Prof. Gunther von Hagens' Koerperwelten

I finally got the chance to visit theKoerperweltenexhibition and I can recommend it highly. There’s nothing quite like it. Wandering among "plastinated" corpses and organs gives you a completely new perspective on the human body. Not to mention the fact I never thought that, one day, I would stick my head inside a human body and look out through the navel.

Ananova: Judge says dead body exhibition can go on

Ironic news item of the day: a Butcher hascomplained to authoritiesabout the Koerperwelten exhibition here in Brussels because the presence of the bodies of two pregnant women, with their unborn children, was an attack on his private and family life and on butchers in general. His complaint was, of course, rejected.And while I have the chance once again: Go and seethe exhibitionnow! Really!

The Times: Lecturer takes hammer to corpse exhibit

The koerperwelten exhibition is definitelynot having a great startin the UK. It was present for several months in Brussels and was never subject to such violence and protest. I always imagined the UK as more open-minded than Belgium, maybe I was wrong.

Jamie Lidell Biography - Warp

And, for the few who don’t know this yet, make sure you’re on the Grand’Place in Brussels tonight at 21:00.Jamie Lidell,Bogdan RaczinskyandLuke Vibertwill be performing live and for free. I never expected to see an electronic music event organised by the city, and on the grand’place too! Amazing.

Brussels - The Grand'Place

Oh yeah, the concerts last night on the Grand’Place were well worth it. I didn’t get into Luke Vibert too much, his act felt more like background music - due the usual problems with the live music laptop brigade I guess. On the other hand, Jamie Lidell entertained us with some pretty hardcore barrages of sound and his typical vocal prowess. Bogdan Raczinsky took it one step further with a bass-heavy energy-laden gig that had a good part of the crowd going pretty crazy. And all this on one ofEurope’s architectural jewels, unbelievable! I sincerely hope this isn’t a one-off. My only gripe would be that they could have at least featured one Belgian act, they should be promoting local talent.

New Year Free Party

I tend to keep my vinyl-spinning antics separate from what gets posted here but I got several tellings-off the last time an event of this type took place and I didn’t warn anybody. So, for all those people (and anyone else that needs their bass fix): I’ll be spinning at the Boups New Year’s Eve free party this Friday. To find out the location, call one of the numbers onthe flyerafter 22:00. There will be 2 rooms, one playing breaks, electro, acid, etc, the other playing drum and bass. It’s within walking distance of the city center, be there at midnight…

Amazon DevCon - Rael Dornfest

Several well-known technologists and software developers were invited to an internal conference for the development staff at amazon.com headquarters this week. Most corporations would close an event like this to outsiders, which is what Amazon has done also. The major difference being that they’ve beenblogging highlights of the talks to the rest of the worldvia the Amazon Web Services Blog. They’re basically killing two birds with one stone: scoring top marks for openness and simultaneously showing potential recruits the kind of perks that come with working there. They “get it” and also attract people who “get it”.
