Used my Iphone to great effect this trip. Not only for the usual stuff (photo’s, information, email, location tracking, …) but also to connect my laptop to the ‘net so I could do project management stuff while on board.

For I started managing a project for V2_institute in Rotterdam -STARTS4Water. It is a European initiative under the S+T+Arts umbrella [here]. V2_, lovingly styled ‘Lab for the Unstable Media” is an interdisciplinary center for art and media technology in Rotterdam. They sit at the interface of art, technology and society – what’s not to like? I’ve long admired them from a distance, and the opportunity to work with them on the Dutch part of STARTS4Water is exiting.

I’ve been wanting to try working-on-the-go for the longest time … Now that we have an adequate battery and connector on board it was feasible to do a try-out. As I am able to tune out everything around me, and concentrate fiercely on the task-at-hand, it worked for me :)

So – yes, I’ve become a digital nomad!
