Random notes II

First off, the dutch word for icebreaker is ijsbreker. Wooh! Icebreakers are frickin' cool, mmm'kay?

Secondly, among various political podcasts I ganked from the CBC, I found one that looks at the influence of technology on society. It is called Search Engine and if you don't wanna listen, it also has a blog, links, etc. I like the concept of the program, the ep I listened to was quite neat, so we'll see how it goes.

I thought you had dutchphobia?

Phobia is probably not the right word. I would say raging irrational hatred! everyone needs a hobby right? Although it has waned - I just don't have the energy I did when I was young ;)

Regardless of my feelings towards the dutch, however, my job for this term is basically to help compile a multilingual glossary of ship-related terms, and I have a really big Dutch word list to work with... It will probably take me at least a month to get through the rest of it :/

But I'm in the i's!
