logcomm on entry 20031114181659 14/11/2003 back on track i have to share some tips - i read czes³aw milosz's essay 'the captive mind' (zotroèenŭ duch in czech) - a study on why some of great polish authors became supporters of stalinism. i think it makes it for a counterpoint with fiction anti-utopias (orwell, huxley) - as this was 'just facts'. recently i was wondering about how many books i would like to get through - reading texts for my courses 'unemployement as a social problem' (ulrich beck: the brave new world of work), 'critic theory of media' (christopher lasch: the narcissistic personality of our time; theodor adorno: the culture industry) or 'media, globalization and the national identity' (benedict anderson: imagined communities). i passed the test on csfd (after rating 200 films) and now i can add comments, which is really nice - i'm quite keen on it. next week i'm going to see good bye, lenin, a german comedy. and i shouldn't forget about the music! a couple of completly different albums: hard, but funny elixir - music, mathematic, magic. or softly swinging royksöpp - melody am. sun is shining, the cold breeze flows and i simply smile. the colours glitter, cats living next to our house walk slowly to show that it's their area and you're not more than a visitor, worth only because of bringing food. on monday, i found (via svetlo) a game - create your 'south park like' portret. it's very easy and the result is breathtaking - it moved the world of czech bloggers, you can see their gallery (i'm there too). i collected pictures of my schoolmates, and i'll put a gallery of my own soon. during the summer plenty of czech blogs has appeared. the long-awaited blog mania infected .cz - after many others, i've tried to contributed - have a look on an article i've written for magazine 'konec koncù' (ex bariéry). nowadays there's more than 1000 czech blogs, most of them of course bullshit. i'm about putting up a little page, list of blogs i visit regularly (plus some short description). some projects waiting in the queue - a webpage for kombajn, a special edition of obastník (a weird webmag edited by michal s.), a travel diary from slovenia (june, with marjánka). some not completly clear ideas about my own page and some redesigning - and this time using tableless design - pure css! but i have to learn it first :] and also serious stuff: with martin w. we decided to start our academic careers ;) using our faculty media lab as a base, organizing a conferation. mr. koĝínek, the man in charge of digital media on our faculty celebrated his 33th birthday, we've bought him a cake - it was perfect to see how surprised he was :] sorry, comments are disabled! |
