¶ Design the flying car
I could be a high school math teacher, I could be working for Intel, I could be doing research on electronic components and so on… but life made me chose a different path long time a ago.
¶ A personal client for App.net
Most of us don’t want to use our credit cards to pay online, some of us just can’t, others prefer PayPal, some think that web should just be free. App.net charges up front if you want use their web application. These two premises don’t add up.
¶ Everybody's fault
What should I write about? The fact that life is stupid or the fact the fact that we make it stupid. Then we come to wonder how did we end up like this.
¶ Textpattern character counter
The recent announcement by Twitter made me sad. I talked about the issues with social networks in A Dash in Space-Time Continuum and Disconnected, so I’m not gonna discuss it again.
¶ Juicy fruits in the mix
I know, I know… I shouldn’t have started this article with such a catchy title. I should have gone with “Fruit Madness”, “This is Sparta, Fruit” or maybe “Return of the Fruit”. But making juice is like listening to the summer hit. I don’t know what this summer hit is, but now I know how to make juice.
¶ Write more, do more
A few years ago when I begun writing on a Romanian blog I got people telling me to write more. I perfectly understood why, but I never understood when as in how much. This got me thinking lately.
¶ Let's get frisky
I am a very complicated man, I change my mind every now and then. A few months ago I bought a new domain: friskr.com. The idea was to create a brand new web application where people can upload only black and white photography. The plan was to also build an iPhone app that will let you create dramatic grey scaled photos.
¶ Too insistent
When you see her on the subway you think she is the only one that can make you happy. You’re far from truth, even her eyes tell you different. It feels like you lost a game that you never could have won. Suddenly, it is wrong to want her. You just have to let it go.
¶ An iconic book
Back in October last year I received an email from Jon Hicks asking me about the Peculiar icon project. It was a surreal moment for me, since one of my favorite designers was asking me about a project of mine.
¶ A dash in space-time continuum
Back in 2009 I wanted to make a change in the way I use social networks. I simply disconnected from everything. It was a good thing to do because I managed to spare myself some time, otherwise it could be wasted on stalking pretty girls on Facebook. I’m joking, of course. No, I probably didn’t joke, but I’m sure you’ll get the idea.
