Since my last post about a nice-desk-collection was back in november, I thought I should get something up again. Here are 3 lists with a sum of 45 awesome desks.

But at times, I wonder if it isn’t just the next fad. It’s certainly partly a backlash to the personal productivity movement, with GTD at the centre. But maybe it’s also the new GTD. Instead of doing work, people are still tinkering. But now they do so under the guise of ‘reducing’ or ‘simplifying’.
I think he is right. A certain amount of complicity is OK and I will go into deeper thoughts about this soon but for now I agree 100% with Chris. Everything simple does not mean you get more done. Sometimes personally I get stuck in getting everything simpler and than get nothing done in the end!
How does a photographer evolves? What changes over time, how does he take pictures and how does a photographer think about his own work?
Someone tried to answer that question and showes his results in a graph.
A — not so sexy designed — little tool to get the best DNS Server near your home!
Are you a power-user with 5 minutes to spare? Do you want a faster internet experience?
Try out namebench. It hunts down the fastest DNS servers available for your computer to use. namebench runs a fair and thorough benchmark using your web browser history, tcpdump output, or standardized datasets in order to provide an individualized recommendation.
Try namebench, my new DNS is about 20% faster than the one I used before!
To help everyone — from occasional viewers to regular submitters — reflect on their own experiences with new clarity.
If you are photography savvy like I am, you probably will love that site and the lovely photographs at it! Have a look and be inspired.
I absolutely love the cave style subway! Thats art in bit.
But will it be open or closed? I shudder to think of OS X (or it’s future derivative) as closed, when it’s the third party ecosystem that brings me the most enjoyment on this platform. And this ecosystem is a result of the openness of the OS.
The main problem I have with the iPat is that Apple is closing its OS’s. I hope that they never think about closing Mac OS X as much as the iPHone OS!
Overall, I’m left with the impression that this is not the end destination for Apple, but just another step on the way. Like the iPhone, the iPad is just the next step in Apple’s plan to be the digital hub in the home and the office.
A single idea can build cities.
An idea can transform the world,
and re-write all the rules.

I think some rules everybody should have! Not always written but think bout it! I like to write mine down. The once below are from Craig Mod and I can not say I do anything different (but I also use a tripod for self-portrait photographs cause it is hard to handle that without and I have one flash which I like to use)
- RAW only. JPEG quality is irrelevant because it seems insane to shoot anything but RAW. I’m shooting for documentary and archival purposes, as I think we all should.
- Mainly aperture priority.
- Mostly Auto Focus because things move quickly in real life.
- Everything handheld. Night shots with a tripod.
- No flash. Almost always available light.
- Edit. Edit. Edit. And post-process. I spend tons of time in Lightroom editing and filtering images — trying to find thematic threads — and preforming ‘standard’ darkroom post-processing.

Being a person who read just a few books a year and who has read non — maybe one — per year over the past 2 years (2009 not included) I am very interested in things about reading now. I started to read more and in 2009 I finished 10 books — blogs, magazines and newspaper not included!
I just found an interesting read about Ways of Reading.
