Business cards for a film director

I just love these... the way it plays with camera focus and light...

Schiller - Tag Und Nacht

Brilliant new album by Schiller called "Tag Und Nacht"... Me and Mohsin are big fans of Schiller's music it is simply like Enigma on another level... Moshin messaged me on GTalk at 3:00 am in the morning... and I checked it out it is simply amazing... he mostly combines sounds from different parts of the world into his music... this time some more influences of eastern sounds... the track Berlin Bombay is too good... you almost feel like doing bhangra in a spiritual way... and yes he is a German!

Money Saver

This would be quite surprising to hear this from me
but I speak the right.

Don’t buy an Apple computer for the next 2 years.

The reason?

Apples decision to get its processors from Intel.

This means that for an Apple to be efficient in
running its systems both hardware and software would
undergo changes and lots of things will be goner,
which have so far been a part of Apple pre-Intel.

Buying the reliable products that Apple makes is
always good but what good is the reliability when your
machine goes void after 2 years? Since all new OS will
be designed to work with Intel the computers available
now with IBM chips will we obsolete.


An apple a day keeps the doctor away but this time
around
Abstinence from buying for 2 years an apple will keep
your money at bay

Message for Apple INC.
Being the freebie addict I am >>Oh Marketing people of
Apple, I will remove this post if you decide to give
me a piece of computing hardware for free. This post
spells big danger for your Christmas sales.

Sufism

For the final project here at Vancouver Film School. I am working on the complex topic of "Sufism"... currently the idea is to design a primer interactive website for seeking visitors... it is going to introduce Sufism, provide some insight into the teachings of Sufi Poets and Philosophers and some further exploration paths for people to follow... recommended publications...
It is just going to be an enlightning invitation to all to get inspired to seek more knowledge about the world they live in and in a way I want to address my generation who is particularly a victim of media... and only understands what is given... so it is one small attempt towards opening their hearts towards the journey of the self.
