Presenting @ Mobuzz TV

Dailybuzzintro
Dailybuzzintro

As of today I will be the new host of the Dailybuzz on Mobuzz. Anil de Mello is an old friend and he needed a new host fast. He called me last week and asked if I would come down and help him with the show. "Of course!" I said. So I came down to Spain, got a tour, and started filming the shows right away. The whole team here is really fantastic. Spain is a lot of fun. It's perfect for me right now as well. I see this as an opportunity to reset and reload. New scenery, new people, new opportunities, because the last half year both privately and at work at XOLO Media drained me.

Those of you who know me are of course asking, what about XOLO Gabe? I'm still working as an advisor for XOLO, as well as other things. I still enjoy teaching Design for Virtual Theater and Games in Utrecht, working with the guys at cellspace on the Virtual Immortality project, and advising on the new Alternate Reality Game start-up Quest Away. AND I am just really psyched to be working at Mobuzz as well. Life treats you great sometimes! The whole team has really made me feel welcome, and today was really fun to get back into editorial and presenting in this fashion. I hope everyone will enjoy my personality on the show and I get to make a lot of new friends.

Go Vlog Yourself, and I'll see you on the dailybuzz.

P.S. Could anyone recomend some good teach yourself spanish podcasts? Leave a comment.

Climbing Again

Me and Viola

It's been a while since I've been climbing. I started when I was about 12 or 13 in Germany. GabeB started climbing with me for a hile, but I haven't really been since I broke my ankle a few years ago. Mainly because GabeB said he didn't really like it anymore. And I feel safer climbing with 2 people rather than 1.

All is not lost though. I ran into an old school mate Viola in Feb. by chance in Utrecht, and she had just gotten back from a 3 month climbing and hiking trip through Asia. We went for a couple of drinks and she was amazed to hear that I love the outdoors and love climbing. It was inspiring to hear her stories and we've been trying to go climbing since. Last week we did, and it was great fun! It's great to have a climbing partner again. Like Viola said everyone our age is a couple and it's cool to find someone as a climbing partner. And I have to say she is a better climber than me. In any case I got to get my climbing gear out again, and feel not so jealous of my buddy Rupert going to Turkey climbing for his vacation. So time willing I'll be doing more climbing now which is a nice supplement to the weekly yoga I'm doing. And I have to say it's getting me

back in shape. Since January I've lost about 15 kilos and reduced my body fat down to 13%. Mainly by diet, lots of going out and yoga.

I hope this inspires you to get out this summer and start doing some activities and enjoying nature again, if you don't already. If you want some more inspiration have a look at this video from Rupert that he posted about his climbing tour in Turkey. Rupert, let's go climbing together soon mate!

thnks fr th mmmrs

GabeB told me I should make something creative to purge the demons of my breakup with Tamara. So I decided to make this compilation film of photos and videos from our last 4 years together. Of course not everything is in here, there is so much on the net, but it was very good to do and reminded me of the good times. So thanks for the memories, and the lessons I have learned. Be kind in this purging of my soul.

Twitter dating First date archive

A little over a week ago I was at the Next Web conference. There I saw a girl that I knew online, but not offline. Marlooz (Marloes Veldhuizen). No for those of you who haven't been following the twitters of me of late, we've been having a true web 2.0 dating affair. I will take you through it all now... So I think the best start is a video which Marlooz posted about it to explain how it started.

Theater Festival Amsterdam

This is a short video of an acrobatics act that wrapped up the Theater Festival in Amsterdam. over 30 theaters were participating. There were more plays than you can throw a stick at. It's at the scale of the Edinburgh's festival, but that's where the organizers are headed. Amazing that they got no funding from I Amsterdam. This is the kind of festival that needs more attention from the city and from sponsors. For more information check the TF1 website.
