DM si 80 de mii de oameni la Stade de France

A fost indeed One Night in Paris.
Iar Dave a dat tribut lui Michael Jackson. Pe langa celebrul hi hiii, se vede si o incercare de moonwalk.
Concertul a fost beyond words.

Music gets the best of me.

Maine vom fi la Paris la Depeche Mode.
Asta nu era deloc in plan dar ma bucur nespus ca mergem.
Imi pare rau ca nu am fost la MJ atunci cand a fost in Bucuresti.
Mi-ar placea sa nu mai ratez nici un concert mare. RIP MJ . Sunt coplesita de media coverage-ul pe care l-a avut. Cei de la CNN l-au comparat cu Martin Luther King si pe buna dreptate.

RIP Michael Jackson

You will be missed.

Dave get well

Depeche Mode au anulat aseara concertul de la Atena.
Sa speram ca Dave are ceva minor si concertul de la Bucuresti nu va fi anulat.
Fingers crossed.
LATER EDIT
Sansele pentru reprogramare cresc. Depeche Mode au mai anulat inca 3 show-uri. In total sunt 9. Mult pentru un tur. Sunt sigura ca vor reprograma. Nu sunt sigura daca o vor face in iulie sau septembrie. Cel mai probabil in 2010 cand Europa de Est va fi ( ca si in cazul Madonnei ) o extindere a turului.
Asteptam.

incotro

In sfarsit lansat. Imaginea ma face sa ma gandesc la guma Turbo si la faptul ca abia astept petrecerea Raspiua.

The Box

Cea mai frumoasa cutie din tot universul. Contine Sunetele Universului adica extra tracks la ultimul album DM si niste demo-uri super extra giga terra.
Pionierul din mine s-a bucurat masiv si de insigne.
Va recomand, daca nu aveti cutia, sa cautati Ghost, Oh well,( despre care ma intreb de ce nu sunt pe album pentru ca sunt absolut excelente ) si demo-urile, aici preferatul fiind Nothing is impossible.
Numar zilele pana la concert.

Who's the idiot now?

La 93, 5 milioane de views pe youtube cam toata lumea internauta stie cine e Susan Boyle. Mai putini stiu insa ca doamna a mai incercat sa cante si in alte ocazii.
Macar acum vocea ei a lasat juriul paf-praf-sah-mat.

Ai bicicleta?

Daca ai vinde-o ca n-ai ce face cu ea. Asta daca nu cumva esti extrem si vrei sa te dai cu ea prin trafic unde oricand imbecilul din Q7 iti pocneste o usa in fata sau tii neaparat sa ajungi acasa cu nasul si gura pline de praf.
Luati de cititi.

WTF?

Is gmail going really mad?
Can someone please explain this? I'm trying to send an e-mail, late in the evening but who the fuck do you think you are google to tell me to go to bed?
Ok, I had a glass of wine but I'm still able to write and send an e-mail.

random

Am inceput sa citesc Funky Bussines. Chiar daca e scrisa acum un bilion de ani o gasesc interesanta ( ma intreb daca autorii o mai gasesc actuala&relevanta )
Am dat aseara peste " fratii si surorile noastre binare si imaginare". Oare cum arata sora mea binara?

And architecture follows me

Ambele sunt id-uri ale unor studiouri de arhitectura. BAA e mai bine desenat dar seamana mult prea mult cu PZP.
O fi de vina ideea foarte "la prima mana" ?

Pzp si Baa

I'm an architecture grupie.

Arhitectul elvetian Peter Zumthor ia premiul Pritzker ( echivalentul pentru arhitectura al premiului Nobel ).
Ce mi se pare foarte interesant e ca domnul traieste intr-un satuc din Elvetia, departe de oras - la munte frumos. Zice ca il ajuta sa se concetreze.

"For an art museum in Bregenz, Austria — a four-story cube of concrete, steel and glass that opened in 1997 — Mr. Zumthor used glass walls that at night can become giant billboards or video screens."




Acelasi Bregenz din penultimul James Bond.

Kinder Surprise

Vlad a facut o lucrare tematica. Very nice.

Arcul de Triumf

Am fost azi pe Arcul de Triumf. Nu se compara cu omologul francez, nu e la fel de interesant ca pe cladirea Connex din apropiere dar va recomand sa mergeti maine.
Partea cea mai proasta e ca trebuie sa traversezi printre masini care stau la stop. Nu exista o trecere pentru cei care vor sa ajunga la Arc.a..si bate vantul.
Cred ca era mai interesant daca aveam un binoclu.

Men

Imaginile din Project 112 (online acum, dupa ce au fost expuse la BCU) de Alex Galmeanu&Mihaela Berciu imi aduc aminte de o serie facuta de Sam Taylor Wood- "Crying Men" in 2004.
Desi diferite ca proiecte, sunt foarte puternice si frumoase amandoua.
Enjoy.

Tara arde si Oana se piaptana?

Desi ar trebui sa scriu despre minunata si uimitoarea tara imbibata de fabulospirit in care traim ( nu, nu ma plang ca un copil tampit , adica in ce tara statul decide sa ia taxe aberante de la microintreprinderi? doar sa suplimenteze un buget avorton care va trebui sa plateasca viitorul imprumut FMI? cand in alte tari normale acest fel de taxe sunt micsorate sau chiar dispar tocmai pentru a ajuta cumva economia chiar si la nivel micro? oare statul nu-si da seama ca majoritatea administratorilor - angajati in micro vor deveni in curand someri si ghici cine va trebui sa plateasca somaj...u u u tot bugetul de stat, deci cum sa fii atat de tampit? ) o sa pun o poza care m-a facut sa zambesc azi.
Oare am innebunit? Oare ar trebui sa ies in strada si sa fac o demonstratie in fata ministerului de finante? ( nu merita sa scriu cu litera mare )

Carve Your Own Wooden Postcard

Although I should blog about the total illogical and stupid country I live in ( and I have arguments - I mean in a country with an economy close to O the state decides to raise taxes to be payed by small companies like mine just because the state needs a bigger budget to pay the future IMF loan which by the way goes to banks and not to small companies who actually do something for the economy ) I realize that it's a COMPLETE waste of energy. Because it's not going to help. So instead please enjoy this Carve Your Own Wooden Postcard

Koons in Versailles

The perfect place for Koons. He is the King of Pop in a Baroque way. Saw his stuff before but in Versailles it's just perfect. It should stay there as permanent exhibit.

