Heading Corpus Christi

July 25th, 2009 | Posted by deCoder in Uncategorized - (0 Comments)

Am gasit ceva timp sa mai scriu pe blog. Ieri am fost la <a href=” http://www.drafthouse.com/“>Alamo Drafthouse>, o combinatie intre cinema si restaurant. In timp ce prrivesti filmul poti sa bei o bere, doua si sa halesti. A rulat Up, in 3D. Interesanta ideea cu halitul in timpul filmului. Diferenta mare dintre drafthouse si carciuma este ca aci nu ai voie sa vorbesti in timpul filmului. Astazi o sa fac 200 mile pana la Corpus Christi sa bag un desht in mare. Pretul benzinei este de 70 cent/litru, jumatate cat in Germania. Desi sunt o gramada de masini puternice pe aci (eu am primit de la car rental un Pontiac G6 GXP) nu prea ai ce sa faci cu ele. 110-130 Km/ora, maxim.

“Weird Al” Yankovic – Virus Alert

July 17th, 2009 | Posted by deCoder in Misc - (1 Comments)

40 years ago, three human beings – with the help of many thousands of others – left our planet on a successful journey to our Moon, setting foot on another world for the first time. Tomorrow marks the 40th anniversary of the July 16, 1969 launch of Apollo 11, with astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. aboard. The entire trip lasted only 8 days, the time spent on the surface was less than one day, the entire time spent walking on the moon, a mere 2 1/2 hours – but they were surely historic hours. Scientific experiments were deployed (at least one still in use today), samples were collected, and photographs were taken to document the entire journey. Collected here are 40 images from that journey four decades ago, when, in the words of astronaut Buzz Aldrin: “In this one moment, the world came together in peace for all mankind”. (40 photos total)

English Russia » Russian Sakhalin

Ai zice ca-i o imagine din Romania. Nu. E din Sakhalin/Rusia.

The guy who made this photos lives in some city in Sakhalin region of Russia, the one that is near Japan. He didn’t expect his photos would get popular when he just wandered across his town and made them, primarily to show to his friends.

Carpete… Carpete… Carpete…

July 15th, 2009 | Posted by deCoder in Romania - (0 Comments)

Mai tineti minte carpetele ce impodobeau odata (probabil si acum pe alocuri) peretii unor locuinte din Romania? Mult timp am avut impresie ca sunt doar decoruri chicioase. Ei bine… Se pare ca in spatele acestui aspect artistic indoielnic se ascunde si unul practic. Cel putin in Rusia aceste carpete au devenit populare in anii ’50 si aveau rolul de a tine locuintele mai calduroase si mai antifonate, peretii fiind foarte subtiri.

Pictura de mai sus este din Rusia. Daca va uitati cu atentie observati o sufragerie foarte asemanatoare cu sufrageriile romanesti dinainte de ’89. Se pare ca la noi influentele orientale au predominat, “Rapiread din Serai” fiind prezenta pretutindeni :D .
