Candy Crush lady

The lady is always already on the train when I board. She has an iPad on her lap. Earbuds in her ears. She plays Candy Crush. Always. The full hour the trip takes.

Why Cats like boxes

I caught our cat jumping in one of the boxes under my desk. Why do cats do this?

One theory is that they feel safe in a box. But just the image of a square on the ground seems to also attract them.

All recent articles on the topic seem to refer to the same study.

More research is required.

Oh, they jump in other boxes and crates, too.

Hans Aarsman on Garry Winogrand’s Rattle

Hans Aarsman wrote about Garry Winogrand, and also created a fantastic, expressionistic monologue about the chaos he recognizes in his photographic works.

You can download the monologue on this page in English and Dutch. The links are sort of hidden. Hoover the mouse under the text “ARCHIEF”, where you see a large faint “X”. I think the original thumbnail has disappeared. The monologue is called Ruis in Dutch and Rattle in English. Rattle, I can imagine, is the noise in the streets, but I do not understand Ruis (noise, static). The monologue reads like a train-of-thought rattle. Very much how like Winogrand talked in a very Rattly manner.

Listen to this except:

You can find the full interview here.
