Wees opnieuw welkom op DebodeQ.com!

Klein vraagje: Hebben mensen eigenlijk nog echt hun eigen website in 2018? Of gebruikt iedereen gewoon Twitter? ... Had ik misschien moeten vragen voordat ik begon te werken aan deze nieuwe website maar goed! Who cares, amiright?

Na een lange tijd een simpele landing pagina te hebben gehad zonder enige vorm van content is de website eindelijk terug met wat inhoud. 't Is nog niet volledig af, hier en daar zullen er nog kleine dingen aangepast worden. Ik droom er van om de mogelijkheid te geven aan gebruikers om te kiezen tussen deze dark theme en een andere light theme, zoals de meeste fancy websites tegenwoordig hebben, maar dat is (hopelijk) voor later.

De grootste verandering zijn:
• Vanaf heden is alles in het Nederlands! Misschien voeg ik nog andere talen toe zodat je kan kiezen, maar dat zien we later wel...
• Geen tientalle pagina's! Al kan dat misschien nog veranderen, maar momenteel past alles wat je moet weten op 1 handige pagina.
• Er is ... geen Helium-5 tab. OH NEE! Aangezien we al meerdere maanden geen video's meer gemaakt hebben zag ik het nut er niet van in om die hier te zetten, maar hopelijk kan ik dat snel toevoegen aan de website! (+ er is altijd helium5.be)
• 't Ziet er eigenlijk best goed uit!
• Links naar alle social media kanalen zijn op elke pagina te vinden. Want niet overal is het /debodeq, oops.

Et voila! Opnieuw: welkom. Al wat ik nu moet doen is niet vergeten de website up-to-date houden en niet binnen een maand een nieuwe design lanceren. Wordt plezant!

Here’s your chance to win Helium-5 merch!

As announced in the latest video, there’s a giveaway where you get the chance to win the blue Helium-5 hoodie! Participating in the giveaway is very easy: All you need to do is post a comment on the YouTube video.

Welcome to Helium-5!

Clean reset! /randombelgium is no more, and all its content has been removed. Time for a new chapter, the channel has rebranded to youtube.com/helium5! Its first vlog series, “onstabiel.”, has just launched. Episodes will be bi-weekly on tuesdays.

More content and info to follow soon.

Two years ago, I co-founded the company called Pixel Tree. As of yesterday, however, we closed.

I remember December 2015 well. After months of being asked to do projects for friends, family and acquaintances, Michiel Vossen and I finally decided to officially start a company. We called it Pixel Tree. The idea behind the company name was that we’d help you grow thanks to powerful online content. We had a great start, with multiple projects for Sport Vlaanderen (then Bloso), myShopi, Kerrygold and more.

Sadly, we were not able to stay on that growing path. The number of projects decreased and we had difficulty finding new projects. Looking back, there are a couple of things we could’ve done differently, but that is not how I choose to look back at Pixel Tree.

It’s been an interesting time full of laughter, frustrations and lessons. Both on a professional level, as on a personal one. We’ve grown a lot and walk away from Pixel Tree with a smile.

I’d like to thank everyone who believed in us, especially all our clients.
It’s been great.

There are two T-shirts available on Teespring right now.

The ‘Fake News’ shirt sale has been extended and the brand new ‘Cooler on the internet’ shirt has been added. Get yours now before it’s too late! Teespring only allows shirts to be up for a limited time. Sales of both shirts will end in two weeks.

We’re very proud to introduce you to RE:WIND.

RE:WIND is a brand new community based news and opinion platform. The goal is to inform and entertain, and most importantly: to start a conversation.

The new platform will be locate at rewindnews.be and we’re currently posting our first articles and trying out the first weekly YouTube show. Hopefully, that’ll be launched in the coming weeks.

We hope you enjoy the platform. Our goal is to post several new articles a day. Videos will be weekly.

More updates following soon!

Next month, it’ll be time for the 2015 edition of the Belgian YouTube Gathering. Sadly, this update is to inform everyone that I will not be present at the event.

As most of you know, I was the event manager for the previous two successful #BYTG gatherings. As of this edition, I will no longer be part of the organization. This has been one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever made and certainly the most bittersweet. But after months of discussions with friends and family, I can honestly say this is the right decision. I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me for over these past editions, it's been incredible.

I do encourage everyone to go to the upcoming event on the 14th of February in Antwerp! You can find more information on their Facebook event page.
