I made a site for travelers.
The search of locations on this site is based on GPS coordinates: longitude and latitude. You indicate where you want to stay by double clicking on the map (or dragging the marker) and the system will tell you what is nearby. You even get a street view, if available, thanks to Google Maps.



It's a site for traveler friends. Here you can find places to stay, eat, drink or see, which other travelers find worthwhile and were kind enough to leave this information on the site.

I hope you will find the time to insert some of your favorite spots.

I found some stuff from the past, 1989, my graduation vhs videos for Art and Technology and a certificate of proof that these videos were shown in the student competition of the Holland Animation Film Festival. I did't win anything by the way.
Before I lose these 'gems' again, I digitized them and they can be seen here:



I don't think anybody is waiting to see them, except maybe for Erik.

Paul Lamb sent me a cd of his band Burnt Noodle. A real gem. Very nice 1969 improvisations, based on well composed songs. Most tracks start with a song and ends in a long improv. Listen to it. I can hear influences of Jimi Hendrix (Electric Ladyland), Amon Düül II, Doctor John the Night Tripper and Ginger Baker's Air Force.
There are even videos on YouTube: Jim Meets the Space Aliens and Day by Day.

I found this between my old video tapes.
'The sun does rise' and 'Amor' at 'Later with Jools Holland'.
I don't now which year, but probably 1994.

Tijdens mijn vakantie ontving ik een email van vriend Peter. Hij was in een koffiezaak de krant aan het lezen waarin een artikel stond over de heruitgave van 'Anthology of Dutch Electronic Tape Music'. In dat artikel werd een stukje uit deze blog (vertaald) geciteerd.
Hij stuurde deze foto, gemaakt met zijn iphone:



Gelukkig had vriend Theo de krant nog ergens thuis liggen en kon me een scan sturen van het hele artikel. Klik hierboven op het kiekje voor de scan. Of lees de on-line versie op de site van de schrijver Frits van der Waa .

Ik had de officiële cd's al gekocht tijdens de presentatie daarvan in het Bimhuis. Zou u ook moeten doen, bij Basta: www.bastamusic.com.
