Time to tweak my race calender with a sixth race. On June 29, I will compete in the inaugural edition of the Eeklo Triathlon. An Olympic, non-drafting race with a 1000m swim leg, 38k bike leg and a 10k run. With only 200 starting slots, this race will sell out in no time. Register while you can.

Out with the old, in with the new. Let’s give the buy & hold strategy a breather and take my chances with some tracker funds. Main advantages: simplicity and breadth.

Some mixtapes never lose their oomph. Case in point: DJ Neil Armstrong‘s sample masterpiece. If you listened to hip hop in the 90ies, then I highly recommend this trip down memory lane. Trust me, your iPod needs this. Many thanks to the good people at the Laid Back Show for making the mixtape and playlist available.

MySpace founder Brad Greenspan has unveiled his latest UGC gizmo: LiveVideo.com, an “on demand interactive broadcasting platform” which allows users to stream content 24/7. Youtube just got blown out the water. Steve Nash used it last night as he drove home from his day at the hardwood office. Welcome to the world of direct fan interaction. And let’s hope Paris Hilton never hears about this.
