Party pigeons

The pancakes I baked earlier are for the street party with the neighbours. You can’t go wrong with pankakes. These pigeons were fying above us the whole time.

Layers of time

Playing with my children and backing pancakes. Every pancake solidified that time and in turn will be consumed by others.

Genesaver, human cell holding (his) hands

In a paper called “The coiled-coil of the human Rad50 DNA repair protein contains specific segments of increased flexibility” by the Department of Nanoscience and Delft Institute of Microelectronics and Submicrontechnology, had this image in it and it sparkes my imagination on a tiny scale. Quote out of the paper for this image: Two sections

Modern day archaeology?

This is going to happen more and more.

Mixing lecture and music

On my way back from the lecture at De Waag I impulsively hit my brakes while passing the Desmet studio’s on the Plantage Middenlaan. Started talking to the big but friendly bouncer and after a while he invited me in. He warned me that it wouldn’t be anything spectacular today. But he was wrong. Three

Cyberspace Salvations

A lecture about technology and spirituality in the Waag by Lee Felsenstein that took me great effort to grasp. Still waiting for the online video at connect.waag.org to listen to it again (and again). For the meantime… A recent podcast with Lee: The RU Sirius Show: NeoFiles #6: Lee Felsenstein (Jul 28, 2005).A relevant document

Cinematiek 9, ’t Hoogt te Utrecht

Door een behoorlijk regelmatige uitwisseling met Frank over wat voor definitie de verschillende hedendaagse instituten zoals Lazy Marie er op na houden bij selectie van kunst, was ik dan toch verleid om de fysieke kunstwereld weer eens te verkennen. Dus ging ik naar Cinematiek 9 en Utrecht. Om hopelijk los te komen van mijn vooringenomenheid

The pay per view internet

Storing a big chunk of the article for safekeeping. It’s one of the prophecies and I hate to see it disapear into the void of software updates and database failures. For the record I think heis right on many accounts. Lets see what the future holds for the internet. Access denied Rafael Behr – 11

A great day for mankind, the Chimpanzee Genome

We are going to find the defect/inactive genes that made us weaker, grow less hair, gave us the tendency to walk with our nose upwards and in a sense kept us baby’s with a brain which kept growing. We are no more than a freak of nature prone to extinction. Just some leftover fossils in

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.

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

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.
