A while ago some of us attended Future of Web Apps in London. A great event with some very nice speakers and interesting topics. Have a look at the video’s at the Carsonified website. Enjoy!

One of the highlights of the event for sure was Diggnation and Google Beers. Real fun.

Boulevart @ sailing event

Getting up at 7 o’clock to walk for 12 miles on the beach was a god’s gift for a bunch of designers and developers (not!) J However this was the start of an active get together sailing event with the Boulevart team. The sailing boats were fun but flying over the sea at 60 miles an hour, with 250 horsepower powerboats, kicked ass.

Grenoble 2008

About a week ago a few of us, 5 to be exact, went to Grenoble for a bungee jump from the Ponsonnas bridge. It took us about 12 hours by bus to get there, together with some colleagues from our holding company Cronos. And…it took us 14 hours to get back home. All this for a jump that only lasts 5 seconds. Statistics: 4 of us jumped, 1 didn’t.

Was it fun? According to all 50 in the bus, “yes”.
