My resume on Linkedin


I like meeting new people and talking with them, creating new things.

What I like to watch
- The Daily show
- The Colbert report
- Lost
- Prison Break
- Battlestar Gallectica

What I like to read
I like to read books that teach me new skills or new insights in problems.  I hardly read any fiction lately.
Some books I read recently:
- Emergence, the connected lives of ants, brains, cities, and software
- The wisdom of crowds
- The tipping point
- Blink
- I'm ok, you're ok
- Defensive design for the web
- Hidden order, how adaption builds complexity
- All marketers are liars
- Becoming evil, how ordinary people commit genocide and mass killing

Our contact form
I implemented a new feature of Google Docs; you can now create forms using it. Untill we created a good feedback form in our own design, I've implemented the Google Docs form at our contact page.
Google ranking
Our Google ranking seems to increase for the Dutch words 'goede doelen' (charities) and 'goed doel' (charity).
When I searched for those terms Dec 27th 2007, Helpalot showed up on page 21 and 28. Now on March 30, Helpalot shows up on page 10 and 7.
I didn't track 'charity projects in Decembers, but now iwe show up on page 10. Let's see if we can see this grow :).

An interesting article on Facebooks news feeds.
http://chimprawk.blogspot.com/2008/01/social-network-clutter.html
I'm rather new to Facebook and I'm getting tired of it rather quickly, because of the clutter in the newsfeed.
I decided I wanted to share a bit less and changed my 'relationship status' to nothing. A friend immediately assumed I had a relationship with someone and asked what was up with that.
That made even more clear to me that I don't want to share stuff like that on a social network. I don't want to micro-manage my communication to my friends about my current status. I have stuff to do, who knows, perhaps even things I like to keep private.
