Discussing new digital opportunities with @hoitepolkamp

Documentaries are one of my favorite video productions. Today I went to the premiere at the Amsterdam historical museum of the documentary of 25 years Rode Draad, the 'union' for prostitutes in The Netherlands. Made and directed by former 'working girl' Metje Blaak we got an interesting insight what has happened since its inception. The full set is here.

Returned from South Africa and a very inspiring and confronting study tour SPSA2010 on the impact of society, sport and media on each other. Too many highlights, but 'common ground' as overwhelming theme stands out: even in very hostile and difficult circumstances a common ground can be found and an joint future build. The full set is here.

Next to all the good news from football, nice weather, biking and business, there was also very sad news. Roy Avni, DJ at KinkFM and the man behind Electronation, passed away yesterday. We wish his friends, family, colleagues and listeners all the strength they need in these difficult days...

Call me a sucker for craft work and technology. Last Friday the people at Vanmoof convinced me to take up biking again.... Running through town on the new bike I bumped into Jaap den Dulk, who was celebrating the football victory...

Another big step in life; holy communion...the full set.

A great brightnight at Pakhuis De Zwijger in Amsterdam. Dutch digital pioneer Hugo Leijtens of Nexocial launched the nPad tonight, great to see such an achievement of a young pioneer that founded his company in China. the full set is here

An amazing line up of thought leaders brought together at the annual conference of the Nexus institute. The full set can be found here.

End of a long and busy week...

Being on the phone a lot, there is a lot to be said to reduce the radiation coming in. Pongresearch has developed a good tool to do exactly that.

Hopped by 'De Dokter' today to have a quick snack and talk about vinyl. Analogue and Digital can go together really well.

It had been a busy period with the acquisition of the Algemeen Nederlands Persbureau (ANP) (Netherlands national news agency), The Netherlands’ largest news agency supplies independent news to virtually all Dutch media - such as television, radio, newspapers, Internet, mobile, magazines – and the public and private sectors. Therefore it was nice to have time for an extensive breakfast today. Nice to see Roderick being an avid media consumer too...

I took the Leica V-lux20 out for a spin today at Artis Zoo in Amsterdam. Versatile little snapper cam indeed. Akward for me not shooting with prime lenses...The full set is here.

The analogue physical/digital world's are getting more and more differentiated. Being an avid fan of Time magazine I compared three deliveries, physical magazine (one issue behind), digital version on Kindle and digital version iPad. The iPad version definitely is the winner of the two digital ones. The physical issue has it value too. Strangely enough I cannot find a combination subscription for physical and digital version or single cross platform subscription . I would love to have one of those, including a good search and archive function.

The iPad has an extremely simple adoption . No tutorials or manuals required. Just go and enjoy. Technology in its best form...the full set is here.

It has been a few years since we invested in location based services developer Bliin. Since then LBS have exploded. Cameras are now being equipped with GPS to be able to geo-locate the pictures. Leica's V-lux 20 is an excellent example of such a snapshot GPS camera. I took it out for a spin today running into the magazine party for zissisnotaglossy by Serge-Henry Valcke with pictures by Serge-Henry and Wouter Stelwagen.
