It doesn’t take much to notice that this blog has been inactive for a long time. This is a function of many things, not least the rapid influx of different projects all demanding attention at once. I’d like for this to change, however. So today I’m posting about the latent possibilities that can be found in every moment.

For instance, making space to speak with a stranger. Today I debated whether to head straight to work or to stop for a coffee. End up talking to a pro basketball player taking some time off due to an injury. Topics ranged from web design and blog presence to hippie schools to the encroachment of Big Brother, the potential for totalitarian control in the Age of Information, and the implications of nanotechnology. What up Nick George?! Hit me up man.

After showing him the way to the Kalverstraat shopping center, I head towards work via the Spui only to stumble across “Vote With Your Fork”, a picnic on the Spui organized by students to raise awareness about improving food quality through the choices we make at the supermarket. Talked with some friendly people there, and ended up with a recipe for some of the best hummus I have ever had:


Heat the following in a pan:
- oil
- paprika
- chili powder
- cumin
- garlic
After this has heated for a while, add tahini. Heat additionally. Transfer to a blender and add cooked chick peas.

That’s the recipe inasmuch as I understand it. I’ll post again once I’ve made it myself :)

Basically, today I decided to go with a different flow, and it worked out for the better. Do yourself a favor and do the same at some point.
