Kunstenaarsduo Lucy + Jorge Orta maakt werk dat tot nadenken stemt in het kader van de water-, voedsel- en energietekorten in de wereld. De glassculptuur Bottle Rack (2011) op de Biënnale Kijkduin, gemaakt van glazen waterflessen, een stalen rek en een reddingsboei, is zo'n werk dat deze hedendaagse problematiek op speelse en toegankelijke wijze aanspreekt.
Biënnale Kijkduin 2011: Chemistry - Creating New Worlds
Biennale Kijkduin is een internationale tentoonstelling aan de kust van Kijkduin/Den Haag. De monumentale glas- en lichtkunstwerken worden geplaatst op boulevard, duinen en Deltaplein, waar zij tot leven komen dankzij de wisselende luchten van de Hollandse zeekust.
Met de tentoonstelling Chemistry - Creating New Worlds is de Biënnale Kijkduin opgenomen in de programmering van het 'Internationale Jaar van de Chemie', het jaar 2011 waarin de Verenigde Naties en de Unesco wereldwijd aandacht vragen voor de chemische wetenschap die bijdraagt aan de verbetering van een leefbare, gezonde en duurzame maatschappij.
De openluchttentoonstelling werd op 1 juni 2011 door koningin Beatrix geopend en duurt nog tot en met 26 juni.

I need to stop ordering books from Amazon starting from this Monday (I ordered one over the weekend). I've managed to sort most of them out today and limited them to three shelves. Top shelf - mostly used and want to read, middle shelf - read most of them and might want to read again, bottom shelf - reference only. Oh the sad life of a geek!

ShadowForge87 (or Dave to his friends and family) walked into the Internet Cafe and looked around. His laptop had run out of power and he'd forgotten to bring his power cable, so this place was his only choice if he wanted to get online.
Sitting down at the nearest desk, he entered the login details he'd been given by the pale looking assistent and waited. This could take a while, he thought, considering the computer looked like
something out of the 90s, but within a few seconds he was logged in.
Before he began visiting his usual sites, like BrickLink and Eurobricks, he'd better check to make sure there was nothing running that would track his actions. He was all too aware of the dangers of identity theft and you couldn't be too careful in a place like this.
In the basement of the Internet Cafe, another computer screen flared into life:

The NDI programmers take a traditional weekly lunch at Akbar's Indian Restaurant in Santa Monica. It's gotten to the point that the waitress doesn't even bother handing out menus -- she simply asks, "the usual, right?", and bam, out come half a dozen dishes.
Here, the signature dish that keeps us coming back: Akbar's chicken tikka masala (level 3). Authenticated as Real Chicken Curry by 100% of our British programmers.

