Gewoon keischoon, deze 'analoge' agenda voor Arctic Paper.

Helene Ryenbakken vulde het thema 'computer en internet on paper' zodanig in dat je enkel kan glimlachen.

Ontsnap aan de hel.

Wellicht een strategische zet van Pixmania: In de mailbox belandde het berichtje dat je nog tot vanavond kan je shoppen met 5% korting.
Thuis geleverd, net op tijd voor kerst.
Aan deftige prijzen.
En vooral: lekker rustig.

Redelijk eenvoudige oplossing als je al iets (wellicht electro,foto, of huishoud) in gedachten hebt
en de hel wilt vermijden...

Queen Rania van Jordan heeft een YouTube channel

Queen Rania van Jordan probeert via YouTube een boodschap te verspreiden, en omg, ze doet dat goed.

Bekijk zeker haar andere filmpjes op YouTube, en abonneer je op haar channel.
Byebye afgelikte filmpjes van koningshuizen ala Engeland.
Nope.. Queen Rania rocks.
Haar filmpjes reiken verder dan emancipatie van de Arabische vrouwen, en geven duidelijk een ander zicht op moslims in de wereld.
Ze valt moslimterroristen aan via YouTube, door het net anders te tonen.
Ze kan dat, want ze is zelf moslim.
En ze doet het via web 2.0 .
'You can give critics, because we don't to agree on everything, as long as we can discuss.'
Wow.

(And she even has the looks :) )
(Het koningshuis van Jordanie is eigenlijk op zich wel schitterend, Queen Noor was ookal zo een dame...)

Hat Tip Guido!

Wishlist #3: Eye-FI

Dit kaartje lijkt me telkens verdomd handig: snel wireless de foto's binnenhalen uit de camera zonder dat je moet een kabel zoeken.

Luiheid ten top :) En als je kan genieten van een gigabit wireless netwerk is het sneller dan usb...

Te koop online bij Eye-fit zelf. Richtprijs: 60 dollar

Of het hier al in Eurpao te koop is weet ik eigenlijk niet.

Wishlish #3: Wacom Tablet Bamboo

Deze A6 Wacomtablet is perfect om van start te gaan met een Tablet ipv de muis. Perfect voor kleine maar nauwkeurige foto-bewerkingen (zoals bijgeven en tegenhouden, of stempelen) in je favoriete foto-programma. Ik wil er al lang eentje proberen, maar het is er nog nooit van gekomen omdat ik meestal op de Macbook werk. Nu is er echter een 24inch scherm besteld, en wil ik nauwkeurig kunnen werken. Een tablet lijkt me handig om sneller en nauwekeuriger te kunnen werken.

De Wacom tablet is te koop bij Pixmania aan 69 euro

Kasklezingen met Alex Webb & Rebecca Norris Webb: Selections: VOLZET

©Alex Webb

Niet dat de mannen van Sint Lukas Gent met hun Pecha Kucha geen goed werk doen, maar op net dezelfde dag presenteren de studenten foto van KASK een net iets sterker kaliber wat mij betreft: Alex Webb & Rebecca Norris Webb komen vertellen over hun werk, de dag ervoor gaven ze al een workshop aan de studenten foto.

Wie is dit koppel vraagt u? Alex Webb is Magnumfotograaf (en alleen al daarvoor mag u naar Gent hollen me dunkt.)

Ik neem het even integraal over:
Alex Webb, a member of Magnum Photos since 1976, has published seven books including Hot Light/Half Made Worlds; Under a Grudging Sun; Crossings: Photographs from the U.S. Mexican Border; and Istanbul: City of a Hundred Names, his most recent book. He has worked for many of the major publications including National Geographic, Life, New York Times Magazine, GEO, and is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, a Hasselblad Foundation Grant, and the Leica Medal of Excellence. Webb’s work has been exhibited widely in the U.S. and Europe in museums such as the International Center of Photography, the High Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego. To view his work: http://www.magnumphotos.com

Rebecca Norris Webb, originally a poet and journalist, had her first NYC solo exhibition at Ricco Maresca Gallery in 2006, the same year her first book, The Glass Between Us, was published. Her series, which uses text and images to explore the complicated relationship between people and animals in cities, has also been included in several group exhibitions, including "Why Look at Animals?" at the George Eastman House. Her project was awarded sponsorship by the Blue Earth Alliance. Currently, she's working on a series of photographs in the American West called, "My Dakota,” and a joint book with her husband and creative partner, Alex Webb, called “Violet Isle: A Duet of Photographs from Cuba.” Rebecca edited Alex's two most recent books (Crossings and Istanbul) and teaches photography workshops with him around the world. To view her work: http://www.riccomaresca.com or http://www.theglassbetweenus.com

wanneer: woensdag 3 december 2007 om 20u
waar: Hogeschool Gent, Departement KASK-Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten, Auditorium Victor Horta, Bijloke campus, Jozef Kluyskensstraat 2, 9000 Gent

info: gratis toegang, registreren noodzakelijk. Registreer via sanderbuyck@gmail.com.

UPDATE: ZOals eerder gemeld ging deze lezing snel volzitten, dat is nu al zo. Volgende keer beter!

Wishlist #2: Domke Fotobag

Ik kocht er al eentje in de US: de kleinere F-5XA om steeds en handig een reflex mee te hebben, maar voor fotoopdrachten is een iets grotere tas toch handig. En daar komt de F-5XC in de picture, een tas waar gerust 1 toestel met wat extra lenzen en een flits inkunnen. We keurden de tas al bij B&H in NYC en namen ze bijna mee, wonderlijk genoeg was hij daar een pak duurder dan hier in Belgie, dus zet ik hel nu op het verlanglijstje.

Te koop bij Foto Konijnenberg voor 63 euro

Wishlist #1: Annie Leibovitz 'At work'

Ik steek het niet onder stoelen of banken: mijn 'goesting' om te fotograferen is terug, een nieuwe camera onderweg.
Boeken met fotowerk zijn altijd mooie dingen om te krijgen, maar dit boek, waarin Annie Leibovitz vertelt hoe sommige van haar bekende foto's tot stand kwamen, is toch net die stap interessanter: hoe doet ze het, welke opstellingen gebruikte ze, en het verhaal achter de foto. Voor een fotograaf is dat minstens even interessant als het uitiendelijke resultaat.

Een hardcover voor 24 dollar... Betaalbaar en tegelijk een super geschenk.
"Annie Leibovitz at Work" te koop bij Amazon

Hoe doen jullie dat?

Soms kijken mensen raar op als we zeggen dat we op reis zijn geweest. NYC klinkt ongelooflijk duur. (en is dat ook wel een beetje).
Mensen denken soms dat wij schatten verdienen.
Dat is absoluut niet zo... We verdienen niet slecht. Maar om te zeggen "schatten"...

Besparen op geld, dat kan in simpele dingen zitten. Of in het omkeren van een denkproces. Out of the box denken.
En dat omkeren van denken betekent zeker niet dat je het minder goed hebt.
Integendeel.

We hebben niet echt gecouchsurfed deze vakantie, want het waren al een beetje vrienden voor we er heen gingen... Maar couchsurfen is wel een leuke manier om zonder al te veel luxe en zonder al te veel geld uit te geven leuk op reis te gaan.

In eerste instantie lijkt zoiets niet altijd even handig en leuk, en soms is het dat ook niet, maar vaker kan je gerust bij mensen terecht zonder meer: je krijgt een sleutel van het huis, een bed of couch om op te slapen, en je doet je ding.
Omgekeerd betekent het ook dat je je huis openstelt voor dergelijke dingen. Dat je het niet zo erg vindt dat er af en toe es een paar mensen in je huis logeren, je ze een sleutel geeft en vertrouwen schenkt.

In het verleden was dat 'sharen' naar bezoekers moeilijk voor me: ik deed al aan sharen met huisgenoten. En dan kan zoiets moeilijk: je kan niet zo eenvoudig een sleutel geven aan gasten als niet iedereen in huis zo voor dat idee te vinden is.

Gelukkig heb ik nu een liefje dat zich volledig vindt in die dingen. Die zelf voorstelt om aan huisruil mee te doen. Die ook met een rugzak wil rondtrekken en crashen op vreemde plaatsen. Die de idee om met een mobilhome op reis te trekken zelfs aantrekkelijk vindt. (*Bedenk me dat ik daarvoor op mijn blote knieen zou mogen vallen.*)

En dus doen wij af en toe van logeren.
Want, en dat telt absoluut mee, de som is snel gemaakt.
Een collega van mij gaat op reis naar NY, hij is al snel 500 euro kwijt aan een ticket, en 70 euro per nacht, pp aan een hotel. Das al 850 euro zonder extra's voor 5 dagen.
Wij reisden voor dat bedrag all in, 4 paar schoenen inbegrepen.
Toegegeven: we maakten 2 keer zelf eten en letten wel op de portemonnee, opteerden voor de metro ipv de taxi en moesten elke dag 20 min reizen om in Soho te geraken.
(We hadden dan wel weer de vreemde gewoonte om elke dag bij de allerminst goedkope Dean&Deluca ontbijt en smoothies te halen, en hebben geen seconde het gevoel had dat we onszelf te kort deden.)

Naast dat we er wat geld mee besparen, is het vooral een andere manier van reizen: out of the box, zoals ik al zei. Je hebt contact met lokale mensen, hebt minder het gevoel een toerist te zijn, en krijgt vaker de kans om een blik te werpen op the real life, dan de toerist in jezelf te ontplooien.
Je leert mensen kennen aan de andere kant van de wereld met vaak gelijkaardige interesses (want het is vaak op basis van gemeenschappelijke interesses dat je iemand 'aanspreekt')
Dus je 'wint' op veel meer (en vooral belangrijker) vlakken dan enkel financieel.

Couchsurfen dus. Een aanrader.

Wat is jullie out-of-the-box tip?

ThisConnect zoekt een enthousiaste PHP'er

Je kon het al aan de zijkant van deze blog zien, maar aangezien ik hel wat lezers heb via RSS toch alles nog eens in een post zetten: ThisConnect, een jong bedrijfje in Aalst, makers van oa Geboortelijst.be, is nog op zoek naar een enthousiaste PHP'er.
Dus mocht je er zelf eentje zijn of iemand kennen: stuur die CV maar door.

Daarnaast organiseert Punctum, in de aanloop naar 2010, een aantal andere fotografierelateerde projecten. vanaf 2009 begint er een lezingenreeks en in de lente vind er een overzichtstentoonstelling plaats van de Belgische fotografe Germaine van Parys.

Meer informatie hierover volgt later.... eerst:

Punctum Party!

Canon 5D MarkII

Gisteren naar de fijne event geweest van Canon, en de nieuwe Canon 5D Mark II als een van de weinigen mogen vasthouden en testen in Europa.
De foto's staan hier nog te blinken op het kaartje en ik hoop ze binnenkort op deze blog te kunnen posten (beetje tijdsgebrek nu)
Ik kan u alvast zeggen: ik was heel zwaar onder de indruk van de hogere ISO waarden, iets waar ik danig van geniet als 'niet zo enthousiast flitser'. Ook de geluidsloosheid, en de vitesse van het scherpstellen waren impressionnant.

Het was een beetje teveel van het goeie wel: meer dan 2 handvol fotografen en 1 Canon 5D.
Maar ook een overvloed aan schoon lenzen, de laatste nieuwe andere toestellen, en niet weten waar te kijken. Fotografen die fotografen shooten, en schoon modellen die soms een beetje in het niets verdwenen bij die andere modellen, de toestellen zelf.

Ik copy paste even Pietel voor de linklove:
Wie was er nog: Ake van akevandervelden.wordpress.com, Michel van blog.zog.org, Bruno van blog.volume12.net, Karel van webpalet.titeca.net, Bert van bertstephani.com/blog, Pieter van fotografie-vanimpe.be/blog, Nico van eskimokaka.be, Thomas van blog.thomasbouve.com, Luc van lvb.net, Michaël van emich.be, Serge van sergevc.be/blog en Artur van arturian.wordpress.com.

Dikke merci aan de mensen van Canon en Adhese. En de modellen: Lea De Nesle en Istvám Torck van Imm Model Management.

Meer volgt dra. :)

Gisteren een dvd'tje gehuurd. Into the wild. Een mooie ontroerende en confronterende film. Veelzeggend over vanalles en nog wat. Over relaties met ouders, over materialisme, over menselijkheid.
En avontuur.

Inspirerend.

AB, in 't nieuw

Den AB heeft een nieuwe site, en hij is mooi. Echt mooi.
Het is interessant om te zien hoe goed hij in elkaar zit (respect voor Netlash & crew): hij doet perfect wat hij moet doen, en dat alles in 1 oogopslag. Bovendien zitten alle 2.0 elementen er mooi in geintegreerd: zuiver en functioneel: AB carpool, ticketruil, of gelijkaardige concerten zijn mooie extra's, met een enginge die onzichtbaar goed draait.
Je kan als gebruiker ook een account aanmaken, commentaar posten, ideeen uitwisselen, elkaar leren kennen, maar dat hoeft helemaal niet.
De site is ook functioneel zonder die extra's.

Ik ga hier even een andere site bijhalen, die al deze elementen ook trachtte te integreren, maar mijn inziens er niet is in geslaagd:
De Vooruit.

Als gebruiker ben ik niet geïnteresseerd in activiteiten of community opsplitsing op de eerste pagina. Neen danku, ik wil graag een snel overzicht.
In plaats daarvan krijg ik een kakafinie van elementen.

Of op de detailpagina ziet dat er dan zo uit:

Het had ook zo gekunnen:

Wat mij betreft mogen ze die van de Vooruit ook eens een remake geven. Asap...

Bij Kask beginnen we ook met het voorontwerp van een redesign.
Ook wij zullen op onze tellen moeten letten.
Jammer dat er niet het budget voor is, anders haalde ik er graag wat usability experts bij :)

Reverie

Het filmpje gemaakt met de Canon 5D MarkII is stunning. De Making of vertelt nog meer.
Jipjip. Net wanneer ik dacht dat Nikon me kon verleiden met de 700D kruipt de aarzeling er goed weer in.
Kan niet wachten om dat ding in mijn pollen te houden (en blij dat ik volgehouden heb om te wachten.)
(Waarom noemen ze dat een 5D Mark II, zoiets verdient toch gewoon een eigen naam? 6D ofzo? )

September en camarawedloop

September is zeker de maand van de new releases in het fotowereldje.
Alle 'grote nieuwe spectaculaire dinges' worden tot dan zo geheim mogelijk gehouden.
Nikon wou dit jaar de eerste zijn met hun D700 die een pak eerder en 'onverwacht' werd aangekondigd.
En terwijl iedereen zit te wachten wat Canon gaat ophoesten als langverwachte opvolger van de 5D (en OF ze hem ophoesten of niet), komt Sony doodleuk met volgende Alpha op de proppen.

