Happy New Year!

Happy New Year with live and direct fireworks from the Netherlands!
Happy New Year!
Yes, that’s amateurs firing off professional fireworks and it is perfectly “legal” to blow off your hands on this very day. ;)

Anyway, let’s hope 2012 will only bring goodness to you!

Retrospective on 2011

Just had a quick recap on 2011 and here are some of the highlights:
Move to WordPress
The decision to ditch Drupal in favor of WordPress took me almost a year, while the switch itself was only a matter of converting the content to the new format. I must say that WordPress is a lot easier to post with, but Drupal was more flexible in just creating any content.

Meetings
I went to a couple of meetings, made some pictures and met some people around…
April: Drift&Charity event @ Infineon Raceway (US)
May: JAF2011 (Japans Auto Festival) @ Zandvoort (NL)
July: JCS2011 (Japanese Classic Sunday) @ Gemert (NL)
November: Wangan Warriors 10 @ Oosterhout (NL)

The event at Infineon Raceway was just mind blowing, especially because it was such a unique chance going there. I enjoyed JAF, JCS and Wangan Warriors meeting more because I meet some of you guys at those meeting and had a good opportunity to make pictures.

Holiday
Apart from a couple of meetings I also went to Bali and Irian Jaya / Jayapura where I saw what the difference in climate actually means: higher rate of survival. ;)
