Blogger, not Fb

I think the day has finally arrived when I'll abandon the dreadful habit of overusing my FB Wall and start posting things on my underused blog instead. You might wonder why I'm so willing to entrust the overpowered G., but then how can I trust someone who openly admitted that he doesn't give a damn about privacy of personal data or copyrights? You might ask, how do I know that G. is in any way better? Well, I don't, but at least they have an almost-perfect browser :P

And on that note, here's something what Sustrans published on Fb to illustrate how easy it is to encourage people to use stairs instead of escalators. It's all about ingenious ideas and bringing fun into our everyday lives. Love them for it! Well done Sweden! :D

PS. OK, so I've posted it on my Wall as well. What can I say - every change comes slowly.

A short story about my country

I thought I'll do a bit of advertising of Polish Art and present this little animation that was an absolute gem of this year's EXPO2010 in Shanghai. It's been created by one of the most visionary Polish animators, Tomek Baginski, whose short animation "The Cathedral" has been nominated for an Oscar in 2003.

The following video is a short overview of the most important events in the history of my beautiful country, Poland. I know that we have the opinion of people constantly dwelling in the past and extremely over-sensitive about our own history, however if you look at the history of our nation, you can hardly blame us.

I've just finished watching it, and as always when going down the historical Memory Lane, I ended up with wet cheeks. Is there something wrong with the state of my nerves or what :P

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy it.

feeling...better...a bit

When you're sick, by definition everything is gloomy, the weather is dodgy (in my case it's actually true) and you are feeling like someone stationed a whole darn artillery in your throat and started shooting. And believe me - it doesn't look like a blitzkrieg to me. More like Brits and Germans in trenches - moving forward a bit, and then three crawls on you belly back .

But sometimes, in a moment of final despair and boredom (though the latter is nto really applicable to me) you start browsing the mighty god of Google and/or F-book, and you come across a little miracle-maker like this:

YouTube - Fatboy Slim - Weapon Of Choice

Are you still sad and gloomy after that? Impossible! :D

Still my throat didn't quite appreciate the amount of laughter mixed with intense coughing that I've just produced.

Well, you can't make everyone happy I suppose :P

To speed up or to slow down?

We are always hearing in media about out society being in a constant frenzy. Running for a meeting/date/film screening/doctor's appointment and so on. When you listen to random people on a street there is this repeating theme of being in a hurry, out of time, being late, behind schedule, overdue, behind time, and so on. It almost seem as if no mater how hard we try, we are doomed to be those couple of minutes late. It would be nice to be able stop in the middle of the overwhelming crowd of people-in-a-hurry and just look at everything in a slow motion. What would we see then?

Some things, however, have to be speed up for us to be able to notice the change.

Enjoy this little BBC production: "Timelapse: speeding up life".

Have a nice Sunday :)

Valeting service for bikes :)

Have you ever heard about valeting service for bikes? Well, I didn't and judging from the state of awareness regarding bikes and what-a-cyclist-needs, I didn't have much hope that such an idea will be successful, let alone arise in the minds of restaurant/bar/pub owners.

However, there was a surprise (and a nice one too) waiting for me on the London Cycle Chic blog this morning. Apparently, on Marleybone High Street a new restaurant has opened its doors nto only to coffee-lovers, but to their bikes as well. So when you arrive on your favorite Poppy, Dutchy of Trek, you will be offered a valeting service in a secure, indoor storage space. And at no additional cost.

No more hassle with finding a parking space for your bike, no more wet bum when there was an accidental shower and your poor bike is soaking wet.

I can only hope that more places, like Cafe Luc, will recognise that a bike is also a vehicle worth providing a good care for.

Chorowisko

No tak, znowu jestem chora: kaszle, pluje, uroczy widok ;) Niby lato, ale co to za lato? Niebo zasmune chmurami, deszcz wisi w powietrzu, a do tego masa roboty w labie i przy kompiee. Ehh wakacji, wakacji, wakacji potrzeba.

Nie lubię smętnej wersji siebie, jakos tak niewygodnie, nienaturalnie sie czuje i szukam zawsze desperacko czegoś co by mnie z tej nastojowej studni wyciągnęło. No i proszę, jak na zawołanie Agusia mi taka bombę podsyła że nie moze sie nie śmiać. I od razu jakoś pogodniej, i jaśniej.

Nieważne czy znasz anime czy nie to ci sie na pewno spodoba:

A że nie może byc "Mahna Mahna" bez Muppetów więc....

Pozdrawiam z łóżka ciężko chorej
