Clearing out

So less than two days left in Chesapeake. My room is rather empty. Tonight I'm sleeping on a sheet less futon. The walls are blank. There are piles of boxes in the corner where my television use to sit, where id spend countless hours burning my retinas out on video games and movies. My room is just...simple. It's kind of weird. Kind of sad. I think about this year and now just realize that I've done a lot to get to the point where I am now. It's like that big sigh of relief after a long day of work. A new chapter in my life is about to unfold and it's happening so quickly. There are things I'm going to miss and things I'm not. I'm excited, not too nervous. So, tomorrow I pick up the keys to the new place. Saturday is move in day. No turning back now, huh? Not that I'm considering it.

ibook G4 Hard drive upgrade

It's pretty much like pulling teeth, correction... worse than pulling teeth. Unscrewing over one hundred tiny ass screws will give any healthy human an excruciating headache. It took about three hours. Never again I say!...unless I'm getting paid. Okay, okay, I'm just gonna put it out there, If anyone needs a hard drive or RAM replacement in any Mac model (desktop or laptop) and doesn't want to pay an arm and leg , ask me. I'm a pro now :)

The "STOP" sign

I found this video quite funny. As much as I want to believe that there aren't marketers out there such as the ones in this video, I can't bring myself to it, I'm almost certain that there are. This humorous video mirrors what designers are faced with when it comes to marketing/creative relations. Shouldn't the creative stuff be left to the "creatives", no? There is a big difference between marketing and Advertising, believe me.

MGMT- Kids (Soulwax remix) (video)

While we wait for Soulwax's official remix of MGMT"s "kids" track, there are only a few that are lucky enough to have received the promo. Erol Alkan is one of them. Check it out, it's going to huuuge...as Trump would say it.

The Dark Knight




The movie was well worth seeing on the big screen, well worth waiting in the long ass fandango line, well worth the wait to leave the theater and money well spent. As expected, Heath Ledger did a phenomenal job as Joker and the same goes with Bale (Batman), Eckhart (Harvey Dent/Two face) and so on. I'm not going to rant on about how good the movie was because I'm sure anyone who is reading this has seen it already and will think the same thing. You can read the reviews here

Banksy

Why expose an artist when his main purpose is to attain an anonymous identity. This will surely dent his ability to create more art in the future.
