not enough security?




















In the belief that the world's most surveilled society isn't surveilled enough, eight London cops are getting HEAD-MOUNTED VIDEO CAMERAS to record their run-ins with drunks, soccer hooligans and unrestrained American tourists. The battery-operated cams will record police interactions, and may be used in court.

silent disco in bucharest

been to silent disco last saturday
at first it was bizzare but after you got used with the silent atmosphere it was quite ok.
it crossed my mind that, if everyone sang the thing would have transformed into a massive karaoke
and another idea, that if i would have had a radio device for my ipod then, instead of 2 dj's there would have been at least 3.
and another idea, bluetooth is soo under used.

keep it green

well, like them both, first one is friendlier, sort of makes you think that you can be as comfy outside as inside, like this hommy touch to it and the second one makes grass and "keep it green" a very cool thing.

life is short, make it eventful

chestionabil tried this few months ago, who do you want live in ro?
well, now it's out there:eventfull.
create demands for artists and maybe someone will pay attention

from one context to another

certainly there are similarities between apparently different things.if you look closely you can see them.as an old song used to say you don't need eyes to see you need vision.
med expertise as a F1 routine.
"As 18-month-old Alexander Barham was wheeled into intensive care, his survival depended on the expertise of the medical specialists all around him and, in no small part, on the split-second precision of the Ferrari Formula One motor racing team".
A gripping story in the Telegraph describes how a major restructuring of the patient handover procedure resulted from the input of the F1 pit technicians. Surgeons at a London childrens hospital became aware of the similarities between the handover disciplines from theatre to intensive care and what they saw in the pit of a Formula One racing team. Their complex and life-critical process involves coupling a bewilderment of tubes to drug supply, ventilation and monitoring equipment above the young patient's head. The story describes how Ferrari's race technical director Nigel Stepney helped the hospital team improve the procedure. Stepney comments in the story: "It takes a long time to establish a (pit) team. We have twenty-odd people working together for four to six years to get a routine which lasts little more than four seconds. They work round the clock, every day, with ever-changing personnel, so what they need is a formula to work to."

no comment - oudoor advertising for blind

:Beleyes.nl, an online shop for vision-impaired, placed transparent stickers on the pushbuttons of the traffic lights. The shop's URL is written in Braille.

like it - pirate cinema

well.wonder if they are not censored by some association for protecting copyright.
"Pirate Cinema Berlin is a public cinema that only shows pirate-movies.
The cinema is organized in protest against the entertainment industry and their aggressive property policies. All films at the screenings have been downloaded from p2p networks and the entrance is free.
The Pirate Cinema occasionally travels to other cities, so check out their website for dates and programs."

small font theory

been to groove armada and discovered soulwax.
groove armada..hmm..just proves that my theory about bands, their celebrity and bringing them to RO is valid.
well.groove armada was presented as the band with the biggest font on the flyer.
they still are famous but they were good years ago.
so the theory is like this.if you go to a gig for the band with the biggest font (famous band) but good years ago, the chances that they suck is really big.but instead you might discover one of the smallest font band.and they might be just very good.
had no idea about soulwax.really good.liiifeeeee.
youtube and google them

slow down baby

In Denmark they came up with an unusual solution for making the traffic slow down: they added naked girls which are called The Speedbandits.
there's also a video, but i didn't see anything for heterosexual female drivers.like a male sign:)
