Happy Holidays from Tim & Christo

The Netherlands is ‘going into lockdown again’ starting Sunday to curb omicron infections.

Schools, universities, and all non-essential stores, bars and restaurants in the Netherlands will be closed until January14 starting Sunday. The news did not make me happy but this video made me smile. It is Deepfake.

The term deepfake is typically used to refer to a video that has been edited using an algorithm to replace the person in the original video with someone else (especially a public figure) in a way that makes the video look authentic.

The people in this video for non-Netherlands peeps from left to right are:

Mark Rutte: Prime Minister of the Netherlands since 2010.

Jaap van Dissel: Dutch virologist and infectiologist. He is director of the Centrum Infectieziektebestrijding of the Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). He is also professor at the Leiden University with specialization Internal Medicine, in particular infectious diseases.

Diederik Gommers: Dutch Intensive Care physician. He works at the Erasmus MC in Rotterdam and is chairman of the Dutch Union for Intensive Care.

Hugo de Jonge: Dutch politician serving as first Deputy Prime Minister of the Netherlands and Minister of Health.

Wild West Party at T.R.A.C.S

The American frontier, also known as the Old West or the Wild West, includes the geography, history, folklore, and culture in the forward wave of American expansion in mainland North America that began with European colonial settlements in the early 17th century and ended with the admission of the last few western territories as states in 1912.

Get Physical Party at T.R.A.C.S 2

Last Saturday we had the “Get Physical Party”. There were more guests than we expected and that was wonderful. DJ Threesje had made a nice set with music in theme. As always, I made some snapshots. It took a long time for textures to get sharp. I blamed Linden Lab for that. Only later did I see that my draw distance was way too high. I'll be more careful next time.

Get Physical Party at T.R.A.C.S

 When Olivia Newton-John recorded her 11th studio album, Physical, 40 years ago, she sang “There's nothing left to talk about, unless it's horizontally.” It’s perhaps a tame lyric by 2021 standards, but it was downright scandalous when it was released on Sept. 28, 1981.

POST PARTY at T.R.A.C.S - the snapshots

Maybe because the theme wasn't easy, was the reason that we not had much guest at the Post Party. But we had fun. Here are some snapshot I made during the party.

Tim made a great set in theme. At the end of the party he played some songs from Ed Sheeran. I was special happy he played Shivers.
