I guess everybody knows the ‘six degrees of separation‘ theory. What it comes down to that you connect with everyone else in the world with a maximum of six ‘steps’. If this is true, a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of mine knows Robert De Niro. Cool.

Although I’m not quite convinced the theory holds entirely (what about isolated tribes in the Brazilian rain forest?) I recently discovered that I need only one or two steps to connect to three of the hottest projects in the tech universe.

1. A friend (whom I actually met once) of a friend of mine works on the iPhone.
2. A friend of another friend is currently developing the game that will save Sony’s PS3.
3. Someone I know through the Dutch Flash community has joined the Papervision 3D project (a Flash based 3D render engine that will probably revolutionize the web).

1. Taking the plunge
2. Spots on the Apple…
3. M and M prototyping
4. Helping Joe the Worm escape is not easy
5. HomePlug experiences anyone?
