Arthur van Hoff is out of
stealth mode and launched
Zing. Here is what
Gizmodo says:
Zing is partnering with Yahoo! and Sirius for their new player. The initial prototype includes 8GB of storage space that can be filled wtih music via a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or direct connection. Zing is trying to eliminate the need for a computer with portable media players by allowing for album downloads to come directly to the player via the Wi-Fi connection. Also the Zing player will have the ability to stream Sirius satellite music from the Wi-Fi connection—what?

This week I tagged along on yet another trade mission, this time with the Dutch secretary of foreign trade to Boston for
High Tech Connections.
On Sunday night we were invited to a buffet/banquet in the
Fogg Art Museum, part of Harvard, in Cambridge. After dinner we walked around, the first time I have ever been in an empty museum. It was unbelievable.

My body is back home in Amsterdam from a week full of heaven and hell. My mind is still caught somewhere in between.
It's Saturday, September 10, and cameraman Albert is up high on a Swiss alp filming the arriving Challengers.
On Sunday we had to floor it, driving from Switzerland through Italy to Slovenia, to keep within shooting distance of the most spectacular cars.

Last weekend belonged to Mystery Land. It was my first time and I won't soon forget it.

One of the main reasons I work with
ID&T is the international potential of dance music. I witnessed that potential Saturday night first hand in Gelsenkirchen, in the Arena Auf Schalke at
Sensation White Germany. The German dance fans were very responsive to the music and the show and the overall atmosphere was extremely pleasant and positive. Sensation White in Belgium was met with a similar enthusiastic response. Leaving at 11.30 pm and returning 7.30 am the next morning was all worth it.
There's light at the end of the tunnel...

Entering the Arena for
Sensation Black tonight, the scene resembled the set of a science fiction movie.
Up in the royal lounge, a proud father Cor Stutterheim chats with his son Duncan.

 It's the same feeling I had
the day of the Madrid bombings. These are absolutely senseless acts of violence. It's so sad that when we were in London a few months ago,
the security measures were a sort of premonition. And still there's nothing we can do to protect ourselves. The best way to show we will not surrender to terror, is by continuing to live our regular lives in the free world. London has
given that example before.

Dutch blogger Stephan Okhuijsen
reviewed the entire European constitution paragraph by paragraph, which was a more valuable service than any site offered by the EU or the Dutch government.
Looks like the French read his analysis.
