Four days of inertia have come and gone and yesterday I finally got everything moving again. Next to rebooting the computer I have also rebooted my desk and a bit of the surroundings, since Joost has moved out of the studio and the resulting layout was kind of awkward. We like the chairs. The chairs will stay. I got the long awaited 717-piece Lego Mindstorms Robotics Invention System .
Exploration starts tomorrow.
I'll try again next year. It's gay pride weekend in Amsterdam. They are the landmarks in the complicated territory of gay identity. Sooner or later you find yourself more or less related to each of them and that helps you to see where you are and what you stand for - whether you're gay or not. I was there in 1998 and it fulfilled every bit the promise of a club for people who don't relate to the regular gay club crowd.
