Source

Last night I was working with linkbase, an open source program. This morning my kids were drinking a strawberry yogurt drink. Originally made by a cow but altered by others. No sign of the original maker. The cow. Lets extend creative commons! On every product the source of the product should be seen as a

Nature

Today the sun is shining, almost no wind and blue sky. Not behind my computer. I’m with my kids outdoors. Flowers crushed. Strange. They look at me with wide open eyes. Feeling guilty, and wondering why they haven’t changed.

Regina Spektor

American-Russian musician on a piano. The lyrics alone are worth it. Lot’s of humor with a message underneath. Had me somewhat thinking of Loudon Wainwright III without the expressions but with similar context. artist: Regina Spektorwebsite: reginaspektor.com/VPRO: Regina SpektorXFM: Regina Spektorgenre: Folk musicorigin: USA/Russialive concert VPRO: audionumber=15208189favorite song: Consequence of Sounds

Quintron & Miss. Pussycat

I have a soft spot for music with an organ in it.

Die Maus

Did the general drawing of a mouse change since the introduction of the computer and it’s mouse? I think so.

De geur van nieuw hangt hier in de P.C. Hoofdstraat.

Spin-offs of the space-program

Gravity stimulates our motivation to undertake. There are bacteria that can transform sugar into energy. These sugars are made by plants. A new cycle is made. The cycle of energy. Wubbo Okkels (first Dutchman into space 18 years ago) Today the second dutch astronaut went into space. 9 days of space x years of training.

Het lichaam is vreemd

Lichaam en geest worden vaak van elkaar gescheiden terwijl wij niet begrijpen of weten waar de grens eigenlijk ligt of er überhaupt wel is. Toen ik vandaag toekeek hoe mijn kinderen gingen slapen en vanuit hun slaap de juiste houding zochten werd ik weer geconfronteerd met de verwevenheid. Vergeet ik wel eens. Zoek vaak de

Thoughts are like dreams

Like most of my dreams my thoughts make sense when they stay in my head. But when I communicate them by speech or writing they fall apart. Pictures are more flexible.

Leeg design

Naar jaren weer eens een grote reis door Duitsland. Met de trein. Ben verbaast over mijn onderbuik gevoel. Vindt het spannend. In een land die niet je thuis is. Kan intens genieten van die nieuwe prikkels. Nederland is zo gladgestreken en bekend dat er geen verrassing meer om de hoek ligt. We gaan naadloos over

Clear communication

The things I write often lack that. Finding it difficult to make a point, write a well rounded thing. I get tangled up in a never-ending chain of fragmented and expanding thoughts and words. I read loads of blogs that prove it’s possible. A story with a beginning and an end. Creating it’s own little
