Bald Condensed's blog
Unzipped post mentioned on news site of Belgian national television
A while ago I wrote a post on Unzipped analysing the design and typography of the Flemish poster campaign for the current European and regional elections, The typography of politics.
To my surprise I learned yesterday that this post has made its way -- via the Facebook profile of Geert Lambert, head of the SLP party -- to www.deredactie.be, the news site of the Belgian national television. Their translation is dodgy and they misunderstood some details, but it still nice to see a focus on typography in the mainstream press. :)
One small victory
After 12 years of thorough criminal investigations Scientology has been branded a sect and a criminal organisation by the Belgian judicial system. Religion my @$$.
The most insane website intro... EVER!
This is so awesome!
Cold feet. Like, really frickin' ice cold feet. It's October after all.
Although I do not consider myself an artist, I have the artistic reflex deeply engrained in the fibres of my being. Whenever I see an opportunity I am known to do crazy stuff for the good cause.
First the bad news -- there’s something wrong with FontPool. A leak at the bottom of the stairs caused the pool to drain, leaving only a shallow body of water at the bottom. We don't know if and when it can be repaired.
Troubleman needs your vote!
Hi everyone,
As many of you may know, I've been playing drums in British/Belgian pop/rock band Troubleman for over 10 years. If you want to know what we do, where we've been, and sample our music please visit our MySpace or Facebook page. In the increasingly difficult music business the quality of your music isn't sufficient enough for a breakthrough and a band needs all the help it can get.
Today is the first day of my second career
Yesterday I punched in the alarm code for the very last time when I left Magelaan, the communication agency I worked at for the past 13 years. I closed the door on a 17 year career of graphic design and communication and transitioned from a life as employee to a life as independent. It was bittersweet parting, because I left behind more than just colleagues but friends.

MacUser UK sez Typographer.org is one of top 50 Mac sites
UK magazine MacUser's cover story is Secret Mac sites -- 50 hottest web links that will keep you ahead of the crowd. This morning I received a message that Typographer.org is in the list. Apparently they moaned that Bald Condensed doesn't get updated as often (heck it's been over a year! :^( ). (I've been hunting high and low for a copy of the mag but can't find it anywhere in Gent. Could somebody please make a scan of the relevant page and send it to me -- I'd really like to see that. Thanks.)
I finally managed to obtain a copy of the mag, so it's not necessary anymore.
