After spending almost three beautiful years four days a week at multimediacollege and 1 day a week at my own little company i decided to make the big switch. From tomorrow on i will be spending my days searching my own clients, doing my own projects and most of all living at my own pace.

Its not a goodbye to multimediacollege, i think we can see it more like another way of working together. In the near future you will still find my in front of the mmc classroom, talking about flash, air and maybe some flex (the more creative side).

What is going on at Dreams & Creations at the moment? Together with syntetik we’re finishing up the Cercled’O site and starting up some other very cool projects. For an Antwerp based agency we’re building two corporate websites. And in the first week of May we will launch together with Resilion an amazing playground for children between 8 and 12 years old. In the spare moments i try working on some experiments and writing my first conference presentation.

And than the question i hear the most: “When will there be a portfolio site?” The answer: “We’re working on it, it will be online somewhere this year ;-). One spoiler maybe? Think Rubik!”.

This years theme of the motor show was "ecologic environment". After a year of continuously preaching about global warming, a bad summer, a warm winter and SMOG alert., you would probably thing that everybody is getting "the message" by now.

The first thing you notice when you walk into the fair are the big suv’s. Cars consuming around 10 to 15l/100km. And it looks like everybody is praising those cars leaving the "normal" cars in the dark. Even worse was that a certain brand was talking about his ecologic suv. I think that’s getting time that the government really start punishing those drivers. Car tax accordingly the CO exhaust maybe.

No it’s not all bad news, i was very impressed by bmw and mini, what they trying to do with their ecologic cars is really impressive.

A lot of things happening! I made a biggest step of my life this week, later more.

Also a lot of development going on:
-Air application for a kiosk, using Flash Media Server and local sqlite database.
-At mmc we found some time to experiment with flash lite 2.0.
-I finally finished 2 long running projects.

Today i watched the students of the PIH presenting their Small Business Projects. There were a few with great ideas, it would be a pitty if they don’t bring their projects to the market.

Tommorow i’m going to the European Motor Show in Brussels, looking at dream cars. I was always saying: "the day i turn 30, i’m going to buy my first porsche". Next month i’m becoming 25, just 5 years left to find the gap in the market. Mmm beter try some hard working

Something that is one of my “strange” habits is that i can fall very easily in love with legendary objects or brands that proved their existence (ex. Apple, SMEG, kitchenaid, bellerose).

For a while i was searching for a replacement for my old but legendary Macromedia notebook. Surfing around the web yesterday evening i came across moleskinerie.com, a site celebrating the live of a notebook? There is even a moleskin group on facebook!

Today i hurried to the local “club” to get my first Moleskine. And just one thing: i love it. Black cover, elastic band and white quality pages.

I spent my whole childhood between those little blocks.
