Funkalicious ft. Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten

Last Friday, during Blog08, the band (Love O.D.) invited me to play along during one of their songs. I happily accepted and did my first even music performance. I feel like a rock star now... Love O.D. - Funkalicious ft. Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten from Love O.D. UPDATE: The sex-appeal generally associated with rock stars seems to be working for me too! I made it to Dutch Cowgirls! http://www.dutchcowgirls.nl/events/858 UPDATE 2: Check all the other songs they played at the Love...

Death, Nalden.net, TwitterKeys, TV, Radio & the Kashmir pouch

If I'm not blogging that surely doesn't mean nothing is happening! Here are a few links to what I'm doing and what happened: An old friend, Mark Hoekstra, died this week. Too young. Way too young!

Kings of Code!

Developers are cool. They know stuff that I don't. I look up to developers. I would love to be a great developer! I can build stuff in PHP but don't actually 'understand' it like real developers do. In other words, I'm not a King of Code. But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the Kings of Code gathering on May 27 in Amsterdam! In fact, as one of the initiators of the event, I must be there! Yeah, the Kings of Code gathering is an event by developers for developers with developers. There...

Slurpr demo for Werner Vogels

Yesterday evening I had some people over for dinner including Werner Vogels. He is the CTO of Amazon.com. He noticed my Slurpr and wanted to know what it does and how it worked. I showed the device and told him all about it. Then he persuaded me to pitch the device on video for him. This was at the end of the evening after a lot of champagne and wine and I was very tired. The result: ...

Public Speaking
