I’ve been researching street art and related topics lately, and have come across a range of interesting things people have placed in public spaces. I thought it would be fun (and perhaps enlightening) to collect them here. Each entry follows a similar format, listing what was left, by whom and with what intent, what it [...]
With the attention given to travel lately (Dopplr springs to mind, as well as my own increased flight frequency this year) I thought I’d finally write up my experiences with a jet lag prevention technique called Jet Lag Passport. I was planning my trip to Las Vegas earlier this year when I was approached by [...]
Despite the heat and humidity this evening I got around sorting through a few more photos taken in Florence. Around 50 new ones have been added to the set. You can start at the first new one here. I’d like to treat you to a nice example of serendipity. Here’s a photo I took of [...]
An awesome random phenomenon in Woerden, the Netherlands: Just after moving into his new villa, André van Zuilen noticed the word “dick” on the front of his house. An act of vandalism by a disgruntled construction worker or coincidence*? Original article in Dutch over at AD.nl. Via Edwin. We all know there’s no such thing [...]

Een oude voorspelling zegt dat als alle raven de Tower verlaten het [...]
Please people. Lay off the Dan Brown. I can’t commute without seeing at least one person reading a book of his. If you’re interested in crackpot theories about templars, Jesus and Sangreal – just pick up Holy Blood, Holy Grail (Brown stole borrowed all his Da Vinci Code ‘revelations’ from that book anyway). If you’re [...]
At first I was quite sceptical about the existence of our (The Netherlands’) very own Alien Big Cat, but now, both photos and videos have surfaced. Pantera, a foundation dedicated to the defence of big cats in Europe, have made it their mission to find and capture the alleged puma (which they’ve named ‘Winnie the [...]
This is so cool. For a few days now, police in The Netherlands are hunting down an alleged puma on the Hooge Veluwe, a large natural reserve. To me, being a Fortean, this is a treat. Alien Big Cats is a phenomenon well recorded in Fortean literature where multiple people start seeing a large felid [...]
