I suppose the answer to that question is obvious but not so easy to realise: during a retreat. But still, that is what I did. Last week I spend 6 days meditating while at the same time putting my brand new wearable and software platform to the test. What is it all about? For those […]

calendar perforation
Being able to tear of pages is an important part of the calendar. So I’ve been investigating the possibilities. At first I hoped the printer, Tiggelman, would just do it for me. Alas their perforation turned out to be too vulnerable. The nice people at St Joost art academy and office supplies Benoist gave me […]
test prints
Today I went to make test prints and the results look very promising. The people at Tiggelman repro were very helpful. They suggested I use a paper called Reviva which has a nice newspaper look. The lines I use in my design are only 0.4 pixels thick and the lighter ones were barely visible when […]

After installing the XCTU software with Thijs a few months back I had forgotten quite a lot of his private class “introduction to Xbee”. From his instructions I ordered 7 Xbee antenna’s and one Xbee explorer […]
non-woven wearable

It looked very nice but wasn’t very practical. Paper folds and crumbles easily. The felt on the face gets dirty and as it was glued […]
analogue input
Today I did a little test using analogue input for my LED. I build my third RBBB today and wanted to take the LED output a little further. For my breathing device it will have to respond to the analogue input of breathing. So I emulated that with a light sensor. Covering the sensor less […]
Testing 1, 2, 3…
Thursday I did it test with all my sensors for 24 hours. It went rather well but there art two main points of attention. 1. The stealth cam. It has limited capabilities in storage capacity and battery capacity. When I set the resolution to low it should be able to hold 350 pictures. This is […]
