Yes, this blogpost is longer than normal but I wanted to create one holistic view. If you are not a big reader just scan the nice bits or go to the end The Lift The past week I was in Geneva, the city where HTTP/HTML or in other words the internet was invented. I visited [...]
A passion seems to grow stronger in me the last few months. 2007 was a year of finding purpose and combining all the puzzle pieces. Most while sharing thoughts with people and doing so I learned to appreciate a lot of valuable things more and more. Things that did not even seem to be new [...]
Well I am still here online and blogging. There were some quieter times but there are still topics I want to share. Putting your thoughts into concrete text really helps to evolve new ideas. It is really weird to look at statistics. How just a thought could travel all over the world. My statistics show [...]
Sorry for the lack of updates. It is still getting used to my new roles. I am running multiple projects like for example setting up wikis and weblogs as new communications structures and a creative event platform for multimedia for my old study and current job. I am also blogging on the future of Fryslân [...]
The End Well at the moment this post comes online I will be in the middle of my graduation project presentation which marks the end as student of Communication & Multimedia Design (CMD). It was a journey that searched for the essentials behind media, design and information. It began as a search for ultimate serious [...]
I forgot to celebrate the 6 month celebration of this blog. 6 months of regular blogging… This blog really evolved my thinking and made my search for information more specific. My ideas on some areas really got some space to evolve. At the moment I have found two three main topics to blog on: Design, [...]
I am back from a short but very inspiring vacation with Jos and Joost to Berlin. I really fell in love with Berlin. The mood and the people, wow… The openess really surprised me. I really began to understand the openess came out of the violent past. What tearing down a wall can do with [...]
I love to dance. I love to lose myself in the music. It just happens with a good rythm. A good DJ can guide you through an experience where you forget about the world and reality. Where you are in the flow and where your personal tastes and problems don’t matter anymore. It is just [...]
Well, it is a bit quieter on the blog. I have been busy again modelling and texturing stuff for a certain user conference in the near future. (besides all the other stuff that comes on my path) Somehow I was in the flow again of producing content quickly. Losing track of time etc. Well it [...]
You have to deal with how people are perceiving you daily. Every culture has rules on what is the best perception and which is less attractive. The way you are observed is your image. It is the base on which people judge you and categorize you. The more people know you the less they form [...]
It has been a busy week. A last minute project came by with a deadline that was very tight, but we managed to deliver a 3d visual update in time. The project was build by others so it is always getting used to how they managed all the assets. We proved to ourselves that we [...]
The blog exists for 3 months now. Time for a reflection! I tried to write regular posts on my previous sites and they never worked… I was more busy with tuning the experience of the site than with real content. With getting back to basics in this one I think I finally managed to write [...]
I really like to have new gadgets. I don’t buy gadgets suddenly but search for them till the right one comes by. For almost 4 years I had a nokia 3510, I got it cheap, it was reliable with long battery power and was very easy in calling and sending SMS functions. The calender grew [...]
I like to watch series and to lose myself in the story. I have been watching many series, some were better than the others. But one stands out to me lately: Battlestar Galactica Battlestar Galactica is a scifi series with ships in space and it’s main theme is robots. But it is nowhere close to [...]
My dads weblog is online. Designed by me and built upon wordpress. My father was already a regular visitor of blogs of others and now he has his own publishing platform. He should only have picked a better image of me for his first post…
Step by step Bumpy roads Easy roads Slow or speedy bits. Time goes by, what was tomorrow is already yesterday. What you where longing for is already normal. Seconds just fly by. Some are better than others. You get wiser on how to spend them …Euhm not always. Looking back you always regret what you [...]
Well this week I finally started my gratuation project. It is fun to see with what kind of project you end up with after the years of Communication and Multimedia Design. Two years ago I thought I would create a big 3D animation. I have done that as a part of the crew of the [...]
Here are some random photos of the trip. Special thanks to Nadia for taking them! Oh and the image give the impression it was small and there were not a lot of people, but it was the other way around. I don’t know how Nadz took those pictures without any people on them… Car trouble [...]
Yesterday I went to a new festival in Eindhoven called STRP. After a troublesome trip and car malfunctions we finally arrived. (the trip took 5 hours) The festival took place in the Strijp building where Philips did some of the biggest technological discoveries like the audio cassette, video 2000 system (which was superior to the [...]
The winter is almost over, a new spring begins. The temperatures are climbing, hormones begin doing their work again which begin to take over the control of my eyes. It is times of new energies, new ideas. I tend to be less focused now and more influenced by sudden sparks in my mind. It is [...]
Some quotes from a chat with jill that went through some real life issues. I thought some blurbs were worth to be saved from the black logs of death. (translated to English for the international audience) Jill: Because your life is a journey of discoveries… but that’s life…you try to get a grip on everything… [...]
Well the weblog is now my main site. It was very necessary because my old fancy flash website was not updated in a while. The website was always about its features I liked to program than about the content it provided. I had all kinds of thoughts on how to improve the experience of surfing [...]
I had a semi busy day today. Mostly running around to get things done or get more info on tasks that still are on my todo list. I am in the last stages of my study and have some obligatory competences I have to complete before I can begin my graduation assignment. I managed to [...]
Sleeping much, not hungry, feeling slightly dizzy when standing up, a running nose etc. Well thats being sick. I got through but it started some subjects in my head. Those fevers do strange things with your mind… First of all it made me unsure of some of the paths I chose to walk after my [...]
