When I wrote about this now closed Berlin object of art/experimental one room billboard hotel in December 2007, I didn’t imagine that people would actually sleep in it. I visited it in March when I was in Berlin for ITB Berlin. Henri Roelings, who is one of the guys behind WiWiH (Who Is Who […]

After trying to get some things done and staying away from Twitter this week a bit, I just logged on and got a first hand report from my Blogging friend Hjortur Smarason of Marketing Safari that Reykjavik just had a 6.7 Richter scale earthquake.

I am almost certain Twitter is not over its capacity because […]

That’s a good idea: Open an architectural monument for a stay! Then you can enjoy the look and feel of the creation of the architect.

After three conferences with dedicated sites, the initiators of Tips from the T-List decided to start a more permanent site.
The site and its lay out need urgent attention imo!

My main complaint is that the RSS feeds don’t work as they should: During a certain period of time they produced duplicate content. That has been taken […]

Update May 20, 2008
In order to prevent confusion: Hotelblogs.org is not my site. I was checking it out and found this screen. Whatever it means this Turkish group wants to achieve. It seems the site owner is sound asleep. Also I wanted to share me finding Kwout which […]

I have to get this post off my chest, be it for mere reference for myself, but also as preparation for the tagging of the many photos I took and uploaded already.
Here are the travel bloggers that were listed for the Berlin ITB Bloggers summit:

Ram Badrinathan • PHOCUSWRIGHT • (India)
Ram commented that only recently he […]

It was Lorella Van Fossen (from her name I guess she has Dutch ancestry), avid WordPress advocate, who drew my attention to Woopra with her post Whooping Woopra Blog Statistics Program, starting as follows:
I’m rarely totally and completely blown away by anything, and yesterday at Dallas WordCamp, John Pozadzides (of One Man’s Blog, who works […]

Always when I want to process some of my pending posts I stumble on something that draws my attention: This time a photo of a beheaded KLM airplane:

Which made me think:”How long will this National Pride of The Netherlands live as a separate brand after the take over by Air France?”

In an initiative to unite the power of bloggers around the world BlogCatalog has launched BlogCatalog - Blogging For Hope, an initiative to pay attention to human rights worldwide.
I second the initiative and would like to address three items myself:

I would like all Authorities to reconsider their post 9/11 madness with fingerprinting everyone and everybody […]

I am glad I don’t have to fly a lot and certainly not in an airplane bathroom, but the USA is world famous for its frivolous litigating and this is just another example in my opinion:
According to Associated Press, via MSNBC, a New York citizen is suing JetBlue Airways Corp. for more than $2 million […]

The Amsterdam College Hotel Front

Some of my prior posts in the Dutch Design category I forgot to number. I found the correct number:-)
Dutch designers Colin Finnegan and Gerard Glintmeijer of FG Stijl have had a important influence in the design of the Amsterdam College Hotel. I now have access to press material from their site […]

Like a Local is a sited developped by fellow Dutchman in order to accomodate the traveler who wants to enjoy the real couleure locale (French for local circumstances).
