I designed this button as an attention grabber for a news article on the library’s website.
I’ve made a custom search engine that searches 33 Dutch, Flemish and English languages sites (mainly .org) on the topic of corporate social responsibilty (CSR) or maatschappelijk verantwoord ondernemen (MVO) in Dutch.

Ariadne Magazine published a piece by Phil Bradley on Custom-built search engines, in the april 2008 issue which reviews the tools available and how to put them to use. Recommended reading!
I’d like to say a big thankyou to the SPOETNIK team for the tip about the podcasts on Guardian Unlimited Books. I found a podcast there featuring an interview with my favorite author, Peter Carey. In the interview Peter also reads two excerpts from his latest book, His Illegal Self. I wrote a short post on this book two weeks back. I’d read it in one sitting because I simply wasn’t able to put the book down.
I’ve added the Guardian Unlimited Books podcast feed to my Netvibes. It works perfectly. All I need to do is press the ‘play’ button. I also get the option in the feed to download the podcast to my computer.
A few weeks back I reported on a workshop ‘Ontwerp je eigen lettertype met ontwerpbureau LAVA’ held at the Museum voor Communicatie in the Hague. I’ve been waiting impatiently since then to see the font ontwerpbureau Lava has made using the letters created during the workshop. The font is ready and can be downloaded from this page. The first thing I noticed – my ‘s’ is upside down! I suppose this is what they mean by ‘creative license’.