Vorig jaar deze tijd vloog ik naar Milaan en moest ik een 'geheimhoudingsbrief' ondertekenen.
Vandaag moet ik lekker niets want niet in Milaan of elders (lees: Sony doet deze keer de press-release zonder mij ;) ), maar ik durf bijna met stelligheid zeggen dat de rumor wel degelijk waar zal zijn: Sony brengt volgens mij morgen een 24,6 mega pixel FULL Frame camera uit. (Jip, wild guess, de product plaatjes zijn te echt, en de roddels te concreet.)

En als ik even durf terug grijpen naar mijn first hands-on van vorig jaar, dan denk ik dat de verwachtingen dit jaar misschien wel ingelost worden:
ik miste full frame en een ruim aanbod van echte Carl Zeiss lenzen.

Benieuwd wat de prijs van bovenstaande klepper zal zijn.
En ja, ik zou er graag mijn pollen eens op leggen om deftig uit te testen, praktisch dan. Want al die camera's mogen dan alle toeters en bellen hebben, ik wil er vooral het geovel mee hebben dat fotograferen leuk is, dat ie goed in de hand ligt, en dat ik er gewoon handig mee kan werken.
(Ik ben er intussen van overtuigd dat de grote merken allen goeie camera's hebben, en je dus gewoon de camera moet vinden die best bij je past)

Misschien moeten we maar eens proberen een middagje fotograferen met den Jimmy, maar dan met alle nieuwe full-frame camera's om te testen?
Wie doet mee?
En iemand die weet hoe we aan die camera's kunnen geraken?
An? Pieter? Iemand van Canon die meeleest? :)

Update: Told ya!

Sporten voor mijn goeie doel?

De mensen van CM Oost Vlaanderen hebben een nieuw (nuja nieuw, het dateert van maart) initiatief: sporten stimuleren ovv van een sportkorting. Ik kom niet direct in aanmerking, want klant bij de collega's.

En I admit, ik wil wel graag sporten, maar het effectief doen is een pak moeilijker. Verder dan de 3 weken zwemmen, en de eerste 5 sessies met Evi, en 3 weken later nog eens eenzelfde poging ben ik voorlopig niet geraakt. Laat staan dat ik uren ga zweten in een fitness en daar nog geld voor betalen.
(Hoewel, ik ben bijna zo hopeloos over die lovehandles dat ik zelfs dat overweeg tegenwoordig...)

Back to CM: een paar dagen geleden verwittigden ze me van hun veiling voor het goeie doel.
Persoonlijk heb ik het niet zo voor veilingen voor het goede doel. Ik vind dat meestal vaak zwaar overroepen.

Maar na een vluchtige blik op de site, viel mijn oog op een actie die wel werkelijk voor het goede doel is, mijn goed doel, wel te verstaan.

Niet het uur joggen met de Joeri (duoh!, ik loop de 5de dag met Evi al te zweten als een paard na 10 minuten...), niet schaatsen met Katrien, en ook niet het mountainbiken (fans van dit blog weten intussen dat ik een Eddy Merckx 'koers'velo heb, geen mountainbike).

Neen, die massage, die doet het em.
Een ontspannende massage, door een schoon madam (of meer), en 'specialisten' die mij op krachten laten komen.
Dat klinkt ongelooflijk schitterend in mijn oren.

Maar dan de bummer: 'na een uitputtende wedstrijd'.
Dat, dames en heren, betekent dat er wel degelijk moet gesport worden. :(

Dus, ik heb geboden voor die "Massage voor mij en mijn team".
En ik zoek dus ook kandidaten voor mijn team om die "uitputtende"* wedstrijd mee te spelen.

Bij wedstrijd denk ik aan:
-partijtje sjotten (bloggers tegen elkaar??)
-basketgame (als we geen 11 man bijeenkrijgen.)
-fietsen?
-...

Wie doet mee?
Of: wie biedt hoger en wordt ons concurrerend team? :P
(De winnaars krijgen de massage)

*Lees de "aanhalingstekens", we kunnen er ook uitgeput 'uitzien'.

Disclaimer: Ja, ik freelance af en toe voor Markee, en ja, CM OOst-Vlaanderen is klant van hen.
Dus u weet nu al waar ik mijn mail vandaan kreeg.

A good client...

Nr 1 kan tellen. 'Nothing takes 5 minutes'. Indeed...
If only. Dan zou de volgende u ook wellicht bespaard blijven.

Ik heb het vooral voor die 'Pay on Time' en als je dat niet kan: verwittig, of geef een reden. Maar doe vooral niet of uw neus bloedt.
Met alle respect voor de moeilijke economische tijden maar 'we all have bills to pay...'

En neen, ik heb het niet over u, u betaalt altijd op tijd ;)

Grootmoeder's favorieten.

Ik begin serieus te overwegen om mijn grootmoeder een linklog te geven, (het zal voorlopig) bij een categorie op deze blog blijven.
Van de oubollige sites van weleer (vooral patchwork) is ze nu overgestapt naar een (veel) hoger niveau.
Vandaag aan de telefoon: "Kijk eens naar Fabuleuxmarcel.com, dat is een mooie site. Ik heb die gevonden via Google. Daar kunt ge waarschijnlijk wel wat inspiratie halen."
Met enig voorbehoud surfte ik erheen (wetende dat de eerste versie van deze site op geen z*k trok), maar kijk... Ze had gelijk: een inspirerende site.

Ze had er nog een hele boel andere die ik zeker moest bekijken, maar ze had nu geen tijd om ze door te sturen, en 'dat ze weldra in mijn mailbox zullen belanden'.
Ik hoop dat jullie even benieuwd zijn als ik...

Mijn grootmoeder van 77( ;) ) surft , en ze surft goed...

David Griffin over de kracht van beelden

Mooi hoe hij het heeft over user-generated en later photo-journalism.
Schitterende lezing over fotografie en het verhaal.

Port'A

Gisteren deden wij nog eens van date, en gingen we eindeijk naar dat ene restaurantje dat ons opviel telkens wij langs de Dampoort passeerden. Port-A is een leuk uitziend huis op een vreemde locatie, en hoewel hip en trendy is het alsof er nooit volk zit. Iets wat nooit goed is voor een restaurant.
Maar wie niet waagt niet wint.
En dus stapten we binnen.

We werden verwelkomd door een jonge familie met 3 ukkies, en werden heel familiaal ontvangen.
Op de kaart stond er dat er geen kaart was en dat we mochten kiezen op het bord. Op het bord stonden er een paar woorden 'vis, vlees, veggie' , waarop de vrouw des huizes vertelde dat de kok ons iets zou voorstellen. En of we in de tussentijd iets wilden drinken. '2 watertjes, graag.'
Niet veel later daagde een ukkie op met 2 watertjes, en nog ietwat later met ons bestek, en servetten.

Chill, en de glimlach op mijn lief haar gezicht sprak boekdelen.
De kok stelde ons zijn beperkte menu ('alles is dag vers, en bio') voor: ik heb zalm en steak. Ik kan zalm met pasta, of zalm met rijst, en hij somde nog een paar alternatieven op.

Wij kozen bijgevolg, zeer vanzelfsprekend, voor zalm en steak.

'Ik vind het hier fijn' fluisterde mijn lief. En zelden was geen keuze de goede keuze.
Want iets later kwam ons eten eraan, en leek het alsof de kok gekookt had voor onze persoonlijke smaak.
De 2 jongemannen naast ons hadden hetzelfde (zalm en steak) en toch niet.
En wat ik perfect vond, vond mijn lief minder, wat mijn lief schitterend lustte, mocht van mij iets meer gepeperd.

De kok kwam een half bord later vragen waarom mijn liefste haar bord niet opat ('ik ben maar een kleine eter'), en waarom ze geen kleine portie had gevraagd. En iets later liefdevol, dat hij het wel in een portje zou meegeven want dat het zonde zou zijn om te verspillen.

We glimlachten, betaalden de rekening met plezier, en namen de doggybag mee naar huis.

Het was niet goedkoop, maar niet overdreven duur. Maar vooral: het was zalig.

Port'A is niet voor mensen die graag kiezen uit veel.
Het is ook niet voor mensen die kinderen niet leuk vinden, of het bijhorende lawaai.
Het is perfect voor mensen die open staan voor verrassingen.

Port'A deed me denken aan de leuke 'home made food' restaurantjes in Israel, waar in een klein huisje je huisgemaakt eten voorgeschoteld krijgt aan aangename prijzen. Waar je bijna in de woonkamer zit. Waar je thuis bent.

Soldates

<

"At an age when social, sexual, and educational explorations are at their highest point, the life of an eighteen-year-old Israeli girl is interrupted. She is plucked from her home surroundings and placed in a rigorous institution where her individuality is temporarily forced aside in the name of nationalism. During the next two years, immersed in a regimented and masculine environment, she will be transformed from a girl to a woman, within the framework of an army that is engaged in daily war and conflict. She is now a soldier serving her country, in a military camp amidst hundreds like her, yet beneath the uniform there is someone wishing to be noticed, listened to, and understood.

Almost fifteen years after my mandatory military duty ended, I went back to several Israeli army bases, using the medium of photography as a vehicle to re-enter this world. Serial No. 3817131 represents my effort to come to terms with the experiences of being a soldier from the perspective of an adult. My service had been a period of utter loneliness, mixed with apathy and pensiveness, and at the time I was too young to understand it all. Through the camera’s lens, I tried to reconstruct facets of my military life, hopeful to reconcile matters that had been left unresolved."

Misschien niet de beste reeks over Israelische soldaten, maar wel eentje die me opnieuw doet nadenken. Terugrijpen naar de 2 jaar dat ik in Tel Aviv woonde en me verwonderde over de jonge soldaten in de straten, kinderen nog.
Kinderen ook die me later aan de check-points tegen hielden en paspoort vroegen, en met mij grote aantallen Palestijnen.
Bange kinderen in een oorlog die hen overstijgt.

Rachel Papo's reeks is niet van het niveau van Adi Nes (foto's hier), maar vertelt wel een verhaal van een realiteit: jonge meisjes met geweren in een leger, in een land in oorlog.
Geen uitzonderling, wel een regel.

Jeugdsentiment

Omg! Klue wijst ons op een multimediaal filmpje van The Breeders. The Breeders! Begot. En ik ben plots weer 16, en alles van 4AD was beyond hip (en had wonderschone grafisch hoezen). En ik volgde ze allemaal. The Pixies, Tanya Donelly, Throwing Muses, Belly, Lisa Germano, 50 Foot Wave, Kristin Hersh.Opvallend is deze vooruitstrevende 4standpunten video, net zoals Kristin Hersh indertijd ongelooflijk veooruitstrevend was door als een van de eersten pre-releases en special versions via haar website te verspreiden/te koop te stellen, en een poos later haar fans op te roepen een clip te creeren bij haar nieuwe single via Youtube.
Ha, oldies? Don't think so. Of: oldies embrace the future.Ofzoiets.
Mijmert verder, en zoekt intussen al die cd's en platen terug.
En besluit dat ze die ook wel vindt op Last.FM.
Where was my mind? ;)

Collector's confectie

H&M gaat gewoon door met hun samenwerking met gevestigde waarden in de modewereld. Dit keer is het met Comme Des Garcons, an de resultaten kunnen nu al als verbluffend ervaren worden. Rei Kawakubo (65) tekende de 'collectie'.

Na Karl Lagerfeld (2004), Stella McCartney (2005), Viktor & Rolf (2006) en Roberto Cavalli (2007), is Kawakubo de vijfde om voor de Zweedse kledinggigant een speciale collectie te mogen ontwerpen.

De collectie ligt in de winkels vanaf november, en ik ben vrij zeker dat het zal storm lopen.

Email newsletters: the horror

Wie af en toe eens een html nieuwsletter moet maken kent het fenomeen: true horror. Waar we bij gewone sites al blij mogen zijn dat we op 4 platformen moeten testen (ie 6, ie7, mozilla en safari) is het bij nieuwsbrieven nog een pak leuker met de verschillende clients, om nog maar te zwijgen van gmail en consoorten.

Campaignmonitor maakte een aardige test voor CSS considerability, en publiceert de resultaten. En die zijn helaas bedroevend (ook weer door diezelfde gmail ondermeer.)

Je gaat er zowaar terug naar het web van 97, met toeters en tabellen...
Wie het toch met css wil doen, allen naar Campaignmonitor.

Korte samenvatting voor wie gee zin heeft in het artikel: test je html mails nooit in mac mail, want die ondersteunt lekker alles. Test in gmail, en huil...
Mooi om te zien is dat Outlook 07 veel fouten van zijn oudere broertje heeft weggewerkt, windows mail nog een stap verder gaat, en nu een mooi gemiddelde wordt.

Quote van de dag

Er is wel interesse, maar het is geen durfkapitaal. We moeten ook opboksen tegen vrij grote durfkapitalisten in het buitenland. Er is bij ons niemand die top of class is. De Gimv wel, daar heb ik respect voor, maar zij investeren niet echt in consumentgerichte internetbedrijven.

Toen ik over het rapport las van professor Luc Soete, over het innovatiebeleid in Vlaanderen, leek het wel of ik de geschiedenis van Netlog las. Er is in Vlaanderen gewoon geen innovatiebeleid. De eerste keer dat we de mogelijkheid van extern kapitaal hebben bekeken, in 2004, gingen we kijken bij Brustart (een dochter van de Brusselse ontwikkelingsmaatschappij Gomb, red.). We zaten toen nog in Brussel. We vroegen een lening van 75.000 euro, maar die wilden ze niet geven. Blijkbaar wilde men dat geld liever stoppen in nieuwe pizzeria's.

Lorenz Bogaert in De Standaard

Dat België daar beter zou aan werken dan liggen ruziën over politiek.
Dat Vlaanderen een voorsprong heeft door zijn kennismaatschappij is een schamper gegeven als je het vergelijkt met het talent dat zal aanstormen uit het Verre Oosten.
Noch België, noch Vlaanderen doen er veel aan om met die toekomst om te gaan.

SOS Klimaat

Wat leest mijn lodder oog in de gazette?
Nic Balthazar , televisiemaker, wil op 10 augustus een videoclip inblikken waarmee hij de politici bewust wil maken van de ernst van het klimaatprobleem.

Na wat gegoogel krijg ik dit:
Friends of the Earth gaat samen met cineast Nic Baltazar een videoclip opnemen in de strijd tegen de klimaatsverandering onder de noemer "SOS Klimaat". Nic hoopt op zo'n 30 000 deelnemers.
De opnames vinden plaats op zondag 10 augustus tussen 14.00 en 21.00 uur tijdens een grote openluchtfuif met bekende DJ's zoals Gabriel Rios, Flip Kowlier, Adriaan Van den Hoof of Axel Daeseleire op het Klein Strand in Oostende.
Iedereen die bezorgd is om onze planeet is welkom!
Zorg dat je zo milieuvriendelijk mogelijk naar Oostende reist.

