I like to share my favourite section of the Washington Post, “Day in Photos“. It captures a good mood of all world affairs of a certain day, the photos are stunning, and it’s truly international. It displays happenings from all corners in the world, from the Americas and Europe to the Middle East, Africa and Asia pacific.
At this lovely sunny winter day it was time for the football derby in the Netherlands, AJAX - feyenoord (010) in Amsterdam. For the second time this season and the fourth time in a row AJAX outclassed 010 with 4-1! At this webpage you can find a photo report that truly captures the rivalry between AJAX and 010 fans, and the atmosphere around the match! Well done!
Lately I’ve been listening to a number of podcasts (this branch of internet-sport seems to be growing up a little bit) and one of my favourites are the talks given by entrepreneurs at the Stanford Technology Ventures Program. This program has set up Stanford Educator’s Corner, with a motherload of video, podcasts and other material related to entrepreneurship. Well worth a visit if entrepreneurship is your thing.
In addition, recently, all publications on the Wharton School online business journal, Knowledge@Wharton, can be broadcasted as podcast.

Today the second match of the Dutch play-offs, my club, Ajax fairly beat arch-enemy Feyenoord with 2-4 in their home city, Rotterdam. Last Thursday in Amsterdam, Ajax hit the ball out of the park to outclass Feyenoord in the Amsterdam Arena. It was one of the best matches this season played in the Arena and fortunately I was eye-witness

Luigi Di Serio is an “entrepreneur” who does “ad hoc writing, website development and theorising.” He also has a degree in Urban Planning, which, we suppose, makes him vaguely qualified to rank the world’s top skylines. Regardless, his list can serve as a good conversation starter. Notably, seven out of his top 10 are in Asia:
1. Hong Kong, China
2. Chicago, USA
3. Shanghai, China
4. New York City, USA
5. Tokyo, Japan
6. Singapore
7. Toronto, Canada
8. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
9. Shenzhen, China
10. Seoul, South Korea
As I’ve not been to all ten places on this list but a fairly seven, however, I can acknowledge that I totally agree with his top 3. Truly Hong Kong’s skyline is my ultimate favourite and looks even better during Chinese New Year, I am also in particular fond of all the modern skyscrapers and architectural “tour de forces” in Chicago.

Came across this article: Google: ten golden rules while I was searching for a place that printed thermo graphic invitations (believe it or not). If you’re interested in working at Google this is a good read. It talks about Google’s philosophy on hiring and treatment of its employees, straight from the horse’s mouth.
