Today is the day that my productivity goes straight downhill.

We have what might be my favorite show in the history of television shows on Joost.

Beverly Hills 90210. And yes, it’s the Brenda years.

Alternatively called, by my friends and me, 90210, BH nine-oh, Nine-oh, Beverly Hills – Nine-oh was the highlight of my young (and, let’s face it, post-college) life.

I am euphoric. The first season alone had EVERYTHING – teenage pregnancy, drunk driving, car theft, affairs, alcoholism, cliques and, of course, drama and romance.

I have so many fond memories about this show. Just to hear the theme song again brings a tear to my eye. My friends and I taped this episode (we used VCRs back in the early ‘90s) and watched it over and over again. In college, there were late night BH Nine-oh "trivia" games ... and sadly, the list goes on.

I don’t think there’s ever been a group of 20- and 30-year olds who have done as good of a job at playing high school students as the gang from West Beverly. Even know, I think of them by their character names: Brandon, Brenda, Dylan, Kelly, Donna, David, Steve and Andrea. Oh, plus Nat, Emily Valentine, Scott, Jim and Cindy, and on and on … I think it's indisputable that this show revolutionized teen dramas. The OC certainly wouldn't have happened without Nine-oh and, in my opinion, 90210 is also responsible for today’s best television show – Gossip Girl.

The episodes from the first three seasons are up now and the channel will be up soon – I’ll update this as soon as it is. Also, I am TRULY sorry, but this show is only available in the U.S. But summer’s coming and the dollar is still cheap – and now there's even more reason for you to come visit!

Updated: The channel is up!

We're not usually ones for milestones here - as you can see, it's been some time since we did any counting. To be honest, we're spending a lot of time right now on some exciting new developments, and don't have a ton of time to pat ourselves on the back. But this week, we passed a couple of pretty big milestones and we wanted to share them with you.

We now have more than 7,000 hours of video content and 30,000 programs – including TV shows, movies and clips. These shows come from our more than 250 content partners around the world.

I mentioned TV shows and movie titles - and we have more than 400 television series and 1,200 movie and short film titles. Some of the most recent television series we’ve added to Joost include Twin Peaks, The Love Boat, Beverly Hills 90210 and Three Sheets (from MOJO), as well as classic cartoons like Popeye and Superman.

It's not just the TV shows and movies that we like, though - some of our favorites include shorts from hit web properties, like Next New Network's Channel Frederator; CollegeHumor TV's original videos; the network for independent animators, Aniboom; and uncut interviews with indie musicians from Uncensored Interview. UI is just the tip of the iceberg for our music selection, by the way - if video killed the radio star, I like to think that online video is resurrecting the music video.

While we're happy to reach this milestone, we're certainly not stopping here. While we get back to work, though, check out the popular shows in your region. And as always, please let us know what you think!

As I mentioned before, here in New York we share office space with about 50 other start-up and tech companies. The company that manages the space has made some efforts to make it geek-chic: there’s a billiards room, there aren’t any cubicles, there are lots of bright colors, and there are some funky merlot velour curtains where walls might otherwise be.

Personally, I like the quirkiness of the space. But there’s a new quirk that I haven’t quite made up my mind about yet. A couple of weeks ago they installed a putting green where a makeshift conference room used to be.

I’m not sure I get this move. See, even when things seem quirky (i.e. the billiards room) they have a functional purpose (it doubles as a large conference room). But the putting green just doesn’t make sense. First of all, there’s a HUGE pole in the center of it – like, at least a foot or two in diameter (I have no powers of spatial recognition). Secondly, the entire putting green is TINY. Thirdly, there are THREE holes in this tiny space.

Though I don’t make it over there often, I have yet to see anyone utilizing this space for the purpose for which it was intended – as a putting green. As the picture shows, we have our SVP of Engineering, Matt Zelesko, using the space as a place to make a semi-private phone call sans putter. This, despite the fact that two phone cubbies were installed directly across from the putting green.

So yes, the fooz ball table in Leiden gets a lot more use.

The weather was perfect for running, sunny with a cool breeze. The whole city of Leiden was turned upside down to host the biggest sporting event of the year, the Leiden Marathon. From the early morning till late evening hundreds of volunteers and supporters did their best to make sure that the runners had a day to remember. And we did!

Some runners had been training a lot, running together, and supporting each other. Some had been training only a little bit or even not at all. But on that day we were all ready to go for it in our brand-new, bright green Joost shirts. The audience in Leiden was the best I've ever had on a run, proving that it's really not the quantity, it's the quality.

We had two teams running in the race: Joost is Running Free (Aldrik Frick, Allan Beaufour, Henk Uittenbogaard, Jim Ley, Mark Duivesteijn, Ruud Tromp and Wilma Tromp) and Joost is Running Wild (Bas Hoogedoorn, Ed Kikkert, Jan van der Zwet, Rick van der Zwet, Sander van der Zon and me (but I ran the whole marathon)) ... and we finished 13th and 23rd out of 45 total teams (Kyle Forster and Jen Trickett also ran the race, but signed up too late to join the business teams). We thought our results were marvelous, especially since we were not really competing.

The feeling after the finish cannot be described in words. Plenty of personal records were broken, and the people that gathered on a terrace after the run were a bunch of utterly satisfied, cheerful runners and colleagues, who really deserved their beers!

Congratulations everyone, well done ... and thanks to the colleagues who came to support us, took pictures and shared the excitement with us. We are already looking forward to next year, now that our pains and aches have fainted away.
