But few days ago, while reading a post on web page I thought … damn, that’s a good article, I need to bookmark it. One might ask, what the heck del.icio.us has to do with that story. Well ….

I have came across an article on one of a web sites. They suggested that you can run your desktop of everywhere from your web browser. And off course there is a company that is already running a beta testing of this service. The name of a company is Nivio and you can find them at this web address: http://www.nivio.com .

Today I was trying to paint like Seurat. Seurat was a french painter. What is so special about his work? Well his paintings looks like they were made with millions of dots. Off course I wasn’t painting with millions of dots, instead I used Photoshop. With number of brushes and some special masking technique I was able to achieve similar effect that Mr. Seurat did. Anyway, take a look at original picture and at my Seurat impression.

I have listen to this band for some time now and I have to admit it. I really like it. I was trying to analyze, what is so “ear catching” about this band. Well, I have to say that pretty much everything. Good vocal and instruments handling. Three guys feel in silence space with a lot of music. Style of a band is like Alternative rock with a bit of Electronic and Heavy metal sometimes.
