Just wondering what each ones work flow for Google Wave is.. 

I have at the moment 2 favorite views.. 
  • One with 3 to 4 conversations open. This is for the moment I'm really into the productivity and need to collaborate with everyone..
  • One with no conversations visible but all hidden into the top from the page. This is the moment when I leave I like to have everything clean and I can see when I come back which ones had comments on them. It is indicated in Green ;)

Which one is yours??

Give me a feedback in the comments or on Google wave…  jaapwillem at googlewave dot com

French Pharmacies

Just saw the other day this picture in my library and every time I'm always intrigued. 

I don't know, but it gives me always a very warm feeling to see one. It looks like one out of the old cartoons where it still is like it used to be during the beginning of the 1900… 
So I would like to introduce you this edited photo from a french pharmacy, made in a cartoonish style image. 

Let me know what you think, 

Cheers Jaap Willem

Yahoo HATES PUBLIC opinion

Now I think it's becoming more and more official.. And I think it's a real pity but Yahoo HATES public opinion. 

I write this article with boiling blood, because Yahoo is taking more and more control over Flickr and they clearly do not understand the Flickr motivation. 
Way back in the time we loved Flickr because they where cutting-edge and had a great community .. 
Now the community is going down.. more and more people are moving towards other sites, like SmugMug and even Picasaweb.. 
From a technical point of view, few things have changed lately, the last major addition is the addition of Video.. and that only for 1:30 minutes.. 

Lately there's a trend from Flickr to start to intervene into community discussions, one of the biggest fails was the Laughing clown which was similar to Obama. Now the latest is the erasing of posts and intervention within the Yahoo groups..
So I would like to refer to this article from Thomas Hawk and face the facts that Flickr soon will be a community without community.. 

Give it a look and share this with your friends, colleagues etc.. and stop using Flickr, there are many more interesting photo sites on the internet.. 

Cheers Jaap Willem

Amsterdam Street Images.
The following images are a few images I took during the car-free Sunday in September in Amsterdam.

It's really nice to see that the people took their living room to the street to make a statement about the use of the streets.
True, normally the weather ain't that good that it's possible but still, it's great. I think it's as well about the spirit in Amsterdam that when there's something going on, the whole city center is enjoying the party. Anyone who have been at a Queensday knows how the party can be.

So I would like to invite you guys to this small selection of edited images from Amsterdam and the living room on the streets. At the end we always have the blue cushion to sit on, isn't?? To enjoy the beautiful sight over the Canals.

If you are in Amsterdam, just try to stroll around and enjoy the spirit of the city, you'll be positively surprised.

In the city they all have their own official locations with their own Address. Due to the fact that the places are limited the prices have risen on the same rate as the Real Estate on the ground.
