhow. The parties involved [...]

Three items related to Peakoil. First one on manipulating the timing of a report. From the Progress Report (via Suburban Guerrilla): ”BUSH ADMINISTRATION CONCEALS FUEL ECONOMY REPORT: In late July, “the Environmental Protection Agency made an 11th-hour decision…to delay the planned release of an annual report on fuel economy.” The decision to block the release of [...]

So this is the first in my serie on my latest initiative.I’m trying to create a new political movement! But not one in the traditional sense. Not like today’s political parties.

Extreme Democracy

July 12th, 2005 | Posted in Oude blogposts Steeph

Attacks by terrorists are seen as attacks on democracy.In the Netherlands the results of the recent referendum showed how insecure we are about our own democracy.In the US people doubt the democratic process on state level and they also see serious problems regarding the role of the media as watchdog of democracy.

Coming Oil Crisis – some links

June 20th, 2005 | Posted in Oude blogposts Steeph

Since another small record was broken regarding the oil price (over $59 dollar today), it seems like a good time to dump some recent links I’ve gathered surrounding the topic of Peak Oil. A report obtained by AlJazeera shows that the US government is aware that the peak oil is coming. But so far no [...]
