What is your TEDx job?
I feel like the luckiest person in The Netherlands to be awarded the license for TEDx in Amsterdam. This year I founded the Stichting TEDxAmsterdam together with Monique van Dusseldorp and Marian Spier. My official title there is president (voorzitter).

Your Favorite TEDtalk?
I have many. My iPhone contains up to 60 talks in MP3 that I listen to during commuting. At this moment John Hodgman’s “A brief digression of time ” is my favorite. His timing, his choice of words is brilliant. Can’t listen to that one enough.
What would you speak about during your 3 minute TEDx Talk?
At TED 2009 (Long Beach) I had the pleasure to give a 6 minute talk. It was about “living without the Internet”. Right now I would like to share some results of my new research.
