Still wanna be spaceman!

I realized that I still wanna be spaceman!
Better to move this video to 1:50 to see the main part.






Watching the video about part of the rocket falling down to Earth, I also realized how much space rubbish is around our planet! Unbelievable! This week is my eco-week and I am all the time thinking about nature, water, trees, pollution, planet, everything around me.


Cause right now small groups of people are making choices that will determine the direction of my future. The irony is that many of these people don't even realize what they are doing and what is the value of their choices today for tomorrow.

Generation whY?

I've read a lot about Generation Y. Here are some characteristics of US:

  • born between 1978 and 1994 (dates are approximate for different countries)
  • they are children of the web and globalization (they are the first one who started to use web 2.0)
  • they are well-educated, well-informed, motivated and flexible
  • they are ambitious and individualistic
  • they are very different from Gen X and Baby-boomers
  • they are citizens of the world
  • they ask questions

whY? Generation whY? what is the role of US?

And I am asking this question as a person who started to face real adult life, who are listening to the lie-news, who is watching those money-oriented economy, who is watching pollution and poisoning, who notice low level of life of 75% of people in the country, who is facing those value conflicts between generations.

Those question we asked all the time: what will be the world in 2020, 2030 2040?
I feel that now I need my own answer to them and this answer should be specific.

whY? 
Cause it's already our time. Our time in business, economy, media, social media, social sphere, arts.
Cause time is too short? 
GEN whY?

In a world where the only constant is change...

In a world where the only constant is change, a printed book is a frozen memory of a moment in time. It holds our thoughts, plans, ideas and fears from a time that has passed and helps us remember how things once were...
It is something like fantasmagoria performance in the era of cinema, like electricity-eating lamps in the save-the-energy era, like fast food in health club. Isn't it?
A book is something we will dust off one day, browse and remember the good and old days...


Some of us are trying to save energy and forests, some of us take care of pollution around and water consumption. From the one hand printing books is an industry where people are making money and cutting trees, from the other hand, book is something so close, so familiar, so part of history, that you think you can not exchange with computer analog.
With good thought I plan to plant a tree for every book I buy, with good thought I want people to continue writing books and to make them in both electronic and real versions.

Which book are you reading now?

Knowledge management tool can be interactive?

I understood that mostly I use my blog for knowledge management.
First of all I found a reason for it- among all the social media channels (Twitter, Facebook, vkontakte, Gmail, Issuu), it is probably the only thing, where I really can store the story of each сreature I did.

And from another hand, I also understand, that probably I am content-creator- not promoter!
Thats why this blog is still storage of things, it is not interactive and there are so few readers...

One of the last things I did was My Portfolio of works, graphical works. May be you have already seen this for 10 times. But I decided to so something formal as CV, which you need to have.

Here it is !

Receipt of the addiction

Addicted

How often did you feel that you are addicted to something/someone.

Feeling, that you want something more and more, someone more and more...
And when you don't have it, you start to feel so bad, like demolition of those who are drug-addicted.

In Yoga they say, that the less addicted you are to something, the more freedom you have.

My last addiction is Ginger Drink! Yoga receipt, by the way!

I boil some lemon+orange+ginger+honey for some minutes and then receive the most beautiful and tasty drink ever!

Would like to share this experience of making and drinking it with my friends who far from me right now.

Kisses to all of you! And if you are getting cold, Please, drink it!

My Life is in My Sketchbook


I also like to draw. And to collect things. I love glue and colorful markers- in Russia we call them 'flomasters'. So i put everything together and it seems to be endless process. As life is.



Have a look at my Sketchbook # 2.
