Hi all! As with every week, first, a quick look back at the week. Here in the Netherlands, Kings Day was there, and I celebrated it for the first time in 25 years or so in Rotterdam (or better said, not in Amsterdam). That had a special reason. Partly as

Hi! As expected, AI is all over SXSW this year. I am not following everything; that would be more work than being there. But I regularly look at a group of Dutch participants keeping a group blog with their experiences. And the regular social media posts, of course. On other
Hi all, Last week’s newsletter had a couple of wrong links; I was pointed to me (thanks, Harm). Luckily it turned out that only some of the links were in the introduction and update, so I chose not to send an updated newsletter. Of course, I corrected it in
