Tele vision

Found a small old tv on the street and trying it out for fun.

Buying tickets to go to Paris

I’m living in a world with a radius of a 10 minutes bike ride. Going from point A to B mostly wondering inside my head.

Thought I just drop in and buy those tickets to Paris, a quickie. Instead it’s going to be a long wait (500 and i’ve got 539). Looking forward to having human interaction instead of the hard reality of the internet booking-system.

Was the right decision. The guy at the counter was very helpfull, left a lot of money with him for some pieces of paper that will be worthless in a weeks time. An investment in a dream called publicspeeches.net. In Paris I will film the conference Les Blogs and publish the video on this site.

Geloof heeft niet geholpen

De Zwijger

Went though it today. They really ripped it’s guts out. Brute force. Totally unappealing right now, but like the idea of a multimedia complex and want to be part of it. If I’m not mistaken one of the founders of the foundation I know way back from the Aki.

Liquid lenses

There is a lot of innovation going on. A camera will be more and more part of phones and other devices. So making it small but good is quite the challenge and not to forget lucrative. Smile, You’re on Liquid Camera Sunny Bains – 13 april 2005 – link Why do good cellular telephones fall

Bij de vissen

De jongens genieten van Artis dus gaan we er regelmatig langs.

Apple launches a wireless Internet store

In Japan. The story itself isn’t that spectacular, but the statistic quoted below definitely was (for me anyway), Even though I know Japan is a trendsetter. In Japan, around 74 million people had subscriptions to one of the country’s three wireless Internet services as of the end of February, according to data from the Telecommunication

Current TV

Thanks to Marketingfacts I came across current.tv Looks great and there is a buzz around it. They call it Blog TV. The next big thing. And I must agree, it’s going to be. For radio everybody can start their own radiostation, this will be true for video as well. I think this will be much

The benefit of the doubt

I trying to give myself the benefit of the doubt. Not easy. Looking for objective judgement. That’s an illusion. Finding only the echo of my mind.

Half an onion II

It’s still growing strong. You can find the first photo here.

Vogels

De vogels van mijn oudste zoon vliegen goed.

Roof quality

Enjoyed the afternoon sunshine. We talked our way though sex, manhood, beer, children to discuss Art. Something we all are closely involved in. Pieter put forward that art is about the personal path an artist takes. Seeing them make progress and excel makes it art. Peter found that art was about something new. What use

Lekker uit eten

Gister hoorde ik de hoofdredacteur van het magazine Lekker vertellen dat 150 keer uit eten gaan per jaar niet echt een pretje was. Het was afzien op momenten dat de bediening houterig was en een hel als het eten te wensen over liet. Ben ik toch blij dat ik nu bij Rams op de Wijtenbachstraat

Tomaatje van Carina

Het tomatenplantje heeft het goed gedaan bij Carina, veel potentiële nazaten.

(Had tijdje terug baby tomatenplantjes uitgedeeld aan een heleboel mensen)

Nid + Sancy

The first time I heard the music of Nid + Sancy I thought Drillem had a new name. No, no. It’s the same mix (boy-girl) same genre but more “manly” electronic pop-rock. artist: Nid + Sancywebsite: www.nidandsancy.com VPRO: Nid + Sancygenre: electronic pop punk-rockorigin: Belgium

The space elevator

Riding on the wind of the X-prize, NASA started it own competition elevator2010.org. The prize-money isn’t that much. The most appealing is they consider the elevator to space within their reach. With a little luck I will live to see the day. It opens a lot of options if humanity pulls this of.

Large Hadron Collider magnets at CERN

This is the first of the 1232 dipole magnets for the future collider, which measures 27 km in circumference and is scheduled to be commissioned in 2007. The date was thus a key one for CERN1 since the delivery of the 15 metre long dipole magnet weighing 35 tonnes to its final location marks the

El Guapo Stuntteam

Searching fabchannel for persons that make beautiful music. Finally found some people just making music: El Guapo Stuntteam using their guitars as the extension of their manhood.

More? Try Peter Pan Speedrock.

Window view

Of my studio in Amsterdam in the kraijenhoff building.

Had to climb on a ledge, quite scary but with a great view and a spot in the sun.

Te perfect

Voor mij fietste een ander. Niet zijn gebogen houding maar zijn kleren vielen mij op. Niet extraordinair. Niets flamboyants. Het duurde even. Te netjes. Geen vertoon van slijtage, terwijl de wereld en zijn bewoners daar dagelijks mee wordt geconfronteerd (hedenmiddag barstte de zoveelste knoop). Nee, hij was perfect. Geen foutje te bekennen. Geen matje in

Motion sensor tricks

Or the challenge from Tucows’ Joey deVilla for someone to link the motion sensor to the Trash, so that when you shake the PowerBook it empties like a high-tech Etch A Sketch. Great example of the homo ludens. The first motion sensitive game: balooba.se Read more at wired.com.

Half an onion

This morning my “half an onion” sprung to life. It must be spring.

Levend zand

In de laatste 10 dagen van mei 2005 zullen er dagelijks videoboodschappen verschijnen (10 in totaal) onder de titel Levend zand. Waarin het verhaal van mijn vader en het zand waarop hij leeft en werkt wordt verteld. Dit komt te staan op mijn vlog website not-on.tv. Ik laat me inspireren door mijn vader en de

Les Blogs

An interesting event on 25th of april: Lot of interesting people, full program. At this moment there are 40 million blogs and rising with about 20.000 each day. Hopefully there will be lots of full reports to read on all those blogs. This conference can hold up to 250 people. Update: And I’m going to

Uitbreiding informatieborden bosvijver Ameland

De gemaakte borden uit 2002 zijn vervangen door nieuwe versies die beter tegen zonlicht en barre weersomstandigheden kunnen. Daarnaast nog uitgebreid met 6 borden voor de fazantenkooi. Dit is er één van. Foto’s zijn ook van mijn hand en van de echte bewoners.

The Solution to Blog Spamming?

De blogosphere heeft een ziekte onder de leden. Net als in de echte wereld zijn virussen (contentspammers) niet makkelijk te bestrijden. De blogosphere werd boos en de Googlebomb was een feit. Know your enemy…. Referenties: mediafact.nl en treadwatch.org.
