Close your eyes

Sometimes you just have to sit back and take it all in.

Hey there.

Long time no nothing. My bad.

Here's a few treats:

To hip or not to hip; a very interesting article regarding the re-rise of the hipsters, especially in the London scene. Highly entertaining but also insightful.

And another one, this time about a different way of making music.

Light and Dark

Some yin, some yang, and you have Da Vinci's technique of painting shadow and light. Well, not exactly, but that was the aim. The method involved smoothly blending shadows and lights in a manner that resembled the motion of smoke. Some even claimed that Da Vinci used his fingers to achieve this effect. And this is how he did it to create one of the biggest 'mysteries' of the art world, Mona Lisa's smile.

Battleship Island

Hashima is an island which alludes both to traditional ghost stories and nihilistic visions of the future, where the remains of buildings stand in the silent absence of humanity. The Battleship Island, which received its name from its shape (since, from an angle, it looks like a battleship), was populated during the industrialization of Japan and hosted various coal mines. As petroleum replaced coal in the 60's, the island was slowly abandoned, and its population density went from 83,500 people/km2 to zero.











An in-depth account of the island's story.

The new Tamagotchi

I can't imagine anyone who is even mildly sexually active bothering with this app, but I can see how it would make a cool (and annoying) prank. Quite clever, really.
