Is it too late to jump on the Twitter bandwagon?

Due to Twitterrific, a nice little Mac app, I decided to make some use of my Twitter account.

So if anyone wants to stalk me and know what I do at all times, by all means, feel free to try my Twitter page.

I got myself a treat: In order to backup my PC and Macbook, I’ve bought an external LaCie hard drive, designed by F.A. Porsche.

I got the USB 2.0, 320Gb version for about 110 euros, not a bad price for Greece.

In the LaCie website and on its box it looks kinda enormous, but it really isn’t. It’s nice and sleek and small. To be frank, I didn’t really drop dead due to its design, but it’s elegant and subtle enough to be on my desk on all times. I’ve placed it vertically to minimize the space required, and switch it on only when I want to move something to it (mainly because of the noise).

My 100GB PC disk took about 2 days (!) to transfer, but mainly because I haven’t flashed my BIOS to support USB 2.0 (yes, I have an aging PC, but after the format it’s almost blazing fast).

All in all, it’s a nice, sleek gadget, well worth its money.

Then by all means check this excellent article by the flawless Digital Web Magazine.

Amazing insight from a redesign well executed. Highly inspiring.

If you’re a web designer, chances are that you already know all about Smashing Magazine. If you don’t know zilch, it’s a great place that gathers the freshest design ideas from around the Web and features them in nicely composed articles.

On 13rd March, an article named “Inspire Yourself: 58 Creative Logos” was posted there. Guess what: the Pathfinder logo was featured. Proof:

Quite an accomplishment for our beloved portal.

Foolish, foolish memes. You must love them.

After a tiring day (and an even more tiring night) I give you my 7 favourite movies of all times..

• Lord of the Rings, the trilogy. Hands on, the most epic fantasy trilogy ever. It does so much justice to the book it’s a shame.
• Hero, because I’m a huge Zhang Yimou fan. I liked House of the Flying Daggers too, but Hero holds a special place in my heart.
• Amélie. The most bittersweet movie ever invented.
• Romeo + Juliet, because a girl must have at least one Leonardo DiCaprio crush.
• Matrix I, which was my entry point to cyberpunk.
• The Godfather, because nothing says “good morning” better than a severed horse head.
• 300. Because it kicks so much ass it’s illegal.

Honorable mentions: Memento. Fight Club. Spirited Away.

Blame Mark.

I tag Maria and Svelon and whoever wants to continue this.
