Self

Ignoring all other aspects, a huge problem with the communist ideology was probably the loss of the “self”.

Medusa Tower

Ok, i know right now it looks like Medusa had a bad hair (snake) day, complete with flattened snakes. Believe me, I’m working on it.

I love Vray for Sketchup. Ever since I’ve installed the plugin last night I’ve been rendering non-stop and marveling at the remarkable lack of effort needed to achieve nice renderings. and [...]

That’s history for you

The last Hindu monarchy, in Nepal has been abolished and Nepal is now a republic.
It’s the first time in a few thousand years that there’s no more Hindu monarch reigning anywhere in the world.
Think of that!
Other than that, world (and local) news remains mostly grim.
good news, where art thou?
I often wonder if journalists just stay [...]

How Fitting

Over a series of unrelated events today i came to the conclusion that people and things don’t change, only the perception changes. By perception i am referring to both our perception and also the perception of the people/objects that are being perceived. Yes i know objects can’t really “perceive”, but i mean that in a [...]

Mysterious Electives

Back

For Justina.. haha.. not exactly a picture of my face, but yeah. Anyways, no change in my face, just older and fatter. That’s me having an extremely romantic picnic lunch on a wobbly piece of wood in Dinant, somewhere in the south of Belgium with Natsuko, Yoshi, Yu, Eliska and Flora. The last two are [...]

Week in review

Haven’t updated for more than a week, so now i give you two posts because i am not in the mood for any sort of schoolwork. Last week was finally a week where i felt like a proper student after all the idling. Presentations, tutorials, and so on, and then the obligatory mid-week party (last [...]

Omg they’re demolishing the Bok House!

Just to clarify following the last post, i am actually against senseless demolition and development… i just think many people miss the entire point of preservation. In my opinion, it’s not so much the authenticity of the facade or the accuracy of the ornamentation that should be preserved, but the intangible character and the atmosphere [...]
