Ricky Gervais Tells A Story About How He Learned To Write

"And this morning? I am Walter White. Arrogant. Conceited. Selfish. Entitled. Looking for ways to blame everything and everyone but myself, even though it is perfectly clear the situation I find myself in is of my own making. And here's the worst part: I'm still naive enough to believe I can attain some level of redemption."

- Damon Lindelof

Some days are better. These days you forget all your problems. But then there are those other days. And today is one of them.

How to Manage Client Feedback for Designers from Framebench

how would you like your design?

Käisin eelmisel nädalal ühes firmas eksprompt töövestlusel. Kutsuti ja mõtlesin, et miks pagan mitte. Raha oleks nagu tarvis.

Ühesõnaga oleks nad valmis mulle ka koheselt tööd pakkuma. Samas, mida kauem me vestlesime, seda selgemaks sai, mida minult seal firmas (väidetavalt) oodataks. Ja sidrun muutus aina hapumaks.

Tegemist on põhimõtteliselt kujundusbürooga, mille peamiseks ülesandeks on trükiste ja kodulehtede küljendamine ja kujundamine. Ent kogu jutust jäi mul mulje, et firma prioriteet on kiirus - võimalikult kiiresti kliendile mingi asi kokku ja trükikotta. Selline puusalt tulistamine, kiiresti ja lohakalt.

Õigupoolest isegi mitte lohakalt, aga kiirus on see, mida firmas enim hinnatakse ning ma olen näinud, milliseid tulemusi see toodab. Mitte, et tüübid ei teeks tingimusi arvestades ägedat tööd, aga saate aru küll. Ja mulle on põhimõtteliselt juba vastumeelne sellesse panustada, sest maailmas on niigi palju halba disaini. Ja see ei ole see, millega ma tegeleda tahaks. Lisaks on see töö üheksast kuueni ja no fuck that shit.

Ning ilmselgelt lõin ma süldiks ja võtsin vastu proovitöö - peamiselt selleks, et omi võimeid testida ja saada veidi paremat aimu töö iseloomust. Ja nüüd pillan ma sellega ka palli, sest ma ei suuda endale selgeks teha, miks ma seda tegema peaks.

K.Flay - We Hate Everyone

like a virgin

that's exactly how it felt like.

nevermind, I'll find someone like you

What happened in my life in the last week:

1) My girlfriend found a new guy. So that's that, then. 

2) My roommate will move out soon. Got a better offer. No hard feelings.

3) Got offered yet another job opportunity. I wish I hadn't. 

4) Completed a tiny design project, congratulated myself, procrastinated, still not finished. 

5) Realised some of my friends are unwittingly just using me. And I am letting them, for whatever reasons. 

6) Failed to properly deliver another urgent design project. Simple project.

7) Skipped school. On the second week. Great job. 

So yeah.

...

mis sellest, kui palju segavad su käitumist tunded,
tegelikult sõbrannast jätkubki sulle,
ja eks sõprus ongi nagu täiuslik suhe -
kuni ta leiab kellegi, veab, kui too uus kutt
lubab öelda sulle veel lihtsalt heia heia teregi
igatahes pole terel koma ees,
kuigi neiu tõotab su südames edasi olla see-eest
pole sõber talle enam iial nii kallis, kui oma mees

- Jarek Kasar

Odavamad Movi alternatiivid

Umbes neli kuud tagasi esitles Vincent Laforet nimeline auhinnatud fotograaf uut kaamera stabiliseerimissüsteemi MōVI M10, mis üleöö tundus muutis filmimaastikku ning tõi Ultimate Arm'i videokvaliteedi kättesaadavaks kõigile, kasutades selleks põhimõtteliselt quadkopteritelt tuntud gürostabiliseerimist. Mis eristab movi tavalistest gimbalitest on just 3-axis stabiliseerimine ja tundlike ja kärmete brushless mootorite kasutamine. Hoolimata populaarsusest on asja levikut siiani piiranud selle krõbe hind - umbkaudu 15,000 dollarit.

Seega ilmselgelt on välja hakanud lekkima trobikond odavamaid koopiaid, millega on võimalik saavutada sarnaseid tulemusi.

Update 3 (Märts 2015):
CAME-7800 $1298 (arvustus)
AllSteady 6 PRO $1999

Update 2: DJI Ronin 3-Axis Brushless Gimbal Stabilizer nüüd $2999

Update: SIIN on veel 7 erinevat varianti. Ja SIIN on veel mõned.

Running away

Today I found myself at crossroads. On one side was the new and interesting and on the other was old and familiar. And I found myself geniuinely confused as of what to do.

So I ran.

Not because I wanted to, but because it was the only thing I knew...


...I never want to be that person again who runs.

So many reasons...

In a piss-poor attempt of cheering myself up over my shambling relationship with the best friend I´ve ever had, I decided to list some potential things that might get slightly better after a horrible and disgraceful break-up.

1) more time for your own shit, whatever it is

2) exploring unknown territory without repercussions

3) not having to take into account other persons feelings/thoughts/schedule

4) financial instability

5) lonerism

I'm all out now. That's all I've got.

cry me a mountain

Mitte, et see erilise üllatusena peaks tulema, aga asjad minu ja mu elukaaslase vahel pole hästi.

Olen äraootaval seisukohal.

A Never-Ending Tale of Glorious Fuck-Ups

I never seem to stop fucking up. And when I try, I fuck up even more. And It's not even like the Universe is against me, throwing sticks and stones on my pathway, no.

It's the things that I do, myself.

*I've said some horrible things recently. And by some, I mean all of them.