Alles hier te vinden

Note: 30.000 man op de trein die dag? Ik hoop dat de NMBS er rekening mee houdt...
Extra note: Ik ben geen fanatieke eco-aanhanger maar vind wel dat het hoog tijd wordt dat onze politici aan andere belangrijker 'dinges' denken dan aan hoe Belgie te splitsen of hoe te ruzien over details. En daaromtrent een signaal krijgt.
Ik weet niet wat u ervan vindt, maar ik vind verder ook dat ze dat loon van diezelfde politici gelijk helemaal mogen storten aan een of andere milieurampfonds, ofzo.
Ongelooflijk falen en dan nog eens extra lang vakantie pakken. Aan een loon waar u en ik van dromen. En met welke pretentie dat gebeurt.

Allen daarheen dus :)

Vlaemsch behangpapier

Dit behangpapier viel me al op 2 jaar geleden op Interieur 2006 als een must-have.
Nu is het blijkbaar in productie bij Vlaemsch.

“RendezVous1&2” by Atelier Blink, (BE)
These “naughty” patterns take their inspiration from those repetitive floral garland patterns which so many of our forebears were exceptionally fond of. It is only upon re-focussing our eyes, inclining your head slightly to the left and humming the Brabançonne that you may discover yourself surrounded by intertwining figures, salaciously winding themselves around your walls in never-ending twists and turns of shameless sensuality.

(written by Carmen Devos for Tickle magazine)

Op zoek naar een (goedkope) keuken?

K+ (keukens) gaf me recent de opdracht om een reeks toonzaalkeukens op hun site te plaatsen.
Ware het niet dat ik net geld stak in een badkamer renovatie en mijn appartement momenteel verhuurd is, dan rende ik nu stante pede naar de winkel.

Glow

Glow comes to Belgium... Some memories suddenly come back.

While living in Israel, I shared an apartment with this wonderful lady.
She worked for the British Council, and often I was invited for cultural events (and less cultural but as exciting :)).
I believe I've met Lior Kalfo (the director of this show) once in a while on some of these events. Or maybe he just lived in the same neighborhood.
I saw the interview and suddenly everything was back.
All day, when I close my eyes, I am elsewhere.

Glow seems a promising show, with loads of wow-effects.
Something perfect to see with family.
Hey littl' bro, feel like going?

Mewaf/Van Marcke presents Unchained Working.

Often we, bloggers, get invitations to all kinds of events, a lot of them nice, amusing or full of fun, yet, seldom as inspiring as the one yesterday.

Robin invited us in name of Mewaf to a presentation on their Unchained Working.
I already knew Unchained Working, probably of a late browsing session, looking for Belgian design, and I bookmarked them because of their unconventional approach of office design.

I was quite surprised to discover Mewaf is connected to/a branch of Van Marcke.
2 years ago I had the opportunity to go for a company visit and visit Interior 2006 on their invitation.
I loved the way brother and sister Van Marcke were telling their story, on how they asked a designer, how they looked for inspiration, and made what seemed impossible possible.
Everything was breathing enthusiasm.

To my great surprise I noticed Caroline Van Marcke was sitting at our table. Quite an opportunity to exchange ideas :) Something we all did.
Imagine sitting at the table with some presidents of a quite unique company, asking whatever you want to ask.
What marked the conversation yesterday, was the eagerness to learn from each other, and a healthy interest from all people sitting at the table.

The moment that struck me most was Mrs Van Marckes answer on C's question 'What's the key to your success'.
'Soul'.

It said everything these people were saying all evening: Believe, and if you do so, go for it.
Something which was said in different words a little earlier by Mr. Van Marcke himself.
I believe that his words not only impressed me.
More than often I need to explain to people what a blog is, so it came to a surprise that this man of 70 not only knows what a blog is, but told us he believes in communication and wants his employees to go and blog.

Unchained working is more than changing an office, putting less desks for more people, it's a culture, and a time shift. And next to that is a logical evolution since everything dramatically changed in the last 30 years (thinking of computers, shift to portables and mobiles).
Some of us might be born with it (I can't imagine working in a fixed office, I even refused one), plain fact is that most of us are living it, and old habits die hard.
I can imagine how difficult people find change, or the fact their desk isn't were it used to be. Actually, it is everywhere.
Besides the fact of the disappearing desk, it's being confronted with a new spirit, one of exchange, different communication.

It's nice to see a Belgian company isn't only working on developing this new idea,but it's also integrating this concept in their own offices.

(Van Marcke had a difficult successor story in 1999, yet, I believe, the company made some huge changes these last years resulting in a stronger brand, with a stronger identity. And, moreover, one which preaches innovation. I am still convinced in my point that Belgium has some fine design companies, unfortunately we don't scream this loud enough)

Wooden Radio with a mission

It's so retro looking, two tones of wood, and made by hand by carpenters in an Indonesian village with high unemployment. The designer Singgih Kartono wants to "redefine the relationship of the user between the product" and revitalize craft industries and local skills, while using local sustainable materials. Even the packaging is designed to be simple, minimal and reuseable for transporting the radio.

The designer decided he wanted to give work to an area with high unemployment.
Talk about eco, design and a mission :)

Deseo, Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Seeing the frequency of my posts lately it is very obvious the time for blogging is minimized due to too much work...
When browsing my feedreader, I stumbled upon this.
How I wouldn't mind to go over and spend some time to unwind, to lie down and just enjoy nothingness...

"The Mayan Riviera, long visited for stunning archaeological ruins and scuba diving, now has the ultimate destination for relaxation. Deseo, in Playa del Carmen, maintains the charm of old fishing villages along the Caribbean coast, yet in the smoothest of transitions, offers the best of today's lifestyle. Open-air lounges, seabreeze and succulent dishes can be enjoyed in a purely refined atmosphere. The cocktails let alone the sounds of the best DJ's from around the world will intoxicate you into a soothing state of mind."

I am sure my girl wouldn't mind joining in :)

Does the little present of Cherry & Cake of few days ago have something to do with this:
Blazen Maar? Or not?... LVB seems to know more...

And indeed. Blazenmaar.be is registered by, guess who, Cherry & Cake.

Getting curious :)
So, a little more research reveals this:
They mention several things on the blog:
End date: 18.10.08 (that's when something is going to happen in Brussels.)
Start date: 22.03.08

Googling 18.10.08 and Brussels reveals this: Stad onder stroom , a game on climate and change, by Coalition Climate.. Would it have anything to do with this?..
Googling 22.03.08 reveals world water day...

Zoomit and e-invoicing.

The independents amongst my readers probably know what I mean by 'the trouble of invoicing'.
Invoicing never has been such a burden.
I don't have a real problem finding jobs (I actually have too many at the moment. People in for serious co-op can drop a mail.)

The real trouble is being paid..
Once you have sent your invoice, the waiting starts.
While in Belgium the official 'due time' is one month, many, way too many companies neglect this, and if you get paid after 2 months you can be happy.
Most agencies never bother to pay before those 2 months.

And then the trouble comes in: imagine: you getting your wage after only 2 months...
(My advise to anyone becoming independent: make sure you have a serious money pig aside to fill this gap of cashflow. Really)
I was prepared for it when I started. And I still am. But I do see a huge shift in paying habits of the clients. They all pay a little later than before.
You often have to send a 'reminder'.

So I am happy to see the Zoom-It initiative. It is e)invoicing but even better. Because e-invoicing means your clients gets the invoice by mail in its mailbox. Zoom-it means your client get his invoice in his bankaccount.
Each time he opens his e-banking he'll see this or that invoice is still due.
And that's something I like.
I want my client to see that he still owes me in an obvious place. Where better than in your e-banking?
I am happy to see my invoicing software coops with them, so I can send invoices out of my software straight to the client.

Banks cooperating: KBC, Fintro, Dexia, Fortis, ING, Landbouwkrediet, AXA, Centea.
Receiving ZoomIt documents is free, sending them is at a cost.
Prices are not known yet...

Pecha Kucha Ghent

A while ago, C and I were considering starting up a Pecha Kucha Ghent. But due to very busy work for both of us, we kind of delayed things.
And then suddenly, someone contacted me, asking if I wanted to present myselef on Pacha Kucha Ghent on May 27th.
A group of people at Sint Lucas Ghent took the initiative to organise it, and I am glad they did!
So I'll be speaking at the first Pecha Kucha Ghent with some great minds (A bit impressed by those by the way..)

Puts tail between legs: Tried it out yesterday, 20 seconds per slide is really really quick. So I am off trying to make a good presentation.

Btw, there is a Pecha Kucha Brussels on May 20th.
For both events, registration is needed!

In case you might be looking for a pool for a bbq.

Karine is a friend of a friend, and thus became a friend of mine.

Karine decided to go the Africa and volunteer in a WildLife Foundation caring for wild and wounded animals.
For that reason she's organizing loads of stuff (mainly: selling her friends for all kind of events).
You can bid on the item of your choice.
One of the great things amongst them is:
-Swimming pool and BBQ
-Getting a sleepover in Claudia's apartment.
- Whispering Bordel
-Thai cooking class by Zabine

You have to hurry as the bidding ends tonight!
We're seriously considering the Swimming Pool Bid (especially because there is a beautiful assistent ;) )

Check everything over here!

The Information Machine (Mash up)

This video is a mash-up of the “The Information Machine,” by Charles and Ray Eames. The original was produced for the IBM Pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair, and attempted to demonstrate how modern computing and human creativity were developing hand in hand.

Additional footage comes from the 2007 IBM Global Leadership Forum held in Washington, DC. Those speaking include IBM CEO Sam Palmisano, IBM Senior Vice President for Technology and Manufacturing Nick Donofrio, and US Department of Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez.

Speech coaching. The strength of a presentation is not the slides you make, it’s the story you tell!
PowerPoint has celebrated its 20th birthday. For Robert Gaskins though, the creator of the product, this was not his most joyful event. He is not happy the way his product is used in business environment. And neither am I….
The objective of my presentation is to awaken everyone who uses PowerPoint in presentations. With a few simple guidelines your message is so much more powerful. PowerPoint is a wonderful tool, provided you use it as a visual aid. The strength of a presentation is not the slides you make, it’s the story you tell! To ensure real individual and targeted coaching sessions, could participants send me as soon as possible a PowerPoint presentation they have done?

Des exemples comme ceux-là, nous en avons tous vécus, que ce soit au boulot, dans nos activités associatives ou en famille. Il est pourtant possible de trouver le “juste milieu” entre le fait de tenir compte des autres et de leurs contraintes, tout en affirmant avec sérénité mais clarté le droit que nous avons tous de nous (faire) respecter.

Wolves touching ground.

Cai Guo-Qiang is one of the most prominent living Chinese artists. Trained in theatre design, in 1999 he won the International Prize at the 48th Venice Biennale. He is best known for his firework-based set-piece installations and for drawings made using ink and gunpowder. In November, a set of 14 untitled drawings by the artist sold at Christie’s, Hong Kong, for £9.5m ($19.1m)—setting a new record for a Chinese contemporary artist at auction.

The Guggenheim in New York hosts Cai’s first major retrospective, I Want to Believe. And this until May 28th.On none of my trips to NY, I happened to find time to visit this museum.
Hopefully next time it will be possible. And hopefully it is before May 28th...

You Are Beautiful

We live in a world that bombards us with fear-inducing marketing aiming to convince us that we're too ugly, too fat, or too old so that we'll go out and buy stuff to fix it. How often, if ever, do we get sweetly and succinctly told that there's nothing wrong with us? It's the simplicity behind You Are Beautiful that makes its message so immediate and powerful.

The creators of the site and all it's members are anonymous, choosing to let their message speak for itself. Collaborators design different versions of the three words "you are beautiful" and then hi-jack public areas that would normally contain advertising. From more traditional graffiti spaces to usurping billboards and lining the insides of advertising-riddled subway cars, the idea is to replace the ubiquitous consumer-driven messaging we normally see with a compliment. A little burst of positivity, unexpected in the midst of buy-buy-buy messaging, that asks us to do absolutely nothing but feel good about ourselves.

The collected images of how the message has manifested itself created an exhibition that's appeared in galleries around the world. Living up to the true nature of its movement, You Are Beautiful seeks out individuals to contribute as well. People can let out their inner artist with their very own version of the message, be it public or private, and send pics to the site for posting. The only thing they ask is that the message not be commodified or sold in any way - to just always be free and always be true to itself.

Plus, for just the price of postage, Are You Beautiful will mail you a free package of stickers. Spread the message, take pics of where you put your stickers, and send them to the site to be added to the collection.

So let us all collect some stickers and tag our cities with them!
I already ordered mine!

Club Med Testing for you :)

The very nice people of Club Med contacted me a while ago, wondering if I'd be interested testing their facilities and writing my experiences down.

A free midweek in Chamonix. Who'd say no to such an offer?
Not me!

So on Sunday I leave for few days to go and check their hotel, their spa, and I certainly hope to enjoy some skiing around.
I'll posting my pics and experiences on this site.

Yesterday I received the program, and I have to say: 'Mjammie'.
Each Club Med Village has its own 'specialties' and Chamonix, features, except for its magnificent view on the Mont Blanc, a spa, sauna, beauty center for 'new energy', good food and a very charming hotel. And snow, of course.

'New Energy', let that be what I need right now, so I am definitely looking forward to the Balinese massage we receive upon arrival.

(*Disclaimer: Yes, Club Med is paying this press trip for me. -And a bunch of other journalists.-)

Rainwater Hog

A nice and easy solution to collect rainwater.

"The Rainwater Hog (2006) is a small-scale modular storage tank for collecting rainwater that can be reused for watering plants, washing the car or whatever you need...The Hog can be installed vertically against a wall, or horizontally, and it's specifically sized to fit between structural frames. One unit holds 47 gallons of rainwater collected from a downspout, and if a larger capacity is needed, simply attach another Hog. A percentage of sales will go to the nonprofit Water Aid. Also in keeping with the eco-conscious Hog, is the fact that it ships without packaging. Other than a small box holding an Elbow Vent and Connector taped to the unit, the Hog arrives unwrapped, unboxed and just as you see it pictured. A Leaf Catcher/Outlet Kit must be purchased (sold separately) for the Hog. (Subsequent Hogs can be added without needing extra Leaf Catcher/Outlet Kits.) A Wall-Mounting Kit is also available for vertical installation."

I admit, I especially see the use for it on travelling vans ;)

Noon Solar Announces Spring 2008 Collection of Bags

I have been looking for a ecological way to load my mobile and ipod.I already found the simple solar panels, but this solar bag is a better solution: the panels are built in, so they don't take extra space. You can arrive at work and put the bag near sunlight (even if cloudy) and it will charge the internal battery.A pity they're sold out, and a fancier design would fit them better.
Noon Solar is releasing a new collection in April. So hurry to check them out :)

Running a Mux

Totally hot again: digital tape mixing :)

Remember the days you had nothing but a little tape recorder and internal fm recorder. Clicking record, stopping, rewind, forward rewind, finding the end of the song. Waiting until the presenter announced a song and try to catch a song without too much dj talk inside of it.
It was the end of the 80's, the beginning of StudioBrussel. I was 12, and got my first simple taperecorder and 2 tapes for my christmas.
And it was sheer happiness.

