Since a few months I get to work with a Apple machine. And ever since, I am hooked. People at work, people in my neighborhood, everyone seems to switch to a Apple machine. And I know why they perform such a switch.
Once you start working with Mac OS X, you start a thrilling and spectacular ride. Everything works so much smoother and more intuitive as you’re known of in your previous operating system.
The only downside is the price of the Apple machines. A MacBook Pro is available from around € 1.800,-. For that money, I can buy quite a ‘ordinary’ laptop with far better specifications. But I’m convinced; my next machine will be a Apple machine, no doubt about that.
If you know a way to get me a new Apple notebook, by like sponsoring me, your comments are most welcome! I’m looking for a original way to get a sponsored Apple machine, any ideas are welcome!
The Next Web Conference was, like Ernst-Jan Pfauth called it, one rocking conference! Too bad I couldn’t be there this year, but it was great to follow the conference via the stream at their website.

Before the show started everyone was thrilled and the stakes where high. Some startups where a bit disappointing but far the most of it was worth joining the conference. One of my favorite startups, Wakoopa, eventually won a Next Web Award. Great job guys, you deserve it! Read more »

Some people find it hard to start and maintain a single blog. But as always, we have the people that want to do a little extra. Maintaining more than one blog takes skill and lots of time. But it can be worth all the effort, if done properly.

One of the pioneers in the world of blogging, is Darren Rowse. He maintains the number one blog about blogging, Problogger.net. But besides blogging about blogging, Darren maintains a second (large!) blog about digital photography at Digital Photography School.
Yes, Darren is a fulltime blogger, but at the same time a wonderful example of how to maintain multiple blogs at the same time. Read more »
Applications like LinkedIn never really got me going, until I started using it’s full potential. LinkedIn is a premium quality networking-tool, which is free to use, has tons of fancy features to use and connects you to new prospects, contacts and other people to do business with.
Once I started using the full potential of LinkedIn, I discovered a simple yet functional world that’s based on meeting new people and keeping in touch with relations and customers. Using LinkedIn can be a real boost of your career.
I was stunned when one of my connections contacted me via LinkedIn, which lead to a new assignment! The effort I had put in creating a quality LinkedIn profile paid of, in the first week of using LinkedIn! Read more »

Teamwork is something that has become more and more popular in the blogosphere lately and I’m also starting to let other people do some blogging. The largest blogs, with the most (quality) postings per week are blogs that have several skilled authors that works together as a great coordinated team.
Off course, as in nearly anything, there are several things to keep in mind when you start letting other people post their articles on your blog. Most of these things apply to using guest posters for your blog as it basically comes down to exactly the same idea. Read more »
The best news this week and it’s only Tuesday! Microsoft announced that Internet Explorer 8 will render pages via the super standards mode by default. By doing this, Microsoft listens to the critique that has fallen over the company in the past few weeks, when it announced that Internet Explorer 8 would render in the Internet Explorer 7-way by default.

Via a special HTML-tag in the sourcecode of HTML pages, developers are able to switch between the rendering-modes the new browser houses. Microsoft implemented this function in order to make old files, not written by standards, renderable in the new browser.
But why should we adapt our browser, to people who are unable to write HTML following the standards? Thanks to Microsoft, we don’t have to. Hopefully the new ’super standards mode’ will actually follow the standards and I’m no longer shouting at people who are still using Internet Explorer, instead of Firefox or Opera to test their HTML pages!
Normally I’m not into gaming, but Lego Universe has something that makes my mind go around. Old times live on again. Who hasn’t played with Lego when you were in your childhood?

Toymaker Lego is trying to make the company stand out of the crowd, by implementing some features in the new to develop game, by merging the real world with the virtual reality world.
