“Laten we nu eens ophouden met dat rare Engels van...
[shared via Google Reader from Lamahange] In de Volkskrant is net een artikel gepubliceerd met als titel: “Laten we nu eens ophouden met dat rare Engels van ons.” De strekking is dat, hoewel we allemaal Engels proberen te praten—en onszelf enorm op de borst kloppen over onze geweldige talenknobbels—het eigenlijk totaal onhandig is.

Amazon's long-term thinking
[shared via Google Reader from kottke.org] Amazon is somewhat of an unusual company for American investors because it focuses on the long-term (10- 20-year timelines) instead of the short-term (quarterly earnings). “If everything you do needs to work on a three-year time horizon, then you’re competing against a lot of people,” Mr. Bezos told reporter Steve Levy last month in...

Milaan!
[shared via Google Reader from Lamahange] Afgelopen weekend ben ik met Iva en Jan naar Milaan gegaan om Geertjan te bezoeken, wat natuurlijk supergezellig was. Ik heb niet heel veel foto’s genomen, maar hier is toch een kleine greep. Het was in ieder geval best leuk om te zien waar hij woont, want Milaan zelf blijkt niet zo heel toeristisch te zijn. Toch hebben we nog even een kleine sightseeing...
