Julia Child

Daca ati vazut Julie&Julia si v-a placut tare de Meryl atunci e clar ca va place si de Julia.

No comment

Le-am cules de pe un site de review-uri.

Despre Bell&Ross Airbourne :"I think it is interesting because it is really a sign that Bell & Ross is trying to defend the watch because of some of the negative backlash from finnicky collectors. You can also see that the watch comes with a diamond covered face - because that is just what a watch meant to pay tribute to paratroopers needs, diamonds. Overall a very cool limited watch from the very popular Bell & Ross for a few thousand bucks."

Saab:"Take away that something that makes a Saab a Saab and it ceases to be a Saab and Saab ceases to be. That’s perhaps a tautology or perhaps a mystical revelation or maybe we’re all supposed to clap so Tinkerbelle will live. But the Saabness of a Saab is a fragile thing in an era of platform sharing and intensive competition: Put a griffin on the hood of an Opel and call it a Saab and you break the spell, and what was Saab evanesces without even any sparkling stuff in the air."

iPad:"If you are thinking the Apple iPad is like stretching an iPhone and giving it a great display, you are mostly right."

Nothing else matters

Nici faptul ca domnul canta intr-o crasma cu niste calorifere oribile.

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."

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.

Miroslav Tichy

Because I recently remembered about him and his photography.

Finally

Pixelenlargement's portfolio is finally online.
Enjoy.

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.

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

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.

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"

today's artist bjork

When one has a lot of music, one forgets about it.Then, one day, one searches something and finds other things.Found this forgotten, brilliant bjork concert.
So this week's theme is female voice forgotten in my computer.
The harpist is just amazing. At one point, you'll see, i was afraid she's going to get fingerless.

one doesn't realize how much our experience is based on visual input. but just picture dots on every known surface, on any known indicator. it makes you realize how much we need to see.
