A Dutch poem
Friday, March 5th, 2010
After 15 years of not writing even a scratch of something poetic (and before that not writing more than two lines of it), I’ve finally, finally, come up with something that remotely resembles a poetic (and seriously tragic but also recognisable) idea. It’s Dutch, and here it is:

Korzo at 5Hoog & Japanese bookbinding at UB
Sunday, February 28th, 2010
Last Friday I joined a small workshop on Japanese Bookbinding at the UB. It was quite interesting to learn about its tradition and to spend 20 minutes fiddling with paper, needle and thread, glue and objects to hammer with. But most spectacular were the Japanese books on exhibit just for this workshop. They were taken [...]
iPod synchronisation error (-48)
Sunday, February 28th, 2010
I ran into a problem with iTunes this morning where it would tell me that it couldn’t synch my iPod—which wasn’t a problem until this morning. I’ve had issues before concerning synchronizing and copying music to my iPod, which had to do with the speed of the usb port I used. Apparently the usb ports [...]

Combichrist
Friday, February 12th, 2010
Last week I visited a concert by Combichrist, a hardcore techno band that’s currently Rammstein’s supporting act on their Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da tour. I saw Combichrist at the Rammstein concert in the Gelredome on December 6th, and I’ve been gathering their music ever since. They tweeted last week that their show in P60 [...]
Anton Pieck
Thursday, February 4th, 2010
I’ve been a fan of Anton Pieck’s work for about two years now (and yes, he’s the guy who thought up the Efeling sprookjesbos), and in this time I’ve gathered some scanned prints of him. To make a long story short, here’s one of the best drawings I’ve seen:
Food Rules
Sunday, January 31st, 2010
I just finished reading “Food Rules”, a book by Michael Pollan about how to eat healthily. He provides 64 simple rules that lead to a healthier diet, and through such a diet, to a healthier life. Most of these rules are common sense if you think about it, and taken all together they don’t really [...]
10-20mm
Saturday, January 30th, 2010
I bought a second-hand 10-20mm Sigma lens the other weekend, and last Tuesday I got my first real opportunity to use it while visiting a friend who was dog-sitting a friend’s dog for a few weeks. We got outside to walk the dog, and I took some pictures of Leiden as we went along. It [...]
