When there’s no power…
you have to write with a pen. Slashdot’s question of the day is ‘Which pen is the best when you don’t have a wordprocessor?‘. In earlier days, I remember Alfons’ obsession to find the best pen. If I’m not wrong, … Continue reading

JFK’s TWA terminal
The Gothamist has an item about the TWA terminal at JFK’s which apparently was designed by Eero Saarinen. The terminal has been closed for a couple years: it reminds me of a map for Half-Life, or better yet, for any … Continue reading

Gamelan
I salute you, Gamelan Pacifica, for blending the voices of instruments and humans, just like an original Gamelan troupe. I salute you, Gamelan Sekar Jaya, for dedicating yourself to the presentation of traditional and contemporary Balinese performing arts. I salute … Continue reading

Bike, life and death
I was going to add Ken Kifer’s Bike pages to the Elsewhere links, after reading the thread at Metafilter that he was killed in an accident. Highly unfortunate circumstances he died in, so might just as well add it to … Continue reading

Bridging the divide
The BBC opened up some space for an interesting series called ‘Bridging the divide’, to discuss, explore and (hopefully) bridge the differences between the West and the Islam. Yesterday they had a quite candid and open interview with president Musharraf … Continue reading

Listen to the movies
I don’t know if this is legal, but it’s hilarious for sure: someone decided to rip off the complete audio of a bunch of movies, export them to Flash and make them available for everyone to hear and to enjoy. … Continue reading

The-Quintette-plays-Brickell-at-startup
Earlier this week Alfons recalled Edie Brickell’s ‘Good Times’ video, which was included with the Windows 95 installation (or better yet, it was optional). Apparently the Windows 95 release threw Edie Brickell (literally) in the spotlight, where forums and newsgroups … Continue reading

Mozilla CSS extensions
Over at Asa’s blog, I noticed that most of his bordered CSS-boxes had rounded corners. I was surprised to see that these rounded corners weren’t done by positioning small images: browsing through Asa’s stylesheet, I noticed that one of his … Continue reading

Indiana Jones and the Desert of the Lost Iraq
I have a deep respect for news photographers. Where ever there’s suffering there’s one of them around. No matter what circumstances, their pictures and photos always say a lot more than thousands of words of CNN and FOX reporters. To … Continue reading

Half-Life returns
Half-Life 2 is on its way, according to the BBC. And according to makers (and so many trailers on the Net) it’s worth the wait: the game is to be shipped the end of September. “We’re confident that we haven’t … Continue reading
