Today at Multi Mania 2010 someone told me that I’m nominated in the Cutest Female Geek Contest. I don’t know if this is a good thing but I think I know witch of colleagues enlisted me and I will take it as a compliment. Of course I’m never going to win but please vote for me and have a look at the other participants: http://www.adhese.com/cfgc/

Another nice spoof! This time from Logitech about MTV-Cribs. For all my Dutch or French blog readers, check out how Alex Agnew shows of his Crib in this movie:

Also take a look at the website, you can operate the electronic devices in the room all with the remote controls even the fireplace! Tip: try ‘make atmosphere’ with the harmony 1100. There is also a great game, you can win all the electronic devices you saw in the movie, even signed by Alex himself!

Hello everyone,
Xantifee is back from a very wet but amazing trip to Scotland, I’ve explored the mighty highlands and many mysterious castles, counted the sheep on the Isle of Skye, relaxed in the lovely countryside and cheered at the highland games in Edinburgh. So now I just want to say ‘thanks’ to the many friendly Scottish people I’ve met, it was great!

After a way to early but very pleasant flight (out of bed at 4:am) I arrived at Lisbon airport. 2 Ours later I’m walking around at the OFFF Festival in Oeiras and I have to say that this year’s location is very big! There are 3 rooms for presentations and performances.
A massive Hanger for the main stage, a room for presentations of new talents in the digital scene and especially for the fans of experimental electronic sounds there is a room called “loopita”. There is also a big merchandising and book market, a computer room, an energy spot for recharging your phone or laptop and a really big showplace where the main exhibition of the festival is situated. Naturally there is also a bar and something that should be the restaurant where you can get horrible spongy sandwiches and baguettes.

Again! Xantifee & MARKEE are going to the great OFFF- festival (7-8-9 may) Lisabon here I come! Every year, the festival features digital artists, web and print designers, motion graphic studios and avant-garde electronic musicians. But OFFF is more than an event about any of these disciplines. More than a design conference, a multimedia trade fair, or a digital animation festival. OFFF is an enthusiastic celebration of a new visual culture.

This weekend (from 13 to 15 March 2009) me and my fellow college’s from Markee whent to Colophon 2009 in Luxembourg a biennial symposium for magazine makers, experts, advertisers, readers and all creatives involved in the world of the independent magazine.

A big thanks go’s out to the PostrMagazine Boys for sending out great party vibes! Here is there picture report and party report.

This weekend just like last year, I went to the neo-romantic ball/Fashion show Gala Nocturna in the beautiful gothic chapel of Althena in Kontich. The theme this year was ‘Russia’ so therefore Le Trio Perdu played us some exciting Balkan Music and during the shows we saw a fair amount of fur heads popping up. A cool extra this year was the Viona-Art Photo Exhbition and the Absinthe bar where they served the green delight the Bohemian way! Also the classical ballet act bij ‘Nini’ from the Royal Ballet Academy of Antwerp was a real delight to watch.

Back from OFFF! It was great! So great that I made a little site specially to recapitulate the whole experience and share it with my colleges and all who is interested. Just go and see for yourself.
Have fun!

Your website has GOT NEWWEBPICK QUALIFICATION because of the design and technology.

Today I got a very nice phone call. I was chosen to make the website of the social service of Sint-Lucas (graphical art and architecture). That’s the greatest vacation job I ever had!

Everybody out there! I’m looking for a job!

‘Master in Graphical arts’
Finally I’m graduated! Feels great, but it’s also a bit scary, What shall I do now?

It’s not unusual that children today play on the internet. That is why the safety aspect on the web is a very actual theme. With normal browsers parents can not prevent there kids from visiting unfit websites and seeing unfit images. Filters can help a lot but a suitable environment for all different age category’s is no luxury.

A perfect start of an interesting graduation project. Here you can see a demo.
