Arta de a gresi

"In momentele care conteaza, aleg un deodorant pe care ma pot baza".

Dragutz, stau si ma intreb cam ce faci tu in restul timpului. Ah, lasa-ma sa ghicesc, esti roman. Folosesti unul mai prost, pe care nu te poti baza, sau pur si simplu nu mai folosesti deodorant deloc.

Felicitari domnule copywriter, din greseala ati adaptat perfect textul.

This is not a birthday, we know. But still, a certain painter should not use surrealism as a lame excuse for not buying a round of drinks on his birthday.

Despre vopsitul ciorii

Stim cu totii ca stam prost. Bucurestiul, precum multe alte orase ale Romaniei, e ca un scaun vechi: descleiat, incomod si cu un picior in groapa. Traim intr-un cerc vicios: suntem vai de curul nostru, istoria nu ne da credit, noi nu schimbam mobilierul.

Evident, vom fi fortati sa reparam (din nou) acelasi vechi scaun, sa vopsim (din nou) aceeasi batrana cioara. Si daca tot trebuie sa mai batem un cui in incheieturile pline de gauri ale acestui oras care se drogheaza cu provizorat, zic sa o facem macar de data asta cum trebuie.

Daca va intereseaza subiectul, treceti prin foaierul Muzeului Taranului Roman pana pe 15 noiembrie sa vedeti "Idei mici pentru un oras mare", una din expozitiile Bienalei de Arhitectura Bucuresti 2008. Sau intrati pe site-ul http://www.arhitectura1906.ro, unde puteti sa vedeti si eventual sa votati 16 posibile solutii pentru problemele noastre.

Holy Grail

"In total, 12 modified Hasselblad 500EL fitted with Zeiss lenses were left on the moon between 1969 and 1972. Only their film magazines were brought back to Earth. In fact they are still there now, somewhere in the Sea of Tranquillity..."

"The 1958 world fair in Brus­sels not only gave us the Atom­i­um, but also Grand Prix Brus­sels 1958 lens­es. It also gave us the Kometa, KMZ's spe­cial­ly built hy­per­mod­ern rangefind­er cam­era in the league of Leica's M3, of which two pro­to­types were taken to Brus­sels that van­ished soon there­after..."

"Perhaps I am doomed to retrace my steps under the illusion that I am exploring, doomed to try and learn what I should simply recognize, learning a mere fraction of what I have forgotten."

Tocmai mi-a taiat calea aceeasi pisica gri, pentru a doua oara intr-o saptamana. Aparent nici ghinionul nu mai e ce-a fost.

When Spin Goes Ballistic

In a recent muscle flexing exercise, Ahmadinejad showed off the most secret weapon in the Iranian arsenal. No, we are not talking about the Shahab 3's succesor. Beware, Israel, of the mighty force of... well, Photoshop.

While 4 rockets going up hill might have that something that puts you in the world news...
... the reality begs to differ. Apparently, the fourth cracker didn't want to pop up, revealing something that can be described as the world's most ugly milk delivery van. Embarassing like hell, I would say. Details on The Lede, The New York Times' blog.

I wonder what could be the next step; probably the destruction of Israeli properties in Second Life. Anyways, for more fun, take a look at the Engadget's response: The Iran Tech Photoshop Contest.

Oh, the passion...

If f/5.6 is really f/5.6568 (square-root of 32), and f/11 is f/11.3137.(sqrt of 32)... and if f/11.3137 is rounded to f/11, shouldn't f/5.65 be rounded to f/5.7 instead of f/5.6?

AND shouldn't f/22.6274 be rounded to f/23 instead of f/22?
