Yesterday we had our InterimIC meeting at Nieuwspoort in The Hague. Afterwards we paid a visit to the political section of the RTL Nieuws desk, hosted by Frits Wester. He had some great stories about the way he gets his news and scoops via sources that he of course could not reveal. Nice to have […]
People that I see regularly know that I always have my BlackBerry around. (Actually, most of them carry one too.) On the other hand, I meet quite a lot of people that never have seen one before or even worse, don’t even know what it is! “Is that thing handy?” they ask, to get the […]
The Kryptonite case is famous. (The story where someone showed on video how to open a $100 lock. The video was distributed very fast using blogs; Kryptonite offered to return the locks, causing a loss of a lot of money.)

When I explain about podcasting - and it still needs a lot of explaining - I tell people that a podcast can have generally two sources. One is the amateur (who can be a professional by the way) who records audio himself. The other source can be an existing radio station that offers some or […]
Actually, snooker time is almost over, since it’s already time for the final at the Crucible in Sheffield. If this makes no sense to you, you’re definitely not a snooker fan (and you can stop reading). I’ve been to the Crucible twice, to be honest. Well, it looks like Jimmy White - he’s many people’s […]
