this week, we launched at Boondoggle a website for Mewaf called Unchained Working. I was responsible for the Art Direction and Design - it was great fun!.

Yesterday, I was invited to a Microsoft dinner with Surya Vanka, Microsoft's Design and Usability Training Manager and -as i was told- the brilliant mind behind the Windows Vista designs. It was a pleasant evening, i met lots of nice Belgians such as Pietel, Kris, Caroline, but mainly we all hang on Surya's lips. Very interesting facts and views he shared with us about the importance of design (more influence on revenue than technology or advertising), the dilemma of designers (as they just can't sell themselves) and the link of colors and their names (the word itself actually just defines a color). Thanks Geert for inviting me and thx Surya for the pleasant evening!

Cablechaos belongs to the past. And our kitchen is nearly finished, too. And no, it won't stay lightblue. The gas heating made working so much more pleasant - why didn't we buy that before?!
