The city district Amsterdam Osdorp recently merged with Slotervaart and Geuzenveld-Slotermeer and was given the name Amsterdam Nieuw-West. This change also meant the end of 20 years of restructuring urbanized areas. To celebrate everything achieved, a book was published. ‘The Metamorphosis of Osdorp’ gives an overview of the architectural highlights. PlusOne was asked to create an intriguing video.

Something I’d like people to…

Jun 4th, 2010

“Something I’d like people to know: when I say I can’t do this, what I mean is that I can’t do this without losing a part of myself I really want to keep.”

Happy Birthday!

Jun 2nd, 2010

Birthday

Yesterday, June 1st, marks the first anniversary of this blog! I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I’ve started this thing and I’m so happy at how it’s grown and developed it’s own tone and voice.

I’m so grateful for all of you my readers and thank you for all your kind messages, submissions, suggestions, and your time.

Statistics

It blows my mind how large both those numbers are, especially the first one. I can personally thank both the awesome link on the sidebar of Bobby Solomon’s blog, Kitsune Noir and especially (and more recently), StumbleUpon, which discovered my site about three months ago sending about 300 hits a day my way until just this past month where everything started to explode like wildfire. Now, when I say “explode”, I mean it. Just in this past month alone thanks to StumbleUpon, I received 530,000 hits.

Again, thanks! and I look forward to another year :)

We never know what will…

Jun 1st, 2010

“We never know what will happen but I believe good things happen every day. I believe good things happen even when bad things happen. And I believe on a happy day like today, we can still feel a little sad. And that’s life, isn’t it?” ~The book Elsewhere