German postcard, no. 8 (1-56). Photo: CCC Produktion / Constantin. Guy Madison in Old Shatterhand (Hugo Fregonese, 1964). Caption: "Captain Bradley ist der Anführer eines Siedlertrecks, der nach Westen will." (Captain Bradley leads a group of settlers, who want to go west).
Handsome American leading man Guy Madison (1922-1996) appeared in 85 films, on radio, and television. In the 1940s, he started as a fresh-faced dreamboat. He became a hero to the Baby Boom generation as James Butler Hickock in the television series Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok (1951-1958) . After the Hickok series ended, Madison became a star of the European cinema.
Guy Madison was born in 1922 as Robert Ozell Moseley in Pumpkin Center, California, and was reared in nearby Bakersfield. His father was a machinist on the Santa Fe Railroad. His younger brother, Wayne Mallory, would later become a Western actor too. As a young man Robert worked as a telephone lineman, but entered the Coast Guard at the beginning of the Second World War. While on liberty one weekend in Hollywood in 1944, he reportedly attended a Lux Radio Theatre broadcast and was spotted in the audience by Helen Ainsworth, an assistant to Henry Willson. Willson was the talent agent for producer David O. Selznick at the time. Selznick wanted an unknown sailor to play a small but prominent part in the Home Front morale-booster Since You Went Away (John Cromwell, 1944), and promptly signed Robert Moseley to a contract. Selznick and Willson saw major heartthrob material in the blond, boyishly handsome sailor. They concocted the screen name Guy Madison (the 'guy' girls would like to meet, and Madison from a passing Dolly Madison cake wagon). Later, Willson would do the same for such other handsome film hunks as Rock Hudson (born Roy Scherer), Tab Hunter (Arthur Kelm), and Troy Donahue (Merle Johnson). Madison filmed his three-minute bowling-alley sequence with Jennifer Jones and Robert Walker in Since You Went Away on a weekend pass and returned to duty. The film's release brought an avalanche of fan letters (43,000 pieces) for Madison's lonely, strikingly handsome young sailor, and at war's end he returned to find himself a star-in-the-making. Madison was signed by RKO Pictures in 1946 and began appearing in romantic comedies and such dramas as Till the End of Time (Edward Dmytryk, 1946), starring Dorothy McGuire as a war widow, uncertain whether she should or could make a second start with Madison. Despite an initial woodenness to his acting, Madison grew as a performer, studying and working in theatre. However, his career seemed to evaporate by the end of the 1940s.
Guy Madison was the subject of numerous beefcake photographs while building a film persona. He played leads in a series of programmers, such as the American Civil War film Drums in the Deep South (William Cameron Menzies, 1951), before being cast as legendary U.S. Marshal Wild Bill Hickok in Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok, with Andy Devine as the trusty and funny sidekick Jingles. The show ran on television from 1951 to 1958 and on radio from 1951 to 1956. Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok made Guy Madison a household name and earned him a new crop of fans, especially among children. Soon, Madison's visage began appearing on cereal boxes, toys, and other promotional items. Sixteen feature films were released by Monogram Pictures between 1952 and 1955 that consisted of combined episodes of the series. His popularity as Hickok led to a starring role in the 3-D film The Charge at Feather River (Gordon Douglas, 1953), whose success gave him a new lease on life in Hollywood. He was cast as a tight-lipped action hero in Westerns like The Command (David Butler, 1954) and The Last Frontier (Anthony Mann, 1955) with Victor Mature. He was the executive producer of the Western Reprisal! (George Sherman, 1956) in which he played a half Indian who poses as white.
After the Hickok series ended, Guy Madison found work scarce in the U.S. and travelled to Europe. There he made around 90 films. He first found work in Rome in Peplums like La Schiava di Roma/Slave of Rome (Sergio Grieco, Franco Prosperi, 1961) with Rosanna Podestà , and Rosmunda e Alboino (Carlo Campogalliani, 1961) opposite Jack Palance. He became a popular star of the European cinema after successes as the Karl May Western Old Shatterhand (Hugo Fregonese, 1964) opposite Lex Barker, and made a surprising number of popular Spaghetti Westerns in the mid to late 1960s. These included 7 winchester per un massacre/Payment in Blood (Enzo G. Castellari, 1967) with Edd Byrnes, and I lunghi giorni dell'odio/This Man Can't Die (Gianfranco Baldanello, 1968), with Rik Battaglia. He left Italy in 1970 and temporarily settled in Texas, later returning to Los Angeles. In Hollywood, he appeared mainly in cameo roles, such as in Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood (Michael Winner, 1976). His last film appearance was in Red River (Richard Michaels, 1988) with James Arness and Ty Hardin. But this TV movie didn't compare with the 1948 classic by Howard Hawks on which it was based. Later that year, Madison was in a serious auto accident that damaged his lungs. A variety of health problems limited his work in later years, and he died from emphysema in 1996. He was 74. Guy Madison married his first wife, beautiful and haunted actress Gail Russell, in 1949. Russell's alcoholism helped bring an end to the marriage in 1954. From 1954 till 1964, he was married to model and actress Sheila Connolly, with whom he had four children, Bridget, Dolly, Erin and Robert. His best friend was actor Rory Calhoun who was later named 'godfather' to Madison's eldest daughter Bridget.

