I was at the dentist this morning for a regular check-up. Imagine my surprise when I leaned back and all of a sudden was watching RTL Vandaag on a television screen above my head. Appearantly, things are changing at one of the least customer-centric environments. lees verder…

Had lunch at De Bakkerswinkel this weekend, Roelof Hartstraat 68 in Amsterdam Zuid. My girlfriend heard of this place yesterday and said I would love this.

Riding our bikes through the Roelof Hartstraat, I have to be honest I was doubtful. I know this area pretty well and biked through this street a million times. Just as we left the better part of the street behind us, there it was. An unusual place for a lunch place with character. lees verder…

Did anyone buy one of these? Should I sell my N95? I hope not. The life of a gadget freak is hard enough as it is….

So what do you do when after a day of hard work, you can’t visit the driving range because of the bad weather?

One of my colleagues got his hands on a Wii game computer. So yesterday, after office hours, we explored the wonders of virtual sports. Below you see one of my colleagues in a boxing match with a character named ‘Marco’. We also played some tennis and hit the fairways. Not bad for a regular Wednesday evening…..