So here's Muxtape. The site, created by New York based web designer and photographer, Justin Oullette allows users to create their own mixtape by uploading their 12 song playlist, then storing said muxtape on their own subdomain. Users can then share their creation by sending a link to their friends. No copies to distribute. No mess. It’s all so very clean and filled with Ajax-y goodness. Anyone want to start a Muxtape club?

For all of you who want to be reminded of those days, or for all of you who want to experience how it used to be before cdplayers, and mp3's ;)

Apple NYC running out of iPhones

For the people going to the states, you might want to try your luck in another state...

Then again:

If you were planning to buy an iPhone at one of the three New York Apple Stores, then you might be out of luck. According to The Huffington Post, the SoHo, 59th Street (5th Avenue Store), and new W 14th Street locations are all sold out of this hot little phone.

At the 59th Street store, an Apple employee was quoted saying, "You can always go online." So, if you are looking for an iPhone in NY, you might be left only two options:AT&T stores, or Apple's online store.

Update: the online US Apple Store is showing "5-7 days" shipping time for both the 8 and 16 GB models.

I wonder if this shortage has to do with the lack of supply or with the fact a new (3g?) will be on the way? When the US Apple Store lacks models, something else might be going on...

Boobs and Dinks Early Detection Kits

While testicular and breast cancer is something we might not want to think about, Shanon Gerdard uses humor to eliminate some of the fear surrounding that dreaded monthly self-exam. Her Boobs and Dinks Early Detection Kits include crocheted breasts or penises that contain small lumps that can be found by following instructions provided in the accompanying booklets. On top of everything else, she donates $5 from every sale to Cottage Dreams, a cancer recovery initiative in Haliburton, Ontario.

Learning online

I have been busy the last few days looking for some interesting classes online
(Finding turbo classes off line turned out less successful..)

The best I found until now is definitely Aperture Classes from Apple. For free.
(Admitted I like those of SlideShowPro too, but, well, I am more in search for some specific classes for the moment.)
Why the best? Because they're short, well lay-outed, real-time examples, and the overview rocks. Visited presentations get a mark. And you surely get a good overview of what is avalable, all of the time.
It never gets boring.

The other big winner is Lynda.com. And as I have been following the free classes of Indesign, and Illustrator, I am planning to digg into it during the next weeks, on the paid version.
Need to plan a bit though.

I want to digg into:
-Photo-altering (and Yes, I am totally into Aperture as it covers everything I need, and is a true time saver compared to what we did with photoshop back in the early days. Yes, it is slow compared to Lightroom, but dunno, I like this workpalette.)
-Photoshop for webdesign
-Indesign for brochures
-Illustrator for web and for design

Invest.in.Belgium.

It contains a bunch of memories for me.
But it also reminds me of a not so beautiful website (with an awful CMS)
Glad to see they released a new campaign.
And if more great to see an updated website which looks an lot nicer.

Congrats Bart and the rest of your team.

Museumtalks

Finally!

I have been preaching this as an example in my podcast 'initiatives' for months.
Someone must have picked it up ;) (Just joking, I believe in 'the moment' aspect of this one. Several people where thinking of such a thing)
And now museumtalks is live and well: an alternative audioguide for museums, free and to take along on your ipod or alike.
A well moneysaver for both museum and visitor (no fees for the existing audioguide and no need for personnel to maintain it)
And the best advertisement a museum can ask for...

People in jail

As some of you know (but certainly not all) I spent 6 months in a jail.
Not as a prisoner, but as a photographer. :)

I am still interested in photography of this subject, and Jane Evelyn Atwood made a huge series on it.

Some of her amazing pictures are to be seen in Justitiepaleis, in Brussels from March 10 til March 31.

Some of the images can be seen here.

Kluster’s 72 Hour TED Challenge

Kluster, founded by friend and young punk Ben Kaufman is in full force here at TED. The former iPod accessory entrepreneur recently (ie: last week) launched his new platform to allow groups of people (just like you and me) to affect decision making processes inside what for has long been a buttoned up-decision making process. I encourage everyone to pop by the site, check out some of the open projects and watch the tutorials to learn more. It’s a truly unique and game changing proposition.

The deal at TED is simple; Kluster is going to create a brand new product in the next 72 hours, with the help of the “1000 brightest people in the world” and all of you. That time is broken down into phases starting with the inception (the idea), through industrial design, naming, engineering, identity and branding, ad campaign, and finally packaging. There’s a good 7 hours left in the first phase (brainstorming the product idea), where users can contribute ideas (sparks) as well as invest their currency (watts) towards the future of the project. The team has kitted out a hotel room suite with all the fixings of a true prototype lab, 3D printers and tools. 72 hours from now, we’ll see what idea rises to the top and into the hands of everyone involved.

To make the deal a little sweeter, the team at Kluster put up $15,000 in rewards. Fancy yourself an innovator and think you can contribute? Time is running out. Go get involved!

Josworld goes M'aTuVu

You’re a creative person and you would like to exhibit your work ?
You have something to show the world?

Then you’ll have the possibility to show yourself by means of the project « M’ATUVU ». Maybe you will soon be able to admire your own work in the exhibition space of JosWorld. This space will be thrown open for expositions, completely low profile. Also music, theatre, dance and performance will be given a chance, as long as creativity makes up the central concept.

« M’ATUVU » is a project of JosWorld, a graphics collective and non-profit organization that wants to inject new life into the cultural world by means of inventive and creative projects. The exhibition space of the collective is situated in Lakensestraat, in the middle of the Brussels cultural neighbourhood. Here Josworld organizes exhibitions, but also happenings and performances. The main commitment of this all: creating a dazzling dynamism between creative persons, artistic projects and the cultural neighbourhood.

The « M’ATUVU » shopwindow is available for individual artists or collectives for 2 week periods.
This way we want to maintain a dynamic creative flow, and give as much artists as possible the chance to expose their ideas.

We are actively on the lookout for - and encouraging people to show off their work. This way we want to build a complete network of young creatives.
Interested? Just email us at matuvu@josworld.org. That’s it!…

Looking for a case for the iPhone

Ok, so I ended up with this flashy thing (which I hide quite often, I only brag on this blog ;) )
Now I started looking for a casing, as the thing is known to drop and to break often enough to make sure it will happen one day, to me...

My favorites list of iPhone Casing / Sleeves:

Handmade vilt from workingclassheroes.
Seriously considering this one, rather high priced..

A casing in wood. How's that for cool?
Hand carved and pretty eco (except fo the trees that are cut down of course..)
From Miniot

Croc leather, flip case, from Sena. A favorite in my eyes.



The incase urban rubber protective cover.
Looks less classy.. yet still handy and cheap.

Vajacases do offer something classy :)

The incase plastic slider.

Which one would you advise?

About beer and marketing...

What does a cult brand look like? Well, here's one example.

A religious order of silent monks in Belgium creates a cult beer. It's calledWestvleteren. You must make an appointment to buy it. To make an appointment, you call the monks' Beer Phone. Yes, it's called the Beer Phone. The monks may talk while on the Beer Phone. You may buy only two cases at a time. The beer is sold once per month. The monks do not advertise, nor do they label the bottles. They make 60,000 cases per year; that's 5,000 cases per month, or 120,000 bottles. Tales abound of people driving 16 hours across parts of Europe for a beer run. Some experts call it the best in the world. The monks believe, truly, that they "sell beer to live, and not vice versa."

Besides being what people describe as an excellent beer, Westvleteren has developed into a cult brand based on its rituals. All of the items mentioned above are ritualistic. Make an appointment. Call the Beer Phone. Two-case limit. No label. A regular release schedule. A unifying belief system. However they're defined and practiced, rituals embody culture. They are symbolic expressions of a company's values.

A cult brand like Westvleteren is created by people religiously devoted to their craft. The monks in Belgium are serious about their business, but they do not obsess over maximizing profit or monetizing eyeballs. They do not do brand extension. They embrace scarcity as a necessary component of quality, thereby ensuring future value.

It is culture that creates a cult brand.

Repetto x Earnest Sewn Organic Shoes

Earnest Sewn and French footwear company Repetto are collaborating for limited-edition eco-friendly shoes as part of Barneys "Greencaste" line. Together they enlisted Cone Denim, the country's oldest denim factory (and the same one that's behind Loomstate's green jeans for Barneys), to ensure a 100% organic product. In fact throughout the entire weaving process, starch is the only addition to the natural fiber.

- MobileScrobbler (music on the iphone) ****

- Youtube (great interface) **
- Pushr (pushes your pics to flickr, moblogging it is) (Camera pro will solve this in a better way i hope) *
- Facebook (is actually a much better interface than the normal version) *

Things that bother me:

- Spamfilter. There is no spamfilter on the mail app. Awful...
- Mail syncronisation. It is awful. I'll need to make imap active. Anyone did this and had problems with it?
- Missing wireless sync
- Syncing with several libraries for iPod (because I want to sync with different macs)

Things that worked out fine:

- Syncing info with mac (after the hack) wasn't any problem at all.
- Installing the voicemail button so it works with ordinary voicemail.
- Installing Dutch for T9 (My phone stays in english, but for t9 it is rather easy to have Dutch supported)

To do:

Instal MT update so it works for iphone for moblogging :)
(Or switching to Wordpress and use their plugin for iPhone Admin)
(Guess I will install that one on C's blog already ;) )

Otto Lange's painting blog

C. Chaney says: "This is artist Otto Lange's weblog about his artwork. The paintings are truly wonderful and his writing is REALLY funny too. The funny thing is that the funny little essays usually have absolutely nothing to do with the artwork." Link

Now this is interesting: Otto Lange has a blog. Showing his paintings. And selling them on eBay.
When you click a link (His beautiful brownie for example) you notice the guy doesn't make bad money with it.
I mean, of course many artists get a lot more when showing in galleries and sofort. But small ones, not even known might find this way an interesting way to sell art.

His work being featured on BoingBoing might help ;)

Books, books, books

We went to Fnac last weekend and totally lost ourselves in the book department.
I bought this one 'Brochures' on beautiful graphical design for 'brochures' :)

The very descriptive title ' An Essential Primer for Today's Competitive Market' summarizes it all.

Nice designs, nice tips, and I especially liked the 50 tips for creativity.

I could have bought a whole lot more, but admitted, our weekly budget was spent, so we went home, and digged ourselves in our newly acquired treasures...

Nokia Trends Lab

Due to an awkward coincidence ('we need someone who can work with mac and knows a bit about javascript') I am travelling around (sitting in Mechelen today, Antwerp tomorrow and Amsterdam the end of the month)

What am I doing: making sure the Nokia Trend Lab gets features on the streets and in discotheques. (Read: the computers doesn't fail on us...)

While the program is running -and not crashing ;) - I have some time to check the site.

It is interesting to see at this moment, brands are taking art and creativity into account, integrating it into their marketing. Personal identity, and personalization.

As artists had to make sure they got subsidized by government, I think many of them now see (or should see) opportunities like these, and experience them as new possibilities.

Lomo LC-A Buy-out.

Quite a marketingcampaign..

They're taking old broken cams back, for 100 euro, to be spent in their shop.

Knowing that htese cams costed a 150 euro back when, it's a good bargain for a broken camera I think.

And a perfect way to show your customers that you're addicted to your own stuff, and eco friendly on top of that. (And probably able to make a lot of money out of it too...)

Onme Belt

For those days when you need your cell phone, keys and wallet but don't feel like carrying a purse, the onme bag is a perfect companion.

These were being carried in Fred Segal for a while but the designer has them made by hand and couldn't keep up with orders, so I'm thrilled to see them available again.

It's made in downtown LA of sweatshop free labor from a super soft leather.

Aanrijding in Moscou

I remember years ago, when being one of the first times in Ghent, seeing a tram with destination 'Moscou'.
Only much later I discovered Moscou is a part of town in Ledeberg.
Still makes me smile when jumping on the tram.

Today a new Flemish movie is being released 'Aanrijding in Moscou' (Watch the trailer until the end ;P)

(Update: the Russian translation is even more hilarious!!!)

Pecha Kucha

We went to Pecha Kucha last night.

Like last time, it turned out an interesting event, especially due to one speaker.Jean Paul van Bendegem, logic and philosophy of science, turned out to be a splendid 'pechacha' person. His presentation 'Wunderkammer' was light and interesting, yet so well presented. He's the reason why next time I'll be going again.

And you?

Innertube bags

Dutch bag designers krejci produces bags and accessories all made from recycled inner tubes and
felt. The rubber tubbing is sourced from bike tires and air mattresses and makes their bags extremely durable.
The company uses environmentally conscious production methods, having each bag hand-made at a sewing shop in Warsaw, Poland.

Send A Message

Have you ever wanted to travel to Palestine just to write a message of love in graffiti for your sweetie? Or perhaps you wanted to tell that buddy of yours that he owes you $20 bucks and just wanted it to be visible on something as divisive as a wall to illustrate the rift the debt has caused between the two of you? Well now you can do both of those. At Send A Message you pay and Palestinians Spray! For a mere 30 Euros, you can have your message of love or debt collection spray painted on this 620 Kilometer fence. In return, you get 3 digital photos to share with those who the message is aimed at.

All kidding aside, the wall is a great project, a collaboration between Dutch advertising professionals and creative Palestinian youth, each message posted reminds Palestinians trapped inside the Wall they have not been forgotten, helping to keep hope alive. The project also allows those inside those wall to send one single, simple message: “we are human beings, just like you, with sense of humor and lust for life.” That’s why they do this, and enjoy it.

Counting down

We weren't half of our trip when C. mentioned: in 7 days the LWord will be on.

So yesterday we looked for some possibilities to download the thing. We were given a nice P2P link, but it would have taken us 6 hours to get it. Something nor I, nor C were ready for.

So I looked a little further and was glad to see this thread: a direct link to the new episode...

15min later we were watching.

WWF fishmen out in the wild

Usually it's Greenpeace or Gaia who come out and grab our attention by using stunts. This time it's World Wide Fund For Nature (formerly known as World Wildlife Fund) and to my knowledge that's a first. WWF Belgium has just launched their new awareness campaign, based around a tool called Climate Impact Reducer. It teaches people how they can stop climate change (aka global weirdness) by doing small things every day. The counter on the right hand side of this post shows how the meme is catching on.
To kick off the campaign, fishmen like the one you can see in the pic showed up at Brussels Midi train station. Anyone got pictures of the fishmen in action? Their Flickr campaign set doesn't have them yet, and neither does their official campaign website or the WWF YouTube channel. What I want to know is: how did commuters react? Did they confuse it with the recent Music For Life campaign by Studio Brussel, which was also based around the theme "water" (but with a completely different angle)?

Hof Van Cleve (Dutch)

We werden eergisteren uitgenodigd naar Hof Van Cleve.
Een uitnodiging die men niet snel afslaat, me dunkt.

Als Bob van dienst zou ik ons gezelschap terug heelhuids thuisbrengen.
En een Bob is geen overbodige luxe bedachten wij ons, terwijl we ons door de kleine straatjes richting restaurant manoevreerden.

