Anne-Britt from Spinnin’ Yarns is doing a project where she interviews people about their life stories. She currently spoke to ten people and I am lucky to be one of them.
This wiz-kid known as Joris Bruring quit his communication studies seven years ago and since then has become known as one of Amsterdam’s most promising fashion photographers.

Something special happened. Arend van Waart, architecture student at the TU in Delft, has followed my online communication and used this as a source for designing me a house. The design (and geographical location) of this house would perfectly suit the way I live my life. He used my Tweets, information he could find about me online and pictures I posted on Twitter or one of my blogs.
The best thing is: I didn’t even know he was working on this house! So it came as a big surprise when I heard I had a real “Twitterhouse”. I really feel honored that I’m one of the eleven people who got a Twitterhouse!
There’s a publication about the Twitterhouses and I’m featured in there as well. Go see it for yourself, but I really think he did an awesome job!

Together with @derique and thanks to @JohndenBraber I went to visit the Veldrome in Amsterdam for the Zesdaagse track cycling.
Some impressions made with my snapper below. I can’t wait to get introduced to track-cycling myself in January!
Because I got a new bike now (my beloved Cervélo S3) I’m selling my Trek.
It’s size 52 and if you’re interested please visit the ad on Marktplaats for more details.
