SKI!
So the Next Web Blog has taken all my time and energy these past few weeks. I posted a lot and talked to a hundreds of people. We have gotten a few advertisers, some traffic from Digg and a lot from Techcrunch. Our RSS feeds went from less than 100 to more than 3000 in a few days.

read moreBunch of iPhones
We ended up buying 15 iPhones in San Francisco earlier today. Then we went straight to the airport to catch our flight to Amsterdam. We carried three extra bags with 5 iPhones in each bag to distribute the weight evenly. When we loaded the iPhones into the x-ray machine the operator of the machine called over another security person who stared into the screen and then yelled “Oh my god, RUN!!!!”. First time ever that I met a security guy with a sense of humor. The stewardesses gave Patrick a special box in their kitchen to stash...
