While we were in Barcelona, we bought this painting/lightbox by mj&lee @ Base Elements. It's urban/street art, painted on a found lightbox, so it has some bruises and cracks, which for me adds to its charm.
It got delivered today by DHL with a busted light, and after some #$&%@^!!, RE & FWD mailing with Robert Burt, who owns the place, we got the electricity finally working.
So, now we just need to get a proper wire with an on/off switch and drill a hole in one of the walls to hang it. Also, have to figure out how to avoid future cracks. Suggestions are welcome, btw.

Last night we returned home after a week of sun and + 25° C in Barcelona.
Besides the flying, which I just don't like all that much, we had a wonderful time in Barcelona.
Despite all the warnings, we didn't get robbed, even though we walked an average of 15K a day through some of the neighbourhoods, like L'Eixample, Gotic, La Raval, Gracia and Barceloneta.
Also enjoyed some classic Catalan coques de recapte @ L'Antic Bocoi del Gotic, but also noticed an odd lack of english speaking people in shops and restaurants/cafes.
The hotel, Evenia Rossello (****) was in fact reasonably ok. Location is central and rooms are rather big. But 7 days of the same breakfast was long enough. No complains though.
Also, Estrella isn't all that bad.
Photos will be uploaded to flickr later this week.

The alarm was set at 5 am, tram to Central Station at 6:10 am. Bus to Brussels Airport at 7 and flight left at 9:45.
Around 12:15 we arrived at Barcelona Airport and around 13:30 we got delivered at the hotel. Rooms are ok, wired ADSL is available and there is a loud humming airconditioning.
After a 13K walk around Barcelona, bed was a necessity.
First impressions are positive, people are friendly, city isn't too crowded but I haven't tasted Estrella yet. It might change everything.

It's almost 6:43 am on a sunday morning. There is the sound of the fridge, and also the humming of the fan in my notebook. This is as quiet as it gets in this modern urban life, even the nearby highway is silent like it's 1973 again. It's is almost disturbing.

An update regarding to Borgerhart 2008: I was planning to participate, but since I'll be in Barcelona that weekend, I let the organization know I won't be able to make it.
Nevertheless, I urge you to visit the exhibition at De Roma and the ateliers of the artists that do participate.

A few days ago, the hype hit Belgium. Of course, there was hardly any stock, but that's how Apple works: promise a lot, deliver close to nothing, promise even more and still get away with it. I think this says more about us as consumers than it says about the alleged genius behind this all.
It never stops to amaze me that intelligent people instantly transform into a bunch of drooling zombies when you mention the iPhone, even hardcore open source advocates fully embrace it (which is completely proprietary, controlled and wrapped in DRM).
Only if you really enjoy cleaning a greasy finger stained screen every time you want to see what you're touching, I really don't see any point in purchasing an iPhone. I mean, 3G? Push technology? GPS? Wifi? Where is the revolution here? Ah I see, i shouldn't focus on features, i should focus on ease of use.
According to me ease of use is being able to integrate the functionality in my daily life. Well, apparently I am dead wrong, ease of use means being forced into the Apple way of life with iTunes, Mac (I can use Windows too? Wow, this changes everything, where can i buy one? Oh yes, I forgot, there isn't any stock...) and what's more.
Call me old fashioned or cynical, I can't see the value of an iPhone. The features aren't very impressive and the closed source forces me to adapt to their standards, even though those aren't mine. It's almost an religious argument.

We introduce RDFa, which provides a set of HTML attributes to augment visual data with machine-readable hints. We show how to express simple and more complex datasets using RDFa, and in particular how to turn the existing human-visible text and links into machine-readable data without repeating content.

The Distributed Social Network—or DSN—is the idea of bringing together disparate user information easily and interoperably between social services. It’s often used synonymously with ‘Portable Social Network’, which is a term more focused on moving data between services.

This sounds very familiar: Still struggling with social networking
The internet is a network used by us humans to communicate. Therefor, it provides a framework for the social web. And by using some basic web standards, like foaf and/or microformats and also some web functionality like search engines we are building the social web.
It would be a huge step forward if these web standards are being used, making our personal data portable, also making it possible to manage a consistent 'profile' throughout the internet, instead of managing 20+ different profiles.
But here we go again, happily filling out the forms over and over again, sending out invitations to all our contacts, imported from our mailboxes by giving the passwords to this Awesome Social Site, because it is so darn cool to have a growing plant on our profile page.

The economy is slowing down and so what's up with the increasingly pointless me-too social-networking apps getting link love these days on Techmeme? They're cute, but outside of the echo chamber regulars, who really cares? Let's be frank: The world does not need another social news aggregator or online scheduling assistant.
