Miscellanea:
In 2007 a Festschrift for me appeared, by which I feel very honoured, edited by Eric A. Cator, Geurt Jongbloed, Cor Kraaikamp, Hendrik P. Lopuhaa and Jon A. Wellner:
Asymptotics: Particles, Processes and Inverse Problems.
It is published in the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) Lecture Notes Monograph Series.
The papers in this IMS monograph correspond to lectures, given during the
meeting
at the Lorentz Center, Leiden, July 10 to 14, 2006, organized by the editors of the monograph.
Speech (Summa Cogitatio), delivered on September 8, 2006, Delft University (in Dutch), in:
Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde, June 2007.
My son Tim recently developed a new version of the old Maya ball game, where one has to hit the ball without using hands, feet or head. A bit similar to basketball, the goal is to let the ball pass through a ring on a wall (at least, in one version of the game of which historians seem to be aware). A Dutch (incorrect) description of what the game is about can be found in the Dutch newspaper NRC-Handelsblad (which, unfortunately, is not known for its precise newsbringing): A life and death ballgame. The game is not a Wii game as is claimed in this article, because there is no Wii remote control via a stick: the action is in the body and the belt, which has a sensor which was especially developed for this game. The game itself was developed for an exposition on the Maya culture in the National Museum of Ehtnology (Leiden, the Netherlands), where children can try to beat the old computer-Maya's.
