The interior of the research company is sporting both a statue of the founder as well as the modernstyle waterhose. Most of the companies activities take place under streetlevel.

February snow. Actually quite rare in Amsterdam.

Comparing apples with apples.

Apple and IBM nicely side by side. Two worlds joining in the publishing efforts. As one can see, digital publishing requires great concentration.

The digital content cottage industry starts with group pods or blogs, where likeminded publishers get-to-gether to create and share.

The fundaments for blogging and podcasting. The digital publisher and consumer have more and more advanced equipment to ensure quality.Which can be stylish too.

Being fondeled and taken care of. Podday has arrived, sporting enormous earphones.

Dressed up like an iPod with more or less the same safety instruction, but a different pricetag.

Arriving by express mail from the USA.

Very good indeed. The new applications I have learned and seen are very appealing. I will definitely advance from here in an ultra faced pace.

The finesses of Apple are being explained by Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten. An avid Apple user with lots of experience. The second thing to note is Boris immaculate dress sense. The suits by New Taylor suit him very well indeed.

Third trend - High speed Internet access. The Netherlands is getting more and more broadband connected. High speed Internet is the on-line oxygen.

Another trend is listening to timeshifted audio, either music or Podcasts. Sporting big headphones is very urban.

Generation C, one of the key trends according to Reiner Evers of www.trendwatching.com is creativity. Famous brands as Onitsuka seem to implement them.

....more than lifesize advertising for Axcent The Swedish watch brand. We will find out much more about them later this year when I will be travelling to Sweden. Frist beginning of April for the IPTV World Forum and later in August for holidays with good friends.

Walking through the ever crowded Leidsestraat, we were struck by...

Roderick had been ill during the nigth. Some sort of virus had caught up with him. In the morning he was feeling better (we did not feel that good) and we decided to go for some bookshopping to prepare for his first day to school on March 1.

Neville returns the favour of snapping a picture of me. (By the way that bike is not mine.)

On the way back from lunch discussing egocasting in general en podcasting in particular, we went past a chuch. More Neville you can find on http://nevon.typepad.com.
