Dalinian Traces in Cadaqués

Together with my best buddy, we went to the province of Girona, also in Catalonia, right after I arrived at Barcelona. As a surprise, he organized two days in this beautiful region near the French border.

Two days dedicated to Dalí and his art with a first stop in Cadaqués (and Portlligat), on a bay near the Cap de Creus peninsula, on the Costa Brava of the Mediterranean. It is only a two-and-a-half hour drive from Barcelona, and thus it is very accessible and not only attracts tourists but people who want a second home for weekends and summers.
Not that I think that I'm a great photographer, but I'd like to share a selection of pics I took in this fishers village. For sure, I can understand why the master was in love with its native region. Click to have a better view.

Tools to Revamp your Pics

A walk in Tervuren Park

Sometimes I'm frustrated by my lack of competences with tools like Photoshop. I'd love to be a creative or graphic skilled person. But I'm not. Definitely. I'm even struggling with Picasa (desktop) when adding effects to my pics. But picnik is a nice online alternative to resize images, add a frame or special effects. Most of these services are free of charges. Another tool I like for its simplicity, speed and user-friendliness is Rollip. Choose out of 40 filters to revamp your pics. And more important: get the result in less than two minutes. Just the kind of tool I like...  All the images in this post are clickable for a better view.

Digital Clouds

Spotted on twitter: Tagxedo a very easy way to make word clouds. I'm always in search of tools that turn data into smart and/or attractive visuals to spice up my presentations (both at work and for this blog). I'm a user of Wordle but Tagxedo offers many more possibilities: embedding, word filtering, upload of docs/url,... Click on the pictures to have a better view:
