pasisnaubaudavom
šiemet žiemos poilsiui pasirinkom italiją – livigno. ten jau tikriausiai visa lietuva yra gėrusi, bet mums tai buvo dar nebandyti šlaitai. viskas labai patiko: miestukas, infrastruktūra, kalnai. tiek sniego dar neteko matyti gyvenime. miestelis yra slėnyje tarp dviejų kalnų, bet vieną šlaitą aplankiau tik vienąkart, nes kitomis dienomis jis buvo aptrauktas rūko. labai patogu – kai vienoje pusėje blogas oras, yra šiek tiek šansų, kad kitas kalnas bus giedresnis. vieną dieną aplankėm gretimą miestuką – bormio, kurio trasos man labai patiko.
šiemet ant kalno turėjom daug muilinių, todėl prisirinko pilnas dvd foto ir video medžiagos. dienomis gamindavom kadrus, o vakarais montuodavom filmukus. montuoti filmukus yra labai evil darbas, bet kažkas jį turi padaryti, nes peržiūrinėti šimtą neapkarpytų filmukų irgi evil užsiėmimas. niekaip negaliu į vimeo užuploadinti didžiausio savo masterpyso, nes 320mb per naktį vis nušoka – laikas pasikeisti savo wireless routerį.
čia linksmiausias iš visų filmukų. mūsų neįleido į snowparką, tai tramplinus radom trasos pakraštyje. gal ir gerai, nes po šios treniruotės snowparke buvo demonstruojamas visai kitas lygis ;]
poilsis kalnuose dalykas visiskai TITTS!
o filmukas visiskai ROFLCOPTER!
(:
gražiausiai tai tam oranžiniam griuvikui išejo!

Holy crap this is an awesome skate video.
Are you up for a thought experiment? What if we chose to regard the 2,973 innocents killed in the atrocities of 9/11 not as victims but as democratic martyrs, “sacrifices on the altar of freedom”? In other words, what if we decided that a certain baseline vulnerability to terrorism is part of the price of the American idea? And, thus, that ours is a generation of Americans called to make great sacrifices in order to preserve our democratic way of life—sacrifices not just of our soldiers and money but of our personal safety and comfort?
In still other words, what if we chose to accept the fact that every few years, despite all reasonable precautions, some hundreds or thousands of us may die in the sort of ghastly terrorist attack that a democratic republic cannot 100-percent protect itself from without subverting the very principles that make it worth protecting?

The story goes that a man was upset that his neighbor kids would always play on his lawn and damage it. So he decided to pay each child to play on his lawn. The surprised kids gladly accepted. After a few days the man told them that he could only afford to pay them half of the initial rate. The kids accepted this reduced rate but were less then enthusiastic. After a few more days the man cut his pay to almost nothing and the children were so upset that they left, vowing never to play on his lawn again unless he increased their pay. Problem solved.
Why pay for performance does not work and may impair patient care
Fascinating. As you dive deeper and deeper into what makes a good doctor, it starts looking like we’ll never know. However, I do believe that deinstitutionalizing medicine and bringing back the concept of the neighborhood doctor would do wonders in making people “feel” like they’ve got a good doctor. It’s just a hunch, but I believe in the therapeutic power of good relationships.
The vast majority of doctors are average and above. We should really be worrying about making the bottom rung doctors average doctors.

Nina Simone - I Put A Spell On You (MiMOSA Remix)
There’s never been anything like what Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman are proposing for their adaptation of Stephen King’s Dark Tower: a television show that crosses over with three movies, using the same cast for both. Can this even work?
Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman’s Dark Tower adaptation: a totally insane mix of TV and movies
That sounds badass. Although I’m not a huge Dark Tower fan, I’d certainly be interested in this kind of project.

(i’m certain i have uploaded this song before, but i cannot find it on my tumblr, so it must be my memory making up lies)
But how did, for example, Linux make its way to China? The story that should be told more often is that Helsinki University’s doctoral student Dr. Gong Min upon returning to China in 1996 had 20 diskettes in his luggage containing that moment’s version of Linux. Shortly after that first Linux distro (collection of software) was available in China.

New Amazon EC2 Micro Instances - New, Low Cost Option for Low Throughput Applications
currently reserved instance of t1.micro for 1 year costs 54$. i don’t know the performance characteristics of t1.micro, but this could be cheaper/better than shared hosting for some problems.
