You won't hear me complain, Yves? Have fun!

Congratulated with the one year anniversary. I realy enjoy Unzipped, in Dutch or English. cheers!

Laat het wel voor iedereen duidelijk zijn dat de "comments" zoals vroeger in het Nederlands mogen. Niemand moet via Altavista of andere vertaal -hulpmiddelen van Nederlands naar Engels (ou Français-Anglais) gebruiken. Donc pour nos amis Francophones: que les articles de Yves sont en anglais, ne peut vous empêcher de réagir ou de mettre des commentaires dans la langue de Voltaire.

Congratulations Yves! We will be happy to read in either english/dutch/french -- just post more often, to the point, and dare to approach also less safe subjects. TypoBerlin is over, but there was no single post about it, for example. They say, good news = fresh news! We're waiting, faithfully yours...

unzipped goes world-famous! good luck and thanks for a year full of fontshop

Bedankt, Yves. And bedankt also to the belgium/flaams-or-dutch-speaking-readers, that you are so generous to let the rest of the world read the thoughts of this marvellous man, too.

Thankoo thankoo thankoo for the kind words. I'm not worthy, really. Thank you all for sticking around, and for the comments on the threads. I really like it when we get some dialogue going. :)

OK There is something wrong with my e-mail notification, because I'm not receiving warnings for new comments and I missed both Co's and Tijl's. I just noticed that Co has some specific wishes for Unzipped. It's true I attended Type Berlin, but I hadn't really planned on reporting about it. I was invited and already went beyond the call of duty by offering to do a presentation, so I considered I'd already done my share. But if you insist, I'll write up a report; just bear with me while I gather some images'n'stuff. And about posting more often... that is a source of frustration for myself. I'd really like to, but my full-time job plus freelance work, family and involvement in a pop/rock band make that a little hard. It often happens that I get home from work, spend a little time with the kids and my wife and then start working all over again, writing for Unzipped often till two, even three in the morning. Then I have to get up at seven to drive the kids to school. Let's say I write more than Stephen and less than Jürgen (but sometimes I suspect he doesn't do anything else, because boy does he post often!).

Conratulations on your first anniversary. I join the chorus of many who are pleased about the switch to English. Now the Yvesy goodness is available to a vast new audience of type hungry designers.

Thank you very much, Bart. I really appreciate your kind words.

Yves, you've done a great job this last year. As a journalist turned graphic designer, I recognize the quality of your writing as well as your discerning eye on everything visual. Your hesitation to switch to English might have had to do with losing your native language. This narrows down your toolbox for expression somewhat. A price well paid for addressing a greater audience, I think. Especially if the difference doesn't feel like that big of a transition. Een welgemeend compliment.
