Peter Callesen creates the most beautiful pieces of art using a regular piece of paper.

This is truly Impressive stuff.  I have not much to say about this other than “go visit the site”

    Here she is, comfortably sitting in her chair, smiling at me.
Eyes wide open, unknowing what to look at first, awaiting the next bite with great anticipation.
Wide open mouth, welcoming the approaching spoon, her small arms and legs nervously moving from anticipation.
New sensations to enjoy, the taste of carrots, the structure of mashed potatoes.
Struggling to keep the moist substance in her mouth and, most of the time, succeeding in swallowing it.

    Here I am, enjoying this father/daughter moment in its purest form, astounded by the fact that the first, non milk, meal is going so well.
But most of all, enjoying the warmth that is shining off her, trough her eyes, unaware of the world we live in today and feeling truly the luckiest person alive.

While searching for other spherical subwoofers available I stumbled upon Everything but the box, a high end speaker manufacturer that specializes in alternative shapes.

their Sputnik subwoofer is an amazing piece of work. It’s looks are similar to my home made OrbSub but obviously it’s more polished.. and so it should be at a price of $2,950.

Instead of trying to create a stable stand for it, they decided to suspend it from the ceiling. Making it less suitable for home use, unless You are willing to drill holes in your ceiling.

Personally I do not like the three ‘thingies’, they distract you from the natural beauty of this sub.

If anyone cares, OrbSub was once on eBay, but around Christmas nobody seemed to care, or could it have been my $2000 pricetag?

a few comparisons

• OrbSub features a 8 inch driver that handles 150 Watts, Sputnik has a12 inch driver that apparently can handle up to 1000 Watts. I can’t find any info on the size, I can’t even find it on the EBTB site yet..
• OrbSub is a 42cm sphere, Sputnik looks slightly bigger.
• OrbSub has the cutest solid bronze spikes that make it look more like the original sputnik

today rezenerate celebrates it’s first birthday. It started off as a regular blogger site that was called “diy: design it yourself”, with a default theme. That theme went trough some changes and the name changed to rezenerate.

And now, exactly one year later, it’s in an hosted environment running on Wordpress, but again with a default theme. Again, this theme will (hopefully) not be here for long.

In a impulsive move, I decided to migrate to Wordpress.

So currently you will see the default wordpress theme, but all the content that was previously entered using blogger is available here. (thank you for the import feature)

I’m working on a new theme that is more appropriate for rezenerate, but as long as this is not finished we are stuck with the current one.

the pictures i took myself on this blog all look horrible.
I was never really happy with them.

I was using a Minolta Dimage Z1, a reasonably good camera, but it does not perform well when the light conditions are not optimal, which they never are.

enter the Canon EOS 400D, an ‘entry’ level reflex camera.
I played with it for about 10 minutes and this is the result.

No special settings, just aimed and fired.

And as an added bonus, this is something my partner is interested in too.
our first mutual hobby.
