University of North Texas (UNT) student John Bramblitt paints beautiful works of art in vivid colors, despite the fact that he’s been blind for years.
See the videoreport, dedicated to John Bramblitt (flash youtube video):
Amazing man, amazing spirit! :-)

I drink my Jacobs Cronat Gold coffee now (mmmmh…), with honey and cream, and think how beautiful Life is:)
My experiment is over - the week without coffee, black and green tea, beer, wine, chocolate and other things, which contain caffeine, tanine and alcohol:)
And here come the long-awaited results from this experiment:
I may repeat the experiment, one day. But now…
…I plan to have some crispy potato chips tonight (or fried potatos), together with some nice, cold beer, mmmmh;-)
First, happy St. Valentine’s day to everyone;-)
Sorry for the dark accompanying image, but I couldn’t restrain myself - this artist (a recent discovery of Ani’s, btw) brought me to tears from laughing with his black humour, but maybe my it’s just due to my fatigue (too much work lately), the tries of the French flu to get hold of me a second time this winter, and my slightly dark mood…
We exchanged already a couple of presents with Ani (including a very interesting book by Bernard Werber) and plan to have a great evening, supper and all and pondering upon the meaning of the Universe over a cup of orange juice (the reason being my recent vow for no caffeine/wine/tanine/beer for one week;-)
I avow, that this post by the famous photographer Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir (no, don’t ask me to pronounce this Icelandic name!:-) inspired me… And also a question on the same subject, which my wife asked me a few days ago:
How this is done? And this?
Can a normal digital camera be used for this purpose?
Can the technique be reproduced using Macromedia Fireworks?
So, here’s the answer:
It could be done using a variety of methods.
Yes.
Yes.
The results are shown above [click on the thumbnail to see the image in full size]:-)
This is it - short and sweet. It’s me in the office today, shot by my small Pentax Optio S40 digital camera. And this is me, again… although, my second me is holding a knife and looks a bit evil;-)
If there’s interest, I may try to write a tutorial on it:-)
A post on Work/Life balance by Ani got me thinking…
What is my balance at the moment?
The test was quickly made, I didn’t think much on every question, just followed my intuition. After 1 or two minutes the results appeared:
This number showed today my bike computer, under Total Odometer Distance.
It means, I made 17′628 km, or almost 11′000 miles, in approx. 4 years, since I own a bicycle.
Is this too much or too less?
Because six innocent Bulgarian medical workers were sentenced to death on 19 December by the Benghazi Criminal Court.
Because I do not know, what else I could do, other than spread the word.
