Rockinpark and a bit of Hydro-Foam boat

Posted by Tjeerd on June 29, 2005

Yes, first thing to start with is to say that Rockinpark was great. The weather was perfect and the prices sucked. That’s why we half the day were searching for plastic cups in exchange for festival-coins. We saved ourselves about 25 euros that way, I think.

Several bands were nice to see, but just for fun actually. The main act where I went for, Nine Inch Nails was really brute, nothing more to say about it. Only stupid thing is that we thought they were performing on another stage, so we had to run over the terrain to the other side. That’s why I missed the first four songs they played, grrr.

Anyway, what about a boat which can fly, drive on land and sail on water? Yes, it does exist and it’s called a Hydro-Foam boat. Not interested in stories? Then just watch this movie.

Optical Illusions and Phenomena

Posted by Tjeerd on June 25, 2005

There are already a lot of sites on the Internet showing nice optical illusions, but I found this site which gives a very good overview and explanation of optical illusions (55 in total). Most of them are good animated and there were even some new ones which I didn’t know. Stays funny that your eyes and the whole system behind it (…) can be faked or be mislead so easily.

Scattering with porridge

Posted by Tjeerd on June 23, 2005
Today is a beautiful day, sun is shining and it seems to be getting warm outside. It’s only a shame that I have to go to work with this weather. Anyway. Before it’s that far, I usually first do a breakfast. Because I am lazy person with this warm weather I just activate the cooking plate, get some cowmilk from the fridge and warm it up in a pan. That’s already risky job early in the morning, because in contrary to myself, the milkmolecules are getting pretty active after some heat. The final task is to enter your porridge-powder into that pan. Which I also succeeded in today. But then you have to put the porridgepowderpack back into the kitchencabinet and for some f**cking reason it was in there, but when I closed the doors of it, the porridgepowderpack tumbled 90 degrees sideward with the opening downside. What you see then is some sort of avalanche of porridgepowder streaming downwards onto the work top and one big mess. Great way to start your day that way.
