For some months there have been weblogs opened on the website of Constant.
These weblogs are personal reactions, foto galeries, movie critics,
presentations, recent information,... They are not finished projects but
rather evolving ideas, points of view concerning the daily evolution of
technology.

The content of the weblogs can be syndicated on the following adress:
http://www.constantvzw.com/weblogs.php

**A weblog, or *blog, is a frequently updated website consisting of dated
entries. It is often used by small groups or individuals to write their
own stories and their style is personal and informal. Though weblogs are
primarily textual, experimentation with sound, images, and videos has
resulted in related genres such as photoblogs, videoblogs, and audioblogs.
