The Verdonk shirt is finally here

Kay and I had a lot of trouble finding a good printer who could deliver on demand within Europe, but we found one.

Order the Verdonk shirt here.

Let us know what you think about the Spreadshirt service. We might make more shirts with them, so your input is valuable.

All proceeds of this shirt will go to charity.

No man is a hero to his subeditor

But Bert van Rijswijk, a subeditor at news weekly Elsevier, was a hero to me. Sort of. When I first came to Elsevier as an intern back in 1997, a cocky kid feeling rather out of his depth being in a building with some of the best journalists in the country, he put me at ease.

Bert was a wonderful human being.

So of course God, in his infinite wisdom, decided to bring the guy home. Nice work, God. Couldn't you at least have comforted him a bit before taking him in?
