Stop Working : Be Passionate

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Very interesting post on Seth Godin’s blog who sets a distinction between two categories of workers : the workaholics and the passionates.

A workaholic lives on fear. It’s fear that drives him to show up all the time. The best defense, apparently, is a good attendance record.

A new class of jobs (and workers) is creating a different sort of worker, though. This is the person who works out of passion and curiosity, not fear.

And it’s exactly what our mindset at Emakina: creating exciting jobs that keep us working much longer than the usual “from nine to five”. Just because we like what we do. Designing cool websites. Taking up technological challenges. Brainstorming on the great idea that will make our next campaign successful. Like Jeff Bezos (Amazon CEO) once said : “Have fun, work hard.”

The Reference puts RTBF Radio Channels on Microsoft Media Center

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Yesterday at the Circle of Media organized by Microsoft Belgium, our colleague Thomas De Vos from The Reference had the opportunity to present one of our most interesting projects of this first quarter.

If you have a Microsoft Media Center in your living room, you’re now able to listen to the five RTBF radio stations (La Première, Musiq 3, PureFM, Classic 21 and VivaCité) in three different ways: live streaming, on demand (= RTBF podcasting for the couch potato) or “à la carte”. This third feature lets you subscribe to a range of generic threads gathering all the radio shows around a common theme : cinema, sports, economy, politics…

The interface has been designed exclusively for the Media Center remote control and is fully compatible with both Xp and Vista editions. Watch our video to discover how it looks like :

With more than 100.000 classifieds in its database, Immoweb (Produpress group) is the biggest property portal on the Belgian market. You can now enjoy a more user-friendly interface that means searching for your next house or apartment is even easier than before. Our team also carried out an in-depth overhaul of the “My Immoweb” feature used by more than 67.000 members. This revamping is the result of close collaboration between Emakina (design) and B. On The Net (development), the “historic” web agency of Immoweb.
