Baby Elephant website

The Antwerp Zoo is expecting a baby-elephant. When the baby-elephant will be born is still a big question-mark, but when the moment is there we would like to share it with the world by streaming the birth live on our platform.

I created the html/css of this project with the team, I am proud to be a part of it! The website is build with html/ajax/flash and based on jquery library. Check www.baby-olifant.be.

The launch of the website platform was announced yesterday by a huge projection of Phyo Phyo’s echography on the Crowne Plaza in Brussels.

If you missed the projection you still get a chance to see it live:

· Tuesday 16 December - Antwerp SILO NOORDERLAAN
· Wednesday 17 December - Gent UCO TOREN GENT
· Thursday 18 December - Namen C&A NEARBY STATION
· Friday 19 December - Antwerpen SILO NOORDERLAAN
· Saturday 20 December - Namen C&A NEARBY STATION
· Sunday 21 December - Brussel CROWN PLAZA ROGIER

jQuery - Microsoft - Nokia

This is looking good!

Both Microsoft and Nokia are taking the major step of adopting jQuery as part of their official application development platform. Not only will they be using it for their corporate development but they will be providing it as a core piece of their platform for developers to build with.

- Scott Guthrie (builds a few products for Microsoft)
- Scott Hanselman’s (Programming Life and the Zen of Computers)

New theme

I have a new theme, I didn’t make it myself because I can’t find the time to make one. The only thing I tweaked myself is the rss icon, a free icon from Smashing Magazine.

It was necessary to update my theme because my own made was totally screwed after my last update from Wordpress. Anyhow, thx Horacio Bella for the nice theme!

Planckendael

Last weekend I went to Planckendael, one of the biggest zoos in Belgium. It’s about 10 minutes biking from my appartment. I think I will take a yearly subscription when I have children (long long from now). Anyhow, here are some cool pics taken with my - non DSLR - Sony Cybershot DSC-H9.

Polar Bears

This makes me think…
