- Warsaw photo log #3: watching the time
Long story short: this was a happening, which took place in the main hall of the building of Warsaw Stock Market. It was a part of series of events by one of capitals theaters.

The Stock Market event was several people building a clock 12 meters wide and 4 meters high, which was completely manual. To keep the clock running for twelve hours (midday till 00:00) they had to make 805 changes to the construction.
- Warsaw photo log #2: large scale estate
This is the entry hall to the large scale estate my parents live in. The building is 5 entrances long and 12 stories high. Each entrance gives access to 3 flats per floor, so in total it’s 180 flats in one building. Something a bit like this.

Unfortunately post-war in this instance lasted till early 1990s.

If you’re a geek or if you don’t want to leave the house yet still want to get something nice as a Christmas gift for a female human being this is all you need
- digitalize
it is really tough to convert people from one mind set to the other (as usual). For which reason I decided to cut back on preaching and get on with the practice. Enter digitalize - which will be a new series of interviews and reports looking into how creative industries utilise (or not) digital media and the Internet.
- Stephen Fry is listening to YOU
Actually all this is to soften the revelation that I’ve crossed onto the dark side and got an account on Twitter. And I refuse to excuse myself. And I think twitterfon is a really good app for my proprietary-freedom-hating iPod touch, ha! I am such a joinr….
