Packing for a summer vacation in Greece. Can't wait to go!
@stoweboyd at the same time we tell little lies in a feeble attempt to stay close to those that are important to us ;-)
@locuta zorg dat je een plu hebt, hier in Amsterdam regent het al ;-)
Net door tig kilometer file gereden. Ongeluk op de A8. De vraag is of dat erg was. Mijn auto heeft airco. mijn werkplek helaas niet :-)

"Not sure if another summize will do the trick. Bing and Google will have t come with something better than that. And indexing "A" tweeters is totally lame." - Alexander van Elsas
Re: What solutions should people be offering for the Real-Time Web in 2009? - http://www.joshchandlerblog.com/2009...
"Josh, I agree that the real-time web can provide interesting new possibilities. But the BS part of my post was more aimed at the hype created around it by us geeks. The average Joe will not understand nor care about this. There are way more important things to resolve (i.e. getting me the right information at the right time) ;-)" - Alexander van Elsas
Re: What was Scoble doing on an aircraft carrier? @flynavy knows - http://scobleizer.com/2009...
"I'll take this post any day over any Friendfeed conversation Robert. Excellent! Keep it up, you can do both, I'm sure ;-)" - Alexander van Elsas
Re: This is why we read blogs, and people like Scoble - http://www.shootingatbubbles.com/index...
"Couldn't agree more Steven. I don't think it is one or the other. But Blogging is just not comparable with the services FF or Twitter provide. Good example of Scoble's blogpost btw, explains the difference very well :-)" - Alexander van Elsas
@mathys And I replied back on your post . Show me a real need and I'll take my words back ;-)

Themes are quickly becoming useless if everyone uses clients to get to a service
The best theme in Friendfeed is no theme. Enough clutter already. Helvetica approaches that best imo - Alexander van Elsas
Firefox 3.5 is fast, and the video support looks pretty cool to me. Amazing though that many addons didn't become 3.5 compatible on time :-(
Is downloading Firefox 3.5 right now
Early start at the office. Coffee nearby
@kickstand It's actually extended A but, what the heck we're very happy with it ! ;-)
Back home. Had a great flight. Now fighing against jetlag. Need to stay awake for at least another 7 hours ;-)
@aaslekar thanks :-)
Ready to fly back to Amsterdam. Amazing trip. Palo Alto feels like home. But home is where my family is, and that is where I'm heading now!
Morning. I finally got a good night rest. No more jetlag. Of course, tomorrow I'll fly back home so.... ;-)
had lunch with my good friend @nvineberg at the Grove in SF, excellent!
Had an insane night. Got called 6 times in the middle of the night. Still managed to get some sleep. Now coffee and preparing first meeting
@TheRoel Thanks :-)
It's been an extremely long day. Worked for about 20 hrs. I seriously need to get some sleep
Finished what I had to do in Palo Alto. Now on my way to San Francisco
