I know...

...what am I going to talk about at TEDxIasi. It all came to me this morning. Don't peek! :) You'll know when the time is right. It's not ground breaking, it's just some sort of poetic justice.

What to have (IX)

A jacket from the Acronymjutsu collection. Just play the video, you'll understand.

What to have (VIII)

The world smallest M mount lens ever made, Sadoyasu Miazaki's custom made Super Triplet Perar 28mm f4. Or the 35mm f3.5 of the same maker, which is the smallest M mount 35mm lens.

Consensus

Here's a funny blog about Kim (the Jong Il, not the Kardashian).

Ever heard of a cinemagraph?

It's a GIF that presents itself as a photo but shows only some subtle details in motion. Few seconds, frozen in time, waiting for the right director to transform them into the shortest short movie in history. Which, btw, is going to be my next art project.

Until then, this is next best thing: I took some of Kevin Burgs' cinematographs, added one, and rearranged them in order to make a short story out of it. It's called "The fastest man"...

Together play now for you... jazz!

The other Mondrian

One of my all time favorites: the portret of Igor Stravinsky, as seen by Arnold Newman. Here's a nice post about him, via wayneford's posterous.

How to start working on a new presentation

When you're working on a new Powerpoint presentation, don't use the blank template (that if the company you're working for even thought about having one). Just get an old presentation from a pitch you've won, respectfuly strip the old content down, one piece at a time, and save the file under a new name.

Think about it: you've probably invested a lot of energy into it. Get some of your residual mojo back, let the energy flow. You'll see - your creative chakra and your boss will thank you.
