Yes, that's right!
Robert Burrell Donkin fell in this dock in Amsterdam last night, with his bag containing his laptop.
Looking none the worse for his ordeal this morning his only concern is for his mac which went in with him.
Apparently the Axio bag it was in helped to protect it on its journey to the bottom of the sea. Lets hope the all the incubator docs he'd written over the week can be saved. oops!

I know nothing, I'm not a fortune teller, and you'd be insane to think that I am. This disclaimer was cribbed from an email footer I once received. It is so ridiculous I had to have it for myself.
Statements in this blog that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements regarding my expectations, objectives, anticipations, plans, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements include risks and uncertainties such as any unforeseen event or any unforeseen system failures, and other risks. It is important to note that actual outcomes could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements.

This isn't the sea, it's the IJ! :)
My bad, I think this isn't the actual place anyway, but he still fell in ROTFLMAO!
With that small pier on the right and Central Station in the distance on the left, this looks like the view from the Muziekgebouw Aan Het IJ/Bimhuis, which is right next to the Moevenpick hotel. Especially with the strong wind on friday (chairs were being blown accross the terrace), it sounds like a very likely place to get sufficiently drunk to fall into the water.