Een ruim welkomstcomitee (voor elke vrouw een man) ontnam ons van onze jassen terwil de gastvrouw ons welkom heette, waarna we werden begeleid naar onze tafel.
Een gezellige 'chicque' die hele avond werd aangehouden maar aangenaam werd onderbroken door de sympathieke obers. Onze gastvrouw had ons op voorhand al gewaarschuwd 'Breng een 'sjakos' mee, die zetten ze dan op een tafeltje', en inderdaad. Het proberen waard :)

De menukeuze was snel gemaakt. Het 'Menu van de Ontdekking' zou ons de volgende 11 gangen bezig gaan houden. Voor de anderen met begeleidende wijnen, voor mij met 'sprankelend water'.

Na de kleine smakelijke hapjes, begaven wij ons op, voor ons, culinair ijs, en schaatsten doorheen de voortreffelijke bereidingen.

Waar de titels op de menukaart ons summier leken (Zeeuwse Platte Oester, Buik van Tonijn 'Bleufin', Zeescheermes, St Jacobsvrucht uit Dieppe, Langoustine 'Guilvinec', Deense Kabeljauw, Oosterschelde Paling, Haas 'Van bij ons', Peer 'Doyenné du comice', Chocalade 'Equador', Chocolade en zoetigheden) werden deze poetisch vertaald tot een waar kortverhaal.
Waarop iemand van het gezelschap de ober gevat antwoordde 'Ligt dit allemaal op mijn bord?'

En dit vat onmiddellijk het menu samen: de 3 sterren van Hof Van Cleve bevinden zich duidelijk in het complexe samenspel van de verschillende, uitgebreide, niet altijd evidente ingredientenkeuzes.
Dit is de ene keer hemels (zoals bij de Buik van Tonijn, of de St Jacobsvrucht), de andere keer komt het nagenoeg een beetje 'te' over.
Waarbij we ons natuurlijk gewagen aan kritiek als onervaren stuurlui.
Want laat het duidelijk zijn: het eten en het hele gebeuren was een waar genot.

Maar in overdaad.
Wat mij onmiddellijk brengt tot mijn grootste commentaar: tot de desserten was het menu licht en verteerbaar. Mijn tafelgenoten verkeerden al in een iets lichter euforische sfeer door de wijnen, waar mijn euforie vooral te wijten was aan het gadeslaan van het hele gebeuren.
Maar bij de desserten aangekomen overviel plots zwaarte van 'overdosis'.
Daar waar voor mij even eerder alles nog vlot door de keel ging, voelde ik plots dat de maag protesteerde..
We zaten overvol.
Toen eenieder alsnog de laatste zoetigheden probeerde tot zich te nemen, op de rand van misselijk worden, kwam de ober met 'oliebollen'.
Een ware Aha-Erlebenis, helaas in de minder positieve zin. Onze gezichten verraadden wat onze buik ons probeerde te zeggen 'Dit is teveel'.

In dit menu had er gerust een gang minder gemogen. Het spreekt voor zich dat als je gaat eten in dergelijk restaurant je niet de neiging hebt dingen te 'laten liggen' en graag alles proeft.
Als dit leidt tot een opgeblazen gevoel, na een reeks van voortreffelijke gangen, is dit, wat mij betreft, een gemiste afsluiter.
Een beetje jammer voor een voor de rest perfect geslaagde avond.

En de oliebollen blijf ik een ongelukkige keuze vinden. Niemand van ons heeft een seconde eraan gedacht er eentje te nemen.

Hoewel..

(De rekening vraagt u? Wij kwamen er vanaf met een prijskaartje van 290 euro pp)

Leuk om weten:
U reserveert best lang van tevoren. (Alle info op de site).
Voor de rokers is er geen rokersruimte, maar er is wel een poncho om u warm te houden :)
Bij het buitengaan ontvangt u (naast de rekening ;) ) ook een leuk boekje en het menu als herinnering.

Nice assignment

Picture this: for The Landscapegroup, a communication buro, I had to takes pictures on the Agribex Farmers Fair in Brussels.

Doesn't sound so appealing. Well, you might be surprised, the stand I had picture was beautifully designed by Willy Hebbrecht (who urgently needs a portfolio site according to me...)

Immediately going to a fair turned into a nicer experience. Really. Tiny details in the plugs, or the design seats one never saw before. Suddenly my assignment turned into something much more daring: picture it right.

Here are the results.

For Toro.

Willy Hebbrecht btw you should google. Nice achievements..

How To... Make This Chalkboard Wall Calendar

Personal schedules can get completely out of whack this time of year. Keep it all right in front of you with a giant Chalkboard Wall Calendar. Learn how to make the one pictured above here, from Martha Stewart...

All it takes is black and white chalkboard paint. Start with solid black and gradually lighten random squares by mixing in degrees of white. Even when you're not using the calendar, it makes for a bold, graphic accent wall.

Belgian Design Forum

A while ago I already mentioned the launch of the BelgianDesignForum.
Today I received an invite for their event 'Service Design'
At 100 euro (and free for students) it is a cheap* event with yet some interesting people.
And with a walking dinner afterwards, and plenty of room to meet some design-freaks :)

(compared to 500 euro marketing days...)

A Bridge for Contemporary Art

Interesting to expand exhibitions to abroad...:

A Global Call to Artists has been posted at http://becagallery.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/11/beca-gallery--1.html

New Orleans, LA, USA – A new programme for emerging contemporary art has planted itself among the arts and cultural renewal of New Orleans, LA, a city which has historically been one of the most international of US cities. In the midst of the post-Katrina landscape BECA gallery is surfacing as a bridge by which emerging contemporary art flows between New Orleans and the larger contemporary art community abroad. The gallery is an 1100 square foot renovated warehouse space situated in the heart of the New Orleans arts district. It is located directly across the street from the Contemporary Arts Center and within close walking distance to the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. BECA gallery will host 12 exhibits each year. Six exhibits feature local emerging contemporary art and 6 exhibits feature international emerging contemporary art.

The gallery was founded by co-directors Melissa Roberts and Kurt Schlough as a place for both innovative local and international emerging contemporary art to grow and flourish in an environment that is accommodating to both artists and collectors. A unique component of the gallery program focuses on the introduction of innovative international contemporary art to the city of New Orleans and its surrounding region via physical exhibits as well as future virtual exhibits and exchange partnerships with other galleries and projects. The latter will serve both future local artist members as well as those artists exhibiting from abroad.

The theme of the gallery’s first international exhibition, opening February 9, 2008, is Connection curated by Caroline Worthington, Curator of Art, York Museums Trust, York Art Gallery. She looks forward to her pioneering position and writes, “As BECA gallery’s first international curator, it seems to me that the theme of connections is an obvious choice to reflect the aspirations for their programme. Working from the UK, I’ll be weaving together those invisible threads that spin outwards from each of us, connecting you with each other as well as to BECA and me.

Mine Interactive Magazine

There certainly not the first nor the last, but Mine launched an 'interactive magazine'

At nr2 now, I found myself laughing a lot with their links to the funniest videos on YouTube.
Apparently there is a car to win. I didn't figure out how, though... :)
In a way a traditional 'adaption': putting a magazine online, yet, I still like the idea of scrolling through pages, while being able to go 'deeper' into it.

Pictobrowser updated

I still love to use Pictobrowser a lot, it is an easy tool to integrate Flickr in a fast way.
It's the perfect workflow: taking pic, importing them in Aperture (or Lightroom for that matter) and then with the FlickrExport plugin transferring them to Flickr. And with some clicks, featuring them on your website.

Some clicks or some more, as Pictobrowser got updated: you can easily change the look and feel of your slideshow. Amazingly cool!
They're also announcing Pictomanager, yet the domain is still empty, and no news on what exactly it is. Worth following up.

Woman are heroes

'Women are heroes' is a campaign telling the stories of strong women living in harsh conditions, not giving up life but instead trying to make the best out of it.
Check the some by Tom Helsen and the tv-spot.

Read more about this Doctors without borders campaign on the Noodkreten blog (Dutch)
The blog features interviews, video and audio by doctors, nurses, expats working for Doctors without borders.
A truly interesting insight in this world.

one laptop per child: gift idea n7

This one is a rather expensive gift, yet, again, a bunch of others are profiting from your present.

Give a laptop and get one (you can give to your littl' one)
Unfortunately only in the US, but as you all get these wonderful iPhones in the country, I am sure you can get one of these too...

From now through December 31, 2007, OLPC is offering a Give One Get One program in the United States and Canada. This is the first time the revolutionary XO laptop has been made available to the general public. For a donation of $399, one XO laptop will be sent to empower a child in a developing nation and one will be sent to the child in your life in recognition of your contribution. $200 of your donation is tax-deductible (your $399 donation minus the fair market value of the XO laptop you will be receiving).

All info on Laptopgiving.org

Apple presents: One day discount event, (giftidea n7)

As mentioned before, I wouldn't mind anyone giving me an Apple iPhone.
The thing isn't available in Belgium, yet, it shouldn't stop you from checking the Apple shop today, as it is 'shopping day' today with great discounts.
I shopped last year and bought myself an Airport Express at 89 euro instead of 119.
So it is really worth checking out, iPods don't drop so much in price, but all other accessories are worth considering buying it today.
JBL On Time Speakers at 144 instead of 229 for example.

MadGirlNancy, giftidea n6

A truly charming story of the people behind MadGirlNancy:

We travelled the world, came back after some months and then decided this wasn't the life we wanted to lead.
So we took our chances, sold everything and went back to Thailand to make our own collection of bags.
Meanwhile we present collection 2.
We achieved our dream: half a year in Belgium and half a year in Thailand.

Their story makes me smile and convinces me to go for my dreams.
Meanwhile I also like their bags, key rings, tees and many more.
A pity their collection pics are rather small online...

Perfect holiday gift though. So go and check it out ;)

Anyone who wants to bring me an iPhone from the States is welcomed...
Meanwhile I can advise you these:

Or the prada... Just plain beauty...

First one in the White Cat. With free entrance! On Friday Nov 30th.
Second one on Dec 1th in Sioux: 'Episode 1' (never knew there was an episode 2 in becoming 30 ;) )
Entrance is 5 euro, but certainly worth it.

Gift Idea (n4): Perfect Christmas present: Buy some carbon

This is your situation: you need to buy a present for some family/friend/cousin/nephew/mum/grandmom/blogger/whatever and he/she has everything. We mean 'EVERYTHING'.

Sure you recognize this situation... Heck, you have EVERYTHING yourself (except that fancy iPhone nobody is going to buy you for your christmas anyway...)

Your problem: you don't know what to buy.
Your solution: 1) spend hours and hours for the perfect gift and be afraid of ending up with something he/she already has, or wasn't exactly the thing he/she wanted 2) buy a piece of junk that will make them unhappy anyway, 3) buy a lousy voucher that will make you look like 'I didn't know what to buy so I bought this lousy voucher'-loser. (voucher are so nineties...)

I have a real solution for you:

Buy some rainforest!
Advantages:
-It's ecological
-It's original
-It's tax-deductible ;)
-Always good: Your WWF cousin, your gay neighbors, or your nearly married friends, they'll all love it. (except your grand mom who doesn't understand it) (Imagine: you'll be giving some people their first piece of land ever)
-It's worth the 50 euro/piece as you'll be saving 300 species of beautiful (or ugly) bugs and flowers. And most of all, so you'll be saving some oxygen for later. (Yes, it's also a present for yourself.)

The coolest (geekiest) part of it? You can check your/his/her piece of land on Google Earth

(Tx to C for bringing this up)

Heerlijk Hoorspel (Gift Idea n2)

Few days ago I got a mail asking me if I wanted to receive 'Heerlijk Hoorspel'
As somewhere mentioned in a disclaimer on this site, I don't mind people sending marketing stuff. As long as they respect my 'If I don't like it I'll neglect it' warning.
I have neglected some stuff in the past.

But not this one! Nono!
I received 'Wilde Zwanen' yesterday. I intended to put it away for my littl' bro's christmas.
That was until I decided to check it out first.
Imagine this: 4 people (roommates, my love and me) sitting in our living room at 12pm, listening to Hans Christian Andersen, told by Warre Borgmans.
First C. was making fun at me 'You're actually dancing to this' but minutes later, when I said I was going to buy this for a bunch of other kids and adults, she looked at me saying 'I want it too...'
It is sooooo crazy cool, I really am going to buy it for that whole bunch of people, it's the perfect christmas present.
Even for adults (with a kid's mind that is ;) )

Some details:
Warre Borgmans tells the story, Peter Van de Veire is a dead DJ, Gene Bervoets is a bishop, Frank Focketeyn a ghost, and here are many more.
It takes (unfortunately not more than) an hour and is split in 3 pieces, making it perfect for a bed time story, but also for a silent sunday afternoon (when combined with the online games)
It fits in the cd player of your car, shortening your drive to grandmom, and will not bother you to listen along.
Why? Because it's crazy cool, features some pipikaka sing-a-long-songs, and has some hidden 'you have to know' items that your children won't get but will make you smile.
At 20 euro it's a bargain: you receive a cd, a little booklet with the original story, and the adapted one, with beautiful graphics.

I am totally in love with it. (And almost running to the shop for the other one they released)

You can check out the website for some video and audio. (But at the time writing, something seems wrong with that.)

Gift ideas (n1)

As holidays are nearing I'll be adding some gift ideas for those in search for an original present.

(Not to mention most of this stuff is on my personal wishlist)

First on the list: Threadless.com with their numerous fancy T-shirts. At the low dollar rate and prices of 10$, pretty cheap presents to buy. Perfect for the littl' bro or nephew. With a few extra you can lighten up some other people too as occasional present.

Pecha Kucha, v1

C made a nice sum up of things that were superb lat night at Pecha Kucha Brussels.
With more than enough people to attend, the event turned out a success I think.

What's Pecha Kucha, you ask?
Clearly the reporter who called me during the day didn't do his research to well...
No, it isn't a 'how to learn how to present'-event.
Instead it is a daring challenge for the speaker to explain what he or she is busy with, in only 5 minutes, during 20 slides.
The subject? Could be anything.
From their site:

Pecha Kucha, a Japanese expression for the sound of conversation, is a series of “show and tell evenings” for designers, architects, artists, creatives, … started by Klein Dytham Architecture in Tokyo.
Since 2003, groups have sprung up in cities all over the world (over 80 so far) and adopted the Pecha Kucha format: each presenter has 20 slides which are displayed for 20 seconds each.

10 speakers instead of 15, who'd talk 20 seconds on 20 slides.
I liked it. For my favs, look at Soundscapes (though, after hearing Jan Kriekels for too many times, I'd leave him out of my list. Dunno why but I kind of think it is strange that when he talks about sustainability during his whole presentation, he always ends up with their 'Burning Man' project, where they burn almost half a rainforest...)

My remarks about the event?
I'd advise Nando to stick to the format of 10 people instead of 15. Longer is not necessary in my eyes: I got enough input for one night.
And the location was kind of hyped, yet not particularly perfect. I guess that had to do with the overwhelming response to the event.
(Similar to our 'find a parking spot' problem...)

