Best of Einaudi (lying down)

Music by Ludovico Einaudi, pianist Jeroen van Veen.
And you could lie down in the big “Werkspoorkathedraal” in Utrecht.

Ludovico Maria Enrico Einaudi (Italian: born 23 November 1955) is an Italian pianist and composer. Trained at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, Einaudi began his career as a classical composer, later incorporating other styles and genres such as pop, rock, folk, and world music.

Einaudi has composed the scores for a number of films and television productions, including This Is England, The Intouchables, I’m Still Here, the TV miniseries Doctor Zhivago, and Acquario (1996), Nomadland and The Father.

He has also released a number of solo albums for piano and other instruments, notably I Giorni in 2001, Nightbook in 2009, and In a Time Lapse in 2013.

Coline plays some of Einaudi on keyboard, and we play I Giorni with our Folkband.

Looking for the building in Revenge of the Ninja

When I was young I studied several Martial Arts.
Ninjutsu was one of them.

( Monique had a workshop from Masaaki “okay lets play” Hatsumi )

One of the two places i studied Ninpo

Ninjutsu (忍術), sometimes used interchangeably with the modern term ninpō (忍法), is the martial art strategy and tactics practised by the ninja.

I alway liked the movie “Revenge of the Ninja”.
I like Sho Kosugi

Stabilise and speedup movie – Death road Bolivia

This year we spend our vacation in Peru and Bolivia with Arja. (20160606-20160704)

We did the Death road in Bolvia, wellll Arja and me. Coline fell ill the day before.

I tried to get a sense of what it was using a action cam mounted on my helmet and speeding it up in afterprocessing.
Shamefully i have to admit, that most of the times my camera was recording my frontwheel ..

To post: script/program to create this effect

This movie has been stabilized and sped up.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yungas_Road for more information.

Starting at 4700 meters and on the good parts going down @70km/h. Then the dangerous parts started. Feeling like ‘offroad’ narrow corners, where you can expect to see a minivan coming around the corner anytime. Steep drops without barriers. Water and land slides.

Jumanji Screen

Vincent showed me a very beautiful “pruts” he made.
It was the Boardgame from Jumanji.
He asked someone from work to write software for the center display.

I really liked the idea, so i made my own version.

I’ve cleaned-up the code and my version is here.

The second page should play a mp3 sound sample, but there is a autoplay issue with some browsers. (I have fixed this on other projects, i will fix this later.

Staircase pictures

Maybe you also have a white area to fill, here is a suggestion.

For years we collected picture frames, weird and ugly.
We wanted to have a collection of images in our staircase, to fill the white area.
The images are all something we like, have interest in or are personal.

It needed to be on 3 walls, so here was my first design.
