The gallery was 21 december 2009. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see it in real life, because it was in India, and I live in the Netherlands (yes, almost other side of the world, 6.400km). It was great to work with those guys, they have showed some of my favorites and send me nice photo’s. Hope to have an gallery like this in Holland ever too (someone interested to do this?) :)

It's very handy, because I can read my RSS-feeds everywhere I am. A while ago, I tried to personalize the header of iGoogle. I found the option to create your own skin, simply by uploading an image. I didn't know the theme would be public, because I didn't read the conditions. So, if anyone is interested.. Here is the iGoogle-theme: see.the.sky @ iGoogle]]> I like iGoogle.

A lot of people ask me how to create this images. If you don’t want to learn to code, just freak out with photoshop. First, when you really want to this: learn a coding-language, like actionscript. Download a nice actionscript-editor, like FlashDevelop. This makes coding more easily & comfortable. You also could learn processing. I don’t know a lot about it, but I’ve seen wonderful things created with it.