Am I going to the second Pecha Kucha? Certainly!

El Hema

Genius idea: making a copy of Dutch Hema by turning it into El Hema, featuring special design variants of Dutch 'original' design...

The shop already won the Dutch Design Price.

'El HEMA

Open Wed / Thu / Fri / Sat 18:00-22:00 & Sun 14:00-18:00

Imagine an Arabic HEMA store. From the 25th of August 2007 to 6 January 2008 Mediamatic will present a design contest, an exhibition, workshops and shop night salons about El HEMA.'

Also truly interesting: submit your own designs

Crazy grandmom

Imagine your grandmom paragliding...
Now imagine her being age 100...
This one did it. Not to mention the other thing: she benji jumped at age 70.

A British pensioner marked her 100th birthday by setting what is believed to be a new world record on Wednesday after paragliding from the top of a mountain range in Cyprus.

Peggy McAlpine, who has seen the reign of five British monarchs and 26 prime ministers, leapt from a 760 metre peak in the Five Finger mountains in northern Cyprus for a 15-minute tandem flight.

The former accountant, who has two daughters, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, said she felt no nerves at her birthday stunt.

"I had a wonderful time and I would love to do it again but I will give it a few years and let someone else have a go at beating the record," she told the crowd of around 30 friends, family and press who gathered to watch the bid.

"If no-one else wants a go, I'll do it again when I am 105," she told AFP.

Table talks

Naar goede traditie stelt designbrussels, net zoals elk jaar, een centrale tentoonstelling voor. Vanuit een meer abstracte invalshoek op het feestelijke thema van de woon- en interieurbeurs hebben de organisatoren een voorwerp gekozen dat een centrale rol speelt in de feestelijke sfeer in onze woningen: de tafel. Dit jaar zijn de zijn de scholen en de jonge Belgische ontwerpers echter de échte hoofdrolspelers in deze ruimte. De toekomstige ontwerpers krijgen het gezelschap van min of meer bekende namen. Table talks … about|on|under (georganiseerd door Giovanna Massoni) is een ideale gelegenheid om de origineelste ontwerpen uit de Belgische designwereld en de frisheid en de authenticiteit van de geselecteerde ideeën te ontdekken: 10 tafels en meerdere tientallen voorwerpen (tafelkleden, textiel, tafelkunst, accessoires en... schoenen!).

Floor coverings

I wish I would have known this earlier. It might have been a cheaper solution for my for floor for the bathroom...

KERLITE PLUS, the ceramic solution you were looking for to renovate that old flooring. With a minimum height increase – from 3 to 3.5mm – KERLITE PLUS has a tough fiberglass mesh backing, doubling its cladding potential. The sky’s the limit for this stunning, minimum weight tile. With Kerlite it’s easy to lay new flooring in your home. But more than that, it’s economic and simple. KERLITE PLUS can be installed directly over existing flooring in wood, ceramic or any other compact type of surface. This is because the underside of the ceramic slab has been reinforced with a dense fiberglass mat. As well as allowing excellent heat conduction, this minimum thickness mesh ensures the tile sticks solidly to the adhesive spread on the substrate. With just 3.5mm additional floor height there’s no need to adjust the level of doors and jambs.

Good newsletters are fun to read

I got myself subscribed to a newsletter 'Bizz by Mail'

And it's great.
It's actually fun to receive it each morning and reading the crisp short messages.

Een succesvolle strategie is er een die u gemakkelijk kunt uitvoeren, een slechte strategie is eentje die niet werkbaar is. "Hoe weet u of uw strategie uitvoerbaar is?", luidt dan de hamvraag. U hebt heus geen uitgebreide haalbaarheidsstudie nodig om dat te testen. Een goeie strategie bevat richtlijnen waardoor de beslissingen van alledag bijdragen tot de doelstelling op lange termijn. Stel u de volgende vragen bij uw strategie:

- Helpt deze strategie bepalen wat ik (wij) wel doen en wat niet?
- Helpt deze strategie bepalen waarin ik het meeste tijd/geld/energie stop?
- Helpt deze strategie me uit verschillende werkwijzes kiezen hoe ik het liefste te werk ga?
- Helpt deze strategie het tijdschema en de volgorde van de acties bepalen?

Als u op deze vier vragen "ja" antwoordt, hebt u een scherpe strategie vastgelegd. U kunt deze proef toepassen op allerhande strategieën in uw onderne
ming (bedrijfsstrategie, rekrutering,...) of in uw leven (promotie afdwingen, vermageren,...).

Nice example of what a good newsletter should be :)

Wesc

We found Wesc when shopping in Brussels: a cool set of headphones...

But when googling I found this cool site, with a lot more than headphones. Guess that makes me hold off that buy (Never buy audio from clothing brands.)

WeSC is a street fashion brand for intellectual slackers. WeAretheSuperlativeConspiracy symbolizes what WeSC as a company represents; a group, a family of good and competent people working towards the same ideal and goals.
WeSC is not merely a brand in the fashion industry, but rather a company within the skateboard culture. We create “street fashion”, clothing with roots in a subculture that sets its own rules and follows its own trends.
The company was founded on January 7th 2000, our official “Day of The Superlative Conspiracy”. The founders are all avid skateboarders and snowboarders.

WeSC is addressing people with awareness, regardless of race, religion or financial background. These people all share the values and lifestyle of the WeSC founders. We deliver “life after skate”, a more developed style that also targets people outside the skateboard community, but still shares its values. The particular “We-feeling” and community feeling in the skateboard culture is an ever present important key element in day to day operations of the company.

We are the superlative conspiracy.

If I would like to work in a company again instead of being independent (well, actually, I am looking for a one-day-job-a-week-opportunity) I certainly would want to work for Fisheye.
They're like everything I would want to be involved with: interactive installations, video, podcasting, construction of stands, vj-ing at parties, office design..
Well, the only thing they don't do is web-design :)

They're looking for a motion graphic artist/specialist.
(with a profound knowledge of After Effects) You can contact them at info[at]fisheye.be or on: 09/227 24 52

Deezer

Deezer is the first juke box on demand totally free in the world!

Our concept is simple:
-Give consumers a full and free access to all their favourite songs
-Pay artists and their producers through a revenue share based on our advertising revenues
-Help discovering new artists through a wide audience

THE revelation of this weekend.
Since I have been in bed due to a strange kind of flue (or something alike...) it has been a welcome distraction.
And when the girl reads this post (trust me she'll read it faster than I can tell...) she'll be delighted.
Not being able to play the songs she likes was something bothering her on Last.FM.
I, on my side, miss the 'guiding aspect' a bit on Deezer.
But then again, it enabled me to listen to Amy Winehouse's older songs.

Found on Smetty's blog, who got it from Commisaresse, who got it from someone else...

Oh, can someone upload that Sarah Bettens cd, since I forgot to buy De Morgen yesterday... Tx :)

Surya Vanka.

Microsoft called to invite me for a dinner with Surya Vanka in Le Mess in Elsene, Brussels.
Surya is user experience expert and would reveal a bit on the design secrets of Microsoft.
The Zune, the wonderful Surface Table.. UI always leaves me with wonderful fascination, and it certainly so Surya might

Somehow I turned on the other side of the table due to my late arrival (Heck, finding the spot wasn't that easy I thought it'd be...)
I got great company though, and amused myself chitchatting.
And suddenly great food was served, and the clock pointed 10.30 PM... And I had to run to catch the last train.
Time went so fast, I didn't even met Surya.
Luckily Geert will send me a great PPT, and luckily there is internet and mail to ask those questions I always wanted to know.

I did meet Danny and got introduced to Petra and Caroline and wil certainly see them again next week. (Well, the girls, not Danny ;) )
And there was Pietel, who saved me from the whole train trip to Ghent, and just dropped me. He's such a cutie :)

As always I went to Spass, as their house photographer for the night.
This time the party started a bit strange, but then suddenly I found my feet killing me, and when we jumped into the car, the clock showed 5AM. Ouch!

I love Belgians!

I already mentioned 'Save Solidarity' which is a petition, and already received almost 50000 signatures.

I love Belgians isn't a petition, it's just a site where you can post a funny pic or a message.
For Walloons and 'Flandriens' who still love Belgium.

So why don't we start wearing black, yellow, or red? And form random Belgian flags in the streets? :)
(Oh, and picture it off course, on your blog...)

Nailing For Dummies

I'm not such a dummy when it comes to nailing (after one year of carpentry for my father that is). However I certainly hit several times my finger instead of the nail.

This is why I like this comcept:
You insert the nail inside the guide tube. Position the tube where you want the nail to be. The large top makes it much easier to manage a hammer slamming down on it. It also protects your precious and very useful fingers. Once the nail is pushed in, simply repeat the process. Your nail will always go in straight and square into its intended target.

Brilliant...

California Chair

Made by Belgian Pieter Maes, California Chair is looking for a solution on how to make a cheap chair.

The idea started with wanting to make a low-cost easy chair. Using skateboards for the majority of the structure, the price could be reduced significantly. The objective was making them unrecognisable so the chair didn’t have a street connotation. Therefore they’re padded and upholstered in Kvadrat to result in a luxurious and tactile seat.

Successful design I'd say :)

The Hulger Indian Call Centre

Did you know this?:

Off-shore agents, 'call centre executives' (as they are known locally), have undergone a program of 'culture sensitisation' and have been trained to recognise and understand British regional dialect. They have also been pre-programmed with all the right cultural references (yesterday's crappy weather, the weekend's football scores, etc.) so can chat easily and realistically with you.

Already people think 'Indian' when they hear of 'call centres'. Bangalore has become a global by-word for technological sweatshops.

As working hours are mapped to UK time, dealing with callers runs long into the night, with weary operators having to deal with 'irate customers' whilst their partners at home have long since gone to bed. The pressure and awkward hours effect relationships profoundly and India is feeling it.

But despite the mind-numbing repetitive work, the profession is relatively very well paid, with operators often being chauffeured to and from work. It is estimated that 5.4% of India's GDP is attributable to IT business outsourcing so it's not insignificant. With outsourcing so successful, and with a management and operational infrastructure in place, India is now also enjoying a bigger piece of the pie with companies like Microsoft, Intel, Motorola, Philips, etc. operating significant innovation and R&D centres in the country.

They're looking for artists...

„Syndrome“ is an exhibition-project by young artists from various European countries, who work on current cultural environments and their influences on the collective consciousness of communities. The exhibition will show a wide range of approaches to this field, ranging from installations, performances, theatre, photographie and video to studies in architecture and urbanism. The project itself is to be understood as a reaction to processes which have been termed as modern: the rise of migrations and hybrid and highly unstable environments. Syndrome is thus also intended as a laboratory of present cultural processes. The artists participating in Syndrome refer to to the experiences of fragmentation and crisis of the individual in communities which have been constructed along the breaking up of societal legitamized structures, codes and symbols i.e. the experience of everyday life. The exhibition will show the different stops of the laboratory and visitors will walk through the syndromes of various modern lifes.

But at Sept 22 and 23, some Belgian Designers are taking over the White Hotel with Designr.rvd. Not only can you see Belgian Design, you're also able to buy it.
And for the party animals: the Designr Party might be your cup of tea :)

'Saving Seeds'

'Saving Seeds' is a project started by some enthousiastics.
Prof Van Cottem, consultant for Unicef, is gathering as much seeds as possible for little gardens in fugutive camps in the Sahara in Algeria.
It's a simple way to collect your seeds of peppers, eggplants, avocado's, and others, dry them and send them to the professor.
In February 2008 these seeds will be planted to ensure a food supplement for the local inhabitants.

Why Prof Van Cottem doesn't want to work with seeds suppliers you're probably wondering.
Because of business interests.
So don't throw those pits, send them to Beeweg 36 B 9080 Zaffelare

Sideluck Potshow

Slideluck Potshow is a non-profit slideshow and potluck for members of arts, photography, and media communities. Participants bring food, drink, and up to five minutes worth of slides. The evening begins with a couple hours of dining on the home-cooked delights of participants, while drinking and mingling. It is not uncommon to arrive with, for example, a full-bodied bottle of wine, some vegetable samosas, Thai green curry, pumpkin ravioli, or some rosemary lamb chops. All guests are asked to contribute as the event is entirely dependent on participation. Following the potluck, the lights are dimmed, the crowd is hushed, and a spectacular slideshow commences.

Slideluck Potshow is a forum for exposing artists, curators and editors to new work, while infusing the arts community with a non-commercial vitality and refreshing exchange. Photojournalists, painters, designers, sculptors, fashion and fine art photographers all show their work alongside one another in a relaxed and spirited atmosphere. Presenters range from the very accomplished to those who have never shown work publicly before, but regardless of status, none is allotted more than five minutes for their slideshow. Past participants include; Elliott Erwitt, Chris Buck, Alec Soth, Martin Schoeller, Doug Menuez, Alex Majoli, Alistair Thain, Bruce Gilden, and Eugene Mirman.

Re-design of Soundscapes

While the design is nearly finished (some minor bugs when installing and adapting the new K2 theme), C keeps on whispering 'It's sooooo beautiful'. She even got me jealous ;)
Hope you like the new Soundscapes look.
(Yeayeah, we'll be changing the header soon as it is a bit to tall for smaller screens)

Note: K2 is fabulous yet gives some headaches once in a while...
-We cannot manage to change 'Blogroll' into another title (it appears twice then)
-When you call for an archive page the man title inside the template always refers to August, which is also when you click on another month. Strange...

Ine on Mo-magazine

Few days ago I got mail by Mo-magazine if they could feature some pics on their newly started photoblog.
So freshly on their blog: Iraq before the war (or Iraq under embargo, as you prefer.)

Info: back in april 2002, a friend journalist and I left for Iraq. Iraq was still ruled by Saddam back then (reminder: in March 2003 the US invaded Iraq again, and Saddam was captured)
In 2002, Iraq was suffering a worldwide UN embargo since 1990, and while this should have targeted Saddam, the big losers were the citizens of Iraq. Critics estimate that more than 500,000 Iraqi children died as a result of the sanctions (info).

My girlfriend wants me to take her to a restaurant...

Quite one, we'll have to wait for half a year before we can get in (and we'll need to fly to Barcelona): elBulli serves molecular cuisine by Ferran Adrià

2003. Science department in elBullitaller. Our interest in establishing a dialogue with science began to become consolidated in 2003 when we contacted Pere Castells, a scientist and gourmet. At first, the relationship was informal, but as the Alícia Foundation project took shape, it gradually took on a more professional nature, right up to the implementation of the science department, which represented a bridge between the Workshop and Alícia. With Pere Castells and Íngrid Farré, who joined soon afterwards, we began by organising ourselves, looking for a work structure, establishing contacts with manufacturers of food products, new devices or instruments, gathering information and reading books, and so on. From 2004 onwards, Pere and Íngrid carried on this research in Alícia. We also analysed the world of textures that we had created in recent years (foams, hot jellies, clouds, airs, texlavazza, spherification, etc.), and we decided to find out why these preparations were possible, what physical and chemical processes were involved and how the products that made these textures possible acted. All this was because of our conviction that awareness of the scientific processes involved in cooking constituted the basis for evolution.

