k_nstvl__. 2006

I was invited by Mauz, he was participating (collaboration with PLANETART) in this art event “de kunstvlaai” that is traditionally running at the same time that ArtAmsterdam is doing it’s thing in a more orderly fasion at the RAI. Haven’t been there in I guess two years or maybe even more. I can’t remember. I

WAR

I saw this picture on the VPRO website today and I can’t describe how this photo makes me feel. But I can’t get my eyes of it and my stomach and hart are getting heavy and heavier. Yesterday we (the Netherlands) celebrated our liberty, the end of WOII. Maybe that’s why.

Flow

FlOw is a practice of player oriented Flow design. It is a game where players with different skills can intuitively customize their Flow experiences through the fundamental gameplay and enjoy the entire experience in their own paces. Quite nice, made it to level 2 (if you can call it that) before I got distracted (90

Information density

Jonathan Spanier, a team member from Drexel University, estimates that the nanowires could theoretically be used to make computer memory drives with a density of 10,000 terabits (1016 bits) of data per cubic centimetre. By contrast, current flash memory drives store about five gigabits (5 x 109) of data per cubic centimetre. But before such

Mud

In our strive for higher conciseness the mud called life keeps us from it and pushes us towards it at the same time.

Throwing Easter eggs

In the dunes on the west side of Ameland.

The perfect woman

She is right in front of me, just a few meters away moving at the same speed and direction as I do. Riding a nice green omafiets. Old but well preserved and maintained (no dirt on the rims). On the front there is a big black plastic crate supported by a red holder, quite new.

What to do with intellect and non-conformistic thinking

I read this article on Netkwesties by Jaap van Till: Internet is de Wilde Allesverbindende Zee. He makes his point by looking back at the golden age of the Dutch and the years after Word War II. I don’t think this hold quite well but the message it sends needs to be addressed. Will we

Find your destination on Mars

The people going to Mars will never get lost. Now you can start memorizing with google maps.

Sea treasure

A couple of containers form a container ship went overboard during a storm above the wadden islands. And these dolls wash up on shore. My dad collects them and makes them dance.

Snow in March

How does matter structure itself?

When I saw this lecture of Prof. dr. D. Frenkel trough fabchannel (very easy to follow) I thought about these pictures I took in 1993. We all know the flowers on our window but these were massive.It was in an old stone mine. A gap of approx. 40 meters deep and 400 by a 200

Voodoo?!

My father found this on the beach of Ameland, a small island on the north-sea coast of The Netherlands. We are all wondering if this is real or just some sailor who made his souvenir into someone he hates. Update: It’s a power figure (Nkisi) made in Congo. The expert thinks its a souvenir too.

Winter dancers

In the garden of my parents in February. Amazing.

Early bird

Walking back in the early morning I got this present handed to me.

Haarlem

Op bezoek bij Dienst Wonen

Ik ga hier nooit aan wennen.

Bananacake

Nothing special, nothing new, but great fun. With my just acquired mixer, a small oven (given by friends), my two sons fighting over who’s doing what. And after waiting and waiting and waiting … eating the hot cake as a desert.

Slave Free chocolate

A worthwhile initiative by Teun van de Keuken of de Keuringsdienst van Waarden and I guess it will also be a marketing hit (in Holland anyway). And hopefully it will shake up the chocolate industry who are not doing anything to prevent (child) slavery. I’m a big fan of chocolate and most of the time

Troubleshooting Macos X (10.4)

Problems with sound and iMovie. A bit technical and not that interesting, but maybe it helps someone with the same problems. And the solution will surprise you. I had problems with Macos X 10.4. Suddenly there wasn’t any sound when I played realplayer files, flash movies or WMP (Windows Media Player) and iMovie was acting

Services I recently discovered

Roaming the wild west web there are some interesting services being created. This is a list of those I recently discovered.

Trying to get to terms …

I’m afraid I’m going to rant about something new and something newer at Apple. Steve Jobs just held his keynote at MacWorld San Fransisco. And introduced the MacBook Pro based on the intel chip. Looks like a great machine with great software. And that 4 months before shedule (I bet they knew beforehand and didn’t

Baken – ’t Oerd – Ameland

Graffiti Trees

I’m indexing all the hours of tapes and find quite a lot to process.

This Image is of when I was in Paris for Les Blogs in April 2005.

The strangeness of death…

And the miracle of life …

I was to focused on the video so a didn’t answer all my sons questions. And every time I play this video I feel sorry that I didn’t. You can hear he was heartbroken and needed some consolation.

Amsterdam – Ameland

On my way to my parents to celebrate the new year with their grand kids.

Ahlen – Amsterdam

A resting place in Germany.
