“Strolling in the Gardens” is the garden festival, in which gardens are transformed into a temporary open-air theater with a very intimate character.
Our folkband played today in a beautiful garden of a nice couple in Amersfoort.
Wall decoration from wood and wool
Cut some different pieces of wood and paint these.
Cut the text in lines, and divide the lines over the surface.
Put a little nail over the outlines of the letters, and use some wool to connect all nails.
Portable Squeeze Server
Update : https://www.henriaanstoot.nl/2022/05/26/portable-logitech-media-server-again/
Below is a picture of my mobile LMS server i used in my car.
I only had radio and a CD player, i’m not a radio man .. folk, pipes and audiobooks
At the time i was working for Dutch Railways, imagine me walking with this blinky leds thingy, though the railway station …
It consisted of a dual port usb charger, a usb hub to power the drive, the rpi wasn’t strong enough. Thumbdrives where small in capacity, so i had to use a spinning disk harddrive.
It was only a raspberry 1, in a case i had designed and lasercutted at Fablab Utrecht.
Now you can get rid of the Usb hub and harddrive using a small but with large capacity sdcards.
I could charge the thing in my car, and when i got home, it would connect to my home wifi network, sync-ed my MP3’s and turn off.
Schematic drawing beer brewing
Made a drawing about the steps involved brewing beer. Made this after following a workshop beer brewing at t’wort wat
Just to have a follow-along sheet .. so i dont forget a step.
UPDATE : Used this to teach others about brewing later on.
For friends, family or colleagues.
See post about NA Brew and BBQ day
Passing places and The Road East.
Did a simple recording on one of our practice sessions.
Two tunes by Fred Morrison.
Fred Morrison was born and raised near Glasgow, but it’s the celebrated Gaelic piping tradition of his father’s native South Uist, in the outer Hebrides, that forms the bedrock of his intensely expressive, uniquely adventurous style.
We’ve been to South Uist in 2022, there are many passing places in the North and on the Isles.
But the tune Passing Places was writting because Fred was commisioned to produce a soundtrack for a film/documentary about the Hebrides.
The tune “The Road East” was written on a car journey from Glasgow to Edinburgh.
Beer Brew process
After my Brew course i made this little drawing to explain the process to others. (Dutch)
Some lager tasting
I don’t drink lager that much any more, but still …
I was wondering which I liked the most of the Dutch Lagers.
Comming from the east of the Netherlands I drank a lot of Grolsch.
But lately I liked the taste of Hertog Jan more.
Welllll .. after tasting these .. still Hertog Jan number 1.
I liked comparing that much, that later we did:
- Sherry
- Brandy
- Rum
- Some foods
But the results came in:
Best
- Hertog Jan
- Palm
- Heineken (unexpected)
Worst
- Jupiler
- Vedett
- Schutters
A mini xmas tree from mini Eppendorf tubes
Colored ink, glue a led light, and patience
Trying Vietnamese Music Instruments
Whenever I see instruments I don’t know, I want to try them.
Doing so, every time, I get better at getting decent sound out of them.
First day beer brew course
Today i started my first day brew brewing course at t’wort wat
After making mediocre beers, by myself .. using beer kits and so on.
I really wanted to make propper beer.
Fresh base ingredients, from the base up.
I wanted to know what i was doing and why..
Update 2022: I’ve made many beers since, together with Monique and Coline.
