I (HEART) Twitterborrels
As you might have noticed I am quite the Twitter fan. So you can imagine how upset I was when my overloaded work schedule made me miss out on the Twitterborrel (check the Twitionary). Fortunately rendering my videos takes forever, so while my MacBook Pro was rendering it's little butt off, I snuck out and joined my fellow Twitterazi @ bar Schuim* for a drink or two. The dutch Twitterazi were easily recognized, since they lit up the bar with their cellphones. There was a big turn-out, we drank, we laughed, had our awkward twitter-moments (asking who is this @whatshisname, when you have been talking to him for the past ten minutes) and there was a lot of tweeting going on.
I didn't bring my video camera, but in the ninety minutes I was there I took some pictures which I turned in to a little video for your enjoyment. Who says Twitterers don't have a life?
*Which means foam, like the two fingers of foam the dutch like on their beer.

How many Tweets does it take..
It's funny to see the difference in the use of Twitter between The United States and The Netherlands.
What is a good number of tweets before you become a Noisy Person?
According to the Twitetiquette by Caroline Middlebrook, "there is no absolute number and it varies according to your audience. Generally speaking, I would try not to update more than once per hour so in a standard day, that’s probably no more than a dozen."
This in contrast to the Dutch way of twittering, where everybody is tweeting as much as they can to make it to 10.000 tweets, which oddly enough is considered some kind of status symbol...
I must admit I've been a Noisy Person every now and again, and for all you foreign Twitterers out there who want to follow me, please do, but at own risk. As will be mentioned below, I have twitversations with my fellow twitterazi, so you'll get a lot of twaffic on your tweetline, which will sound like twitterish to you. Side effects: can drive you twitting mad!
OMG! You speak Twitter?!

I (HEART) Californication
.jpg)
Official website
californicationwiki
On the heels of the unprecedented audience and critical acclaim of its new original comedy series CALIFORNICATION, starring David Duchovny, SHOWTIME has renewed the series for a second season. The first season of CALIFORNICATION premiered on August 13th and has seen its audience steadily grow, becoming one of the highest-rated series on SHOWTIME. CALIFORNICATION is currently averaging the strongest tune-in level SHOWTIME has ever seen for a freshman series and is posting nearly two million viewers per week, which is the best season one average weekly performance the network has seen since 2004. Additionally, the series has proven its broad appeal attracting equal levels of men and women and holding onto 90% of the WEEDS lead-in.
The first season will air through October on Mondays at 10:30 PM ET/PT. The premiere of season two of CALIFORNICATION is tentatively slated for Summer 2008.
"CALIFORNICATION is a home run for us. We haven't launced a first-year show this strongly out of the gate before, and it caps an extraordinary 12 months that's included the launch of 'Dexter,' 'The Tudors,' 'Brotherhood,' and 'This American Life,'" said Robert Greenblatt, President of Showtime Entertainment. "It's just another great notch in our proverbial bedpost (he says jokingly)."
CALIFORNICATION stars and is executive produced by Golden Globe®-winning actor David Duchovny ("The X-Files"). Co-starring alongside Duchovny are Natascha McElhone (The Truman Show, Laurel Canyon), Madeleine Martin ("Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Hope & Faith"), Madeline Zima ("The Nanny," A Cinderella Story), and Evan Handler ("Sex and the City").
CALIFORNICATION centers on novelist Hank Moody (Duchovny) who struggles to raise his 13-year-old daughter (Madeleine Martin), while still carrying a torch for his ex-girlfriend Karen (McElhone). His obsession with truth-telling and self-destructive behavior -- drinks, drugs and relationships -- are both destroying and enriching his career.
Duchovny is best known to millions of fans for his role as Agent Fox Mulder on the long-running cult classic television series, "The X-Files," a role for which he earned a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Emmy. He also received Emmy nominations for guest appearances on "The Larry Sanders Show" and "Sex and the City." He is a three-time Golden Globe and SAG Award nominee. On the big screen, Duchovny's film credits include last year's Trust the Man and Evolution, both opposite Julianne Moore; and Return to Me, co-starring Minnie Driver. Upcoming film projects include Jake Kasdan's The TV Set, and Things We Lost in the Fire opposite Halle Berry and Benicio del Toro.
CALIFORNICATION is created and executive produced by Tom Kapinos ("Dawson's Creek"). Duchovny and Scott Winant (Showtime's "Huff"), serve as executive producers, with Melanie Greene serving as co-executive producer.
