Boris with a Beard on Bright.nl???

So I'm in staying in bed today because I'm a bit sick. My stomach is upset. The doctor said it was either "Smoking, spicey food, stress or alcohol or any combination of those 4 factors". I don't eat spicey food and don't smoke but stress and alcohol I have had my share of these last few months. I have watched the directors cut of Blade Runner and a few scenes of Swordfish. Swordfish is such a bad movie that I couldn't finish it. Then I answered some email and started browsing through my...

WordPress Tiger Administration

Arjen pointed me to a WordPress Plug-in that gives the WordPress Admin a new Look & Feel. I didn't feel like installing it at first because I was used to the standard Admin. But after checking the screenshots Idecided to give it a try. I installed "WP Tiger Administration v3.0" just now and I love it! WP Tiger Administration v3.0 gives WordPress a Mac OS X Mail feeling and seems less like a website and more like an application. If you use a Mac and WordPress give this a...

Radio Studio

Radio Studio. Photo by Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten. Yesterday I was a guest in a radio show. Funny thing is that this show will be broadcasted on christmas evening. I don't think a lot of people will listen but we had a good time in the studio talking about all the hip things you should talk about right now: Hyves.nl, Second Life, Digg and Web2.0 in general. They gave me a bottle of wine after the show which I'm going to drink tonight. UPDATE: the show has been broadcasteded...

I looked terrible. 5: I faked my mariage as a favor for a...

Web Worker Daily copies post without giving credit?

So on sunday (17th) I wrote a post titled "10 items you NEED to pack as a Mobile Worker…". I starts with a link to Web Worker Daily, that it is one of my favorite blog and how I wish I could read a blog like this on their website. On Monday I notice a few incoming links in my stats from the management section of Web Worker Daily. "Cool..." I think "...they read my blog too!" This morning I notice that Web Worker Daily (Chris Gilmer) published an article titled "Web worker on the road...

Cute?

10 items you NEED to pack as a Mobile Worker…

Web Worker Daily is one of my favorite blogs. I would have loved to read this post on their blog but sometimes you have to do some work yourself. So this is my Web Worker Daily Inspired post: Next to being an Internet Entrepreneur I also consider myself a true mobile worker. I started my first company in a club in Amsterdam and started my second company, HubHop - a WiFi hotspot provider - so I could work anywhere with WiFi. Being a mobile worker requires good preparation. I bought a...
