The Bubble Project

I really like this one. Okay maybe I'm way too late posting this but still I'm sure there still people out there who haven't seen it before. This is a project of this guy Ji Lee who started to put this empty text balloons on adds. After some time he came back to see what people might have written on them, and suprrisingly everybody wrote down this funny stuff or political critisism. The project grew and became the Bubble Project for people all over the world. Go to http://www.thebubbleproject.com/ and maybe even download your own bubble to get guerrilla all over the place.

Like a BUS

Fuck them stingy bastards

So okay I normally don't blog about my personal experiences (except if they are funny and contain pictures) but there is now just something I need to share with somebody and the world has THE RIGHT TO KNOW. As many of you, or only you (I don't know who is going to read this), know is that Dutch people aren't particularly famous about their money spending, more famous they are when it comes to their money KEEPING. So I work in this bar/cafe, doesn't matter, but we have lots of people comming out of their work and drink some beers with their colleagues before driving/bicycling home. Sounds like fun, yes it is. Well there are many businessmen so it's up to the individual to decide whether you like these kind of people or not. Often they give farewell parties because big companies have often people leaving. So last night I had to work in the cafe/bar whatever, and there was again this farewell party. everything was going great, they got wait pretty good as I can say so myself, and at the end of the night after working my ass of, the bill came. It was around 700 euro's, so the man sad "hmm well you know what, make it 715!". Okay wasn't much tip in the first place but you know, I'm not a complainer, that's just not who I am. Until now I guess. So I thanked the man but told him we couldn't set the tip on the bill, our cash register doesn't work that way (I don't know why, maybe something dutch), so he sad " well that's a pity, because now I can't declare the tip."

And he left.

Arthur C Clarke predicting the future in 1964

A pretty accurate prediction of today's communication system, I think. It made me think of McLuhans Global Village

O Lieb, solang du lieben kannst!

O lieb, solang du lieben kannst!
O lieb, solang du lieben magst!
Die Stunde kommt, die Stunde kommt,
Wo du an Gräbern stehst und klagst!

Und sorge, daß dein Herze glüht
Und Liebe hegt und Liebe trägt,
Solang ihm noch ein ander Herz
In Liebe warm entgegenschlägt!

Und wer dir seine Brust erschließt,
O tu ihm, was du kannst, zulieb!
Und mach ihm jede Stunde froh,
Und mach ihm keine Stunde trüb!

Und hüte deine Zunge wohl,
Bald ist ein böses Wort gesagt!
O Gott, es war nicht bös gemeint, -
Der andre aber geht und klagt.

O lieb, solang du lieben kannst!
O lieb, solang du lieben magst!
Die Stunde kommt, die Stunde kommt,
Wo du an Gräbern stehst und klagst!

Dann kniest du nieder an der Gruft
Und birgst die Augen, trüb und naß,
- Sie sehn den andern nimmermehr -
Ins lange, feuchte Kirchhofsgras.

Und sprichst: O schau auf mich herab,
Der hier an deinem Grabe weint!
Vergib, daß ich gekränkt dich hab!
O Gott, es war nicht bös gemeint!

Er aber sieht und hört dich nicht,
Kommt nicht, daß du ihn froh umfängst;
Der Mund, der oft dich küßte, spricht
Nie wieder: Ich vergab dir längst!

Er tat’s, vergab dir lange schon,
Doch manche heiße Träne fiel
Um dich und um dein herbes Wort -
Doch still - er ruht, er ist am Ziel!

O lieb, solang du lieben kannst!
O lieb, solang du lieben magst!
Die Stunde kommt, die Stunde kommt,
Wo du an Gräbern stehst und klagst!

Ferdinand Freiligrath, 1849

The Codes of Gender

Just found this documentary via a friend of mine. It's about how advertisement is based on our cultural believes and moralities, and how we define what gender is, when we find a woman feminine and a male masculine. As Jhally concludes in the end of the film:

"All images are authored by someone, and it is up to us whether we participate passively in the world that is created for us by meekly excepting the ideas behind them and reinforcing them trough our silence of whether we choose to engage the world, actively, by recognizing what is happening and not reinforce it. Question it, point out how strange normality can actually be."

The invisible bookshelf

Ok, maybe you've already read about it but if you haven't than now is the time, the invisible bookshelf. I'm still deciding if I would like to have one above my bed (in a small room like mine Í want one to many things...) but I wouldn't hide the idea from anyone else!

Found it here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Invisible-Book-Shelf/

Also take a look at the reactions, you get a better idea of how it should look like.

Planthair

Still bored after reading my blog? IMPOSSIBLE. But if you really want something creative to do on your lazy Sunday afternoon you could make these pots, or order them at GOOD in Kazakhstan. I don't have a printer so can't make them pots today but if I had one I WOULD (if I wasn't this tired like I am now).

Budget cuts in Dutch arts & culture

 

The dutch government is going to cut down the arts and culture budget, for example taking the 6% tax that is on tickets for festivals and other cultural events up to 19%. Last night there was a protest march in The Hague but I don't think it will help in any way. Above an infographic of Mediamatics about the costs that arts give in relationship to other things we Dutch (well, the government) like to spend our money at.

De Ambachtsmarkt in Soest

Went to our annual market today, awfully busy but nice to see all the people with the traditional Dutch clothes on. It was all about the old dutch craft work.  Even got to see the famous dutch klompendans! Hard to imagine, but the wooden shoes are pretty handy.

Recycle : )

Natuurlijk gooien wij niks weg en recycelen we alles wat we tegenkomen. bijna alles. Pak een oude armband en naai er een leuk stofje omheen, voor als je niks te doen hebt op de zondagmiddag.
