DJ QBert @ Zentra, Chicago.
Quite an amazing guy!
Monthly Archive for February, 2008
Don’t know why, but this thing just made my day!
LOL
This is truly funny!
I actually think it’s funny to me because it took me like 20 seconds to get it. I was like WTF? 
Watching the “Charlie” video
oh gosh!
This Charlie video (google it) is amazing!
The rule is that EVERY time you hear “Charlie” you have to drink.
Here’s the result. N’joy!
Message for Ondrej
Oh, this video is something else…
No, really, it is!
So, Ondrej left for Spain to do his postdoc. We all miss him alot! Well, here’s the video we made for him.
This is an amazing idea! The Wine Bra from FireBox [and what a company name!] is something out of this world.
First, this thing makes your girl look bigger, which can be a plus.
Second, and more important, you can sneak booze into clubs, etc. You can even come to work in a mini, this thing, and a t-top. Get drunk and enjoy all the boys hollering at’cha!
Whoever was the designer of this thing… DUDE, WE ALL LOVE YOU!
[Yes, it has had to be a man to think-up something this crazy, don't you agree?]
Yep, yet another one I found.
Priceless this thing is:
Swarovski crystal, ladies!!
Where did I see this? Ok, here: “Gadget designers tap into female market” by the News-Leader.com.
They are addressing an interesting issue:
Women, you influence 40 percent of consumer electronics purchases, and nearly 100 percent of you say that style is important in your buying decisions.
Yep, women have become a major force in the purchase-decision-making process. I would say it’s even higher than 40%. Most of us guys buy things to [even if we don't admit it] impress ladies in one way or another. One might even say that women influence 100% of purchases. Well, 95%, since the other 5% of men are of non-traditional orientation. But they are trying to BE women in a way so I suppose it’s back to 100%
No matter, really. I do like things that look good so I applaud today’s designers who seem to have recognized the fact that the way a gadget LOOKS might be even more important than the way it works. Just look at Apple if you don’t believe me
These Russians… They would come up with just about anything to sell, huh?
Well, this cool new toy, the “flashbag” is a nifty design and, if it actually works, would make one heck of a gift!
I supposed it actually inflates as it gets filled:
I wish I saw this kind of stuff more often!
Who said Germans are OK to go to space? Especially the ones that look like this:
LOL! OK, OK, I’m just kidding!
Found this article posted on the German Aerospace Center site to be quite interesting.
Look at that! There is medicine, plasma engineering and physics, biotechnology, radiation research, etc etc etc. These guys are doing everything! Quite cool, if you ask me.
Personally, I’ve never really “looked up to the stars”… But perhaps I should. There are some quite fascinating phenomena that take place when you remove gravity from the equation. I’ve done a little bit of work on Coulomb crystals where the lattice sites were simply too tiny to feel the gravity. Too bad I have been looking elsewhere for cookies and am generally neglecting that initial effort. In space, however, even cows are weightless…
Anyway, read it and enjoy! Here are a few lines:
Plasma crystal research
The very first scientific experiment that was carried out on the ISS commenced in March 2001. This was a series of experiments that is still continuing today to research plasma crystals by the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching (Co-ordinator: G. Morfill). This involves micro-particles arranged so that they are floating in a plasma at room temperature. The lattice-shaped arrangement can be used as an experimental model system for the atomic structure of a solid. Thus scientists can examine in detail the melting of a solid using individual particle movements in terms of time and space. Under certain conditions they are also able to analyse flowing liquids and gases at elemental micro particle level.
Philadelphia Museum of Art (that big building by the river) is going to have an exhibit of works by Frida Kahlo.
So, naturally, being a member I’ve decided to attend.
I got myself hyped up enough to actually read about her. And, guess what? Frida is quite an amazing little lady. Although I am not too terribly ecstatic about some of the things she had done in her life, overall I am quite impressed and moved by her personality.
The two books I am linking below are both very good. First one is shorted and more colorful while the second goes into far more detail. I’d get the first one if I were you since the information is practically all there and the reading is easier since it’s littered with images, most of the time multiple on every page.
In Frida’s own words:
“I didn’t expect anything from my work but the satisfaction that I gained from simply painting and expressing what I otherwise could not put into words.”
- Frida Kahlo
Yeah, me too! Except I can’t really paint…
Also, even though I find her husband (twice) to be quite a moron and a bit too eccentric for my taste, I do like some of his words, and I am sure he loved her; though he did make her suffer quite a bit.
“Take advantage of anything life offers, whatever that may be, provided it is interesting and can give you some pleasure.”
- Diego Rivera to Frida
I especially like the “…provided it is interesting and can give you some pleasure”. YES! I need, myself, to realize and live that dream more and more often.
I do say, as a joke, “I like things that feel good and I don’t like things that hurt”… Oh, but how true! It’s no joke, you know! Why would I like things that hurt? Why would I do them? Perhaps it is a good idea to promise to myself not to do things that hurt anymore.
There I go again with the rambling. On and on…
Well, I hope you enjoy these books as much as I did and I hope to see you at the exhibit (should you be able to make it to Philadelphia).
and
LMFAO
So true!!!
Found this somewhere online.
Had I made this I’d add “cheating” in front of “psycho” but, alas, I didn’t make this, so we have to enjoy it as-is
