Looking back on the previous year is easy for me.

Three times a year, I take all the pictures I've taken, and I bundle them in a book. Yesterday, I received part 3:

When I browse the pages of these books, I have a visual overview of the events I've been to and the places I've visited. The stack gets bigger every year.

Once again, I have several boxes of books waiting in the hallway of my house:

This is the fourth book by Eric Kenis about entrepreneurs in Belgium, the first one that is written in English.

Ik ontdekte onlangs de web site schrijvenonline.org waar elke week een schrijfopdracht gegeven wordt door divers schrijfcoaches.

Electric Girl, a movie my wife and I invested in as executive producers, was selected for the competition of the Max Ophüls Preis film festival in Saarbrücken (January 14 - 20).

Yesterday, we went to the closing night of FilmFest Ghent:

If we don't pick up our phone, if we do not answer mail, don't worry: we haven't disappeared from the surface of the earth, not literally in any case. We'll be in flight mode for the next two weeks, due to the International Film Festival in Ghent:
