My Best Friend Girl
My favorite "Employee of the month" is hilarious in his new flick "My Best Friends' Girl" starring a Jason Biggs that is still slim...
Ocarina
The iPhone doesn't stop to amaze me: check out the Ocarina, the first real musical instrument (flute) for the iPhone. You blow into the microphone and play the "keys" ...
The 10,000-Hour Rule
Malcolm Gladwell, 45, author of The Tipping Point and Blink has an other hit: The Outliers about why some people are so successful. According to Malcolm success in any field has nothing to do
with talent. It's simply practice, 10,000 hours of it — 20 hours a week
for 10 years. Hmm... So I am great at Internet - sports - eating and...sleeping ;-)
In Frank's smoking place
With peter Paul I had lunch at Frank's Smoke House a unique place in Amsterdam where they smoke fish. You can really order any kind of fish you like - and they have it. We took a tour back stage. Normally a fish takes about 12 hours in the smoking oven. I liked the Mackerel best - it structure and taste was the best I ever had.
Run Keeper
RunKeeper allows you to track your runs and map and view progress in your running history making use of the GPS in my iPhone. It really is great - mapping my runs, keeping pace and keeping the score.
Paris by bike
While we are in Paris for the photo auctions we use the velo services to move arround: it is great and super fast!
google and the weird translation
I had an interview in the
Dutch Business Magazine Sprout. Because it is in Dutch I asked google to translate it..with very weird consequences...

We saw some interesting photography exhibitions in New York and met with Elliott Erwitt.
Jason Biggs is..uh...BIG!
Remember cute Jason from Amercian Pie? When I saw him this evening in his new of-broadway play: Boys he was not so cute anymore - he is FAT, old and rather ugly. The pay was ok though... ;-)
007 & me
Roger Moore was around the corner promoting his memoirs - so I dropped by to say hello. He recognized me immediately so I could leave Barnes and Noble without a signed copy...
Challenger 50 - I am in!
Sprout business magazine made a list of the 50 companies who are challenging their business competition with innovative concepts. Zomoto is one of them challenging the automotive industry to think about new ways of doing business.
Seth Rudetsky: LIVE!
When in New York at Thursday there's only one thing to do: Go to Seth Rudetsky's Broadway Chatterbox at Don't tell Mama. Seth invites some stars of the Broadway Musical scene - they chat and then sing some songs. We were very lucky that Seth invited Natalie Toro and Kevin Early - they are starring in Tales of the City - which due to the economic crisis will close in two weeks. It was fun and interesting to hear about life as a broadway star. The re-auditions, the 8 performances a week and the suddenly endings of shows. It is very tough. Natalie and Kevin sang brilliantly and Seth was A-Maz-ing: Brava! (what ever).
Broadway was empty by the way: restaurants were half full - tickets available. The crisis really struck hard here.

Atlantic City
On our way to New York we decided to stop at Atlantic City which is just rejuvenated with new casinos and a new pier. It was fun to spend some time there and to drive along the Atlantic ocean.
