Movember re-cap

Monday, December 7th, 2009

I got sidetracked and didn’t manage to post daily updates for Movember. I know I know, I promised. Sorry!

But I did end up growing one heck of a ’stache. So here’s how some photo evidence. This is at the Movember party in Toronto, we forgot the camera in the car, so this is a shot in the parking lot afterwards.

Photo series: Life in Russia

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

I received a link to a photo series called Life in Russia by Russian phtographer Aleksey Petrosian, depicting his view on modern life in Russia.

Lots of very powerful photographs in there, worth a look.

Decorating the living room

Monday, June 15th, 2009

We spent the weekend doing some much needed decoration at the apartment. The most porminent of which is buying a lamp (several actually, but some are being delivered) for the living room and putting up circular mirrors on the living room walls at semi-random spots. Here’s a shot:

Our living room

Oh yeah baby! (It looks even better in person).

We also put up a bunch of photos, some regular-ish mirrors for the entrance hall and bedroom, and also put up the remainder of these awesome circular mirrors in the study room.

Living in a modern pyramid

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Heard about this in the news a couple of days ago. A Dubai-based environmental design firm, TimeLinks, is planning to unveil it’s newest “structure”, which is really a city-within-a-pyramid, called the Ziggurat:

Behold, the Ziggurat

Behold, the Ziggurat

This thing will supposedly be able to house up to 1 million people and have no cars. You may ask, how will they live without cars?

Fear not! They’ll haveĀ  modern transportation system within the structure that runs both vertically and horizontally. I’m envisioning the Futurama tube system…

This city is supposed to be carbon neutral, using only natural energy from the wind, water, sun and so on.

I think I’m going to start saving today for a chance of saving my soul in the city of the future!
