Gisteren was ik aan de beurt om een presentatie te geven in de lezingen serie Nieuwe Media in Nederland, die wordt georganiseerd door het in juni 2004 opgerichte Instituut voor Netwerkcultuur. De insteek sprak me wel aan; in plaats van in te gaan op de globale, inleidende vragen als “Wat Lees meer…
Apple had al aangekondigd met groot nieuws te komen, het wachten was alleen nog op wat dat zou zijn. Velen gingen er vanuit dat het een video iPod zou zijn; ik hield het op een iTunes telefoon en daar is ‘ie dan: de Motorola E790 Apple iTunes phone (al staat Lees meer…
Every now and then Google creates a customized logo for a specific day, I’m sure you’ve noticed. Today it seems they’ve chosen me! Check it out yourself at Google.com!
Most people that run their own website or blog want to know how many visitors they get. On top of that, they’d like to know where they come from. Technically speaking those are referrers. But the question where do you come from can also be interpreted geographically. (Just like in Lees meer…
This blog hasn’t been updated for a month. Most of that time I have been on vacation. During those weeks I intentionally didn’t go online. (I brought my laptop only to be able to empty my camera; nearly 400 pictures, mostly of her) Frank wonders why so many people don’t Lees meer…
Yesterday the second edition of the Dutch Business Blog Meeting was held at Publicis in Amstelveen, organised by Marco Derksen. Quite a lot of people and a good meeting. Personally, I found Ton’s presentation about knowledge management very iteresting (what about starting with the statement “there is no such thing Lees meer…
This an interesting issue (also adressed by Ton). In a world where things are getting more and more digital and computerised, it is becoming increasingly hard to judge what’s real and what’s not. Watching James Bond doing some amazing stuff and you know that it’s not real; but you can Lees meer…
I have been thinking about this before, received some encouraging feedback, and now I finally got myself one: the iTrip. Installation was a breeze and now I’m ready for my holiday trip. Also, this should be a great solution for listening to podcasts. I’ve played some music in the car Lees meer…
Yesterday I was surprised by a visit from my colleague Vincent. The visit itself wasn’t the surprise, but Vincent’s new means of transportation was: the Segway. This really is an amazing piece of technology. There is no gass handle whatsoever; when you lean forward, it re-establishes balance and rolls back Lees meer…
Guido pointed me to this little article on weblogs in KPN’s newspaper “de Breedbander” that quotes me. Of course I knew about it since I gave an interview for it, but I didn’t find the result in the mail (snail). Now I figured out why: I’ve got this sticker on Lees meer…
Bloglines, my favorite RSS reader, seems to be under construction. Nine in the mornig is a bad time for such a service to be offline. At least they’ve made a nice under construction notice.
Yesterday we had our InterimIC meeting at Nieuwspoort in The Hague. Afterwards we paid a visit to the political section of the RTL Nieuws desk, hosted by Frits Wester. He had some great stories about the way he gets his news and scoops via sources that he of course could Lees meer…
People that I see regularly know that I always have my BlackBerry around. (Actually, most of them carry one too.) On the other hand, I meet quite a lot of people that never have seen one before or even worse, don’t even know what it is! “Is that thing handy?” Lees meer…
The Kryptonite case is famous. (The story where someone showed on video how to open a $100 lock. The video was distributed very fast using blogs; Kryptonite offered to return the locks, causing a loss of a lot of money.) Now there is a new lock case: Kensington. This time Lees meer…
I noticed I’m not the only one who’s struggling with the language issue. After I redesigned this web site I explained my choice a little bit – and I’m still satisfied with it – but not completely. Hans received some very useful comments (like the idea of bi-lingual blogging). Given Lees meer…