Meanwhile I'll buy her one of his books ;)

Please meet Boutique Vizique! Boutique Vizique is Hendrik Leper and Stijn Schiffeleers, plus a bunch of other artists or experts they invite to collaborate with them once in a while.

Stijn and Hendrik are long known collegues in Ghent with whom I studied at the KASK.
Happy to see them featured on 'We make money not art'

Stijn and Hendrik come from Ghent. If you're into new media art, creativity and design you might have heard of that small-ish Belgian city. They trained as photographer, started working mostly with video, collaborated with sound artists and are now developing interactive installations. The kind we like: playful, witty and beautifully executed.

DNAStream

DNAStream is an online Joostclone. To me I couldn't care less. The content is surely interesting enough.

At this moment I am atching an incredibiliy documentary on 'Gay hidden sides on movies', explaining how gay was banned in American movies, and how this ban was stopped later on. Also how Hitchcock and others danced between the lines, and how they managed to bring messages anyway.
Much better than the VTM and Eéns of this time :)

Vitrine 2007

For ten days solid, Belgian and international fashion designers, fashion students at the Flemish Fashion Departments present their work in shop windows all over the city. Taking the general idea of a shop window to the creative limit, all sorts of shop windows get radically redressed, stocked with surprising goods or transformed into imaginative playgrounds.
VITRINE 2007 - SURFACES

This year’s theme for VITRINE will be SURFACES, in which the participants are challenged to make their own surface in the city centre, think about other and new surfaces, projections, the backstage, the catwalk, or more intimate with a pattern or embroidery...

From the 6th of September til 16th.

Paradise now...

Yesterday we watched 'Paradise now' a movie on a day in the life of 2 suicide bombers. I admit, I still am attracted to movies coming from Israel or Palestine.

PARADISE NOW" is the story of two young Palestinian men as they embark upon what may be the last 48 hours of their lives. On a typical day in the West Bank city of Nablus, where daily life grinds on amidst crushing poverty and the occasional rocket blast, we meet two childhood best friends, Saïd (Kais Nashef) and Khaled (Ali Suliman), who pass time drinking tea, smoking a hookah, and working dead-end menial jobs as auto mechanics.

Saïd is approached by middle-aged Jamal (Amer Hlehel), a point man for an unnamed Palestinian organization, who informs Saïd that he and Khaled have been chosen to carry out a strike in Tel Aviv. They have been chosen for this mission as a team, because each had expressed a wish that if either is to die a martyr, the other would want to die alongside his best friend.

"PARADISE NOW" follows two Palestinian childhood friends who have been recruited for a strike on Tel Aviv and focuses on their last days together. When they are intercepted at the Israeli border and separated from their handlers, a young woman who discovers their plan causes them to reconsider their actions.

I really wondered how this controversial movie would handle such a political theme.
I was silently surprised to see how the director really showed whole lot of reality and stupidity. On both sides.
And meanwhile it still had some hilarious scenes.
The story line is rather thin, and it is certainly a slow film but yet I never felt it during the movie.

When I left for Israel and for the Palestinian territories, I remember asking Yasser several times 'How can someone decide to give up life?'
After 2 years living over there I can say I think I understand how someone can come to such an act. For someone not having lived there, this movie truly gives a worthwhile insight.

Quote I remember best?: 'They manage to be the occupier and the victim in the same moment, ..., I cannot do but die and kill.'
Things that struck me: it is filmed in real places, and gives a really accurate view on how life is over there.
Feelings I remember myself: when crossing a checkpoint, you feel the humiliation and the hate growing inside yourself. The film reflects it well.

I had to smile when seeing Palestine on my screen, recalling reality in my head.
And how I long to go back.
To both sides...

Really worth seeing!
-When you rent the dvd do check the extra's like the making of. You'll see some difficulties they had making it.-

Drink a Cointreaupolitan...

Here's the manual for a Cointreaupolitan
And below is our version of, titled 'Reality check' ;)

Looks a bit different but the taste stays the same of course, and it has to be said: I was nicely surprised by the cocktail, so were the friends around.
It is certainly a cocktail that will appeal more to women than to men, mainly because of the pink, but also because of its sweet taste, I guess.
A should try.
What it tastes like? Mmmm reminds me of the Bacardi Breezers.
Thus indeed a perfect appetizer.
So spice up that old cointreau that's getting dust in your father's bar.
Hat tips: a bit more cointreau than ice, and it already tastes a bit spicier.
But start in time, as it does take some preparation and very seldom you have that handsome bartender hanging around...

Disclaimer: The nice folks at Duval Guillaume sent me the Cointrauversial set to test.

Diesels new fragrances: win one here!

Few weeks ago the guys at Diesel mailed me to ask if they could send me a new perfume.

I told them I wanted the liberty 'not to review it' because I really wasn't willing to write on something that might stink.

Today I received two bottles, a men's and female's version of their new soon to be released fragrance of 'Fuel for life'.
I guess they think I am man ;) (just jokin' of course I know they send 2 fragrances to test!)
Anyhow, nor me or my girlfriend are willing to walk around with a men's perfume.
So we decided to call in our neighbour as test-animal.
The women in the house smelled at the test-object and unanimously decided that he smelled very hot after a while.
The man himself decided after half an hour that he wouldn't mind a colleague wearing it.
And another half an hour he mentioned he might jump on that colleague...
(Note: our neighbor is gay, so don't think the fragrance will make you jump sides!)
For those interested in the way it smells: according to my roommate the man's perfume reminds her of Ralph Loren Sport.
I have to admit: I am not such an expert in men's perfumes...

We also tried the woman's fragrance.
Also here the perfume got better after a while.
I am a really difficult person (my mother and girlfriend will agree on that one) and my first criteria in choosing a fragrance is the 'head-ache test'.
There are way to many perfumes that make you head ache. I happen to be extremely sensitive to it, and I was happy to find out Diesels Fuel for Life passed that test (It saved me from an evening of pain ;) )
The perfume isn't what I would wear, it is too 'sweet' for me (and actually I happen to have one that makes my girlfriend hot, so I am not switching in the first months ;) ) But we again agreed that it smells 'sexy'.

You want to know more on the Fuel for Life perfumes? Well, they only get launched in 2 days.. Find out more here and watch the beautiful weird ads.

I am giving away the female fragrance on this blog (We can all agree that our test-animals boyfriend gets the male version to seduce his friend)
(What to do, you wonder? Write me something on 'Fuel for life', a poem, a short story, whatever. The best one wins.)

Disclaimer: the bottles were send to me by Diesel to test, and to review.

Off the Grid

A two-year project, " Off the Grid: Life on the Mesa" is a 64-minute documentary that looks at a small, hardscrabble community in the New Mexico desert of denizens who have chosen a life of independence outside the normal conformities and boundaries of modern society.

It's a study of the runaways, vets and voluntary outcasts who live there and what happens when a community removes itself from mainstream civilization. Rather than becoming uncivilized, instead it enforces its own sense of law and order, right and wrong. When confronted with a thief in their midst, the well-armed and opinionated citizenry must grapple with instilling ad-hoc law and order in which justice is served while humanity is preserved.

"Off the Grid" premiered at the Slamdance FIlm Festival in January and has been touring the festival circuit since. Shooting began in 2005 and is principally the creation of filmmakers Eric Juhola and Randy and Jeremy Stulberg. A DVD should be available soon. In the meantime, watch the 2:24 trailer or catch the NY premiere at Lincoln Center this Thursday, 15 August 2006, or next week as part of Slamdance's run of docs at the IFC on 21 August 2007.

Gotta see the trailer! Really harsh...

Easymap

Maps made out of paper are easily damaged by excessive folding, which decreases legibility. Also, they are often very complicated to fold. Easymap helps solve these problems, because it's a city or road map printed on cloth. The textile material simplifies the handling while reading and folding, as well as extends the life span of the product.

Why didn't anyone think of this earlier??

Coloring for adults.

In the series: first look before you buy: this coloring book ain't the one you'd expect.

The „Colouring Book – modern ordnance“ by the artist Katharina Arndt presents 124 drawings of the very latest, modern, military equipment regarding such different areas as hand guns, helicopters, bombers, ships, aircraft carriers, submarines, knifes, grenades, mines, bombs, torpedos, missiles, cruise missiles, howitzers, satellites, combat robots, drones, off-road vehicles, HGVs and tanks. Ordnance that all nations need to wage their wars.
The pictures of the ordnance are displayed without names or captions - only the drawings to be coloured are given.

The fact that this military reality is taken for granted in each country is reflected in the choice of a children´s colouring book.

  Apparently a lot of websites use the video guy these days.

  Coke Zero (aw, I really don't like the site..), Digibarometer,

  I still like the first implementation I saw with it best: Ms Dewey of Microsoft.
  And each time I get there, I enjoy her, for the easter eggs that is.
  Try 'naked' and 'ho' (only works the first time apparently)
  Hilarious! (Just makes my day)

  Fictious Sex Rooms

  

  A scent of burnt sugar lingers in the air in order to trigger powerful smell memories later, and a single mosquito keeps the experience from seeming too perfect. "Sex is dirt beneath and clouds above; it's shivering and shared heat; it's vulnerability and safety," Imboden says. "To cap its joy or assuage its fear is to deny its beauty."

  For an issue devoted to life's milestones, I.D. asked six eros-minded designers to create the perfect space for sexual initiation.
  See the slideshow.

  Be Manos

  Be manos is a new designer hotel in Brussels. 60 cosy rooms near the NMBS South.
  There was opted for simplicity: all the rooms are in black and white. Lounge, restaurant and some other places were designed by contemporary Belgian designers (such as Michael Bihain). The rooms were done by the owners (family Poulgouras) themselves.
  Little details like the 65 portraits hanging in the rooms and the other spaces, make the hotel really personal.
  Really classy, and a true inspiration.

  Art photography

  
  
  Becoming a photographer is one thing, becoming an artist photographer featured in a gallery is a second..

  Shortly said: it ain't difficult at all, since often, art has also something to do with who knows who...
  There are several ways (hanging around a gallerist, appearing on gallery parties, graduate and get selected by the local museum,...)
  The contest Hey, Hot shot is a nice way to invite photographers from all around to present their work, and the winners get a gallery. But meanwhile, very often high quality work is shown to possible interested people. Double win that is.

  The 60$ fee is high enough to pass bad pictures and low enough to enable young artists to participate and on top of that their featured in a magazine (so it is worth the 60$ anyway)

  Pic by Dan Boardman

  As for the question: 'Work from outside US is accepted?' yes it is. So participate!

  Mongol Rally

  

  The world is just a little bit too safe. Gone are the days where the edge of the map called you forth to discover what lay beyond - satellite maps and GPS have it laid out before you leave the armchair. What if you want things to go wrong? What if you want a bit of unknown in a world full health and safety measures? What if the words "adventure travel" conjure images of old ladies on a guided tour to Everest base camp with all the danger and real adventure neatly removed? What you need is the Mongol Rally.

  Imagine yourself in the middle of the gargantuan Kazakh desert, your car slowly being shredded by the dirt track your map says is a motorway, completely lost hundreds of miles from civilisation with no back up crew to rescue you. Just you, your wits, your increasingly brown pants, a car that the laws of physics say shouldn't have got you past Peckham Rye and a slightly angry looking man with a gun.

  If this all conspires to make you think, "my goodness that's a terribly silly idea" the Mongol Rally is probably not your cup of salted Mongolian tea. If, on the other hand, you think "hang on by gad, that's exactly what I need you've found your calling, so read on to find out what you'll be doing next summer.

  From this premise evolved the great Mongol Rally, a charity event open to all who fancy the taste of some real adventure.
  
  Ha! One day I am participating this one!
  You don't need the expensive entree fees (1400 pound that is) of Paris Dakar, or Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles (13,900 euros fee that is), nor the expensive cars. And all the more adventure I think...

  Love of my life, you're in too, right?

  Aid

  I don't believe in donations.
  I believe in structured aid, in self conscience, in entrepreneurship.That's why in the past, I mainly gave structured aid to causes I know about (I still sponsor Karama)

  I believe in microprojects, and microfinance

  Today I read about Villagebanking, a bank that wants to give loans to the poorest so they can start a business.
  Their 'about': FINCA provides financial services to the world's lowest-income entrepreneurs so they can create jobs, build assets and improve their standard of living. We target those who have the least access to services such as loans, savings programs, and insurance. Our clients include women, who make up 70 percent of the world's poor; individuals unable to find work in the formal sector; families displaced by war and internal conflict; the rural poor; and those affected by chronic poverty. With more than 20 years' experience and 500,000 clients on four continents, FINCA offers a proven solution to poverty.
  

  See the result with a 50$ investment/gift.

  

  50$, that's really nothing, when you know people are starting a business with it. 15 people that is.
  Check it out.

  No more cables, no more holes

  At lot of holes in your wall: that's something you don't want. Instead of mounting your sweet new flat screen plasma TV directly on your wall-discoloring your paint and drilling holes in the drywall to keep the screen up and to hide all the wires- you'd rather have an attractive TV panel, like this one from MDF Italia. MDF's panel provides a shield for your wiring and enough slots and spaces for all of your TV paraphernalia.
  

  
  MDF's website contains this gem: Simplicity is a philosophy which can be applied to almost anything in life. Ten fake dollars to anyone who can tell me three things in life that can in no way be simplified.

  More in: 'Duh! they're posting this now, when back in Belgium...'

  
  
  

  Merging green living, camping, and comfortable suburban residence, Frohn &Rojas' Wall House in Santiago de Chile is a feat of both aesthetics and engineering. The small-scale home rejects traditional building approaches, providing an interesting take on the wall as a more qualitative and complex element, addressing our relationship with the outdoors, and inspiring social interactions within the home. Not to mention its super-cool and very high-tech'energy screen' typically used in greenhouse construction, which yields diffused lighting and a regulated interior climate zone.

  Architecture in Chili

  Of course I am reading this when back. (well, no wonder regarding the super slow internet over there..)

  
  We could have been house peeping.
  I think we actually saw a project of these architects in Santiago.
  (C should confirm this.. it was a theater thing)

  Which brings me to the idea: city tours featuring modern architecture, anyone thought of that before, right? Links are welcome!

  Buy an island

  Sick and tired of your own country?
  Why not buy your own island?

  

  Isola Santo Stefano is located off the coast of Italy, Latium Region (Latina County) approx. 93 miles west of Naples, in the Gulf of Gaeta, Pontine Archipelo Islands (see map). The coast of Gaeta's Gulf, the 'Ulysses' Coast', has fine sandy beaches, with the Aurunci Mountains overlooking the sea at a height of 1,500 meters. This makes Ulysses' Coast unique in the world.

  The beauty of this place and mild climate all year round have favoured the human attendance ever since prehistoric times. There are settlements in Formia, later Roman colony, in Pirae, with the Monte di Scauri rising behind, of ancient Minturnae, but more importantly are the remains of the great Roman villas.

