Touching the sand in the sandbox

So many things, so little time. So I will try to keep it edible. Last week has been very stressfull the birth of reclaimmagenta and the death of a buisnessplan. Not really the death, we successfully managed to finish the plan with a lot of utopian woordpooping from my side. But the investers didn't buy it. Or to be said better, they liked it but they suggested we should try to look for investments somewhere else.

ReclaimMagenta was a great succes, over 10.000 visters in one week from day one. We are almost up to a 1000 petitions by now. Meanwhile I really havent had the time to keep it evolving, and therefore freemagenta.nl smelled cash came in and stole our pride. No need to be having war on who has the best initiative, it's all for the sake of magenta. Only the part of money making over this annoys me. This remembers me of a quote I stumbled upon a couple of days ago. "I am the modern day robin hood, stealing from the rich, giving to the poor and keeping a little for myself". Im the brokest motherfucker in town, but still, I keep my values.

For the rest things are going pretty well, doing lots of freelance stuff and adding some value to Hyper here and there (which is another blogpost worthy writing about). But somedays I feel a bit displaced when I hear stuff going down in my old natural habitat from my friends. The best I heard this week as Bram msnd me: "I met Guus and Stephan the other day, they told me: 'are you coming to the party at Coen and Kasper's home next week in Breda' and I(bram) said : but they dont live there anymore? they answerd:'No but were still invited'". I am happy to hear my housemates keep the Weerijssingel 15 legend going :). Way too bad I can't be there..

A new module started, and it started of with a bang. I really enjoyed Greg's lecture today. He learned us how to start playing again. I have to get myself a new sandbox. But he lost me when it got tedious in the end. My focus wanderd off and I started to enter a half sleeping half awake state of mind. Therefore his words entered my mind but created other words than he actually was saying.

I here some echos down in the hall saying: "Goodnight, see you tomorrow, you are the only one left now!".

So thats a good reminder that I really need to go home, grab a beer and get some sleep. It will be early tomorrow and it will be early the whole week. And loads of extra work has to be done, so maybe this is the first and the last update this week, you better enjoy it.
