a brand new year, 2004. wow. guess it's gonna be really a strange one... that means the same as it was. hmm :) the end of year means reflecting, but i personally don't have time for it ;) too many plans (especially wicked actions planned with martin wokoun (nice page, right? i'm telling him all the time)), too many things to do. right now thinking about combination: baudrillard, mcluhan, net art, cyberspace... but it seems i should have thought about it much much sooner, as now it's almost late (to write an essay on this topic).
new year's eve - at work i had my coffee made by my boss :) then i visited the dungeon under scala cinema - my dad showed me around. really an interesting place :) and then (with a gift from peter.pea - thanks!) i went to fléda, maybe the best club in brno. house party with balls ;) together with benny and flam and awesome band radium.nfo (where's some webpage of theirs?). and cool djs - overally, nice action. now reading many books, downloading music and such...
so happy new year all :) and as i don't have any pf for you... check this one - i hope marjánka wouldn't mind :) and as for stuff on totem.cz, also have a look on a preview of kombajn's new gallery 'plastic people'. (comment?)

i was about some bigger update - adding various articles and such, but now i have found out, that some previous updates i did not uploaded, and i don't have them here :/ stupid me. overally it's a nice time - cooking, reading crew, marshall mcluhan (člověk, média a elektronická kultura) and perdido street station (nádraží perdido). having fun with all crazy people around... seems it's normal to have a weblog, another from our gang - benny :) he's going to be a celebrity - a photo of him on first page of ny times magazine to appear soon! :) i've been also doing stuff for school - essays, exams etc. looking forward to see whether we make it to berlin, transmediale'04.

so here it is - the promised update. what i have added (all articles are in czech): 1) russians in latvia - an article about difficulties in this wonderful baltic country. about 40% of latvia population are russians, ukrainians and belorussians. lot of them don't speak latvian and therefore are treated as 'non-citizens'. they can't vote, can't be employed by state on higher positions etc. (english info) 2) 'all have turned out well' - an article about the nato summit and how the state smart-asses (ab)used the fear of common people. 3) blogging - a brief introduction into the blog-sphere. 4) fairtrade - a little bit on this interesting topic - how to help farmers in the third world. (english info)
then there's a little poem and an essay - mcluhan cyberspaced (for a course 'critical theory of media'). also a link to ms' crazy netmag obšťastník must be there, as i prepared with him a special issue (my task was to create as strange design as possible)
can't get enough of soulseek. the new album from french group air - walkie talkie, to be in shops in the end of january and i've had it downloaded on 11th. tricky - made in bristol - an album which i'm not able to find in any discography. etc. (comment?)

not to forget... more and more people around began to blog: we have here benny or boop or filip... so i wouldn't have to write anything, and still you would easily find out, what's up with me. exams are behind, i just have to finish some essays... i went to see lord of the rings and it was nice... especially when marjánka provided a special dubbing :) but i can't figure out why someone should think this is a best movie of all times... it's disasterous to look at imdb top250 and see... don't take me wrong, i like it, but there are hundreds of good films, right? listening to keith jarrett: live in köln... brings me into a melankolik mood... another crazy decision - i will soon start another weblog. maybe stranger, more personal. and in czech. too bad, but i cannot play with the english language to that extent i would need for my future "alter.ego" blog. and even if i can, i don't want to. i'm very sorry to all my non-czech friends and readers: i promise i continue here too :) have a nice day.. and if possible, much warmer than we have nowadays :) (comments:2)

this week i was quite ill, but neverthless i keep on fun ;) since today we have here internet at our flat. next week i'm gonna change my office and that means even more net :) and no crappy radio stations, so looking forward to it. febiofest before us, hope to see at least a couple of good films! :) more and more cds, more music... some of it very interesting. ranging from polish hiphop thru czech folk to swedish elektronik :) unfortunately no transmediale... and as for the announced blog in czech: adamm.bloguje.cz is the right place... but it's not polished yet ;) i promise a nicer design in a while...
