no comment meaning of language and communication

"Inspiring, discomforting and challenging in equal measure, it not only forces us to consider the prejudices we may have towards people with autism, but also raises some huge questions about the nature of language, communication and understanding: we see words, spoken and written, and maybe images (if feeling very adventurous). But there are many other dimensions, senses and experiences open to us, if only we could discover them. And at a time when we seem increasingly isolated as people, it also challenges us to think about how we interact and connect with the (natural) world around us."

green advertising

I like this ad.
It's printed on banana leaves so perfectly biodegradable.
Could it be? Green advertising?Nature friendly adv?

light criticism

"And now, years into New York City's war on graffiti writers and protesters, after we've watched our friends be detained, arrested, beat, fined, tried, and given real jail sentences, not a single corporate toy from any ad firm has had to do any time. "
a collaboration between the Anti-Advertising Agency and the Graffiti Research Lab.
we don't have such a problem yet, but i do reckon that all the big cities have it.

Good album.I don't know why i like it.Is it the lyrics? Well I don't know.

Maybe it got me with cure's lullaby remake

wear my bone and say you love me

"Scientists harvested the cells from tiny slivers extracted from the couples' jawbones, then grew new tissue in bioglass scaffolds that mimic human bone structure. Artists fused the pure white bone with silver to create the unique rings."

japanese love hotels

"Unlike the dank motels where Americans allegedly seek anonymous sex, Japan’s love hotels are playful and unapologetically sexual. Photographer Misty Keasler shows the humor, desire, and even the loneliness of these empty rooms."

worried

what worries me these days is that santa is on extinction.

is it any other way? without snow there's no santa.and with this evolution of weather he's going to be more like a sailor, drunk all the time, with tattoos "ren rulez", making horrible gifts.

it's too hot for this time of year.

remember flaro?

Sometimes i'm thinking about great romanian brands before 1989.cec dacia brifcor.
Well, flaro was the pencil.
The pencil that almost always left ink stains all over.fingers, notebook, bag and so on.
2007, new logo, 3d ish.But what i really like about this ad is that they kept the stains.
great.even now flaro gives me as a promise the stains.80 years of tradition.

books for kids

saw this.
it's not particularly well drawn but i do reckon kids are more interested in reading comics than reading loads of pages with text only.with tv and all there's no wonder it should be more visual.
and now since dexter is dolce meaning he's speaking english again...i might even turn to dolce.
i think the romanian dexter , powerpuff or samurai jack was the biggest disappointment ever.

iPhone

This is a must have.in nov or june.
And even though it has bluetooth, still, you can't share the songs from the Ipod.Maybe that's the only thing i don't like about the apple.inc.
But a must have

poll:best new year's eve party

well, i never got it.
it's one night.nothing changes.but people expect that a new year will come and everything will be fresh and bla bla.
it doesn't happens.the magic time comes, the clocks are never the same so when is it?the new year?and everyone kisses one another and you know the whole thing.but nothing changes.
so i think that the best party at least this year was the train one.i mean nothing changed but at least the whole night was a journey so in the morning you were in another place.
too bad i found out too late.
pics soon.

hello back

some pics from snowy holiday.
snow snow snow.less pictures.less words.more snow.
