Finally! When I was beginning to think and fear, for that matter
, that Google will be the mastermind of all information around the globe, here comes a google-competitor. Cuil.com, pronounced cool
, is a search engine that not only provides results faster than google, but organizes information upon relevancy. God, that is refreshing!

I’ve searched for the keyword “streaming” and the results that i have received are organized into tabs: all results / streaming video / streaming audio / streaming media / etc Plus, each tab has a category organization that helps you better navigate through the results. So you either browse the results in the list, as you did before on google, or yahoo or any other search engine, or you use the embedded classification.

Going down on patterns (15′ 29″)
This experiment has a very unusual result, I filmed the whole moment in one move using b/w grain contrast. The movie in itself is powerful, but when I experimented with multiplications, I discovered that all of a sudden, the entire perspective has changed. I love the sliding cars and way light changes shapes.

some people get bankrupt by insane shopping experiences. I don’t like to shop till I drop
… but I recently discovered that I do something that is veery close to doing the same thing
Whenever someone asks me for some help (paid or not) I’m always there with a big YES … well… when I only did 2 universities at a time and had a boyfriend and a job .. at that time, it was not criminal. but right now, I have one very demanding job, working on building a business, having personal life and working on the 4 short films series, nlp training, coaching for my own career, coaching and helping others to grow professionally and personally
… man, it’s crazy. STOP
STOP I say .. I need a vacation
..mna .. it doesn’t seem to stop on command
oh, well …. back to spending time… right now i’m on intensive MSProj therapy that actually proved to be very very good in scheduling and reducing this enormous pile of work … thanks acquaintance for the good video on how to have the inbox clean. I’m working on that, also on how to know on the blink of an eye
how many resources are available

To me, the most obvious sign that God exists is the fact that all this immense universe is obeying the same laws. Over and over again. I mean, a physics law is something that only has meaning in a mind. Otherwise it is just plain jabberish, yet all planets, all single objects (that do not possess a mind to understand the law) respect the same laws to an infinite manner. So there must be a mind/intelligence other than ours, behind these laws.
For instance, let’s take the moon… If there were no intelligence behind the sollar system, at one point the Moon would just say: what is it with me that I keep on rotating close to this planet?!?!!? What am I crazy, let’s ditch this stupid law of gravitational attraction and see some other solar systems babyyyy
(more precisely, some very disorganised solar systems, as the gravitational law would only work from time to time)
Or, imagine that everything that is in this world and universe, be it you or me, or the newspaper or the sun or an entire galaxy is made out of electrons and protons (actually here is the precise list of fundamental particles [ro]). All things, all of them… and still all electrons and protons and neutrons keep doing the same old rotation with such a regularity that you would think it’s a sisif kind a job. If I were an electron, to tell you the truth, I would’ve quitted my job a loooong-loooong time ago… hey, I’m a creative, cannot stand to do the same thing over and over again. Yet all matter in this universe continues to obey the physics laws. Even I (that have a mind and declare myself as creative) cannot fall off a cliff and go upwards, unless I have a system of propulsion that would also obey the physics laws.
hihiii …. imagine the spin particles
saying … why bother spinning like crazy to have this flower bloom … I need a vacation man, I’m getting dizzy already
How do you see the immutability of these laws?

Actually, not just in the RISD team, but leading the Rhode Island School of Design. Even though I never was to MIT, all those years of constantly following his work with the Media Arts and Sciences Department leave me now with a feeling of nostalgia
cute! what can digital information do to a very sane person
I hope, and I know, his work will continue to be inspirational and I sure hope one day I get to meet the idea generator man in person.

I’ve got mail! not e-mail, dearest beloved, but regular mail. From whom? Ars Electronica.
Last year, Ars Electronica was about privacy, and how it is slowly but completely dissapearing from our universe… This year the festival is about the new cultural economy and its new limits on intellectual property.
Internet and technology has made copyrighted information become inadequate. The costs of its production gets lower and lower… things that used to cost a few years ago, are now plain free, but other businesses emerge, so the final user is not the one charged, but by his actions, he actually makes money for the business that gives him the free goods.
The commerce is nowadays a threesome
.. it used to be a couple before that - you gave me something, I gave you the money for it. Today, you give me something, I spend some time on your website, advertisers get their commercials seen by me, you get paid by them heheee …
