You’ve heard people talk about saving the world? Well, here’s your chance to help out… There are many ongoing projects that need to be computed and this is a brilliant way to get it done – use the idle power of your computer to process data from the project!
I’ve got 2 of my computers configured to run projects as part of the World Community Grid.
In today’s world, the things we use day to day should complement what we do and make our lives easier. The software we use should not be any different. It should simplify our tasks, analyze our day-to-day activities and make recommendations. Some call it invasion of privacy but these are the people who are too full of themselves.
Yes, I do not want someone else to know what I’m doing every minute of the day but I don’t have that much to hide. Information should be power. It should tell us what’s available near us – not in the form of spam advertising – only show it when we ask it to.
There can’t be so many wrongs as there are so many rights.
There aren’t all the time in the world to do all the things you want to do. Life is short enough that you have to realize that sometimes the moment that makes it hits you when you least expect it. Even if all seems to have moved and ended badly, all it takes is that one time that makes it all worth it.
The entire week has been definitely challenging and demanding but somehow with enough determination, this week is just another week that couldn’t have been any better.
As busy and crazy my life is right now, all I can remember now is how well it went. It took was 3 tarot cards to tell me what I already know – do things that make you happy – go after what you want – and … (forgot the third). I’m not telling it the way it was told but it is how I remember it.
Then I had the best moment this week – dinner with friends. That moment was definitely priceless – simple – easy – relaxing. All I needed. Don’t need to be who I’m not and don’t need to be extra charming to impress others – just need to be me.
This has been the most challenging year – so many great starts and so many great failures. I don’t see them as complete failures but revealing times. Bad moments with good sides to it – just another bump in the road.
I’m definitely superficial even though I should be the most empiral and fact-based person that I should be.
As if I’m not busy enough, I’m able to dream up a few more projects for me to do… Okay, projects that I’m considering doing – another band/musician type photos – one on one exclusive coverage shoots – live shows, albums, promos stuff.
The second project is to celebrate the end of an era for me and I need to do it in the next few months. I’m thinking about calling it The 29 Moments. The idea is to capture really awesome 29 pictures in the next few months and do a self-published book. When I saw really awesome, I meant just spectacular and mind blowing good. Pictures that I would stop and won’t get sick of… I’ve got a good start to this portfolio – I just need to get more.
Sundays are supposed to be quiet days, where I get to rest and relax. But not today. I’ve just been studying and doing homework all day. What a change. Not entirely terrible either, especially after the quite disappointing paper that I wrote last week.
Was totally inspired last night. If I had a photoshoot yesterday, it would have been the best thing. Today’s shoot was cancelled and this makes it that much of a laid back Sunday…
I’ve always LOVED large pictures, pictures that fill a room, wall to wall. I love the details in the picture and I love to be captivated by a picture, a scene or a mood that surrounds me.
My pictures don’t look good when they are presented small. I’ll be working on the next version of my website, one that can provide a full screen view of my pictures and one that can be presented more of how these pictures reflect what I see.
Version 2.9.1 is being worked on. It seemed like a major release but I’m only reworking the presentation layer. In case you didn’t read about who I am – I’m also an engineer so I’m mixing my passions. 
We seek love in our own different way. Yeah, you’re thinking of the conventional love that we have become accustomed to. No, I’m not talking about that kind either.
If you break it down, if we concentrate too much on ourselves, we love ourselves more than others. If we concentrate too much on work, we love our work. And if we concentrate on someone else, then it’s just crazy coz no one really appreciates it as much.
If you try too hard, it goes nowhere. Eventually, you will plateau. Perhaps this is when you have to find new ways to rediscover what it is you love about that someone or something. No one said that journey would be easy or hard.
Okay, I’ve talked enough about it but she is by far the best model I’ve worked with ever. Months later, I’m still finding amazing pictures that are just hiding and waiting to be discovered.
