Young Syndicated Entrepreneurs
In: Clarissa Alberg
27 Feb 2012While reading the book by John Gallaugher for my Business Information Management Class, one sentence caught my eye. “The intersection where technology and business meet is both terrifying and exhilarating. But if you’re under the age of thirty, realize that this is your space. While the fortunes of any individual or firm rise and fall [...]
How Dutch?
In: Aldona Bermudez
23 Feb 2012My Dutch friends think I’m very Latin and my Latin friends think I’m very Dutch. Having moved to the Netherlands at the age of 9, I feel both and neither. There are some things about Venezuela like the food, music, and warmth of the people (especially my family) that make me feel nostalgic. Venezuela is [...]

20 Feb 2012The EUR Memes page on facebook now has over 1600 likes and has over 2500 people talking about it.

Frozen in Time

16 Feb 2012As I ice-skated on the Rotte river on Sunday, I felt as if I was part of an illustrated European children’s storybook, mesmerised at the beautiful sight of the cute houses alongside the river covered in snow.

9 Feb 2012Today, I will be writing a little less about my personal life, and a little more about what’s been going on in Rotterdam. As you all probably know, last week was the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR). Films played in theatres all over town, and it attracted 274,000 visitors in total. My choice went for [...]
FREE Clarissa
In: Clarissa Alberg
6 Feb 2012I am already considering myself a criminal, but I am not in prison yet. But I suggest you all start making “Free Clarissa” shirts and at least mention my name a few times in your raps, because I just might be heading to prison if ACTA happens. Since my prestigious start at the IBCoM programme [...]
Adventurous Ways of Life
In: Aldona Bermudez
2 Feb 2012First of all, thank you for your appreciative comments—they fire me with enthusiasm to dedicate myself to writing this blog. Although I prioritise personal safety, my spirit of inquiry tends to draw me to unknown territories. This tendency is driven by some kind of deep-rooted notion that exploring the unfamiliar is the best way to [...]
