Augmented Surfaces

Have a look at this, like it but you need loads of stuff to get it really working. But it gives an idea of the/a future where we carry our data with us or can access it though the internet. And work with and share it from any table. Augmented Surfaces is a computer augmented

Enter Fusedspace

Just entered FUSEDSPACE (an international competition for innovative applications for new technology in the public domain). Together with IPSD. The deadline is closed now. But there probably be a new one in the near future and anyone can enter! It’s important to think about this new public space called internet and the world wide web

Groovy

Scanning LP’s (or any old mechanical audio carrier), it’s getting better and better. Even better than the original. The trick: confocal laser microscopy. And it’s not just for fun. You can read more about the technique on Wikipedia.

Clouds

My thoughts are like clouds. Some are small and drift away. Others are big and grow out to give rain to the tree of life. And hopefully we will harvest the fruits someday.

I love to facilitate!

More and more I am becoming aware of the fact that facilitate is all I want to do. All the time.Creating structures, systems that are mostly automated but make live easier, more practical, fun, interesting, you name it and I want to do it! It all started with a discussion we had at a party

Spammy proverbs

Get more every day. Just started one e-mail address yesterday and it got spammed today. But like this spam message because it was embedded in loads of random proverbs.

Chateau Alpen Sahne my favorite

Just so you know and for me to remember.

The ultimate statistic of a capitalistic world

An article stated that the calculated the worth of a western person is 6 million dollar. And that of a person in a 3rd world country is 22.200 dollar (approx.). They wanted to know they should invest in people or the environment. My first reaction was that they should start investing in me. I will

Waste of / wasting time

Kids asleep. Turning on the tv, another hour of production swallowed by inactivity. I want to run, and escape myself. But watching tv is like floating on my dreams and those of others to never wake up.

Happy

This weekend is family weekend. So we left amsterdam and traveled by train, bus and boat to Ameland. Small island in the north of The Netherlands where my parents live. Just made this website public and love the abbility to update it from a different location and computer. I write this at the neigbours place.

Geen tijd

I find nice blogs everyday. This time it’s a dutch one. And it’s small, and no-nonsence. And it’s made with pivot. Have played around with pivot for publicworks.nl and percentageregeling.nl, but couldn’t get around the fact that you couldn’t have sub categories. Using xoops instead now (here anyway). But whenever I see a pivot blog

It’s all about commitment

And the focus there-in. I am committed to my children, my family, my work, my friends, my neighbours, the people I work with, my city, the society I’m living in. And in my work these items come up every time. Lot’s of commitment and less able to focus. My brother just graduated on management. Made

Storytime

It’s about ten in the evening. pissed off because I had to take something somewhere. A useless activity (live is full of it). When you have that flow of adrenaline you can drive fast (by bike). So I thought I could shorten the time lost, “back in half an hour or so”. Until someone waves

Looks

Like I said in a previous post. Finally got this xoops website running. I’m in xoops heaven and was happy with the looks, isn’t ideal but functionality is more important. But after a week I can’t stop thinking off restyling. Will it never end? Will have to ask the xoops community lots of questions.

Me and my shadow

About 3 years ago I came up with this idea. My idea’s and my knowledge of internet has grown. And the idea from then still stands tall. In short: All the things I buy plus the where and when tells a story about me. Would it be possible to really know me with all that data? I already have years of reciepts to share (on paper).

Have a look at the flash presentation at stats.bemyguest.net.

Onze ouders

Over 10 jaar is een kwart van de Nederlandse samenleving boven de 65 jaar. Achter elke 4e deur woont dan iemand van 65 jaar en ouder. Mijn ouders zullen daar deel van zijn.

Wind crane

On the building-site next to my studio there are two large cranes. They move with the wind. When the direction of the wind changes they slowly and silently align.

De eerste tram

De eerste keer dat ik een tram door de Czaar Peter Straat zag rijden.Nieuw gevoel.

Open brief naar de Wik

Geachte heer, mevrouw, Bij deze bied ik mijn verontschuldiging aan voor het late toesturen van dit Heronderzoek- en inlichtingenformulier 2003/2004. Het leven is geen kattenpis, en slokt mij derhalve volledig op. Tussen mijn gezin, werk en kunstenaarschap (ontwikkeling, productie, acquisitie, presentatie, competities, prijsvragen), wettelijke verplichtingen, eten, verteren en slapen, vind ik nauwelijks tot geen ruimte
