Things I read this week

Mar 16, 2008 in technology, news, science, fun, gagdets, Entertainment

Thruvision - a camera that can see under your clothes. Nope, you can’t see what you are thinking about. This camera can be used to see objects under your clothes: guns, knifes, explosives, etc. Who needs Superman now?


Death Star - Real Star Wars Death Star can reach us in 2012. Yes, we can be destroyed by this gammaray explosion. Help us Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re our only hope…

Space, the final frontier, for crips’ ads - The Earth is not enough… now we are selling crisps for Aliens, at least Doritos is. They will send an ad to a solar system 42 light years away from Earth with planets that orbit its star “47 Ursae Majoris”.

Lost in the Time Loop Theory - Yes, another theory for Lost, but this time, although is the craziest theory ever, it makes a lot of sense for me… Am I going crazy?

A book I recommend for your internal nerd redemption: Nerds: Who They Are and Why We Need More of Them- Yes, I am nerd and I’m not ashame of that!

Create Your Own Logo

Nov 25, 2007 in technology, internet, gagdets, web 2.0, Entertainment, review

Logo Design is commonly believed to be one of the most important areas in graphic design, thus making it the most difficult to perfect. The logo, or brand, is not just an image, it is the embodiment of an organization. Because logos are meant to represent companies and foster recognition by consumers it is counter productive to redesign logos often.

You’ve already got the talent. Your brand got the drive. All you need is a strong brand identity to show them you mean business. But, create a logo is expensive, and sometimes is hard to express your ideas to someone else.

So, why no try to design a logo myself? Yes, you can do that, to test drive the logo experience, visit LogoYes, a company that provides the tool to Do It Yourself Logo Design, a way to try before you buy. It’s a tool to help you to create your professional logo without any experience.

It’s easy to use, you just need to follow 5 steps:

  • Choose your image
  • Select your industry
  • Find your symbol
  • Type your company name
  • Define the layout

And that is it! Try it!
