Gerbera's dream

2006-07-08T07:14:00.000-07:00

She was dreaming about morning dew, caressing her petals, evening sun, kissing her good night and midnight refreshing breeze...

It is nice here

It is hot in Belgium

2006-06-13T14:12:00.000-07:00

Well, summer has arrived. As usually it happened very unexpectedly.We jumped from almost autumn weather with gloomy and pouring skies to awkwardly hot days... One is glad to throw off something else but is is not possible to shed the skin... My cat is mainly mellowing on the floor lazily playing from time to time as if doing her duty...

Different effects

2006-06-03T14:57:00.000-07:00

another picture made with Picassa. Still not a very neat result, but
the simplicity of using the artistic effects impresses me a lot. Here I used "soft focus" effect and "tint". Well it felt so nice that I did not want to stop working with Picassa...

Photo of the day

2006-06-02T17:53:00.000-07:00

Today I was taking lots of photo. Now using Picassa it's quite simple to put 'em online. Well, photography is one of my favourite pastimes, and now I get also a possibility to reflect better about the images I make. It is because when they are online I get a "looking-with-another pair of eyes" feeling.
I wonder which associations does this object cause in spectators. Comments are welcome.

Science

It would be nice if someone could program a text transformer. It is not about translation, but making reading easier. For instance, if there is a scientific article one must read, but it is almost impossible to decipher the language, the "text transformer" makes it easier to digest. Of course, the use of specific language has its justification, and mostly because it is not so ambiguous as a colloquial one... But sometimes it such a bore to read some 40 pages of an obscure text where simple thoughts are expressed with a very involved language. It's like writing for a little group of recognized people, who sometimes look to me like linguistic perverts.

Studying modern art

2006-01-31T18:29:00.000-08:00

Now I am studying Fine Arts. It is my second career. Well there are lots of reasons for studuing the second career, so I will not go into details now.
The current carrier is called “free arts”. I suppose, everybody gives his/her own meaning to these words. Nevertheless, there is one thing, which is very clear about studying modern art: No one can teach you that. Because, in my opinion, none really knows what it is. All the professors got their formation long ago, they were taught accordingly to a different scheme. And now a student must discover by him/herself what is that “contemporary” art everybody speaking about. Once you have stepped on this path of discovery sooner or later you would find yourself alone there, because it is discovery of your own self.

just to start the blog

2006-01-29T13:41:00.000-08:00

Well I do not know how to start my blog in a "fancy" manner. So I write whatever came to my mind: Hard-boiled eggs.
Usually I like to eat 'em, but it takes quite some time to cool 'em down and peel. So recently I discovered that if after cooking I put them in cold water with lots of ice, they are ready to be peeled without any problem and to be eaten. Chilled, just as I like them.
Perhaps half of the world uses this method for ages, but I did not know about it. So, I believe, I discovered it myself several days ago.
P.S. I did a spell check, and discovered that suggested dictionary does not have the word "blog".
