LED innovation

Again from Wired News (inspirational day). With engineer E. Fred Schubert, talking about a new era of “smart” light sources.

Nanoglue Stickier Than Gecko Toes, fantasy going strong

Researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Akron have used their knowledge of what makes geckos stick to create a carpet of super-sticky carbon nanotubes that could form the basis for future types of adhesives. Wired News article reports.It’s not a new story that Gecko’s have special feet and that science is interested

Redesign 7

Just read an article about web 2.0, addressing designers to the fact that content is being extracted from their design through the implementation of xml. I thought I’ll take a head-start.

Redesign number 6 lasted 2 months :)

Een luchtig gevoel

Production

At the studio for the Tolkresj. Where my kids have a great time with other kids.

It’s a (half a)daycare totally run by the parents and with the parents. We are celebrating our 35 year excistence with an event for everybody who had ever been part of this great initiative.

Absolute leeftijd

Het Interview met Harry Mulisch op de website van Frans Ellingmann doet mij geloven dat [Harry Mulisch iets wezenlijks gevonden heeft al doet hij het af als gimmick en grap. De absolute leeftijd van de ziel. Hij koppelt het aan een leeftijd in de fysieke tijdsspanne. Voor Harry Mulisch is dit 17. Wat is de

Sunflowers

Beauty is just a temporary state of being.

Ameland revisited

Still not for me.

Sail 2005

Many ships and so many people…

Happy knowing you

Busride back to Amsterdam

And getting used to it

Great way to think of nothing and everything at the same time. Maybe I take my MD with me Saturday when I again embark on the 5 hours trip to Ameland to get the kids.

Nessemer Bos

Lekker met de jongens aan de wandel

Seagull

I’m saddened by this. He’s walking in his natural habitat, food under his feet and still he takes the junk we are so arrogantly throwing on it.
We people tent to feel superior to all other living creatures (founded on our conscienceness and intellect). But consciencely being conscienceless makes me conclude the opposite.

(this foto is just an modest example of what triggers my growing dissatisfaction)

Vacation

…is not for me

Greed

The lottery is just an unethical way skim money and redistribute wealth to the few. And I’m entering the arena for 3 months expecting loads of the cash on my bank-account. They offered me a modest bargain and caved. Hoping it’s Kismet. But greed should never me rewarded.

Walking

I had to walk for almost a week now. I missed my bike even-though I like walking, it makes my brain feel less stressed. It’s very impractical especially when you have a busy week scheduled.

My “good as new” bike feels great, needed a lot of transplants to make it so. Love getting acquainted again.

Hé!

Nog een Kamagurka uit mijn dierbare papieren collectie van Haagse Post ergens uit 1981/85.

Falsa

The rehearsal of Falsa (they already changed their name like they do every month). Took me a month to finalize. The footage itself was spontaneous and the pieces where to solated (image and music wise) to create a continuing flow. Pieter-Jan used the same footage. So we now have two directors cuts.

Grandes idées

Great idea’s should give just enough structural mass to create space.

(Just something to think about when I think of something)

Kamagurka in 1985 voor hp (haagse post)

Ooit een keer een stapel HP’s gevonden uit 1981-1985. Veel van z’n strips bewaard samen met nog andere artikelen en omslagen. Blader ze eens in de zoveel jaar even door. Geen idee wanneer ik uiteindelijk afscheid van ze neem.
