Using the iPod in your car

31/03/2005

This is a problem that a lot of iPod users have: you have your iPod stuffed with music and of course some podcasts, and you will be on the road for at least an hour. Great way to listen to your iPod, you would think. But not over the car hifi system. There isn’t an […]

“Making money with internet diaries”

30/03/2005

That was the title of a news item on BNR Nieuwsradio yesterday. They called me to comment on the subject. Twenty minutes of calling reulted in only a few quotes, but that’s how it goes.
It’s nice that they mentioned our blog manual Blognomics 2.0 - the mechanics and economics of blogging, but I would have […]

Soundseeing

22/03/2005

I’m really amazed by this new phenomenon called soundseeing. Perhaps this word raises some question marks. In fact, when I try to explain to someone what soundseeing means, they already start laughing as soon as I’ve used the word. “How can that be interesting?”. Well, to be honest, I’m a little surpised myself, but it […]

New egosurfing tool: preople

16/03/2005

I’ve been egosurfing since the early days (not sure if I actually invented the word). It means that you regularly check your online presence. Google was the best and only tool to do that. I was very excited to find out that when you spell my name wrong at Google, you’re asked if you didn’t […]

Viral effect getting in motion

14/03/2005

It’s great to see that some of the mechanisms we describe in our blog manual actually take place with the blog manual and the blog seminar being the subject! Not only some digital media have mentioned the blognomics event, some bloggers have picked it up now too. One of them is Neville Hobson at Nevon.net […]

Shifting audio and video

13/03/2005

What do an iPod and hard disk recorder have in common? A lot!
The concept of local storage creates the opportunity to direct your own media consumption behaviour. This may sound a little fuzzy. What is means is that to store media - audio and video - at a near place, enables you to watch or […]

On air

12/03/2005

When I was young I always wanted to be a radio host or a quiz master. I never managed to get there (yet), but at least I’ve been on national radio: BNR Nieuwsradio. In todays program called In de Ban de Week I was interviewd by former Nova en RTL News host Margriet Vroomans and […]

Podcast experiment

09/03/2005

I’ve been carrying around my new iPod Photo for not even a week now, but my enthousiasm is still at heights. One of the reasons I got the device was to get into podcasting.
I’ve just been working on my setup and if everything goes as planned, this post will include a podcast. I’ll explain how […]

We can’t make it any more fun…

06/03/2005

…but we do make it easier. Well, that’s more or less the slogan of the Dutch tax service. What do you think of this? I received a letter that I’d been late with sending in my Q4 turnover. Since it’s the first time, they won’t give me a fine yet, but the next time […]