“A Microsoft programmer died and he had to decide where he wanted to go Heaven or Hell. He was taken to both the places before getting a chance to select either. An angel took him to a place with a sunny beach, bikini clad girls, volleyball, and rock & roll, where everyone was having a wild time.
"Wow!" he exclaimed. "Heaven is great!"
"Wrong," said the angel. "That was Hell. Want to see Heaven?"
"Sure!" So the angel took him to another place. There, a bunch of people were sitting in a park, playing bingo and feeding dead pigeons.
"This is Heaven?" asked the Windows programmer.
"Yup," said the angel.
"Then I'll take Hell." He was thrown in the hell. He saw himself plunged up to his neck in red-hot guano, with the ghosts of the damned in torment around him.
He cried, "Its cheating, where are the babes? The beach? The Jazz? The volleyball?"
The angel said, "That was the demo version!"

Some of the guys from my office just love playing soccer during lunch-times in nearby Whitmore Square. I was doing papparazzi duty and shooting from behind a tree in the middle of their pitch. This way if the action got too close, I could get a measure of protection by ducking behind the tree trunk.

International Programmers Day
I am actually an hour or so early (my time zone) for this one but tis ok. On Jan 7 International Programmers Day will be recognized. I can't really see much from the web site other than the ability to send an ecard out to your favorite programemmer :). In any case now you know as much as I do about International Programmers Day.

Aah, a strong black coffee and a nice donut just what a programmer needs to get through another bug!
Xmas eve, soldering..:) This is a simple programmer for attiny2313, instructions is here: www.instructables.com/id/Ghetto-Programming:-Getting-star...
8K EEPROM on the left. Arduino pro micro as the programmer. 16 address lines provided by two 595s in the middle. A few control lines and 8 data lines direct from the Arduino. I'll only be writing a few bytes for now.
I'm starting to feel the inclination to get back into electronics hobbyism these days - and on the photography side that means closeup / macro shots will be coming along soon.
The fever hits me now and then to make some LEDs blink, and the way I generally do that is to write software for a microcontroller (MCU) - a tiny, cheap, single-chip computer - to do it.
Why bother? You might well ask. Well! MCUs form the heart of all sorts of nifty circuitry - anything that isn't actually a computer and yet is "computerized", which is pretty much everything, anymore. I plan to make fun simple things like clocks and little games and decorative blinky lights, but stuff like homemade MP3 players, GPS units, simple autonomous robots, and Web-based remote control devices are now well within the reach of hobbyist designers. All you have to do is get specialized circuitry to handle the GPS reception or MP3 decoding or time displaying, then plunk a MCU down to order it around according to directions specified by software you write.
These three circuits pictured are all "programmers", or interface devices that let you send MCU software from the PC where you wrote it to the actual MCU chip. These are all for the PIC family of chips manufactured by Microchip, Inc.
In the upper left, the venerable PIC-1a from 1996, a small-scale-commercial variant of a famous programmer invented in April 1994 by a hobbyist named David Tait. The "Tait Classic" circuit, as it came to be known, was intended only for one kind of PIC MCU, the surprisingly useful 16C84. It had space for a 1024-instruction program and 36 bytes of data RAM. Much, much more powerful MCUs are available these days for less than the old C84 cost, but it was a great little chip. The Tait programmer made hobbyist MCU programming affordable, I believe; until recently the professional-grade tools for it were very pricey by hobbyist terms. The Tait Classic could be built for a few dollars or ordered pre-assembled from a cottage industry sort of shop like I did for, IIRC, about $50.
In the upper right, a cottage-commercial version of the P16Pro40, which is basically a newer and more flexible version of the Tait Classic, able to handle several different chips. I think I got this one in about 2004.
These two both still work, as far as I know, but they connect to the PC through the parallel port - and modern PCs don't often have parallel ports! Certainly the little netbook I use now doesn't. Hence, my decision to buy the programmer in the bottom of the shot, the Pickit 3. It's a USB-based programmer made by Microchip itself, and it has several features the Tait-types don't - plus it's fairly cheap, as things like this now are (about $70 for the "deluxe" version of the Pickit 3).
Nifty, eh?
