Rocoto Red flower

Twan — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 20:02:17 +0000

Again, long time no post..

Just very busy busy with work and thesis. But still going ok here. And to make it up, a nice purple flower from the Rocoto Red. I grow this plant for the first year and it’s a very beautiful plant. The fruit from this plant is also supposed to be very tasty so.. hopfully this flower will become a juicy chilli

Finally Chile pictures online

Last week I was browsing through my picture book which I made from my trip to Chile in 2007 and realized that I didn’t put the pictures online yet.

So, here they are (click on them to go to the album page):

Blurry night view at the Rhine in Basel

About 2 weeks ago I went for a quick walk along the Rhine, I took my camera with with the 50mm prime and tried to make some pictures. On the camera screen they looked promising however the big versions are a bit blurry. Anyway, I think they give a nice impression of the Rhine close to where I live.

See the gallery for all the pictures

Shocking news from Basel

Twan — Tue, 05 May 2009 05:42:34 +0000

Last night I woke up around 3.40 because my bed was shaking. Now is my bed not that stable so it does move when you turn around, but this felt a bit different. It couldn’t have been one of my housemates pulling a prank because they were not at home, so.. I thought.. it must have been an earthquake then and as I saw this morning I was right:
German original version: News item from SF
Translated version by Google Translate(to English) News item from SF

The earthquake originated in Germany and was noticable throughout Switzerland. Ok, off to work!

First run in Basel

Twan — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 18:49:21 +0000

Today I got back from work and thought, hey.. I really should start running again! Last time was more than a month ago (and still in Eindhoven). I had a look on Google maps but couldn’t really find something interesting so just jumped in my running outfit and started. To not get not too enthusiastic after such a while of doing nothing I thought 5km would be nice and knew which round would be this distance(give or take). The sun was shining, and there was a nice breeze so perfect weather.

This is the round I did: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2756295

Mr Peter Penis Pepper Photoshoot

Today I took the nice and ripe penis pepper off the plant and did a photo shoot. I think this is the winner:

Ripe led grown peter penis chili pepper

Twan — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:11:36 +0000

And I proudly present to you, my first ripe completely LED grown chili! The peter penis shape is not as I hoped for but nevertheless I think this is a cool one.

Doctor!? My peter penis starts to get red, what does that mean?

Twan — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 09:25:02 +0000

Doctor: Well, that means that it is possible to grow chilli under LED light my son!

Doctor: Although, I have to say, this is one strange looking penis you’ve got there

Second real LED grown chili pepper (update)

I guess these peter penis peppers really like my leds, the first one didn’t grow that much in length anymore but got a bit thicker, and the small second one you saw on earlier pics, well, look for yourself!

The ajoema plant is also going pretty good. It started making flower buds a while back but none got a real flower. I guess it’s not ready yet. But, I’m not in a hurry and just let it do its thing!

First real LED grown chili pepper (update)

So look at that, about a week further and it is starting to look like a chili!

And some others are starting to grow as well.
