Gaming has become more popular again. Since the switch from PC to Mac I had been lagging on the gaming front altogether. Now with the Intel iMac with lots of video-memory, I bought a game again: Quake IV. The little men play java games and they enjoy it a lot too.....

I joined the board of the Crossmediaweek, a large (cross media) event that will take place end of September here in Amsterdam. I met up with them team creating this event and I must say it sounds and looks very interesting indeed. Of course more info and pictures will follow coming months on this new activity I am engaged in.

Arrived today, the ultimate iPod gear, the blackcoat sport from Koyono. Slide in the ipod and of you go in the rain and wind and still be capable of utilising the ipod's controls. Now that is niffty. As soon as the Vespa arrives, the blackcoat sport will be a good companion on the travels through Amsterdam.

The partner introduction of KPN's TV offering 'Mine' took place in Hotel Stroom in Rotterdam. The Hotel had been converted to a DSLAM to be able to serve all the TV streams simultaneously..... Great introduction with very promising propositions.

Fort Knox Five - the new gold standard has been playing on the Macbook Pro, the iPod and the iPod Hifi. Great funky muzik :)

The winners of the contests at Blognomics, HenkJan who won the iPod hifi for best report on the conference and Guido who won the web-log photo contest together among others with the 'blog me girls'.

A day in the country. Fantastic wheather and company made a day full of activity including riding a bike and jumping on a trampoline....

In line with the MacBook Pro, more shiny metal appears in our home. Finally we sorted the full service delivery chain for the kitchen (buying, transporting, removal of the old stuff, installation) so now we are enjoying the new Boretti and Liebherr units. Both in shiny shiny armour. Let the food begin.....

Bringing the creative and the industry together is a good thing. Despite sometimes apparently different systems, there is lot to be gained when creatives and industry work together, not only can it produce innovation, it is also good fun. Visting the opening of a V2 event in Rotterdam was very worthwhile.
