iPad drawing
So it seems my 6.5 years daughter enjoys the iPad more than I do. So what. Here's some work she's done on it :-)

Surround yourself with smart people
Just watched this and something from the speech has specifically drawn my attention: 'If you want to learn surround yourself with smart people'.
As I work mostly from home, physically I cannot really do that. And I asked myself how am I going to do this ? Am I doomed not to learn anything since I have decided to work as a self employed geek ?
The answer is that, somehow, in a pretty altered form indeed (but not necessarily worse), I am already doing this for a long time now. Just look into my hardcore tech contact list on Twitter. They are the most brilliant technology guys I know. Of course there are others, but those are the ones I've 'surrounded' me with :-) And it so much pays off.
That's one of the many things Twitter enables, in a extremely subtle and surprisingly innovative way. And that's what I advise all my friends to do (at least in the first phase) with Twitter, because 'social' is such a fuzzy term for too many of us :-)
