I always seem to look goofy or very angry on photos. Talking to some friends at a party, I came up with a good idea for a little contest: make me look good on a photo…
These are the rules:
(1) Your photo has to be recent. i.e. has to be made after october 2008;
(2) My face has to be recognizable;
(3) You may not alter the photo using Photoshop or the likes;
(4) The contest ends on october 1st, 2009.
Send your photos to me by mail. I will be the sole judge in this little contest. Maybe I’ll ask my sisters for their opinion too. The winner will be treated to a bottle of champagne. If there is a photo I like of course.
Your photo should make me look better than in these 2…
2009 is just a couple of hours old and I’ve done my 1st good deed: I took a young girl home that was hitch hiking home after a new year’s eve party. I even did a little detour to make sure that she was getting where she needed to be. I wonder if I will be rewarded for my good deeds this year?
Studio Brussel kicked off the 3rd edition of Music for Life this morning : a 6 day charity event in support of Rode Kruis Vlaanderen. Major Termonte of the city of Gent, the city that hosts the event this year, had the privilidge to request the 1st song this morning. He asked for Springsteen’s version of an Edwin Starr classic… He requested this song…
The European Commission, the OECD and the Belgium government say that not enough people in Belgium are computer savvy and that not enough people in Belgium have access to the Internet. Point taken. I totally agree. And I support every sensible effort to get more people to use the Internet.
But when I hear decision makers suggest that people should seek free help from friends, family or neighbors to solve computer problems, I get a bit upset.
WTF?! If my car breaks down, I take it to a dealership to have fixed, and I pay the bill. If my dishwasher breaks down, I ask a mechanic to come and fix it, and I pay the bill. If my heating breaks down… Oooh… You get the picture.
Tell me why I should fix computer problems for free? Did I not study hard to become an ICT engineer? Do I not invest time and money to keep up to date?
If someone feels like giving me a gift for the holidays or maybe even a late birthday gift, Think Geek has the right t-shirt for me.
