About Me

Want to go to: The Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids. When I first heard about their discovery on the news, I went to go and check the date. Really, this must have been an April Fool's joke? If a massive heap of pretty old stones rivalling the size of the Great Pyramid had been lying there for ages, someone would have noticed, tripped over it or discovered it when searching for there sheep way earlier, no? Apparently not, until recently. Hence, pretty curious! :)
Has been to the Giza Pyramids in Egypt and met the sphinx: 'Hi, you're not as big as I imagined, but pretty anyway!' Was it an impressive experience? Surely. Yet, I would love to return now, with the knowlege I've gained about ancient Egypt in the past 10 years. (And hope to find that lovely restaurant with the lovebirds & cows powering the irrigation system in Alexandria again.)
Love to read*. (* Graphic novels / Comic books, that is. Some of my favourites that fit Heritage Key's scope: Murena by Philippe Delaby - Papyrus by Lucien de Gieter - Alex by Jacques Martin - Vae Victis! by Jean-Yves Mitton - Atilla.. Mijn geliefde by Jean-Yves Mitton - Quetzalcoatl by Jean-Yves Mitton - Hors catégorie: Hugo Pratt ) (In case no graphic novels are present, a newspaper will do!)
Love to take photographs (and am in love with the Flickr.com website) but I would like to get better at that still. Hopes 'practise makes perfect' applies in this case. Gear is an old Canon Rebel with a few lenses and a Speedlite I can't handle.
Love 'accents'. Would love to get better at a specific one. At the moment we can do: Flemish with a Antwerp accent, Dutch with a Flemish accent, English with a Dutch accent and French with a Flemish accent.
Love Virtual Worlds - I fell in love with the possibilities of Second Life, but our relationship was pretty one-sided. Now OpenSim seems like a better partner. ;) IMVU was a huge disappointment, as their copyright policy - and the lack of enforcement of that - left me with a serious hangover after only one weekend of dating. *sighs*
Am fascinated by everything that would be categorised as 'web 2.0'. The social networking sites, Flickr, YouTube, Facebook, wikipedia, the OpenSource knowledge... . I do believe that 'the internets' were a good thing to mankind, and we can put them to constructive use: share knowledge, experiences, express ourselves and create possibilities.
