..the roof..

Saw the rooftop of the santa caterina market in barcelona today - I posted about it a few months back- it was imprvery cool, although it looks much more impressive when you can see it from above...which is kinda tricky in that area. why put the best part of the work (in this case, all of the work) in a palce where you can hardly see it?

...posts...

as you may guess i've fallen behind on the psots...too much work and now some travel have thrown my schedule off..

for now - some architecture to check out..

today, before going to see my dear grandfather, i went to a train station that calatrava designed..amzing how much character the station has because of the design, and how it stands out yet still fits in very well with its surrounding buildings.

hotmail -- redesigned

...been using windows live mail beta for a couple of weeks now (hotmail overhauled) - the only way I would describe it is to say that it...sucks..

it's too slow (which will probably be fixed), has way too much ad space on the page and has been redesigned to look like...gmail?

skyscrapers 2.0?

..a good overview from slate magazine of how skyscrapers are changing around the world and how the old rules don't apply anymore..they don't have to be giant cubical blocks of concrete anymore.

listen --

magnetic time -- listen to your emails on your ipod, cell or pda...while you're commuting? I can see how it's useful to do that if you're driving or something and want to listen to emails (or a report), but there is reply option obviously...so I'm driving my car, or as they also suggest, jogging or cycling, while listening to my emails. now I'm just stressed out because I have all these emails that I know I have to reply to when I get back to the office -- I don't know about this one.

vosky - skype home and mobile..

.. skype over regular phones AND your cell!! I don't know if it's in canada yet or not..anyone? i have to admit i'm still not part of the skype movement - very 2001 of me i know.

only catch is there will be a weird password request when people call your home..

ear business...

...claening your ears - an activity that I hated as a child and have grown to tolerate, and even enjoy on the odd occasion. how many more ear-cleaning-haters are there out there?? apparently enough to support two stores, in Japan.

check it out..

what's next? the k9 version?
