I was hanging out with a friend on Queen's Night couple weeks ago and he mentioned that he noticed I hadn't updated my blog in a while. Aaahhh, the sober reality of having a full-time job that doesn't involve using a still camera for months. (except the random moments of my travels around Europe which is all you've seen from me in months)

What have I been doing? I've been working on creating and launching an Internet-based news show called XM News for a magazine publisher SC Multimedia based in Amsterdam. There's not really anything comparable for the thousands English speakers new to the Dutch language and the Netherlands. It's been a fascinating project to work on, not to mention a crash course in Dutch politics and current events. It's also been a blast to join forces with sketch comedy actor/writer Greg Shapiro who has been the main host of the show (and whom I will dearly miss).

My involvement with the show has sadly come to an end, though. I am moving back to the United States in a couple weeks. The news show is taking a break to figuring out phase two and how to best serve its audience. Success!
