A Declaration of Love

May 20th, 2008 | Category: fun, web 2.0

Today I was trying to continue an article about a Neuroscience presentation when I found an old love letter… an unsent love letter, to be more exact. I was a bit surprised, to be sincere, as old thoughts I thought gone suddenly rushed through my brain and made me reconnect to that state of mind.

I’m gonna share it with you and hope you’ll share some with me. The author of the best “poem” will get 3-5 hours of lucid talking from me, while I’m in my best neuro-shape :)

At the end of the contest I’ll make some graphs to show the mood of the love letters. Read more

Sumi-e painting

May 04th, 2008 | Category: art, design, fun

If you’re a chinese-japanese art fan or just a Photoshop-effects regular user, you might have heard of Sumi-e. If not, greater should be your curiosity to what I am about to show you.

Based on ink and wash painting, Sumi-e, or shui-mo hua as it is named in Chinese, its place of birth, is one of the most relaxing brush painting techniques, whether you engage in the painting act itself or just watch the splendour of the outcome of every brush move on the blessed sheet of paper.

Thought I’d better spoil you with some insides on the story, since the final act is gonna take a while.

Romanians – cradle of human civilization?!

April 03rd, 2008 | Category: facts, fun, science

————————————————————————————————————

Before you start yelling that I’m out of my mind and that my math background should have made me come to my senses let me first state some facts:

  1. The British really make a fuss over Stonehenge and launch „no-evidence” theories every decade.
  2. It’s surely not been just one time you watched a Discovery Channel Program about Atlantis/ an ancient civilization that taught us a lot of stuff we wouldn’t normally know etc, etc
  3. Jung is the one who introduced the theory of synchronicity, the idea being that similar things that happen in the same time actually DO have a connection that our minds see.

adagio for strings

March 19th, 2008 | Category: art, fun

is the best way for me to start any morning.

what was once the best saddest classical song and the highest selling piece on iTunes, now, equiped with beat and electrical sounds, it brings power, strength, vitality and joy of living. Watch Dj Tiesto’s cover of Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings”:

in all forms it is a masterpiece.

if the web was the ground you stepped on

January 24th, 2008 | Category: fun, web 2.0

I must say, I have always loooved maps with great designs.

There’s a bit of the will to explore, a bit of the idea of knowledge, a bit of the consequence of being alive and yearning to go further and explore and feel and live! :)

i got a bit carried out there… Read more

iasi@night project - joint effort

iasi at night white margin

Buna ziua tuturor! Acest post este asa cum si observati in lb romana, datorita
faptului ca toata imbulzeala asta de oameni cu initiativa m-a facut sa tresar de patriotism si de incredere in ceva mai bun pt tarisoara noastra si in speta pt orasul nostru drag - Iasi.

Asa ca am decis sa acord ceva timp pt construirea acelui brand al Iasi-ului de care se tot vorbeste de cativa ani si sa pun si eu o caramida la temelie. Iar daca sunteti pe faza, puteti si voi contribui la el si chiar extrem de simplu.

Sa va spun despre ce e vorba: Read more

Xmas’s Hot

December 26th, 2007 | Category: art, entrepreneurship, facts, fun, tech, web 2.0

today is like no other day… and on this special day I’m walking, I’m talking but most of all, I’m typing…
today, I feel the touch of perfection and that’s because on Xmas, you have all the time in the world to focus on actions rather than on planning or criticizing them. So, yes, I can lay back, relax and focus on it. Now, whatever that it is for you, for me it at this moment means writing about my free-time-generator - Xmas. Read more
