Month: November 2017

After another month at Europeana working as a front-end developer using Angular, it is time to move forward with my next interesting challenge in the wonderful world of software development.

At Europeana, they are building an amazing dashboard application which will allow customers to do some amazing things with their cultural heritage data.

Hopefully I was able to contribute some useful improvements to this product and look forward to keeping in touch with them. On things is for sure, I learned alot and met some nice people.

"... we are on the threshold of both heaven and hell, moving nervously between the gateway of the one and the anteroom of the other. History has still not decided where we will end up, and a string of coincidences might yet send us rolling in either direction."

As you can see from this ancient cave painting dating back who knows how many thousands of years, even at the beginning of civilization the human mind craved creative expression and immortality.

Was this due purely to some dastardly mutations of the DNA, a spontaneous sizzle of electrical sparks in a developing cortex, an inspiration from a loving God who chose to reveal himself, or a combination of similar random spiritual and physical events?

Probably none of the above, but rather some other reason that we will never understand.
