Some sentences circled through my brain today, seems like a little poem.

I wanted to share them…am still wondering where they came from though.

Without darkness no light,

Without black no white,

Paint the picture of your life,

Use all colours you can find,

And make it bright.

…let's get some people married!! 🙂

I WANT, I WANT, I WANT IT!!!

We've been very busy the last weeks with preps for our friends wedding this weekend. Axel and Beike will celebrate it a full weekend on the island of Schiermonnikoog. Looking at the time and effort put in it sofar it MUST be a great event…and it will!!! Leaving tomorrow, coming back on Monday, so don't expect too much here, am out partying! 🙂

Happy Birthday hun!

Read/Write Web: Interview With Chris Beard, Mozilla VP Products on the Firefox 2.0 launch planned today.

Two quotes:

"We see that RSS is still very early in its adoption and use overall."….huh?!?

and

"it really shouldn't matter whether you're accessing your content from your computer, your phone or your tv – we're going to see consistency in that experience."…YESSSSS!!!

Am a happy FF user for years now. Check it out for yourself & download it!

Just finished listening to another episode of The Gillmor Gang (my favorite tech&geek podcast). This one was recorded on Friday the 13th and is not surprisingly called 'Friday the 13th Gang' :)…and…it was HILARIOUS!! It was actually more a fun and social talk than deep techy&geeky, but I still enjoyed it to bits!

Listen to all 5 parts: part I, II, III, IV and V.
Especially the end of the last episode got me rollin' on the floor; Jason Calacanis did his Adam Curry imitation, having him crying from laughing too 🙂

Great site with a zillion classic TV theme songs in mp3 format!

Clique Communications' Richard Giles posted the The Origins Of Podcasting. A complete overview of the history of podcasting…very complete I must admit…it's the first overview I've come across that decribes the amazing encounter I had with Adam Curry (a moment later referred to as a 'godcasting' by Dave Winer)…kudos Richard! 🙂

PS. Adam didn't think I was an offending motorist, for him it turned out to be a 'click'-moment…showing him that he was really on to something big! 🙂

A big topic in Adam's Daily Source Code for months now…it's about time to point y'all to the official website that is keeping track of Scrunchers and Folders worldwide, scruncherorfolder.com! 🙂

So…how do YOU roll??

I posted earlier on the human clock project…if you like clocks/time even more (and have no problem being captured by time :)), check out this one!

We played against our fellow trainingdudes of Pijlslag. We were taken by surprise with their powerplay from the start and lost the first two sets with 10-25, 12-25…OUCH! Luckily we were able to repack ourselves in the third set, survived a matchpoint and won it 28-26. The last set was tough, but hard work paid off, 25-23…a draw! This might be the best result for both teams since we will train together coming Monday. 🙂

In the end we were the moral winners, coming back from so far away…

I had quite a hectic weekend; high school reunion, big family party, a bachelor party and, oh yeah, a volleyball match which we lost 3-0.

So, waaaayyy too busy to post on it, but it has been 2 years ago last Saturday, October 7, that the podcasting train truly left the station…godspeed with a godcast…destination yet unknown…heading for a great and eventful ride!

For all suckers of historic moments; check it out!

Blufr…addictive while you get the feeling of 'learning' something!

This is a great site for anyone calling internationally. For instance to spooky countries like Ivory Coast, Burundi or Kyrgyzstan! 🙂

It *is* time to go to bed, but…never too late to help out Dave Winer:

He's looking for some of the Trade Secrets podcasts he did 2 years ago with Adam Curry and asked if anyone still had copies. Hehe, I do…obviously! I posted a comment and he responded!

Dave, you can find them here! (PS. I adjusted the link pointing now to their 'own' homebase on Dave's server :))

(Sorry for the crappy .Mac interface and please give the files some time to be uploaded to the server…it *will* take a while, but was the best I could do for now, at this time of night :))

Isn't it great to see how one big inter(net)connected community works?

Follow today's BT Digital Music Awards via the BT Podshow live stream. Was having a chat with Adam this morning, there are still some issues to work out, but BT Podshow guys are doin' it! And as for the UNdition; it's not 'idols for geeks', but 'idols for anyone'…yeah!! 🙂

Google has updated/upgraded their newsreader (Google Reader)…yeah, this works perfect for me!

I always thought the word iPod was just a catchy name that Apple chose for their mp3-player…found out this week that the term POD stands for Portable On Demand! 🙂

The 'i' in front of it fits in Apples branding strategy (iMac, iBook, iTunes, iLife, iMovie, etc.)

We played our first game yesterday and lost 1-3…sjeez, it has been quite some time since we last lost a game! Have to try harder next time (starting with the training!).
