Buy a lean key and support the FIRST BeNeLux leagues

Hi everyone,

Here a short message from the Gliding Dutchman.

I have developed the Lean Key, a cheap plastic tool, which makes it easier to loosen and tighten the height adjustment knob of the lean steer.

I would appreciate it if you would take a look at it and consider buying one or more lean keys. You can find them here: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/florin

of each item you buy, 1 euro (which is the complete profit), will be automatically transferred to the non-profit organization Stichting Techniek Promotie. They organize the FIRST Lego League and the Junior FIRST Lego League for the countries Belgium Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Thanks in advance for considering a purchase and supporting Stichting Techniek Promotie.

Kind regards,

Florin

I want to thank the complete +The Verge team for the great evening I had while attending your show. +Paul Miller good luck with your experiment.

This is a really interesting article, on one hand it confirms the rumors about Segway that existed for years.

But more important, it also tells the story how Segway has become profitable and that we can expect new model(s)/product(s) in 2012.

Now I have to put on my wishful thinking cap for the moment, wouldn't it be great if these new model(s)/product(s) would be available at the annual Segway enthusiast event, Me and My Segway, that would be awesome. Ok, enough wishful thinking for now. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.

10 Years Later, Overhyped Segway Transporter Is Still A Novelty But Making Money – Investors.com

Ten years ago, inventor Dean Kamen introduced the Segway, which Apple's Steve Jobs and Amazon's Jeff Bezos loved. It flopped, but is now making inroads.

Today is my birthday, I’m now 35 years old.

To celebrate this, I’m giving away 150 Google+ invitations. Grab them while they are hot.

Up to the next 35 years

Although I had clearly announced it on Facebook, some of my friends have missed all my messages (which is one of the bad habits of Facebook) and are wondering where I am?

I have said goodbye to Facebook and Hello to Google+, Facebook was already a pain in the neck for me a long time, it didn’t allow me to do whatever I wanted to do, uploading photos didn’t always work, etc. etc.

Besides my personal problems with Facebook, Facebook has also been too many times in the news, never with any positive news. I can’t remember that I have ever heard any negative news on GMail, oh no, once it was down for a few hours, but nothing happened, no messages or accounts were lost. That is quit impressive, to say the least. So that’s in short why I made the switch to Google+.

SO far I’m really liking the Google+ experience, at the moment of writing, I have 60 friends who are having me in their circles, so I can see what they are writing and they can see what I’m writing. Circles works a bit the same way as Twitter friendships. When I add somebody to one of my circles, I can see what he/she is writing. Only when the other person adds me to one of his/her circles he/she can read what I’m writing. This is of course handy for all the famous people on this planet, their fans can read what he/she is writing, but the list of status messages that the famous person sees is only filled with people that he/she is following, so there is no need for Fan Pages like Facebook has.

At the moment you can only Google+ by invitation, so find a friend and ask him/her to send you an invitation and join the fun.

Oh yes, for people who are wondering if I’m still on Twitter: Stop working that hard, have some more fun and try to stay up-to-date, I killed my Twitter account something like 1,5-2 years ago.