  The Pontine Archipelo consists of 2 groups of islands which are approx. 22 sea miles apart. The northwest group belongs to the Island of Ponza (its own district) and the Island of Palmarola, Gavi and Zannone. The southeast group consists of Ventotene and the Island of Stefan (Isola Santo Stefano).

  Santo Stefano is just half a sea mile from Ventotene. The horse-shoe shape building was designed by architect Carpi was built 1794 - 95. It served as a prison for many years but is not included in the sale of this property. There is also a church and various houses (16) on the island as well as two landings. The island and buildings have good tourist potential, eventually the buildings could be developed into a hotel.

  Italy is the country with the highest concentration of art, history, culture, nature, good food and wine in the world!

  Note: Take notice of the prison. ;)
  Note 2: Be aware our sea level will be rising, so you might end up with an Atlantis...

  More islands for sale.

  New meme: my city your city.

  When going through town last night, in search for a quick grab of food, I noticed the thing was closed. So I kept on walking for other spots.
  And whilst doing this, I enjoyed the city I live in.
  And I know we have bunch of people over here who do the same.

  So why not share our city, in a blogpost? (As it is July 21, national day, it is never bad to be a little chauvinistic)

  1. My favorite 'grab-a-bite': De Pallieter with the greatest shoarma's. Expensive, yet unbeatable. (At Sint Jacobs)
  2. My favorite shop in town: mmm, hard one, as I definitely have a closet full of H&M, Zara, and WE, so no special clothing stores, in mind.
  But that would make it 'De Poort' (Kortrijksepoortstraat), a comics store with the best music ever, so good you keep for hours in the store, looking for the latest, and not so latest, comics.
  3. My favorite restaurant: another hard one. mmm, really hard one, I am staring for a minute now. I really ate well in 'Faim de Toi' in Belfortstraat.
  4. My favorite 'take my friends when in town': Graslei ( classical one, but still does the trick)
  5. Other 5 things to mention: Designmuseum, library, Juices + helathy burgers at juicebar near Cream (Hoogpoort), Hinkelspel for good cheese, and 'Monsters with attitude', a babyshop, as ALL my friends seem to get babies these days (so yours probably too ;) )

  So tell me something about your city. (And pass on the meme if you feel like it).
  My 5 persons:
  -Peter F, for Brussels
  -Clo, for Mechelen (or Antwerp if she prefers)
  -Kerygma, for Ghent (ahja)
  -Pietel, for Antwerp (or Leuven)
  -John, for Ghent (with his NotSoSo, he's probably having a bunch of tips ;) )
  And hmm, I am pretty interested in C's views too ;)

  Extra: If posible: tag your post mycityyourcity +the name of your city (see below) for technorati so everyone can track it.

  Downtown

  

  In my search for a cool bicycle, I came across this one.
  Though I am not so much in favor of the small bikes, this one seems rather unusual and nice.
  I definitely like the fact that the steering wheel is your lock.
  And the bag for groceries, which seems extremely useful.

  On top of it: the design isn't bad, isn't it? :)

  Bridge

  Bridge was London artist Michael Cross' installation for the 2006 London Design Festival, allowing any member of the flock to walk on water inside a former church. Cross achieved the effect by half-filling the century-old church with water and installing steps that seemed to magically appear as visitors walked across the water. Purely mechanical, the weight of a person activates each step, which rises just above the surface of the water as they walk forward. There are some 30 steps in all, ending in the middle of the church's isolation that may be peaceful for some and terrifying for others.

  Moo MiniStickers

  MOO launches their new MiniStickers concept today and it's another awesome customizable stationary accessory. Like their other items, you can upload pictures from a Flickr, Bebo or Habbo account (or directly through their site) but this time they end up as high-quality, beautifully printed, scratch-proof stickers. The stickers are sized as 22mm squares but they pack a punch with 90 different stickers, on fifteen individual, tear-out sheets in a brightly packaged stickerbook in a color of your choice. At only $10 these will come in handy when you want to "stick" it to the man.

  COOL!

  Watching the stars

  

  I already posted this picture before.
  It wasn't stolen from the web, I took it myself in San Pedro de Atacama in Chile.
  When C and I heard about Alain, the Astronomer, we looked at each other and decided 'Yep, definitely'
  It wasn't cheap at 25 euro each, but we got a 2.5 hour intro to the sky, and it was amazing.
  I don't know why, but I first expected to be inside. I soon realized when driving to Alain's house in the desert, and observing the sky that we would stand outside, and that I f* could see the Milky Way without a telescope.
  It was freaking cold, but wonderful. Just staring in the sky and wonder about these millions of stars, and millions of years.
  And then Alain started to talk, and to point to the stars, show us Saturn, and see the rising of the moon.

  A must do when you are around...

  PictoBrowser Plug-in for Flickr

  
  People already noticed, since the beginning of my re-styled sites, I have been using the fabulous PictoBrowser.

  Not so known back then, yet today being hyped...
  I actually based a part of my design on its features. It is neat, fast, and beautifully styled, thus integration is seamlessly perfect.

  PictoBrowser is an indispensable freeware web application written by New York interactive designers Diego Bauducco and Carlos Gomez. It allows users to browse and display images from Flickr on any web page in a stylish, crisp flash-based interface. The plug-in enhances the functionality of Web 2.0 media sites like Flickr by providing a simple means to display photo sets on their own blog or homepage. To get started just click on the "Info" button on the bottom right corner of any Pictobrowser.

  So yes indeed you can run it yourself. Push the info button, fill in your Flickr name, and receive some code.

  The good news? It's free!
  The better news? The future will bring new updates of PictoBrowser and a super cool new web application that relates to PictoBrowser (on which they don't reveal a thing yet...).

  THis year, Gentse Feesten seems a bit 'out of place' to me. Maybe it is the jetlag...
  But for those running around and not knowing the program:
  Mobile.gentsefeesten.be will do the trick: allows you to check the program on your mobile.
  Enjoy.

  Work work work

  I have an overdose of work at the moment.
  (Probably very good to take my mind of other things... ;) )

  Anyhoooo... The main reason why I am a bit low on posting is because it is the end of the academic year, and like last year, we are trying to make something nice out of it for our graduating students.

  Last year this time I was working day and night to make sure the www.kask.be site could be launched in time.
  This year, I am working day and night to build and fill the system, to make every graduation student his 'fiche' with graduation project and contact information and so fort.
  (I am pretty proud to present it, as no other (art)school in Belgium did this before in this manner: from this year onwards each year, all graduation projects will be available online in a cms system. That way we want to build a library online of our graduating students.)

  We launched www.movement.be recently, and Thursday we'll officially launch the new www.kaskweek.be site. (if we get there in time that is..)

  Opening of the KASK week is on June 21, at 7PM. You are welcome to join in!

  Some screens:

  

  
  

  Remark: the design and css of this site is done by Pixelman.be, I am responsible for coordination and getting the content into the site.

  Police On Web

  Barely a day after introducing Police on Web, my bicycle got stolen in our underground garage. We called 101, but they called back asking us to make the declaration online. Which I did today (I had to find my token, since I have no e-ID yet)

  Police On Web is easy.
  You log in, fill in the fields confirm and that's it.
  I have to say the forms are very clear and easy, and it certainly is a lot easier than going to the police office, wait and see someone fill in a document in an old typewrites (as a matter of speaking ;) )

  Now, I'll have to wait for the second part: will or won't they find the bicycle back...

  Ecuador Ecological Disaster

  While Ecuador seemingly promotes eco travel and seems a place where people want to take care of the environment, Ecuador does have its own natural disasters...

  Ecuador is the site of a troubling ecological disaster that threatens the rainforest and indigenous groups. Billions of gallons of toxic waste water have been dumped into Ecuador’s rainforest – potentially one of the worst oil-related disasters on the planet.

  Once a pristine rainforest, the area is now filled with more than 700 open-air toxic waste pits and hundreds of swamps and streams filled with oil muck.

  Approx 18.5 billion gallons of highly carcinogenic toxic waste dumped into unlined pits dug out of the earth and into swamps, streams and rivers.

  The amount dumped is far greater than that spilled during the Exxon Valdez incident. Experts consider the impact to be the worst ecological catastrophe on the planet other than Chernobyl.

  Adventure Ecology is site showing all kinds of ecological disasters through arts and internet. They want to raise awareness on these matters.They also offer an artist in residence program, allowing artists to stay in certain places while working on art on eco awareness.

  I am not sure if I posted it before, but I was truly impressed when seeing this interior design. It fits well.
  Now we wonder if there will be more visitors each Sunday ;)
  
  

  Czech designer Maxim Velcovsky has redesigned the interior of a church in Eastern Bohemia, using customised design classics, rugs and chandeliers.

  Handcrafted stuff

  

  5000$ is a bit much for a computer... But this Lenovo Thinkpad looks nice.
  (I do wonder about how user friendly it is though. It doesn't seem to be an easy to use this keyboard.)
  The attractive part of this computer lies in its design, but also in the impression they give you you'll have 'one unique piece', handcrafted, with leather gone through a men's hands.
  This 'uniqueness' also can be found in the fact you'll need a password to enter the site. You are selected or you are not...

  As I am browsing several sites a day, I am stunned by the amount of 'hand crafted luxury' that is being offered today. It certainly looks like the anti-movement, against industrialization. Puma, Nike, and many more, turning a mass product into a luxurious product, and giving you the impression an Italian leather craftsmen is making your piece.
  While that's just the advertisement of course :)

  I guess we have come to the moment where we want to be different from the mass again, and as we are high profiled consumers, we have the budget to spend.

  Buy me that magic eraser :)

  Reminder to myself: after reading a bunch of blog posts on the matter i NEED these magic erasers as they seem the perfect solution to get rid of the paint on the wall (yeah, I managed to paint a part of the wall instead of the tv table...)
  Read on a blog: "Just be careful not to put too much pressure when you're rubbing or you'll rub the paint off the wall. Overall it has worked great for me though."
  Well hey I'll put loads of pressure to get rid of those stains... Hope it doesn't remove my wall ;)

  But why am I posting this story online? Because it is the proof of good products. This product 'works' so everyone talks about it and reviews it positively online.
  There is the story of the locks that has almost killed a company due to blogposts. The magic eraser might become a story where bloggers made a company rich...

  Emma online

  Yesterday I was part of a jury at KHM Mechelen (and I am not gonna tell any outcomes as I know some of the students are reading this blog ;) )

  One of the projects of the students was the Emma ARP game (am I saying it right) and we got a look into the scenes of the game.
  I admit, I haven't followed the game that much, since, well, I think the whole Emma series sucks, and en plus, I don't have a TV.
  I do remember some blogs posting about it, especially about being invited for the press conference which was held a little unluckily in the middle of the day.(Now I also remember that the bloggers complained about that, but heck they didn't complain about Microsoft doing the same, with the new Vista included. *It is so damn easy to break down everything...*)

  I was nicely surprised
  1) to see the stats of the sites. There are a lot of people participating (4626) ! And it is mainly their target audience. So hip hip huraah for the designers and developers.
  2) to be introduced to the games as they are not a real ARP, but an easier variant. I like them. It is not die hard, but still something anybody might want to play. (if they have plenty of time that is)
  3) to see the web of games that were developed, to see the different sites on paper, and get a grasp on how such a thing grows.
  4) to see a sneak preview of the final game, and I think it will rock. So I advise you all (especially the bloggers with plenty of critics on the matter ;) ) to peep into the thing again.

  Fonero.be: my 2cents

  Fonero got launched in Belgium.
  (I am a Fonero* myself since launch. I have to admit, the Fon is not running now, since it has a conflict with Mac. Have to fix it soon.)

  Some 2cents to the Fonero.be proposal.
  I think the advertisement is a bit misleading...
  Ok, you get a free wifi modem, but you'll need to buy the adsl modem anyway. On top of that, since you need to connect to the phone, you still need a landline.
  The proposed offer of adsl for 30 29,95 euro/month results in: 29.95 euro/month + 6,85 euro/month + one time installation of the landline (which is now for free.) + adsl modem (approx 60 euro) + 25 euro activation for FON

  Yet, the return is still nice compared to other services:
  30 GB per month, nice for active bandwidth users (you won't get it elsewhere cheaper...)
  6mbs speed is nice (if and only if that's true... I still have to actually see Telenet or Belgacom giving us real speed)

  But the nicest part of the offer: free wifi access all over as a Fonero.

  A nice side add-on is the POI map: a downloadable map for Fon accesspoints, allowing find Fon points by using your GPS.
  Another nice extra is Fon for Symbian, allowing you to use the free hotspots for your mobile as well.

  Why is Fonero.be really misleading in my eyes: because you don't need rent that ADSL line to be a fonero.
  Surf to Fon.com, buy yourself the 40 euro Fon modem, and get free access to the same hotspots all over.
  Or better, do the Fonero gets Fonero thing: invite a friend to get a Fon at 20 euro instead of 40.

  Guess what: I still have 3 invitations left.
  You want a wireless Fon router for a mere 20 euro? You better ask it sweet.
  And tell me why I should prefer you above another... (And don't think I'll buy a 2 sentences motivation)

  *Check the main idea of Fon: you give free wifi access to others to get free access from others.)

  Behive.be is born

  

  When re-thinking my interests, I figured out that one of the main things I always have been busy with is promoting Belgian stuff.

  I once was responsible for the photo exhibits at Minard (at times of Photoblog), and in a coop with a Flemish photomagazine, the main purpose was to launch Belgian photographers.
  On this blog, I focus on design, and admitted, I am pretty curious to see what we do over here.
  I work at an art school, and it is fun to see the stuff that gets born there.
  And while showing Belgium to my foreign friends, I discovered it's natural beauty.

  When abroad, I noticed how we Belgians are too damn shy to promote ourselves. Heck, when you dare to say over here you're good at something, people look at you as if you did something not done. As a Belgian, it seems a rule to rate yourself down.
  Since I don't agree on that, and since, when having been abroad for such a long time, I noticed the good stuff about 'home' I decided to launch a site that gathers these good things.

  So Behive.be was born.
  It covers design (since well that's my 'dada' and I really like the idea of learning more about our talented designers), art (how we have amazing artists.), food (ehrm I think you all agree our food can certainly be compared to our neigbouring countries..), travel, leisure and lifestyle.
  Leisure is in native language due to the subjects, the rest in English, since well, it IS aimed at promoting ourselves.

  I am still looking for writers. Not real dedicated writers. I don't believe in exclusivity (in certain parts of life that is ;) ) Though I don't mind if you like the subject so much you rather dedicate yourself to it :).

  I am looking for bloggers who have existing posts on Belgium that might fit the subject. Posts that fit into Behive and can be cross posted.
  Posts that allow you to cross-link to your own site and get it known a bit.

  Behive wants to be a hub. Gathering info and stuff. (It could have been a wiki, but I don't like the way you have to search it, it could have been a technoratisearch, but I don't believe in that either.)

  If you like the idea, don't hesitate to mail me.
