In my previous post, I presented the logo for QLT. Today, I can share what the building will most likely look like in a 3D video. We shared this video on YouTube and Facebook.
The YouTube video only had 5 views since it was published last night, but the video on Facebook already reached 1,531 people; 47 people engaged with the post, and the post generated 184 clicks.
Earlier this week, my son, my wife and I founded a new company named QLT.
We hired Yves Girod-Roux for the design of the logo. This is the result:
Er is geen teken van herkenning wanneer ik in de spiegel kijk. Ik zie een ongeschoren man, net uit bed, maar nog vermoeid. Ik poets mijn tanden.
Het is een lange, droge zomer geweest, maar de laatste weken van augustus hebben we flink wat regen gekregen. Ook vannacht heeft het geregend. Ik speur de tuin af naar de hond.

About a month ago, I submitted a talk for the 2019 edition of SXSW. You can now vote for my talk if you want to help convince the program committee to select me. Votes are open until August 30.

What do you do?
This happened to me at the Great Indian Developer Summit in April 2018, and this video shows how I handled the situation:
There’s a 1958 movie, Teacher’s Pet, in which Clark Gable plays a successful, but uneducated editor of a New York newspaper, and Doris Day plays a professor teaching a journalism class. The theme of this romantic movie evolves around which is more important, education or experience? Clark Gable concludes that experience is the jockey, education is the horse.
Earlier today, I wrote an article on Wil-Low.com about the problem of fake followers on Twitter: How real are your followers? I wrote this post after a newspaper reported about a Belgian political party that won more than 10K followers in India in a very short period of time. One of my readers jokingly asked me: And how many followers do you have in India?
We used to make fun of Klout. For instance: whenever it was your birthday, your Klout score spiked because of all the people sending you birthday wishes on social media. Nevertheless, many of us looked at the Klout score of our personal and business accounts on social media.
It's great to be mentioned as an influencer by Johan Vos on how to make a business with open source (go to 18 minutes 10 seconds to hear this particular snippet).
