1.000.000 pixels =1.000.000 $

I think this guy had this brilliant idea. I have 1.000.000 pixels if i charge every pixel for 1$ i could get my million in a while . The co-developers at Vf were astonished from this idea. well this guy is only 21 years old and needed some cash in order to go to the university. so He thought this idea is cool and so he got 1 million dollars in less than a year. As he is saying at his site :

The idea is simple: to try and make $1m (US) by selling 1,000,000 pixels for $1 each. Hence, 'The Million Dollar Homepage". The main motivation for doing this is to pay for my degree studies, because I don't like the idea of graduatingwith a huge student debt. I know people who are paying off student loans 15-20
years after they graduated. Not a nice thought!
All the pixels have been sold by now ... please check his site.

This track is also aris favourite and of course the music and the lyrics where composed from Aris.

Ok, so no work today i will try to burn some cds in order to listen into my micro super hi fi. I have also downloaded a game that i used to play when i was a student for my Msc at UK.

Anyway, now about the weather now . I have one thing to say . I stopped watching TV and I started to feel the heat. My mother from Rhodes have already called me 5 times telling me to stay at home and not to go out .

Weeeeeeeeek-end feedback

Hello my beloved bloggers .
This weekend was really interesting... My brother came from Rhodes in order to visit me . I was really happy when i saw him las friday. Well ok i was a bit worried because he was asking question like "Re Taso , Marousi and Glifada are close ? " F@ck....

Ok , we had a great time here @ Athens . WE started from Ermou and Omonoia looking for A Fokas Store because he had a gift -cheque from the company he is working . I was really exchausted and it was only the start. i told him that firstly we should go to drink a cup of coffee and then move on . We went together at The Polis @ Penipistimiou . He was really excited with this place(I thank Kosti for that) . He told me "these are the places that i want you to take me for a coffee " . The last time he was here we went into POP bar and he was bored and tired being pushed from other labelled as alter ppl. I am going to talk you about my brother later on .
We finished our trip to the MediaMarkt @ Kifisias . I was really happy we went there (at the end ) because i buyed a new micro stereo system for my place here . I Have my pc but sometimes i am quite bored to open it to listen music thats why i buyed. It is not expensive , i got it for 60 euros and it plays mp3z 22. I am really happy that i made this buy. So we have a new member at the family again named as my new LG Mini sound system . Now we are 4 of us at the house ( my beloved C-fish, MY DSL line , MY micro LG and finally me ) .they are alive and kicking :P
Now let me talk you about my brother. He is really really really good looking guy and he prefers wearing suits and good looking clothes and i love him . So try to think me every time i go for a visit down at Rhodes . My mother always complain that i should dress more like a human "rhodian " being and always says to me "Look what your brother wears you should dress like him and not going out like a punk" . We always had a fight about this subject since i was at high school .. anyway ..mothers ..

I was Wondering .....

Hello!!! Have a nice day....
Yesterday my DSL line was finally connected. Actually it was sync from last sunday but to say the truth these guys @ HOL are really really stupid. I was lucky that i read in the manual some instructions regarding my router and my DSL Line. I am downloading everyday everytime and the pc at home is now on fire . I saw some web friends yesterday on MSN that i have not seen for a long time.
Now i was wondering yesterday .. Ok now i have my DSL at home that means that socializing in the real world maybe will be a boring situation. now that means that i prefer staying at home and develop things rather than going out. I think that this will also have an affect on my lovelife. I was labelled from all my x-gfs as a "weird" guy now i will also be labelled as the DSL Lover. Ok , but to tell you the truth i will try to go out and check my friends every weekend . So , say hi to my member of my family here at athens ..MY DSL line ...
may the force b with u

Say hello to my new DSL @ home

I AM CONNECTED ......................

