Lonely peace maker


My imagination is running wild,
am I listening to my inner child?
My energy levels were soaring
yet I missed out scoring.

Instead I was presented a weird fight,
which robbed me much of a good night.
Great expectations went down the drain
and again I feel liking getting insane.

The universe pushes everything into place,
and I cannot at all influence the pace
of any event's evolution,
let alone that of a revolution.

If only I had known
the perils of the unknown.

Exponential growth

During some photoshop explorations, I came across a structure which reminded me a digital storage unit. It's easy to imagine either the central 'square' as actual bit, or the four oval shapes in red. Each of the ovals could have an on/off information (red/green), or even store an entire byte of information in colour coding (black, white, red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple).

I called the structure quadbit, and played with the idea of putting more of them in the same space. 


A simple process of multiplying by four started.




1024 of the same


16 K

64K


1M


It doesn't take long to reach a million units, doubling two dimensions and halving another with each step. We still can do with more examples to embody the idea of exponential growth.

Red sunday blues


When the anger starts to boil,
it's about time to recoil,
have a look at yourself in stillness,
instead of acting out some illness.

First, you might think it's in vain,
because there's still this massive pain,
that tortures you night and day,
and doesn't want to go away.

The pain tells us a story,
it shows us one worry
and another and another one
until one day they're all gone.

Don't hold on, learn to let go, 
step from drowning into the flow.
