🎥 Little Women (2019) ★★★
Excellent acting by Saoirse Ronan. The intertwined storylines with lots of flashbacks made it all a bit too artificial to my taste though.

Dirty Sanchez is the best song on Iggy Pop’s Free, though the lyrics seem to suggest otherwise
”This online porn is drivin’ me nuts. Try to implicate desires. That are not my desires. Just because I like big tits. Doesn’t mean I like big dicks.”
🦔🌱(This one is for @macgenie 😀) New footage from the hedgehog cam in our garden. The little creature seems to feel right at home in the new hedgehog house! Hopefully it’s also good enough to function as a hibernation nest this winter. 🤞🏻

Homemade stroopwafels !
”Where’s that bee and where’s that honey? Where’s my God and where’s my money. Unreal values, crass distortion. Unwed mothers need abortion. Kind of brings to mind ol’ young King Tut (He did it now). Tried to make it real — compared to what?!”

The older I get, the more I am affected by the daylight-saving time changes. A few weeks later, I still feel out of sync with my circadian rhythm…
🦔 📹🌱 First test with the hedgehog surveillance cam in our backyard turned out to be successful.

Pole - Fading
”Inspired by his mother’s Alzheimer’s, the German ambient-dub musician crafts a masterfully melancholy lament that takes his signature crackle and pop into unsettling new terrain.”
This is getting out of control…
🌱🦔 First prototype of my weather proof hedgehog surveillance cam is almost ready to be installed in our garden. The recording part is working well, the infrared motion sensor seems to behave a bit unpredictable. I wonder if it’s something with the code or hardware related.

❤️ Exploring the Dutch Green Heart landscape through Google Earth Studio.
🎥 The Trial of the Chicago 7 ★★★★
Aaron Sorkin at his best as a screenplay writer. The real events and trial were restructured to make a convincing story (lots of flashbacks and flash forwards). Also perfectly timed, with all protest movements and upcoming elections in mind…
🎥 Film Ist (1997) ★★★★★
Gustav Deutsch explores the essence of film in a multitude of ways. I vividly remember experiencing the installation version during the International Film Festival Rotterdam.
Reconnecting with Max/MSP while getting into the fine art of campanology for an upcoming project on bells.
Kris Provoost captures "immense density" of Hong Kong's housing
Stunning photography.
When one thinks of Gilles Deleuze, Stoicism might not be the first thing that comes to mind.
Indeed. The Logic of Sense is now definitely one of the first books on my reading list.
Stanford materials scientists borrow solar panel tech to create new ultrahigh-res OLED display
Repurposed solar panel research could be the foundation for a new ultrahigh-resolution microdisplay. The OLED display would feature (…) more than 10,000 pixels per inch.
🎥 Over the Moon (2020) ★★
The film started as My Neighbor Totoro, then quickly transformed in a Alice in Wonderland-like trip, with not so subtle hints of Wreck it Ralph, Inside Out, Frozen 1 (and 2). And if that wasn’t enough: even some creepy cameos by a couple of Angry Birds
🎵 My week in Music (week #43 2020)
Sault, Dinosaur Jr., Actress, Jefferson Airplane, Bernard Herrmann, Roberta Flack & Donna Hathaway, Joachim Van den Hove… I knew I had a broad musical taste, but this past week was quite extreme in this regard.
🎵 My week in music (week #42 2020)
Swell - 41 is still one of my favourite albums by one of my favourite bands of the 90s. The combination of field recording, spoken word and a very recognisable indie sound had a profound effect on me at the time.
🎥 Burn After Reading (2008) ★★★ ½
CIA Supervisor: Jesus Fucking Christ. What did we learn, Palmer? Palmer: I don’t know sir. CIA Supervisor: I don’t fucking know either. I guess we learned not to do it again. I’m fucked if I know what we did. Palmer: Yes sir, it’s hard to say.
Love working on these little side projects in the evening. Motion triggered Raspberry Pi Hedgehog surveillance camera for in our garden in the making 🌱📷🦔

I was amazed by the recording (and / or mastering) quality of Ella: The Lost Berlin Tapes (Live). Never heard this quality before from the 60s.
