2 Comments Published by ThinkaGeek on Monday, January 30, 2006 at Monday, January 30, 2006.The idea is simple: to try and make $1m (US) by selling 1,000,000 pixels for $1 each. Hence, 'The Million Dollar Homepage". The main motivation for doing this is to pay for my degree studies, because I don't like the idea of graduatingwith a huge student debt. I know people who are paying off student loans 15-20
years after they graduated. Not a nice thought!

Anyway i think their live performance was good. I have talked to Joahn 2 for the development of their web site . I actually did not have the time to get involved with this project but i will try to get some the next months.I really enjoy listening my fav track "cheap as art " live.
This track is also aris favourite and of course the music and the lyrics where composed from Aris.
Other bands were there i really enjoy the live of cyanna . These guys are good but after a while my ears where exchausted . I think i am getting old for these kind of experiences :) I left the spot in order to drink a beer at POP. A relaxed weekend ends...
Try to ....

2 Comments Published by ThinkaGeek on Thursday, January 26, 2006 at Thursday, January 26, 2006.I really love their 3D Development . This guys are the top (speaking of me) 3D developers ever bee(r)n . I really fancy their work...Actually to tell you the truth i have developed some 3d application in the past ( Uni times ) but not so smooth and elegance like those models that they construct.
well, Pixar is involved on a new project named as The Cars. We are talking about 3D cartoon oriented models that rox . well check their new project here .It will published to your local cinemas this summer .
Ps The picture is from the oscar awarded short film "birds".

0 Comments Published by ThinkaGeek on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 at Wednesday, January 25, 2006.Its snowing outside even here @ the center of Athens. I did not make it to go to work today. its really cold and outside. Ok, so no work today i will try to burn some cds in order to listen into my micro super hi fi. I have also downloaded a game that i used to play when i was a student for my Msc at UK. Transport tycoon was one and remains one of my favourite games ever . I really love Tetris and Snowbros but i remember my self that i was really addicted with this game .
Anyway, now about the weather now . I have one thing to say . I stopped watching TV and I started to feel the heat. My mother from Rhodes have already called me 5 times telling me to stay at home and not to go out . When i asked her why do you say that? she replied ...Well Xatzinikolaou said on the news that its going to be the worst winter day ever.....
Virtual Summertime ....

Ps: Stereo Mcs in the picture ......
This weekend was really interesting... My brother came from Rhodes in order to visit me . I was really happy when i saw him las friday. Well ok i was a bit worried because he was asking question like "Re Taso , Marousi and Glifada are close ? " F@ck....
Ok , we had a great time here @ Athens . WE started from Ermou and Omonoia looking for A Fokas Store because he had a gift -cheque from the company he is working . I was really exchausted and it was only the start. i told him that firstly we should go to drink a cup of coffee and then move on . We went together at The Polis @ Penipistimiou . He was really excited with this place(I thank Kosti for that) . He told me "these are the places that i want you to take me for a coffee " . The last time he was here we went into POP bar and he was bored and tired being pushed from other labelled as alter ppl. I am going to talk you about my brother later on .
We finished our trip to the MediaMarkt @ Kifisias . I was really happy we went there (at the end ) because i buyed a new micro stereo system for my place here . I Have my pc but sometimes i am quite bored to open it to listen music thats why i buyed. It is not expensive , i got it for 60 euros and it plays mp3z 22. I am really happy that i made this buy. So we have a new member at the family again named as my new LG Mini sound system . Now we are 4 of us at the house ( my beloved C-fish, MY DSL line , MY micro LG and finally me ) .they are alive and kicking :P
Now let me talk you about my brother. He is really really really good looking guy and he prefers wearing suits and good looking clothes and i love him . So try to think me every time i go for a visit down at Rhodes . My mother always complain that i should dress more like a human "rhodian " being and always says to me "Look what your brother wears you should dress like him and not going out like a punk" . We always had a fight about this subject since i was at high school .. anyway ..mothers ..
I was Wondering .....
0 Comments Published by ThinkaGeek on Thursday, January 19, 2006 at Thursday, January 19, 2006.Yesterday my DSL line was finally connected. Actually it was sync from last sunday but to say the truth these guys @ HOL are really really stupid. I was lucky that i read in the manual some instructions regarding my router and my DSL Line. I am downloading everyday everytime and the pc at home is now on fire . I saw some web friends yesterday on MSN that i have not seen for a long time.
Now i was wondering yesterday .. Ok now i have my DSL at home that means that socializing in the real world maybe will be a boring situation. now that means that i prefer staying at home and develop things rather than going out. I think that this will also have an affect on my lovelife. I was labelled from all my x-gfs as a "weird" guy now i will also be labelled as the DSL Lover. Ok , but to tell you the truth i will try to go out and check my friends every weekend . So , say hi to my member of my family here at athens ..MY DSL line ...
Say hello to my new DSL @ home

4 Comments Published by ThinkaGeek on Tuesday, January 17, 2006 at Tuesday, January 17, 2006.Today is his last day here in Athens and at night he is travelling with the local ship to Heraklio. I am happy that he is moving to the place he wants rather being here but i will miss his company .anyway
Once he had asked me when we went together at the port when Dikaia was leaving ; "well i have noticed that you do not cry when someone leaves you . My family and friends every time i left Crete they were crying like was the first time .... " I was really wondering about the specific subject and i think now after few months i am ready to answer.
Well people that i really fancy their company and i really enjoy being with them i really dont feel sad when they are leaving because i know that in the near future i will try for sure to look for them and find them in their spot. So a goodbye its not really a goodbye but rather a commitment to c each other in the near future . That;s it :)
Monday, Monday, Monday....

Zamanfou (taken from wikipedia )
0 Comments Published by ThinkaGeek on Thursday, January 12, 2006 at Thursday, January 12, 2006.The term is derived from the French phrase "je m'en fous" (foutre), which can be translated as "I don't care/I don't give a damn/I couldn't care less". The main idea behind this phenomenon is the perseverance and prioritization of the benefits for oneself.
Characteristics
The idea that brought Zamanfou about was Zen-like: if something bothers you and you cannot do anything about it, there is no point of stressing over it, so instead, you should just ignore it; Forget your stress and consciously disregard the shoddy state of the Greek society and try to have a good time, with what you have. Make lemonade with your lemons.
Subscribers to this ideology use a characteristic phrase: "Write everything on your testicles" as is the literal translation from Greek. Other interesting relevant Greek phrases are "στον πούτσο μου" or "στ'αρχίδια μου. In case you don't want to use curse words, you can convert the original phrase to "στα τέτοια μου", implying your testicles. In chatrooms, there are some characters that express the above, helping avoid using the actual curse words. For example the testicles are abbreviated as @@ ("στα @@ μου" instead of "στ' αρχίδια μου").
There is the "\/" string that describes a hand gesture (see below). In the Greek culture, writing someone at yourtesticles was and is supposed to be a gesture of utter contempt for the person you are referring to.
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
3 Comments Published by ThinkaGeek on Tuesday, January 10, 2006 at Tuesday, January 10, 2006.This album came at my hard disk at the first week of the year. I actually was astonished by their music. It was the first complete album in which I did not push the next button even once. The whole album rox and has everything from guitars to synth rythm that sometimes makes you wanna jump over your body and sometimes makes you think that music could really relax your body and brain 2.
If you have a fast line just download it; if not wait until 23 of jan when finally will be published at your local music store. Their name is unique Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and their debut album is labelled with the same name .
