Clubbin'
Last night has been great, we went to this rather small, but very nice, club in Rotterdam. There have been so many story’s on this club. Mainly about the crowd, so I was sceptic. But when we entered the club everything was nice, and within 5 minutes I knew the story’s weren’t true. The DJ was not bad, but the music was all the same. So after a while we ended up with the feeling...

Real Saturday!
Heh, today has been a real saturday. I needed to do all sorts of small tasks in and around my house. Got up quite early and did some shopping and other stuff in the mall. Afterwards we cleaned the kitchen and did some dishes. For now I’m taken a small break and started thinking of restyling my room again. Tonight me, my girlfriend and roommates are going to hit the city. I think we’ll...
Mac Rumors: Apple in Online Film-Rental Deal with... →
Recently I took a look at Apple TV, I think at the moment it’s not that big of a deal (without hacking it it’s a pretty useless box of chips). With cheap 30-day rentals coming to the Apple TV it will become interesting. Certainly because it can be made available across the world, immediately. Should this be the end of movie releases limited to a region (like the Hollywood productions...

Tumblr Search
Sometimes I’m sad that I can’t search people’s tumblrs. I’m sure this is a feature in the works, but today I was impatient and bored. These two things combined prompted me to script up a little javascript search using the tumblr API. As you can see on my tumblr site www.jacobd.com I have a little search box, as you type results will pop up! It’s not perfect, and...

Christmas is a secular holiday
I’m sick of religious media commentators being up in arms about the perceived secularization of Christmas. I agree that materialism is out of control in our culture, but humans all over the world have been celebrating the winter solstice time since long before Jesus. Roland Martin recently said, “we should continue to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season.” Well,...

The Zen of Shaving: How a Double-edge Razor Can... →
I would give it a try when I leave college. 100 dollar on a shavingblade, damn. This is what my ritual looks like: - Apply shaving foam to face - Shave it of with strikes downwards (not shaving against growing angle of the hairs) - Whipe face of - Apply 2 in 1 shaving balm from Rituals - Go for round 2 shaving against the grow angle of the hairs - Whipe face of and apply a little aftershaving...
Getting Ink
There’s a fantastic post on Signal vs. Noise today on “Getting Ink” where the folks at 37signals share their tips on getting some good buzz around your company and products. Here’s the list in short: Provide something of value. Know your hook. Stand for something. Get your face out there. Try to build real, sustained relationships. It’s the message, not the amount you spend on it. Give stuff...

Strange this happen on the internet, I wonder why somebody is willing to pay this for a normal game. I can think of many other ways to promote yourself on eBay.
