I haven't been blogging as much as I should have been, so I figured it is time for some catch up posts. Before hitting the DLD conference with GABEB I went out with JAG. I've only been talking with JAG online, and it was so great to finally meet her in person. We had a great night dancing at the Escape in Amsterdam thanks to a couple of free tickets from Pensly. Here is a short video of dancing. Ok, it is one of my, "I don't care" video styles. But still nice. I'm sure there are a lot of jealous guys out there going to look at this. All I can say about JAG is that she is one of the coolest people you will ever meet.

During DLD Yossi Vardi and Gabe Mac get to conduct a 4 string quartet in their own styles thanks to Itay Talgam. This video is best watched with headphones.
There is a guilty pleasure that really comes out in Flickr. Anonymous voyeruism. I noticed that some complete strangers have been faving certain pictures of mine for some time now. I could not figure out whether it was a stalker, or just some sad lonely person as there is nothing in the profiles to understand who it is. Then after digging deeper I think I discovered it. It is like a game almost. In my search for why or what it is... I discovered the stories. Clicking randomly on commenters, seeing thier favorites and making huge leaps and jumps starting from my own anonymous voyeuers, I begin to make a story together. A weaving through the reaches of cyberspace, to create a story in my head, based on the click of the mouse and my own A.D.D. to guide me. Here is a small glimpse into the stories you can piece together.
MAke your own story, and let me see.... Add a link in the comments.
I'm having fun with some flickr tools today. Here is a quick sample.
Got this in my e-mail today...
Sometimes we try to be cool like Han Solo to get the women. But it doesn't always work out...

I had a birthday Party in Amsterdam this past weekend. It was excellent having so many friends old a new come. Thanks to everyone for coming and sending tweets and facebook messages wishing me a happy birthday. It was a great birthday. Love you all!
For VlogEurope we usually do some kind of excursion. The reason is we are vloggers and like to get out and record things rather than sit inside listening to powerpoint presentations. This year we were split into teams. I was in the A Team along with BicycleMark and Isabelle (who had never vlogged before but was curious about it so came along). We had the most excellent day walking around Budapest, seeing things, taking shots, sharing stories and learning more about eachother. Well Mark and I already know a lot about each other as we are neighbours in Amsterdam, and friends for years, but it was so nice to meet Isabelle. We all became friends that day. And thanks to vlogging, we have the video to remember those moments when our friendship started to bloom. Here is the vlog that BicycleMark edited together.
