Interesting van, often parked a couple of blocks down from where I live:
I wonder about the reference to the bees – perhaps something to do with this?

On my way to Time Warner Center I noticed a newspaper article about NASA stuck to a hoarding. Closer inspection revealed more newspaper clippings, covered with very precise annotations, apparently referencing some kind of UFO conspiracy. They looked cool against the red wall.

Take care of your spiritual development, your A/C and refrigeration needs from just one source. (Take a close look at the door of the van.) So it was late on a Sunday evening, working at the ITP lab as usual. It was the last night of the New York Blipfestival (a four day festival of video-game inspired music & video), which I was likely to miss. At this point, Rui said something like “Why the **** are we in New […] Nik, my charming & jetsetting girlfriend, has arrived in New York! It’s so nice to see her here, after two months apart. Not much of a shock for her: my furniture, appliances, etc. are all the same ones I had in Tokyo, so it was easy for her to settle in.

Visit to the Wired Nextfest
I went to see the Wired Nextfest in New York, a tradeshow/exhibition focused around technology and the future.
Frankly, I found it a bit disturbing. The vision of the future presented is very much technology for its own sake, dominated by large corporations, and with a strong militaristic streak. There is no real attempt to […]
