Through different glass
Recently I took my first steps into the wonderful world of internet video publishing. As promised and requested, this post describes some of the finer details behind it.
Life update
A lot of changes since the last update. This either means a lot is happening, or I don't post updates often enough. Since I hear no one complaining about the lack of updates, I'll assume it's the former.
Light, flash and clay
Last weeks assignment took me to a few local artists. The pictures never turned into a reportage, but I wanted to shine some light on this particular image.
My top 9 social web applications
Seeing my last few posts in this section have been a bit negative, I thought it was time to do a more constructive article. Thus I present you my social web-applications top 10 9, consisting of the services I use (sorry, couldn't think of a number 10) and my thoughts on them.
Clogged tubes
Happyclog started back in 2004 as a loose group of standards-aware webdesigners. The initiative to meet up once a while and talk about standards, state of the web, the universe and everything, remained nameless until august 2005, when the group name was first coined.
Life update, Scotland notice
It's been very quiet around here the last couple of weeks, so I thought I'd give you a bit of an update.
Lighting glass
A company gift turned interesting photography project. As a thank you for my services, the people at Directie Mobiele Diensten gave me this laser-engraved C2000 basestation.
POS Acronyms
A small rant on the rebranding of well known industry terminology to Pointless Or Silly Acronyms.
Doornroosje
My volunteer work for Lokale Omroep Rijnwoude took me to Schiphol Airport yesterday, to take pictures of a 63 year old Douglas DC-3.
Going wide
Recently I acquired an addition to my Nikon arsenal: the Tokina 12-24mm wide-angle zoom lens.
RijnGouwelijn: yay or nay?
The Province of South Holland has been talking about a light rail public transport connection between Gouda and Leiden, possibly stretching all the way to the North-Sea coast.
Working for the MAN
After I quit my job last december, I've had a nice long vacation, before being picked up for another job.
On small islands
Tonight I leave the Low Country on a plane for a short holiday on Lanzarote, a (hopefully) sunny island part of the Canary Islands.
D200 and Nikon CLS
One of the fun things on the Nikon D200 is the build-in flash; it can be used to command groups of external Speedlight flash units.
Flickr is dead
As of today I'm no longer actively using my Flickr account to post pictures, and moving all activities back to this website.
