What matters to you//me//?
I mean, What really matters to me,
that thing that keeps me awake even after 2 days without closing my eyes,
that thing who always want to make it better and better and it’s never good enough,
that thing that makes me want to not only “be good” but be The best.
that thing that modify your world and put crazy new ideas in your mind,
that thing that makes you hate yourself and one minute later makes you believe your the greatest.
that thing that makes you smile, laugh, dance, jump like lunatic.
that thing that often is not finished but is on your reel.
that thing that makes you be late.
that thing that puts you under pressure.
that thing that doesn’t obliges you to sit in there when you don’t want or you just don’t “feel good” to sit there and make what you need to do, but when you sit by yourself there that thing makes sure that magic happens. That thing that makes your heart crazy.
that thing that say “every detail matters”,
that thing that makes changes “here and there”,

Deja clasica pot spune intrebarea de mai sus mai ales prin interviuri. Eu personal o urasc si urasc la fel de mult raspunsurile care vin odata cu intrebarea asta:
- In locul tau cel mai probabil! Pentru ca sunt un ambitios si muncitor
- Pe o pozitie importanta in firma facand lucruri importante
- Pai nu stiu acasa cu familia, la gratar sambata si la munca miercurea
Serios oameni buni este o intrebare ridicola nu ai cum sa spui ca peste 4 5 ani o sa faci aia sau aia sau orice altceva. Singurele persoane care ar putea sa spuna unde or sa fie si peste 5 ani sunt politicienii sau soldatul care alearga cu pusca in mana facand legea altora prin toate colturile lumii (si poate ca piratii sau persoanele interlope ar mai putea sa zica treaba asta ).
Ideea este ca nu ai cum sa sti ce iti rezerva viitorul, ce intorsaturi, ce meteorit iti pica in cap sau eu mai stiu ce altceva (si nu, nu ma gandesc la karma si soarta, astea sunt la fel de aberante asa cum sunt ele prezentate acum ca si restul).
Dar ce putem face este sa luam putin la misto aceasta intrebare si sa ne inspiram din deja clasicele ecranizari ale cinematografiei si nu numai.
Unde te vezi in urmatorii 4 / 5 ani?
Star Trek – The next generation
Poftim raspuns! Asta ar fi un prim exemplu unde sunt numeroase oportunitati pentru cariera si pentru o aventura in universul indepartat. Asa mai merge un raspuns nu ca cele de mai sus.
The world’s largest stock imagery company, Getty Images, released a mashup (I just stumbled upon it) that leans on the company’s vast stock image and audio assets. It is a flash application called Moodstream that draws on Getty’s photo, video, and audio collections to create what the company calls a
Powerful brainstorming tool designed to take you in inspiring, unexpected directions.
Moodstream streams music and images along with video clips to create a sort of audio-visual mix. There are manny other applications for desktop or mobile that are trying to impose the same effect, like StereoMood or Sourcetone, I for example use on my iPod touch RjDj, but none of them have incorporated a visual element (yet).
Moodstream is able to adjusts its output based on settings users input via some sliders that should describe their state of mind. Happy to Sad, Humorous to Serious, etc. Also the type of transitions between image assets can be controlled by the user, the amount of color vs. black and white imagery, and the type of music.
Everybody wants to be an artist and for some there are special tools that are in the same time very easy to use and very powerful when creating some form of digital art. On of these tools is Flame.
Flame is a painting program, it belongs to my ‘I am Artist’ experimental project. I think with tools which inspires you, everybody can be an artist. You can try it here, change different brush settings and paint your own flame paintings. When you change background from black to white, palette changes from additive to substactive and the feeling of the painting is very different. It’s not easy to explain all brush parameters, so I leave this for your experimentation.
Flame Painter Main Screen
Build by Peter Blaškovič Flame is a Processing application that can make a simple mouse movement look like a 1000 brush strokes on a canvas. Basically your brush is transformed into a multiple particle elastic one that can fill your strokes like you would do it with lots of small brushes put together. The only and the most important difference here is that you can control the intensity, color, opacity and size of each of the brushes.
Moscow designer Anatoly Zenkov to brighten up the routine work made a really nice application called MousePath. It was a simple Java based tool that records your mouse movements and records all your paths drawing a line as it’s goes along running in the background.
Posting it at Flickr, the tool very quickly made some noise and everyone was trying to see what was too discover in the chaotic movements of their mouse. Some of us even called it ART 
Now the tool has evolved from the little Java application to
IOGraph — is an application that turns mouse movements into a modern art. The idea is that you just run it and do your usual day stuff at the computer. Go back to IOGraph after a while and grab a nice picture of what you’ve done!
The tool works quite easy: Open, Press Start, Do your thing, Save the image…
Ever wanted to add a bottom shadow effect to some elements, shapes or images in Photoshop in just a few easy steps? Well actually is quite easy to do something like this and you don’t have to be an expert.
The main design advantage that bottom shadow effects have is that it will give you the impression of deepness to your content and elements.
Here is the desired effect
Step 1 – Open your image / document
Open your document or image in Photoshop and create a new Layer right after your main Layer. In this layer we will add the bottom shadow effect and because the new layer is positioned right after our main one it will display in the back without overlapping the main layer…

Inspired by others ideas and code and also by the need to insert a Top Link like button on my own website I managed to write a script that not only works on all major browsers but it’s also neat and animated
The expected outcome
The general idea was to try and add a link on the right side of the page that will appear and stick there after a certain percentage of the page is scrolled down and when clicked will smoothly scroll the page back to the top. Also it’s mandatory that this should work on all major browsers (including IE).
Here is an example how this should look like (example working already on this page, just scroll down to see it)
The button and the placement problems
In order to add the button to the page we just need to add this code to our page just after the <body> tag:
<a href="#header-top"> <div id="back-top" style="display: block;"></div> </a>
The DIV tag will be used to show our top link using a background-image (but you can use a text just as well) and the anchor will be used to link us to the top of the page (in this case by the most outer div tag with the #header-top id) .
I tried (lately) to separate my blog articles from funny, cool, dev, tech bla bla (meme related) videos and images and post them all on my Tumblr Profile but this one is a must see. I just stumbled upon it and this video is about A coder girl … I really can’t describe how funny and cool this one is so I will let you all to watch it and see it for your selves.
