To live, to love, and to leave a legacy.

  • Social Bookmarking

    There are many and it seems to be popular, but I still don’t understand why I have not been using it (I did sign up & tried a couple, like: Technorati and Ma.Gnolia.com).

  • Purpose of Games

    The future of games (and perhaps even life): you have to play it to find out why you’re playing it.

  • Internet Hypes

    I personally believe that Web 2.0 is actually impossible to correctly call/name yet as we are currently in the midst of the changes (there is currently no real/disruptive innovation yet – only progressive innovation). Alas, Tim O’Reilly invented it and we all call it Web 2.0, so we are stuck with it. The new waves…

  • Manifesto for Agile Software Development

    While already published all over the web, I thought it worthwhile to repost it here. We have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.

  • Best Kept Secrets for corporate excellence as reported by Business 2.0

    Read my easy-to-understand bite-size summary-slogans to use for quick brainstorming.

  • Performance Variability

    Jacob writes about performance variability in his Alertbox. Interesting to read why it pay’s to hire a top 25 percentile programmer: he works 3 times as fast. Note to (future) employee’s, I won’t pay more, but I promise you we will give you what you want.

  • Keuring Overheidswebsites

    Minister Pechtold (Bestuurlijke Vernieuwing) wil dat de toegankelijkheid van websites van de rijksoverheid gecontroleerd gaan worden aan de hand van een bouwkeuring. Wij zijn er klaar voor!

  • Casa Nebunului

    Something I definately want to see sometime soon: I just found out the world’s 2nd largest building is located in Europe – thanks to Nicolae Ceauşescu.
