I wanna go to TED, Watch the ‘Creative’ samples under the Highlights Tab here for some cool design/art related stuff, they have some of the most amazing speakers giving talks at this thing.

2004 was a great year for Ziyi Zhang fans, 2005 looks to be even better with numerous movie releases that include House of Flying Daggers, 2046, Memoirs of a Geisha and Purple Butterfly among others.

Sitting at my desk trying to work, having the internet at my disposal and no one to crack the whip, one click on a news link of Apple’s new speed boost to their Powerbooks (no G5 Powerbooks yet unfortunately) leads to another news article about using iPhoto to print a “life poster” (not available to Australian users) by blogger Mike Matas, then to his media catalogue software Delicious Monster which leads to a website for Mac Themse. Now I gotta try some new themse, getting bored with brush metal.

Lifesthetics is a postmodern philosophy for living. In very few words, lifesthetics challenges us to find our joie de vivre (Pablo Picasso’s La Joie de Vivre. Antibes. Fall 1946.) not through conformity (social, religious, or otherwise), or complacency (with our selves, our ambitions), but rather, through aesthetic self-discovery (by creation, cultural experience, perspective taking, conoisseurship, life-long learning, reflection, and becoming).

I like that, very Buddhist.
