»The new year
2010 The year of the Tiger and Olympic competitions. Everybody is talking about 2009, what they have done, what were the most important aspects, innovations, most clicked posts on their blogs, and so on. As far as I am concern 2009 is was the year of learning and discovering. I have learned a lot as a developer and opened my mind more as a rookie designer.
Personally I don’t like to talk about the past regarding the achievements and failures on myself and my blog so I will spare you all from a long article that probably will be very boring.
»New design
As you can see I finally adopted the minimalistic trend that everyone is using and talking about this days. I know it took me one year to understand and see why this is better, although I don’t agree with the perception of this trend everybody is having, but this was the best pick that could fit to my current and future needs…
An amazing movie made by Alex Roman.
A FULL-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view where main subjects are already-built spaces. Sometimes in an abstract way. Sometimes surreal.
I can only imagine the amount of work Alex has done with this one especially that is made using only a computer and his imagination. You can see the movie bellow from Vimeo.
Web Design Fail? sau User usage Fail? Nu stiu care din ele sincer sa fiu, dar problema asta in general este pasata de la web-developer la user. Un exemplu foarte simplu este si pe site-ul celor de la Realitatea la pagina de Specialisti 
aici.
Iconitele “specialistilor” te jeneaza la ochi foarte mult cand le vezi asa turtite, parca ma uit la Plasma lui Dorel care nu prinde decat semnal 4:3 in Romania si toti au fetele turtite si fundurile latite. Toate acestea se datoreaza unei linii in scriptul CSS care defineste o inaltime fixa pentru zona respectiva.
Astfel o simpla imagine poate fi distorsionta si poate strica aspectul site-ului. Este adevarat ca nu multi observa aceste detalii, dar de ce nu se pot rezolva aceste bug-uri mici? Din experienta mica pe care o mai am tot ce pot sa va spun este ca in general la genul acesta de site-uri cu “roti mari” este ceva normal sa fie asa. De ce spun asta, pentru ca la un astfel de site sunt probabil cateva zeci de oameni care lucreaza. Mai mult ca sigur acestia sunt impartiti in 3 categorii: cei care deseneaza site-ul, cei care incearca sa il programeze cum l-au desenat altii si acele persoane care insereaza continutul site-ului (fie el text, imagine sau video). Ei bine aceste 3 categorii de oameni rareori se inteleg intre ei si cum rotile sunt mari se invart mai greu rezultand astfel genul acesta de neconcordante daca pot sa le zic asa la nivel visual asupra site-ului.
noisestats.radumicu.info este lucrarea de licenta pe care am sustinut-o (acum ceva timp) in cadrul facultatii de Matematica Informatica Brasov. Este o mini chiar nano clona de last.fm (Audioscrobbler), un serviciu web care iti permite generarea de statistici pe baza preferintelor tale auditive.
Datale sunt colectate prin descarcarea unui plugin care il folosesti impreuna cu player-ul tau preferat (pentru lucrare am folost doar Songbird). In spatele scenei plugin-ul trimite informatiile referitoare la melodiile ascultate catre server, acesta le proceseaza si genereaza statistica.
Ce am facut eu este partea de server care salveaza “statistica” venita de la player si genereaza cateva rapoarte pe baza acestora. Totodata am folosit si alte servicii web pentru a afisa si o poza cu albumul sau formatia/artistul preferat. Pentru ca nu am o baza de date cu toti artistii din lume am apelat la musicbrainz.org pentru a valida datele venite de la client. Exemplu statistica pe un user: Stats for TEST
Smart and funny advertising from Rubiks and Sauber Pantyhose
When I look around, I see disorder in the world—needless chaos and messes. I sense panic and stress.
In fact, I feel it myself. It rattles my soul and gives me a headache and a sourness of the stomach.
This is because everywhere I am assaulted by sloppy text that is displeasing to the eye.
There is no respect for proper letter spacing and font choice. Letters are squished together,
piled up, overlapped and jumbled. They are inappropriately and self-indulgently tracked out.
People mix typefaces with incompatible type styles.
Or they think, “Why use a simple, clean typeface to convey an idea when you can use three or five or twelve.” This is wrong. This is sad. This is an affront to a cultured society, and it must be stopped.
Immediately, before everything is tossed away to an angry wind. Order must be allowed to thrive, to flourish, to bring us into a tidy harmony.

“The story
Monstrosities, eyesores, nightmares of architecture — call them what you like, ugly buildings are sadly all around us.
And you cannot simply define one category of hideous architecture. There is ugly, and then there is Ugly.
The latter often open in controversial circumstances: There may be protests from local residents, and there can even be calls to knock them down. Yes, these are the world’s ugliest buildings.”
Ghici cine este pe locul 9 . Oricum una peste alta UK este Queen if I may say so in acest top.
