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.

Thursday, June 25th, 2009Decorating the living room
Monday, June 15th, 2009We 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:
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, 2008Heard 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
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 have 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!
Utah is the new Nigeria
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
I was selling some stuff on craigslist when and got a very generic email response from a potential buyer that said something along the lines of “I’d like to buy your item. Is the item available? Please respond urgently!!” That sounded a bit strange and spammy, so I responded from a special “Just for spam” email address saying it was available. Here’s what I got back in response:
Thanks for your prompt response,My name is Mike larry located in Utah, i am currently out of the state on a pastoral mission.
I am buying the item for our pastor who is recently getting married to a California woman that is working in West Africa Embassy as a wedding present.
So you will be sending it to them once you receive the confirmation of my payment. I would have love to pick it up by my self, but i am out of the state now on a pastoral mission And i don’t want to disappointed them.
Please send me a paypal request to enable me to make the payment right away. through paypal,or the information that i will use to send you a u.s postal money order,I will like this item to get to them before the wedding. i will add additional extra $180 USD during payment for the shipment cost, Because you will be required to ship it express through u.p.s to them.thanks
Mr Mike larry
Now I’m just eagerly waiting for that wonderful extra $180!!1!1!!

Mushroom growth

I actually don’t really like mushrooms 
, but the way the tree-trunk squiggled away, and was covered with these guys looked very cool.
Taken in algonquin this summer.

Here we are
Tuesday, February 7th, 2006So here we are, I decided to make a blog to rant about things. I’m not sure how much I’ll keep it up, since I’m kinda lazy by nature 
. But we’ll see how it goes …
