From Russia With Love

After receiving my first blog inquiry ever, I decided to be nice and do as requested (even though being extremely busy and borderline stressed). I know that the person asking is a geek when it comes to wooden stuctures and Japanese joints, and inspiration was needed. Easy solution: google wooden architecture. This Funky Shit goes out to all the wood(en) geeks out there. Don`t know much about this architecture, except that the building is Russian. But as we all know, Russia is rather huge. Rather. I guess the brief is ghosts, Ms. E.

18 GigaPixels

Geek News: 18-Gigapixel Panorama Offers Breathtaking View of Prague. This image is the largest spherical panorama in the world as of Dec. 2009. To you from the GadgetLab section in Wired. Hohoho, Merry Christmas.

So Called Life

Don`t you just Love (with capital L) AutoCAD? Graphics from above. I`m spending my days in school, together with; some members of Making Real, my computer, a steal ruler, the book "Small Images" by Ishigami san (this man is obsessed with plants. Great), card, glue, several portions of "yum-yum" and my Ipod. The cardboard glasses are part of my procrastination program, and the purpose of production is: Focus. Framing. And Fun. If you see me wearing these within the radius of 100 cm. from my computer, don`t ask for my attention. It`s business.

Dubaii

4th of January 2010, the Burj Dubai will be spick and span and ready for visitors. Or so they say. The evidence of clever engineering and smooth craftsmanship has reached the summit, at 818 m. above sea level. Well done. Good news: For those who would like to take a little trip down there and see all the Dubai wonders with their own eyes and cameras; the whole emirate is pretty much on 25% discount these hardcore financial days. Tickets.

M:I 5 - Hunting Creativity

Once there was a wise man, this wise man once said: Every creative process will sooner or later hit a dry spot. I`ve hit a dry spot, no juice as far as the eye can see. But I came across a webpage that gives you advice on how to proceed when the horizon is looking dark and cloudy. For free! Here.

For some reason, the advice: Take a break, came up 3 out of 6 times. Yes, I couldn`t settle for only one.

Post Script: It doesn`t always work (in your favour).

Flashback

Skagen was visited earlier this semester. We rented a car, on the basis of speed abilities it was probably a scooter in disguise, and set off to the very north of Denmark where two oceans meet. The day was/is one to remember. And all the blue sky you could ask for. Go or not to go, that is not the question. Go.

New(s)

President Barack Obama is left handed. Didn`t know. Now I do. He`s carrying all his accessorize on one hand only; his watch, his ring and his pen. Asymmetric indeed.

Make A Wish

Every year I wish for a sail boat (or a helicopter) for Christmas. After approximately 14 years of wishing, the boat criteria is slowly decreasing. It started out as: Sail boat. Nowadays the claim has dropped to: Small sail boat, not too fancy. But slightly cooler than a "VG-jolle" (Hybrid between rowing boat and a really small sail boat). Cross fingers.

Sail boats are pure magic. And the fact that you can control the "vehicle" from one small area on the boat, transforms it into a tool-of-techtonics, rather than just a floating hang-out. If you`re ever in London, visit an old man`s store. He got all the sail boat equipment you can imagine and more. It`s located on 194 Shaftebury Avenue, called: Arthur Beale LTD. Heaven on earth. I`m telling you.

By Night

Yo, NA to the SA is down with light at night. This picture is a mapping of all that`s bright, on a permanent basis. Cities, roads, coasts and transportation routes creates an alternative world map of glow.

Soon To Be

Christmas is not far away, only 20 days to be precise. This is a Christmas Tree made of car tracks in the snow. 2 in 1 as they like to say. I was kind of hoping a car would come in the opposite direction, to supply the tree with a star. But, didn`t happened, google-image-reality sucks sometimes.
