North Korean photo tour

Renowned Russian art director and web designer Artemy Lebedev recently took a trip to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and came back with a surplus of surprising photos. Many of them forbidden by authorities.

On the move

No, I haven’t been laid off. I’ve just had enough of paying an obscene amount of rent each month. I recently found a nice place to move into so I’ll be doing so sometime next month. Yarrow will be a bit of an adjustment compared to downtown but I think it will be for the best. I really need to de-stress a little. Plus, the rent is so cheap at the new place that they’re actually paying me to live there.

Lately the noise has been bothering me. So much that I’ve taken to throwing items at the offending idiots. Ice cubes, golf balls, light bulbs, loose change, potted flowers; you know, whatever was handy. You haven’t lived until you landed a half empty yogurt container into some asshat’s convertable mini. I’ll miss that…

What I’m not going to miss is the noise, the construction, my bitch manager or the drunken morons that come in from the ‘burbs for some fun. Now I will be one of those people. heh!

I am going to miss the view I guess but I’ve had nice views before and not having them hasn’t killed me. Not being able to stay home and enjoy the fireworks is another downside but sometimes sacrifices need to be made. I’m sure that once I’ve adjusted to the smell and cowboys, everything will be just fine in pleasent little Yarrow.

It’ll be nice. I think. Yeah. It will…

Back to 30Boxes

The guys at 30Boxes said they had an answer to Google’s calendar and it looks like they were right. I have to admit that I have started to use Google more lately. Mostly due to the clean interface and the link sitting there in Gmail.

However, now that 30Boxes has released Webtop, I’m back on board. Finally a really cool online desktop to go along with the calendar. “Hey Narendra, now how about some calendar view options?” That would be cool.
