Two days ago, a few minutes before the end of April Fools day, the lovely Sterre was born! Hans and Lobke are very proud of their Rock Chick daughter, and so are we!

Reader (and mother of mini-portable Oda!) An Vermeire cleverly noticed that a certain pattern seems to emerge in de portables’ choice of baby names… “That leaves you five more to go” she says :-)

P Pita
O Otis, Oda
R Ramona
T
A
B
L
E
S Sterre

Name suggestions (male and female) to fill the gaps are welcome!

Reader and fan Bramus sent us a mysterious e-mail telling us to have a listen to Kate Nash’s “The Nicest Thing”. Upon hearing her first guitarstrums, the message Bramus wanted to deliver became instantaneously clear: miss Nash obviously finds inspiration in de portables’ oeuvre!

Let’s see how good YOU know your idols: who can tell which portables song our beloved Kate based her “Nicest Thing” on?

Max Turnheim just presented his diploma presentation.

“Topless is more / Computer generated house in R3″ Dec. 13, 2007 10:30 AM at E.S.A. Room A

This project is generated by the use of a set of simple procedures. The first one is the genetically driven placement of equipments and furniture elements avoiding overlaps and using path lengths to evaluate individual fitness.

Once these elements have obtained their actual position and rotation, they are represented as point clouds. A Voronoi tessellation is then applied to those coordinates. The only ridges displayed are the ones separating two rooms.

All very nice Max. To everyone else: make your own art-fart “Topless is More” project, give the “project” an appropriate art-fart description and win a blowjob to wio. Giving not receiving boys! Max is our winner of today :-)

Thanks vincent for the tip :-)
