  2010: Third anniversary 2009: 2nd time's a charm 2008: First anniversary 2007: Here we go!

The trio is not physically in Paris right now but what they built is. Many architects, more or less famous, worked in Paris and gave the city ones of its finest and amazing buildings (and I am not talking about Baron Haussmann here). Gehry, Niemeyer and Meier are world wide known architects, and they are still involved in diverse projects at the four corners of the earth. I am not an architect (although I have already drawn several sketches of Sama style buildings and facilities), but architecture and design are two very close worlds. In 1994, when the American Center (now La Cinémathèque Française) opened 51 rue de Bercy in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, it was the first time I saw such a deconstructive building. Well, not really the first time, at this moment I was playing Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle (Electronic Arts) on PC, and Gehry’s…⇒ READ MORE

Finally! The new Mars-1 Observer 6 inches tall vinyl figure designed by painter and sculptor Mars-1 (Mario Martinez) from San Francisco and edited by STRANGEco, has been delivered yesterday. I already have several vinyl figures from this artist: Mars-1 Observer Green, Red, Gray, Black and Zoltron Edition, and the set counts now two others: Mars-1 Observer Seen Edition and Mars-1 Observer Delta Inc. Edition. I posted an article about Seen last year: From sgraffiti to graffiti, from Cauchie to Seen if you want to know more about him, and his Mars-1 Observer vinyl figure is surprising. No graffiti Art but a special color scheme; cyan, red and white with a subtle electric circuit pattern on the surface of the figure. The “6″ in the center being a reference to Seen’s design company, Planet 6. Boris Tellegen (aka Delta Inc.) is from Amsterdam and his figure is all about colors: red,…⇒ READ MORE

This is my first (late?) post of 2008! I finally got a few minutes to present you my first ‘gadget’ of the year: iPhone Touch. First I wanted an iPhone like almost everyone, but since I can’t take photos with it (this is the reason why I bought my Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot K800i 3G phone, because it had a good camera), it couldn’t replace my actual phone so I decided to wait for the next iPhone generation. Until now, I used my phone to listen to music, sometimes also my Zen (Creative Labs) and/or my PSP. But the iPod Touch had it all (minus the camera, of course): the wonderful multitouch interface is exactly like on the iPhone, the 3.5-inch multitouch widescreen has a resolution of 480-by-320, there is a Wi-Fi version of the iTunes Music Store(so I can buy songs by just clicking on them) and you can use…⇒ READ MORE
