Being more like Paul...

Some guys just seem to have everything. Take Paul Stamatiou, a 21 year old A-list tech blogger / programmer while still at University. Always got interesting posts and even does some great tutorial’s for the lesser programming gods among us (I greatly enjoyed that one!).

And now, what do I find at Technorati? A whole Nike video ad around Paul and some fancy Nike running shoes – Ipod combination. How about that? What’s next: Hollywood?


Click here to see the video!

I am not making fun of Paul here. Actually I greatly admire his talents for writing, programming and having the time to blog that much. And then there is that running. Having picked up running again recently and then seeing the video ad was what gave me the idea for this funny post tonight.
By the way here are Paul’s comments on that whole ad creation process.

By the way Paul, your last run on the Nike site gives me the date 14th of December! A long holiday?

To balance this blog post a bit on that Nike thing, I wanted to feature here an episode of Loic Le Meur’s Seesmic Startup video’s, in which he really, really says some bad things about Nike shoes. However I can not find that episode! What a pity!

  1. Running is fun. Any runs planned for this year? I’m thinking of the “Berenloop” on Terschelling.
