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

  • RIP: Milton Friedman

    While I have not yet read any of his books, I have always greatly admired and appriciated the man. Right now I am watching the “Free to Choose” video-excerpts on some website – it is amazing how Libertarian he was and how he influenced people like Arnold Schwarzengger with his consice message of liberty.

  • Vendor Relationship Management

    Might this new VRM buzzword replace advertising and crumble products like AdSense?

  • Life is simple (again).

    Eve Ensler is the playwright of The Vagina Monologues and The Good Body and founder of the global movement V-Day, which is working to end violence against women and girls. In a presentation from TED2004 she mentioned a fundamental truth that immediately made my life so much easier: when we give in the world what…

  • Simple Society

    As a long-time member of the Simple Society and the Alliance for Human Empowerment I now see my vison for PKU become more clear. While I believe in the Capital Homesteading concept that was developed by The Center on Economic and Social Justice, I still have a hard time combining this with my strong Libertarian…

  • Social Bookmarking

  • 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. Working software over comprehensive documentation. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation. Responding to change over following a plan. That is, while there is value in the items on the…

  • BirthDay 28

    Wishes (besides the big things like a new laptop, car, suit, etc): air filter (anti-allergic), track suit, electric razor (with trimmer), a subscription to The Economist (magazine), high quality white t-shirts, toys for Ceza, socks, Amrit Kalash or other Ayurvedic products. You’re welcome in Zwolle on Sunday Juli 2nd.

  • African proverb

    Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped. It struk me so damn hard when I read it in David Allen’s newsletter I actually sat back in my chair and “saw the light” … albeigth just for a second, but it was there … cristal clear. It is not that I fell (or…

Got any book recommendations?
