Macro

Last week I’ve been exper­i­ment­ing with Macro-photography. On the inter­net I came across a web­site about it, and found a nice sug­ges­tion of how to start it. It is pos­si­ble to make macro pic­tures by either revers­ing your lens, of by adding a reversed lens to your exist­ing lens. Since I still had my old cam­era lay­ing around, I used the

Tear of the Devil

Last night I had a dream, a dream of an inten­sity I sel­dom have. I feel it might have some mean­ing, though I haven’t fig­ured out exactly what it is. In my dream(1) I’m back at my par­ents house. I’m in my bed, sleep­ing. While I am sleep­ing in my dream(1), I start dream­ing(2). First it all seems nat­ural, until my dream(2) (inside

Discover Music

I just came across a very inter­est­ing web­site, see this quote: Ever since we started the Music Genome Project, our friends would ask: Can you help me dis­cover more music that I’ll like? Those ques­tions often evolved into great con­ver­sa­tions. Each friend told us their favorite artists and songs, explored the music we sug­gested, gave us feed­back,

Rasterbator

Today I found a very cool tool on the inter­net, called the Raster­ba­tor. Using this web­site, you can ras­ter­ize and blow up a pic­ture to giant pro­por­tions. It will return you with a PDF, suit­able for print­ing, and with some cut­ting and glue­ing you can make your own giant poster. I tried it with a pic­ture of a girl which I once drew, and

Concert

Jimmy Eat World Today was a ter­ri­ble and also a great day! I was rudely awak­ened by my house mate, cos there were prob­lems with our server. It didn’t take long before that was fixed so I took the rest of the morn­ing to take an ultra-long shower! Haha When I came back from that, I learned about the ter­ror­ist attack on

Hot air balloon

So many hot air bal­loons these days, I like them. It must be so won­der­ful to ride a bal­loon through the skies! I hope one day I can. To see the world in a dif­fer­ent per­spec­tive will be so amaz­ing. All the peo­ple walk­ing around like ants

Unie der Nederlandse Staten

Staat u mij toe u mee te nemen op een kort gedachten exper­i­ment, naar de Unie van Ned­er­landse Staten, een alter­natief Ned­er­land. Dit Ned­er­land deelt voor een groot deel de geschiede­nis met ons land, maar ver­schilt daar toch veel van. De inwon­ers van de ver­schil­lende Staten zijn namelijk altijd erg trots geweest op hun afkomst. De Friezen

Light and Darkness / Licht en Duisternis

In a fierce attempt to drown the land and new life of spring, the rain cov­ered the world, snatch­ing away the day from the domin­ion of the sun. It was like the sun didn’t rise at all this morn­ing. Appar­ently night and water­streams had plot­ted together, to over­come the morn­ing in her sleep. The clock ticked

Elfenlied

Os iusti med­itabitur sapi­en­tiam Et lin­gua eius loque­tur iudi­cium Bea­tus vir qui suf­fert ten­ta­tionem Quo­niam cum pro­ba­tus fuerit Accip­iet Coro­nam Vitae Kyrie, Ignis Divine, elei­son Oh quam sancta, quam ser­ena, quam benigna, quam amoena Oh casti­ta­tus lil­ium The mouth of the Just shall med­i­tate wis­dom, and His tongue shall speak judge­ment. Blessed is the man

Locust

This morn­ing I was rudely awak­end from my sleep by my room­mate. While she was going to the bath­room, she stum­bled upon this beau­ti­ful crea­ture: [Photo miss­ing] So I was appointed to ‘get the scary ani­mal out of the bath­room’. Know­ing fried and sug­ared locust is a treat to many peo­ple, I sug­gested we’d give it a try, but that
