The past few weeks have been a whirlwind, I’ve just barely had a chance to catch my breath.
After being in Holland a few days I was able to attend the amazing TheNextWeb 2008 Conference in Amsterdam. The conference was top notch and was executed beautifully. The after parties, dinners and a live Diggnation were icing on the cake. I’ll definitely have to write a more indepth review about it but if you’re ever in the area while it’s going on I suggest you go.
Also last week I attended the Health 2.0 NL Unconference in Amsterdam which was just as great and surprisingly in a smaller volume. 50 or so people passionate about tech, health and how the 2 merge met up for a series of talks and networking. It was hosted and coordinated also by a top notch group of motivated go-getters and I have to say it was a smashing success. It was great to meet everyone here as well as give a presentation on SugarStats which was well recieved. I can’t wait for the next one as well as Health 2.0 Europe
Then of course there was the BarCamp IV Amsterdam which was put on by Peter Robinett, of course in Amsterdam too. Had a lot of great talks and got to meet a lot of bright, forward thinking folks. A keg of beer didn’t hurt all that much either 
This coming Friday is Lunch 2.0 in Amsterdam, should be a blash as well. So much to do I’ll have to defer a more in-depth post till later. Till then…

ReadWriteWeb, one of my favorite blogs, has a nice post on some cool Health 2.0 online diabetes management resources available to people. Unfortunately Richard the editor recently was diagnosed with diabetes which prompted the post.
“In this post, I’m somewhat selfishly going to review the diabetes sites and apps I found across the Web. But this post also serves, I hope, as an introduction to the more general topic of ‘Health 2.0’ – a.k.a. healthcare that uses the Internet.”
We’re grateful they included SugarStats in it, its always nice to be featured on one of your favorite blogs 
“SugarStats has potentially very useful aggregation, graphing and trending tools, plus you can share your stats with relatives or other diabetics. SugarStats also has a mobile version – even Twitter integration!! Overall, SugarStats is an excellent use of web 2.0 to enhance healthcare treatment.”
Very cool 
He goes on to list various resources from helpful learning material, to diabetes social networks (TuDiabetes.com) to Online Management with SugarStats.
Good stuff, check it out: A Health 2.0 Overview, Through the Eyes of a New Diabetic
