No place like...

...home. Sometimes you have to make something you feel comfortable with.

Welcome to my home on the nearly infinite web. Since the number of people that surfs on the internet is quite big, the chance that you hit this site by accident is not negligible.

So let me introduce myself. My name is Sander Wildeman. Since I was born (in the Netherlands) the Earth has revolved about 24.75 times around the Sun (and counting).

On this website I present some of the things that I made or did in the past (I still can't figure out how to post things that I made in the future). Furthermore this website is like a playground for me to test some of my (crazy) design ideas. So you may find it somewhat hard to navigate this site at first (it's quite responsive) ;-)

...the USA. Sometimes you have to go abroad.

For my physics master I did an intership at Los Alamos National Laboratories. I kept up a blog (in Dutch) with photos and stories that cover some of my adventures in the USA.

Sometimes you see something you want to capture forever.

Photography

I made a special multi-player photo website to display some of the photos I took. Besides being a photo album the site also shows what you can do with jQuery and a Comet approach (long polling in this case).

High speed colors

Sander Huisman and I captured some spectacular high speed footage of paint droplets on a vibrating drum (see below). The background music was made by Timo Rozendal, so make sure you turn on your speakers!

Sometimes you need the feeling that you are in control.

Occasionally I write a computerprogram to refine my programming skills. More often I write them just because it's fun.

Sometimes you have to make someone happy.

I made some websites for other people as well.