Miroslav Tichy

Because I recently remembered about him and his photography.

familiar ground

There are times when one(a) finds something and sticks with it for a long time.
Enjoy this part of Cinematic's Orchestra Live at Albert Hall "Familiar Ground".

Finally

Pixelenlargement's portfolio is finally online.
Enjoy.

wishlist

Looking forward to these two.

Thanks Iancu

I like good food

We'll be tasting a lot of good food Saturday at Ark.
Looking forward to.

In troubled times endangered species stick together

This is a picture of three Saab's all together. In our neighbourhood there are three. Black, silver and red. Now imagine a rather generous parking place. You see them sometimes between Dacia's Audi's and other cars (never together). Last night coming back from town we saw the silver one parked near the red one and one free spot, so it was rather obvious that we should park the black Saab that Tudor drives, near.

And it seems that this dear but endangered specie behaves like all species. They stick together in rough times.
I hope Saab will survive this crisis. I really hope so. We ( and not we me and Tudor but we, the owners, the users, admirers of Saab and everything that Saab is) would miss them a lot.
We've seen them butchered by GM let's hope they will go back to where they were a Swedish beautiful, not at all flashy, more than meets the eye, low but good profile car and not an " I wish I was a BMW" car.

ted

I'm aware that all of you watched at least one of Ted's conferences.
This is my favourite so far.
And I'm very thankful for my iPod touch for I can indulge with Ted's video podcasts.
It takes away the feeling that I'm in dead Bucharest.

Roblogfest

Karakiri's adventures placed 4th in company blog competition. Considering the big companies involved I would say it's good. 4th is good. we'll be first most probably next year. We got 5th place last year.
Still, not what it used to be.
And indeed we are dinosaurs.

Wrong

I've always been a huge fan and I like this one.
I've always had huge expectations and I like this one.
Watch the video.
Great

26 august 2008 - 26 august 2009

We got our tickets for Madonna. Thank you Doina.
The funniest thing is that last year 26th of august we were at, guess what? Madonna in Nice.
One year later another Madonna concert.
Well, she'll have to prepare something for the 26 th of august 2010 then.
Looking forward to the concert.

Slumdog Oscar Winner

Never been a huge fan of the Oscars.
A few weeks ago I saw Slumdog Millionaire and it was the best movie in a long time.
So powerful that even the lead actress left her husband to be with lead actor(18). A cliche isn't it? Well yeah, you can say all the movie is one but I loved it.

And I predict I'm going to watch the Oscars for the first time. Fingers crossed for Slumdog.

LATER EDIT And it did take almost everything.

30 today

30 arata foarte bine. Si se simte bine.
Si pentru toate fetele speriate de varsta, 30 it's a great age. Joy.
La multi si buni ani si voua.

Karakiri la MGB

Karakiri o sa fie sambata si duminica la ARK.

Prietenoasa ca de obicei, s-a gandit ca ar fi bine sa lase oamenii sa o vada si in realitate nu doar online..

De dimineata

Bucurenci mi-a bucurat urechile cu ceva.
Enjoy.

Maximilian

Dupa cateva zile de loop recomand albumul lui Maximilian.
Imi pare rau ca l-am ratat in concert. Pentru veselie atentie la track 13.
Next time. Pana una alta enjoy.

Asa da

Pe facebook, Emil a facut un grup care cere redeschiderea Amsterdam Grand Cafe.
Sustin maxim.
Jerry?

fuck crisis

PingMag - The Tokyo-based magazine about "Design and Making Things" a murit in decembrie.
Mare pacat pentru ca era una dintre cele mai interesante reviste online.

Jacqueline

Alex Galmeanu a gasit o comoara.

revival of the fittest

First thing we never died. So no revival just maybe survival.

As putea sa zic ca m-a enervat microfonul, scaunul, fumul, paiul de la bautura sau ca uneori in timpul prezentarii lui Tausance ma intrebam cati angajatori sunt in sala dar ce e mai important e ca Hydra Society a facut o conferinta buna.

Daca ar fi fost inainte de criza ar fi fost foarte tare. Acum laptele s-a varsat. Ce facem?

Ne vedem de treaba, acum mai mult ca oricand. Mergem si la urmatoarea conferinta Hydra Society unde vorbitorii vor apartine cat mai multor domenii. Ne mai intalnim la cafele, ne mai gandim, mai actionam.

Si gata.

















"Pentru cei care au deschis televizorul mai tarziu, REVIVAL OF THE FITTEST a fost o conferinta organizata de Hydra Society pe tema crizei si cum afecteaza ea industriile creative"

smaller thus stronger

One of ro's newspapers, adevarul is changing its format.
Text beside, desperately trying to look handwritten reads:
#if smaller then stronger
#smaller means more aerodynamics thus it will hit stronger.
What do you reckon?
I mean nice try guys, but even if smaller is cooler, there's so much more that you could have done with paper handwriting and smaller newspaper.

today's artist

between 2 major deadlines today's loop is energetic ebtg before today.
