Good beer. Dutch people everywhere. Conclusion: I’m ready to move here.

The conference is on “Markets are conversations” and all around the hall they’ve stuck sheets, each with a different thesis from Cluetrain.com. Maybe it’s just the jetlag, but my first impulse is to scribble wiseguy comments on them. If only I were Rageboy…
