Friendship and what old friends mean to me
I am a very social person and know a lot of people. My network is quite extended, and I especially have a very wide network of acquaintances. These are the people I can’t really consider as friends, but I still call them if I need something, or I would be happy to approach them for something. While it is nice to have acquaintances, there is something endearing about old friends.

The recent fuzz about wikileaks and the power of the attacks have made something very clear to me: This is a war – not in a physical way, but in a non-physical way – a war of information. It’s not just about a website. It’s about the future development of our society. And there is something very precious to protect: Our freedom.

Due to my visability on the Internet for such critical issues as Prezi on the iPad or Fullscreen Flash with dual monitor setup – I often have to disguise myself in real life. I usually do not change my name. Why whould I?
I just mumble I bit more than I usually do. It works just fine.

A world without mistakes. Wouldn’t we all say that this is the ultimate attainable goal that we should strive for? Just imagine what would that would mean, a world without mistakes. What would that mean in our day to day life? That would mean a world without change. If there were no mistakes, then everything would be perfect. However, if everything would be perfect all the time there would be no chance for improvement, because we wouldn’t know what to improve. We would have a lack of information.

Dutch-German: Cultural Differences
First let me say that it’s not right to talk about the Dutch or the German people, because every country and tribe has very different people in them. However, there are general tendencies, or stereotypes, and it’s just interesting to think about cultural differences. So here come some thoughts:

People that inspire me: Cilia Witteman
Professor Dr. Cilia Witteman was my supervisor on my master thesis for my master of behavioral science. She is an extra ordinary woman who seems to achieve academic success within ease I have not known before. Let me tell you a little bit about her first. I’m not sure if about the chronological order but it doesn’t really matter.

Learning what it means to be online all the time
I have had my iPhone for a while now. One thing I discovered is that it has some kind of profound influence when I am online all the time. For example, the meebo apps allow me to manage everything: my ICQ, MSN, facebook account. Thus I get a lot of notifications in my iPhone.
Lesson learned
Everyone saw that I am always online. They message me and I don’t reply because I thought it will show when I’m not there. I also thought that after some time, the status will revert to offline. However, that was actually not the case. I did communicate to other people, but I frustrated some people whom I was unable to reply to.
I have learned my lesson. I will only put the add-on if I’ m really available on the iPhone. That was a good learning experience for me, because that taught me that it’s probably not a good idea to be online all the time in a synchronous media. People expect you to react.
