Who?
Robert Gaal, born in 1985, developer, designer and writer, living in Amsterdam The Netherlands.
What's 53MILES?
53MILES is a tumblelog focused around everything I discover online in fields like technology, design, gaming, entrepreneurialism or writing. It's also my own personal idea company.
The name comes from the rough distance between my birth village Sliedrecht and my current hang-out Amsterdam. A storm as fast as 53mph is also classified as a “gale“, kinda like my lastname Gaal.
What do you do?
I'm the co-founder of Wakoopa, I co-organise the The Roomware Project, I'm a founder slash contributing editor for The Next Web and I do several other projects and meetups. Read my full up-to-date resume at LinkedIn.
