It past two weeks since I didn't post anything, quite a while, I know... I want tell you about Google Wave or the hypnotic and full of nonsense documentary: "HOME"... neither about iPhone 3G [S] or the cool new uk folding plug...
I will tell you about PHYSICAL SKY, fitted in render engines like: mental ray, vray, final render, etc. What's the catch with it ?.. it's simple, I realized why architects or students use the physical sky gradient as a background for their renderings which such a "passion". Since the physical sky was implemented to a click of a mouse a way.... all architectural students seems to discover the "meka" of renderings... but why did they like it ? ... clearly, they actually see that kind of sky twice a day, once in the afternoon at sunset and the other one really early in the morning when the sun rise, so they believe that's the amazing sun which no one see, especially the early morning one, yep... what you see and the others didn't saw before, it's beautiful, it's like u have an extra weapon...
But for one of us, it make u seek [physically], it reminds you about the white nights and the deadly morning light with all the cold shivering waves going through your body... and your empty morning stomach... but it's ok, we will get used to that kind of sky after some sleep... then will remind us about the worst thing which haply passed a way... aha, so maybe this gradient it's actually a a proof of glory :)) ... whatever. Anyway, some sleep is good.
I think the next post will be about the symbiosis between man and computer which appear when you spend more than 20 hours / day with it :))... but that thing maybe after 30.06 when I have my last presentation.

The future is very, very bright for SAAB.
The latest news regarding SAAB is that, since G.M. is dying slowly they start selling everything... and now it looks like is SAAB's turn. What make me really happy is who plans to buy SAAB... well yeah, as you maybe already know I'm talking about a company with only 45 employee, 200 sold cars / year and where one car, cost over 1 million euro... yes, it's Koenigsegg :).
I don't think there is anyone else more suited to keep SAAB in they're yard than such a powerful, mad, visionary, swedish company...
The sale is expected to close in June or early July and I really, really hope that SAAB will be soon part of Koenigsegg.
I see in Koenigsegg all the ideologies and beliefs which gave birth to SAAB back in 1947. [SAAB, Koenigsegg]

Carlo Mollino [1905-1973]
They say he was "an italian architect and designer" which surely was. I would say he was more than that, well... not sexual obsessed... that's another story.
He was an architect indeed, an exceptional furniture designer, interior designer, urbanist, teacher, a passional car designer, exceptional racing driver... and there are more... a great airplane designer, a really passionate airplane stunts pilot, a graphic designer, a good logo maker and yes a reaaaally good photographer, well, here is the part with the sexual obsession... but you can't be a passionate furniture designer without loving a women's body.... or maybe many more...
It's a pitty that you can't find to much on the internet about him. There are a short and good articles on Designboom [here and here] but if you Google him you can find only something about he's furniture and nude photography. For a deeper knowledge about this amazing, active, futurist, exploded and passional "dude", I recommend you two books [one and two], you can also buy them at V&A bookshop for 20 and 40 quid.

Baroque is more than baroque... is meta baroque, hyper baroque... they also believed that God is Baroque... mmmm yeah, wright.
Waking through the Baroque exhibition at V&A museum... I remarked the scenography of the exhibition which is amazing indeed [or Baroque] but the content... I wouldn't go again... so, honest?... you didn't loose anything... ah, or maybe the bookshop, check it out next time you go there ;)

by the way MacBookPro, I forgot to tell the story of my blowing battery :))...
This happened one day before my final jury [26.05.09]... I was just working and of a sudden I felt the laptop lifting up slightly and the mouse was like clicking alone [because the battery was pushing from inside, but this I didn't know back than]. I took a look under the laptop believing that maybe I forgot a pen or something under it... when I saw the blobby battery I tried alarmed to take it out, when I released it, jumped out with that kind of PUUFFFFFF sound :))... because the laptop was connected to the power sources didn't went off and didn't crashed or anything... but the battery definitively was dead. It's good to know that my computer didn't gave me the LOW BATTERY alarm when the battery was low in the last coupe of weeks... when the battery was empty the computer went OFF just like that... so, my advice, if your computer don't alert you about the low level of the battery and just shut down of a sudden, you better change the battery as soon as posible than fuck up your computer.
The good part are the guys from Apple Store, who gave me a new one instantly [in 14 minutes since I entered the shop] without any apple care or guaranty... but this remain a shitty inconvenient master planed by Apple. :|

I designed a new MacBookPro Elevator/Stand, signed CtrlArchDel. The sexiest part was to make it.. like bending the metal sheet, cut it with the plasma gun and painting it with a white radiator paint to be heating resistant.

I never get it why would you wear a bicycle helmet when you are riding/commuting through the city... you can't be so stupid to smash in to a car... oh, yeah... if a car will hit you... do you really thing that the helmet will be helpful if you will be hit by at least 1 tone of moving steal ? ... because I don't :).
You can chose to enjoy a bicycle ride in a beautiful sunny day, wind passing through your hair and bla bla bla... but no, you chose to ride with a wash-bowl on your head, it's for your safety right ?, ahah... dude, the safety is in your head not in how you protect it... so, ride safe my friend.

about decisions
if someone ever will want to here your opinion about element A or B, which one is the best, the more beautiful, the more interesting, creative, etc...., it doesn't matter what your answer will be, you can say A, or B, it's the same... but you will help him have a comparison term, and will help to realize what he really want, or like :)
... it's like you are spinning the coin and when you get one of the faces you are disappointed, at least you are closer to the final decision :))
