If You Don’t Know How To Do It February 24, 2010
Many people don’t know how to do certain things and thus they either hire someone to do it and learn to do that themselves. The last option is to forget the whole thing and do something else.
“Our company needs a new website. Let’s hire someone to do it.” Another example might be: “Hey! Let’s build a Facebook page for our chess team. Okay but, like, how?”
Cause A Mayhem February 20, 2010
Whatever you do, speak your mind and be original
Sometimes you’ll just have to stand up and say what you really feel about things. It can make people feel bad for a second. You might not be so popular for a while. But at least you’re being honest and speaking from your heart.
Don’t Work Hard, Work Smart February 19, 2010
Bashing your head harder to the wall doesn’t make things any better.
I’ve read these blogs posts and articles about working hard. There are statements like “And it’s exactly that mistake that most that people make when starting their own business: they just don’t work hard enough.” or “Ultimately: if you don’t like hard work, then rather don’t go into business for yourself”. The latter feels almost like a curse, if you’re not ready to spit your guts and dig heart your heart out from your chest to reach success in your work, the die tryin’.
Making Art January 28, 2010
My definition of art contains three elements:
1. Art is made by a human being.
2. Art is created to have an impact, to change someone else.
3. Art is a gift. You can sell the souvenir, the canvas, the recording… but the idea itself is free, and the generosity is a critical part of making art.
By my definition, most art has nothing to do with oil paint or marble. Art is what we’re doing when we do our best work.

I Was In Car Accident December 7, 2009
I’m fine. Nothing serious happened for me, but it sure looked pretty bad for the woman driving ahead of us. She was messing with her navigator in a curve, raised her view, didn’t have anymore the time to dodge and crashed onto a bus. We were right behind her, immediately pulled over and went to help and called the ambulance.
No News Is Good News November 27, 2009
Forget the nonsense and focus on important things
My grandparents always told me to watch news at least once a day. The more the better. I didn’t understand the news when I was younger and I feel like I still don’t.
There are many problems with news. They feast with grotesque and horrific subjects, like murders, accidents, robberies, political tension, dirty secrets of famous or important people (true or made-up), economic difficulties and so on. Pretty negative stuff. The news have become twisted form of entertainment, where behind of it are the lives of real people.
Recycling Web Designs November 26, 2009
This is my first post. Here. I never have had a domain or a site under my own name. So first things first.
I didn’t design this site myself. Yet this site, or its design to be precise, has been featured in numerous CSS galleries and blogs. And mostly when the articles have been about the most creative sites out there.
Ok, I’ve must’ve stolen the design, right? Many people do that; they just get to coding of the site one or another, copy that to their own site – and voilá – they have gotten a good web design, although with somewhat illegal ways. No, I didn’t steal the design. It’s just stupid and lazy. I can write about it more specific post in near future, but I can say shortly that it’s just stupid and lazy.
So how this is possible? How can I get an award-winning design, for free?
