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?

My site has been finally been restored. There was a hardware failure on the server earlier this week, which affected my site. The database powering my blog and my gallery was corrupt. But the support team at Combell (my hosting provider) have done an excellent job at restoring my site.
I’m counting down to the release of Springsteen‘s new album. The album titled Working on a Dream will be released on January 27, 2009. All 12 songs on the album are produced by Springsteen and Brendan O’Brien, and recorded in collaboration with the legendary E-Street Band.
The new single from this forthcoming album is available for download through iTunes. It has a very catchy tune to it. It sounds a lot like a pop recording, while it clearly has a deeper meaning. And hence it builds on the same tradition as his previous albums The Rising and Magic. It has me all excited and looking forward to the release of the album and the upcoming tour.
It snowed today!!! For the first time this winter. It is so funny that we all make a big deal out of frozen water. But anyway… I made a big deal out of it, ran outside and built me a snowman. Well euh… I had a little help from a good friend. We had so much fun in the snow tonight…

2 months of planning and hard work paid off tonight as we closed the very 1st Apertura Expo. We had the pleasure of welcoming almost 300 visitors. Most of them praised our expo and the quality of the works.
And honestly: I am pretty pleased with the expo as well. 13 Apertura members displayed 75 high quality photos. And I am sure that my friends at Apertura all look forward to next year’s expo. Thanks guys! ‘Cause your photos made all my hard work worthwhile.

As a member of UPI (United Photographers International), I had been invited to enter 5 photos for the 8th Malmo Int’l Exhibition. And they selected 3 of my photos for that exhibition. My first ever international public appearance. And with 3 photos I really like and that mean a great deal to me. A big thank you to my models!
I got a few photos from the exhibition that show my work on display.
These are the actual photos that were on display.
