Using packing cubes makes it so much easier to keep your clothes in order when you’re living out of your suitcase for a few days.
Read the full tip:
An object, a cube consisting of black cloth and some sort of wood, standing in one of the stairwells of a large shopping centre.Where it is standing it has no apparent meaning or use and resembles a minimalistic art object in a gallery space.
My brother called it, half jokingly, the black stone of Mecca.Maybe he is not so far from the truth : art is circled around by it's worshippers and spectators as do pelgrims in mecca.in that regard art can be considered a new kind of religion.But a religion not accesible for/to the masses.Countless efforts have been made to take art out of the museum/gallery space and bring it to the masses and all but some have failed.This new kind of religion behaves as a sort of cult of which only its members are initiated in its rites and rules and the intricacies of its language.Is this in order so that the members of this cult can set themselfses apart from these masses ? Distinguish themselves from the cultureless "barbarians" ?
In this new religion the wholy communion is not to consacrate the body of christ, but the touch of money.

SELF PORTRAIT
Like many others in the group I am doing the 365days project so I wanted to try to put a little extra effort into my self portrait for the CWD group. I hope this cuts the grade - I realise that I need to learn so much more about photoshop. I am certain that I make my life much harder than it needs to be and I am not completely happy with the result but I am limited due to my photoshop skills (or lack of them) this is the closest I can get to what I had envisioned.
It might be best to view it large so you can see the hours I spent fiddling in photoshop to get the cube right :) LOL ok not hours but plenty of time.
I guess the classics never go away. I can remember being in high school and messing with these cubes when they were new, now 30+ years later they are still around. Students today have the advantage of taking a photo of the cube and Photoshopping the color to make it look like they solved it, we had to just peel off the stickers and move them! :)

Dash seems to have a good battery, the rest may need a new one. They take CR2032 coin cells.

This is a “Bright” “Stars and Cubes” quilt block. It is made using diamonds and triangles from different kinds of wood, all in their natural colors. There are 108 pieces on this block, 48 diamonds and 60 triangles, all full size. It measures 8 ½” square. To finish them, I use 4 or 5 coats of a clear wiping varnish, rubbed in by hand
The type of wood is listed on the bottom from the center out. On this quilt block the wood is “Purple heart” from Central or South America, “Satinwood” from Brazil, and “Hackberry” “Walnut” and “Oak” from Missouri. The “Purple heart” and “Satinwood” are very bright exotic woods.
On the bottom I signed it, listed the wood, and dated it. After the date, the words “Foot Cut” let you know I made it on a foot powered table saw.
The Cube Houses, or "Kubuswoningen" in Dutch, are one of Rotterdam's most iconic and unique architectural marvels. Designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom in the late 1970s, these innovative houses were conceived as part of an urban development project aimed at creating a "village within a city." Each house is literally a cube tilted at a 45-degree angle, resting on a hexagonal pylon, which gives the illusion that they are balancing on one corner. This striking and unconventional design immediately captures attention and has become a symbol of Rotterdam's progressive and bold approach to urban planning.
Blom's vision was to represent a forest, with each individual cube symbolizing an abstract tree, and the entire complex forming a cohesive "urban forest." The structures are built on a pedestrian bridge above a busy street near the Blaak metro station and the historic Oude Haven, cleverly optimizing public space. The complex consists of 38 small cubes and two larger "super-cubes," all interconnected to form a visually stunning and playful residential area. Their bright yellow color further enhances their distinctive presence against the city's skyline.
Stepping inside a Cube House offers a truly unique living experience. Due to the 45-degree tilt, all the walls and windows are slanted, creating unconventional and dynamic interior spaces. While this might seem challenging, the design cleverly maximizes the usable area within the geometric constraints. Typically, a Cube House has three floors: the ground floor serves as the entrance and storage area within the hexagonal pylon, the first floor houses the living room and an open kitchen, and the second floor contains two bedrooms and a bathroom. The top floor, often a small loft, can be used as a study, guest room, or even a rooftop garden, offering panoramic views of the surroundings.
While most Cube Houses are private residences, one "Show Cube" (Kijk-Kubus) has been opened to the public as a museum, allowing visitors to experience firsthand what it's like to live in such a distinctive home. This offers a fascinating insight into the creative solutions employed for furniture placement and maximizing space in an angled environment. Additionally, one of the larger cubes has been converted into a Stayokay Hostel, providing the unique opportunity for visitors to actually spend a night in these architectural wonders, further cementing their status as a must-see attraction in Rotterdam.
Un "Tentativo di Wallpaper". L'insieme è abbastanza cupo, sinceramente non è il tipo di wallpaper che io userei sul mio desktop, ma ho visto parecchia gente utilizzare wallpaper simili, quindi magari a qualcuno piacerà.
AVVERTENZA: questo wallpaper non si presta ad essere ridimensionato. Guardatelo ed usatelo alle dimensioni reali (1024x768)
Cube used to be Suga Qube. I didn't go in then, and I haven't been in in it's current incarnation. Having a quick scout around on the web, it seems to be advertising itself out to the out of town crowd - stag dos and hen parties, all house music and cocktail bars. I don't think I'm missing out...
