Effective use of social media tools

June 28, 2009 by R.R. Nederhoed

This news item shows how social media tools can be applied to reconstruct dramatic events. It’s an enlightening example of accidental collaboration using mobile phones and services such as Twitter.

Needless to say: we had a good laugh.

Klein Geluk

June 17, 2009 by R.R. Nederhoed

Margie: “Ik wordt juist gelukkig van kleine dingen. Bijvoorbeeld een hommel”.

Een memorabel moment op ons dakterras, waar een wilde klaver zich heeft gevestigd in de pot van een andere plant.

(Margie: “Especially small things make me happy. A bumble-bee for example”.)

Evening photoshoot with Margie (and more)

May 22, 2009 by R.R. Nederhoed

Margie and I went for a walk in the evening sun. We had a mission: try out my new SLR camera. I’m very pleased with the resulting photography. And how I love Flickr! My PC is still busy uploading… we took 300 pictures of which about a hundred passed our judgment.

What do you think?

Restored balance

March 14, 2009 by R.R. Nederhoed

Okay, I’m almost back. After a few months of too much work and no play, combined with no sporting (painful knee), the revival of a nasty habit (smoking) and hardly any motivation to cook a healthy meal, I seem to have refound a balance.

Two weeks ago I stopped smoking and stopped working long hours. I even took some days off. Today I will be running the 10km CPC in The Hague. As a preparation I have been on a high-protein diet and trained regularly. With results:

last 3 months

last 30 days

Oh I have to leave. The run starts in 2 hours, wish me luck!

Where is my mind?

I just love this song originally by the Pixies. Especially this version, since I also love Placebo.

On Youtube I collect decent versions in a special playlist. In case you’re interested.

Just a note to let you know I will be staying in Montpellier for three weeks to improve my French language skills. The weather is fine, life is good!

If you’re interested, have a look at some photos I took today.
