Writersrecommendations goes Alpha

Monday, April 27th, 2009

A side project of mine that I’ve wanted to do for over a year, has just now gone alpha. That means it’s online, but still being developed, so not completely finished.

Writersrecommendations.com is a site where you can find books recommended by your favourite authors. There are still lots of features that need to be added, and there’s an immense ammount of data to find and enter. But its there and the big stuff works. You can already register, and help out by submitting information. I’ll be spending a lot of time in the library this summer, looking for blurbs.

Petunia spotted in mechanical engineering magazine!

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Sam Brubaker was kind enough to send me a scan of this April’s copy of Mechanical Engineering magazine. Shapeways once again made the news, and the magazine put Petunia on the page rather prominently. Once again there’s proof that giving away things is cool!

Photos of my oil paintings published online

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Right after I finished my stint at the art academy in 1999, I spent a few years in my studio working on a first series of oil paintings. A number of them have been sold in the meantime, but I still have a few. Since the light was quite nice in my appartment today I decided to take some photos, and put them here on my website.

You can view the paintings here.

Four albums released on Jamedo

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

A while ago I put a selection of my old music recordings online at alienhelpdesk.com as mp3’s. Since quite a few people seem to enjoy the tracks I decided to upload all my albums to Jamendo.com. So now the songs can be downloaded more easily as well.

Naturally the license is also Creative Commons By 3.0 just like everything on this website. That means that you can use the tracks for whatever you want, as long as you give me credit for creating them.
