The Void -a first note-.

The Void -a first note- . The edge of our existence is sometimes marked by intangible things, like the weight of a lost friendship, invisible but palpable like a heavy sky after a summer rain; a twilight zone between what was and what could have been. This edge, this no-man's land, embraces the moment when you realize that the love you gave was not repaid in the same coin, as if you were writing a letter that was never sent, the words floating in an endless silence. Losing a public transport card may seem like an everyday event, an anecdote for later, but it contains an echo of something bigger: the brief panic of losing your grip on the manageable, a small crisis that holds up a mirror to your inner chaos. And in that mirror you see not only yourself, but also a rupture in the seamless routine of life, a frayed edge where nothing is self-evident. Addiction is a game of contradictions, a dance between desire and aversion, between temporary comfort and the endless abyss it leaves behind. It is the promise of a moment of forgetfulness that transforms into a chain that binds you. The edge here is sharp, a constant reminder of what you have sacrificed and what you will never get back.

Straw.

A simple tube of plastic or paper, designed to guide our drink from glass to mouth – the straw. Everyone uses it with obvious ease, but who stops to think that a straw might have a beginning and an end? Just imagine: there is an entrance and an exit to this little tube, a right end and a wrong end. And yet, as if guided by some secret, invisible instinct, we all put exactly the right end into our drink. How is that possible? This might be a subtle example of how ignorance and evolution go hand in hand.

His dryer.

Every bathroom, no matter how simple or luxurious, seems to be inextricably linked to the presence of a hairdryer, that faithful device that, under her control, fulfils the task of styling, taming and drying her hair so that she can face the day with care and self-confidence. This everyday ritual, in which the hairdryer in her hand seems to become an almost self-evident extension of her own control over her chaotic hairstyle, is a fixed part of her morning routine, as if the device were designed especially for her and her alone, an intimate ally in the daily battle against frizzy locks and damp hair. But in that same bathroom, next to the trusty hairdryer, which clearly rules her domain, the philosophical question arises: if she has her hairdryer, where is his dryer, the side dryer? For where her hairdryer is directed at the external, at the physical and visible, at the surface of her appearance, the hair dryer should be directed at something deeper, something that cannot be seen in the mirror but which he — just as she her hair — must care for, namely his being. It is almost self-evident that, where she has entrusted the care of her hair to her faithful hairdryer, he needs a balanced counterpart, a dryer that can control his existential torments.

Running light.

In today's traffic, the relationship between pedestrians and motorists has increasingly become a matter of technological progress and symbolism. A striking phenomenon in this dynamic is the introduction of the so-called "running light" as a turn signal on modern cars. This new type of turn signal, in which the lights switch on and off sequentially, suggests a fluid, walking movement. But cars drive - they do not "walk". This raises the question whether this technology, intended to make the driver's intentions clearer, is an unintended dig at walking road users, who are increasingly confronted with an infrastructure that seems to marginalize their position.

Somersault.

Starting your day with a somersault? Yes, you read that right! Do you know why? Because it’s awesome! Imagine rolling out of bed, and instead of your usual slow steps towards the coffee, you immediately start with an energetic somersault. Bam! Your body wakes up, your head feels fresh, and you are immediately in a playful, cheerful mood. A somersault is not only fun to do, but also good for your body. You activate your muscles, get a good stretch, and your blood circulation gets going. It’s like a mini workout, but in a super fun way! And honestly, who can’t laugh after a good somersault? You feel like a kid again, that carefree feeling where anything is possible.

Spokes.

It may seem like a wild idea, but what if I told you that a bicycle wheel with fewer spokes spins faster than a wheel full of spokes? This isn’t just a wild guess or a fad; it’s pure physics. The secret lies in air resistance. Every extra bit of surface area that has to cut through the air increases the drag. So, the fewer spokes there are, the easier the wheel slides through the air. This makes a bicycle wheel with fewer spokes not only lighter, but also significantly faster.

Afternoon.

The concept of 'new beginnings' is often associated with the morning. Remember the saying, "The morning has gold in its mouth." However, a lesser highlighted but equally meaningful time for new beginnings is the early evening, especially late afternoon. This time offers unique opportunities that are worth considering as the true start of a day.

Dishwasher.

In today's hectic world, every moment counts. From a socio-economic perspective, time is a valuable resource that we are constantly trying to optimize. Even the everyday activity of doing the dishes requires attention. The traditional cycle - putting the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, cleaning them, putting the clean dishes in the cupboard, taking them out, getting them dirty again, and so on - can be time consuming and inefficient.

Tandem.

In this article, we explore the benefits of riding a tandem bike alone, both front and back. Although traditionally viewed as a two-person activity, our research suggests that solo use of a tandem bicycle may provide unexpected benefits in terms of physical fitness, mental toughness and technical skill. 1. Introduction Tandem bicycles are traditionally associated... Continue Reading →

Stationary windmills as clocks: an innovative use of existing infrastructure This proposal advocates the use of stationary windmills as clocks. By making small adjustments to the length of the vanes, they can be converted into an hour, minute and second hand. This innovative use of existing infrastructure can contribute to sustainability and education. Windmills... Continue Reading →
