Flickr Vouyeruism

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.

What Next? post Mobuzz

A lot of people have been posting and asking what happened at Mobuzz. I can not say I have the whole story. I know that there was investment that was said to come in, but at the end of the day, the golden rule is don't beleive it until it is signed and th money is on an account. That is about as much detail as I've got. I mean this happens. Many startups have problems with investors. I know we did at XOLO.TV as well. It's not a new thing, it doesn't mean that money was thrown around all over the place, it just means that sometimes thiese things do not work out. Angel investors are people and have egos and opinions and ideas. And like my father says, "opinions are like assholes, everybody has got one." So what to do? Well, I've been offline for a bit, becuase I've got no internet at my apartment. Didn't feel like getting into a year contract if I wasn't sure I was going to be staying at the small overpriced room for more than a year. So I'll be heading to Le Web, and after that I'll be heading to the States to see my family for the holidays. In that time I will be responding to emails, looking around, thinking about how to start something new possibly, but anything is possible at the moment. Will I stay in Spain? Time will tell. Will I do something with video online? Probably. Will it be another startup? More than likely. In the meantime, I am doing some consulting for some clients, lots of creative work, reevaulating the online media space, editing a bunch of videos that have been sitting on the shelf, waiting for me to get to them, and thinking about if I want to settle down and where that may be if at all.

I have had a great time and expereince here in Spain. It was great to work with Cedric, Anil, Osiris and all the mobuzz team.

Whatever happens next I am sure it will be something that I beleive in, and I am passionate about. That is the driving force. I hope that all the fans and friends follow whatever that may be.

I do want to thank every one for the support and the love that they have shown.

Peace and love-

Go Vlog Yourself!!!!

Whatever happens

Whatever happens with Mobuzz and it's future, I know one thing is sure. I will continue with teaching, educating, fighting and spreading the word of internet tv, video blogging, and the freedom of expression in the audio visual form without borders and censors. It has been my passion for the last 8 years and I do not see it stopping anytime soon. I am not saying that Mobuzz is dead. Quite the contrary, I am seeing how powerful and beautiful this campaign to Save Mobuzz, and the affect for positive it has had. The comments and the support has brought me to tears more than once. Whatever happens, I thank you all. It has given me more than you can imagine.

Peace, love, and keep on buzzn!

MyBirthday

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!

Food in spain

I really am starting to enjoy the food on Spain. I noticing I am eating less, but tastier. Classic example is this cake I had one morning that was exactly like my great grandma's pound cake recipe. It was like going back to my youth. Delicious! Off to have some dinner now with Olivia. Hmmmm. Hunger is growing already.

Climbing Again

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.
