A few months ago I did a presentation at the HKU in Utrecht, together with Joost Hietbrink from Joopp. It was about Mashups and the Future of Web.

Had a pretty weird conference call this afternoon. Roel was working again at Last.HQ in London, in their new “office”. They say it’s good against RSI and stuff. :)
This is pretty cool effect if you ask me! :)
I’d like this on my wall. More on his website.

I still have my second gen iPod. I’m proud of that, because it’s scratch-free, the battery is still good and it’s my best friend. Last night I listened to some stand-up comedy and fell asleep. This morning I went outside to catch my train, and there it was; an empty iPod. Do you know this feeling? The complete disastrous feeling of dispair? I immediately started to fear the conversations I was about to be confronted with. I HATE the talks of others on public transports in the morning. I hate all the input in the morning. I just want to listen to some good music with my eyes closed until Hell’s over.
I guess it’s just time for a new iPod. With extra battery pack. And a spare one perhaps. But what about my sweet little second gen iPod?! I can’t just leave him there….waiting…I…I just…damn!
Okay. This might actually be part of the blog about Tesla Coils I wrote earlier today. Wired published an article on a retired Linux Kernel Programmer who now has devoted his life to atom clocks. The title of this blog is his response to an experiment he did with his family on a holiday trip. I guess I’m just easily touched by passion. I just really like the idea of devoting a life to a certain subject of work or science.

So. What’s your passion in life?

I am not going to discuss crocs. I’m actually pretty straight-forward about it; anyone who wear ‘m should be ashamed of him- or herself, and deserves to live a lonely and miserable life. But..that’s actually too much talking on the subject. Nozzman actually said it best with this new cartoon:

This morning I read about an Australian doctor/physicist who worked on some Tesla Coil setups lately. I’m in. I’m not really sure what I’m in, but it’s just; I LOVE the beauty of electricity. I remember a storm in the early 90’s in Holland where everyone was extremely frightened and we even had some floods and god knows what went wrong. But that’s not what I remember. I actually only remember the night long lightning and thunder which kept me up all night. I was extremely excited about it, I wanted to know all about it.
Later in life I learned much more about electricity, and I even experimented a little (up until the point where it start to hurt, and that was the end of it ;-)). I even have a book just about lightnings. But this man goes one step further. I yet again feel like that small boy in his pyjamas in front of the window, full of excitement and enthusiasm.
