803 postings

Since I have started this BLOG the number of postings is now 803. That includes this one. When I recently started another Blog I noticed that the ID number of the new site is extreme hign. Also at another blog I saw that Blogger itself has now over 31,000,000 identities on it's platform. So Blogging is booming buisiness.

When I look at the statistics I can only see that the number of visitors decreases. I remeber that Geert de Decker once predicted that in a few years everybody would be doing blogs, but nobody would have time to read all those blogs. Also commenting on the texts and visuals has decreased.

Is this blogging the next step in how our world developes. More individualism, less communication....... Any comments? Or are you all too busy writing your own blog.

Mail-Art from JK Post - USA

The Horror, The Horror, is the title of a work that JK Post sent me in this envelope. Also he included a new stamp-steet for the TAM Rubberstamp Archive.

Jeff Berner & Ben Vautier in Paris

A card from Jef Berner in Paris. He is organizing a special event in his Atelier Berner together with Ben Vautier. Should be interesting....

Mail from Montenegro

A strange surprise in the P.O. Box. This card from Montenegro. No sender-address on the card, so I guess all I can do is publish this on my Blog. Anyone knows who sent this? An interesting detail on this card is the Euro-valuta on the postage-stamp.

Decentralized Networking Congresses - 20 Years

A card from Peter Kuestermann (Germany). A special postagestamp from the Hungarian Postal Office about the 20 year celebration of the DNC (Decentralized Networker Congresses). In 1986 the first congresses took place. Even remember meeting Peter in Miden (Belgium) on the first european DNC. Every 6 years the DNC's took place. So for me the 20 year celebration is a strange number. But that is typical mail-art too. On November 8th 2006 the event will take place in Artpool, Hungary. So if you are in close to Budapest, this is your chance...
