About Me

<ul>
<li><strong>Want to go to: The Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids.&nbsp;</strong>When I first heard about their discovery on the news, I&nbsp;went to go and check the date.&nbsp;Really, this must have been an April Fool's joke? If <a href="http://heritage-key.com/world/bosnian-valley-pyramids">a massive heap of pretty old stones rivalling the size of the Great Pyramid</a> had been lying there for ages, someone would have noticed, tripped over it or discovered it when searching for there sheep way earlier, no?&nbsp;Apparently not, until recently.&nbsp;Hence, pretty curious! :)</li>
<li><strong>Has been to the Giza Pyramids in Egypt </strong>and met the sphinx: 'Hi, you're not as big as I imagined, but pretty anyway!' Was it an impressive experience?&nbsp;Surely.&nbsp;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 &amp; cows powering the irrigation system in Alexandria again.)</li>
<li><strong>Love to read</strong>*. (* Graphic novels /&nbsp;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..&nbsp;Mijn geliefde by Jean-Yves Mitton - Quetzalcoatl by Jean-Yves Mitton - Hors cat&eacute;gorie: Hugo Pratt ) (In case no graphic novels are present, a newspaper will do!)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vintagedept/"><strong>Love to take photographs</strong></a><strong> </strong>(and am in love with the Flickr.com website) but I would like to get better at that still.&nbsp;Hopes 'practise makes perfect' applies in this case. Gear is an old Canon Rebel with a few lenses and a Speedlite I&nbsp;can't handle.&nbsp;</li>
<li><strong>Love 'accents'.</strong>&nbsp;Would love to get better at a specific one.&nbsp;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.</li>
<li><strong>Love Virtual Worlds</strong> - I fell in love with the possibilities of Second Life, but our relationship was pretty one-sided.&nbsp;Now OpenSim seems like a better partner.&nbsp;;) IMVU&nbsp;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.&nbsp;*sighs*</li>
<li><strong>Am fascinated by everything that would be categorised as 'web 2.0'.</strong>&nbsp;The social networking sites, Flickr, YouTube, Facebook, wikipedia, the OpenSource knowledge...&nbsp;.&nbsp;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.</li>

Ann 'Vint' Wuyts (on Google+) is looking after the Heritage Key community and avatar health & entertainment. She is slightly fascinated by everything to do with 3D technology and what's commonly defined as 'Web 2.0'. When she grows up, Ann - eventually - wants to be a mummy.
