Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I like communication, art, paper, painting and concepts. The ideal combination for doing Mail-Art. Worked with rubberstamps as a child and started sending out letters as soon as I could write. Discovered that it was called mail-art in 1980. Have been discovering ever since and in the last years also promoting this free cultural exchange.

    Thanks for putting the video up Ruud, I struggled against Internet dropouts for three hours last night trying to upload it.
    I have a question:
    What is the best management policy with my laptop battery? Do I keep it plugged into the mains whilst I am using the computer or should I run it from the battery until the battery is almost empty and then plug it in?

  • Rod Summers

    Woah! I just made a terrible mistake! Purely by accident I clicked on Sign Out and for ten minutes there I was out of the union! It means I lost all my vids and pictures and won't be able to replace them until I'm back home... that was a heavy experience!

  • Judy Skolnick

    Hi Ruud, I hope you are doing a little better now. I have flowers for you.
  • Rod Summers / VEC

    Thanks Ruud, I was wondering what should become of the blog. It was a satisfying thing to do and I have become quite addicted to putting the photos up each day, I shall miss it. I have put your name at the top of the list of people who will get a CD of photos. You are not the first person to suggest it would make a book but right now I have to prepare for two exhibitions, one in Reykjavik and one here in Maastricht at the Bonnefanten Museum.

    Are you recovering from your family tradgedy? I must go up to Meerlo (Limburg's Meerlo) and see how they are getting along with life.

    My best wishes and greeting and thanks for letting me spill myself all over the IUOMA.

  • Carla Cryptic

    Cara Ruud, min vän, amigo - my heart is still holding you and your family. I was wondering if you have a picture or pictures of Jos (maybe alone, maybe together with you, when you were kids or as recently as you might have a photo) which you would share with us? When and if you have the time and the inclination - no hurry. Ruud>>

    Also, I wanted to tell you that the letter you sent to me in February just today arrived! That's really slow, like the letter I sent to Hong In Young in Korea which took 3 weeks longer than another I sent to AnticHam just a day earlier. Sometimes the postal system, as much as I love and depend upon it, is mystifying! :)

    Thanks so much for the stamp sheets and the big TAM sticker!!! We had fun with Obamicons, didn't we? :)

    I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies. I lost my Aunt this year to cancer.
  • El Taller de Zenon

    Hello Ruud, I had sent you our new call (Artistamps Sheets) for your blog, but it seems that it has not arrived...
    I have also sent flowers to your brother, I wait that at least those they have arrived well.
    It seems to have something unlucky with us, your envelope neither arrived never at El Taller de Zenon...
  • Peter Kupas

    hey Ruud, thanks for befriending! :)

    Der Ruud, Greetings.

    Just sent a thing. Had to DELEATE a Whole Paragraph,
    due to the "RULE", of No More than 2000 "CHARACHATERS",
    but can understand thee limitations of the Thing. Hope your
    Brother goes to Heaven. I lost My only Brother, when He
    was 21, & I was 25. All Gods Love to you.

    Sincerely, Doo Da Higgins