Say goodbye to an "OLD" friend

Say Hello to kostis and Bye at the same time . Kostis is moving from Athens to Heraklio in order to live a normal life down there. I think he will be ok down there since all his friends ,family and of course Rinio is down there. I will try to go to Crete very frequently.
Today is his last day here in Athens and at night he is travelling with the local ship to Heraklio. I am happy that he is moving to the place he wants rather being here but i will miss his company .anyway
Once he had asked me when we went together at the port when Dikaia was leaving ; "well i have noticed that you do not cry when someone leaves you . My family and friends every time i left Crete they were crying like was the first time .... " I was really wondering about the specific subject and i think now after few months i am ready to answer.
Well people that i really fancy their company and i really enjoy being with them i really dont feel sad when they are leaving because i know that in the near future i will try for sure to look for them and find them in their spot. So a goodbye its not really a goodbye but rather a commitment to c each other in the near future . That;s it :)

Monday, Monday, Monday....

Hello ppl! This is Monday my favorite day of the week as you all know :P This was a very very very freezing weekend. The weather was not in a good mood so... i was not either....
We went to check Σταμάτη Κραουνάκη and Σπείρα Σπείρα last night at Αθηναις located at Βοτανικός. it was a really nice experience. I really did not believe that i could spent some time listening Kraounakis live. The whole team involved and the place where the excellent. If someone has not seen the team live i advice you that you should for your own pleasure even if you are not so close into Kraounakis Music. The negative about the whole project is the price of the ticket which was quite expensive 25 euros ........

Maraki left athens this sunday and now i suppose that she is back to London. We will check her news through hers blog .
Kostis will move into Heraklio this week and me still here waiting for my F DSL to be connected .

It is a digital version of this magazine which is published and send to subscribers through "snail mail". Only one issue has been send to me but plz check their blog here .

Zamanfou (taken from wikipedia )

Zamanfou, also known as Zaman-Fu, as well as "starhidismos" Greek "σταρχιδισμός" or "ohaderfismos" Greek "Ωχαδερφισμός" ("oh-my-brotherism") or eogonism, is counterculture phenomenon that has developed since the late 1980s.
It is the Greek equivalent of Timothy Leary's Turn on, tune in, drop out of the 1960s. It first began in Athens but its usage spread to the rest of Greece in the 1990s. The main supporters of this phenomenon were generally between the ages of 16-25, but by 2006, many representatives of this lifestyle are well beyond this age bracket.
The term is derived from the French phrase "je m'en fous" (foutre), which can be translated as "I don't care/I don't give a damn/I couldn't care less". The main idea behind this phenomenon is the perseverance and prioritization of the benefits for oneself.

Characteristics

The idea that brought Zamanfou about was Zen-like: if something bothers you and you cannot do anything about it, there is no point of stressing over it, so instead, you should just ignore it; Forget your stress and consciously disregard the shoddy state of the Greek society and try to have a good time, with what you have. Make lemonade with your lemons.
Subscribers to this ideology use a characteristic phrase: "Write everything on your testicles" as is the literal translation from Greek. Other interesting relevant Greek phrases are "στον πούτσο μου" or "στ'αρχίδια μου. In case you don't want to use curse words, you can convert the original phrase to "στα τέτοια μου", implying your testicles. In chatrooms, there are some characters that express the above, helping avoid using the actual curse words. For example the testicles are abbreviated as @@ ("στα @@ μου" instead of "στ' αρχίδια μου").
There is the "\/" string that describes a hand gesture (see below). In the Greek culture, writing someone at yourtesticles was and is supposed to be a gesture of utter contempt for the person you are referring to.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

At my Vacations @ Rhodes my brother has the luck to connect to the net through DSL @ the speed of 384 kbps. I have use the line in order to download some goodies for my ears.
I have been lucky the last few years since i dont have to search a lot Net rather than visit some specific sites where i know that i could find the elite of multimedia instances .
This album came at my hard disk at the first week of the year. I actually was astonished by their music. It was the first complete album in which I did not push the next button even once. The whole album rox and has everything from guitars to synth rythm that sometimes makes you wanna jump over your body and sometimes makes you think that music could really relax your body and brain 2.
If you have a fast line just download it; if not wait until 23 of jan when finally will be published at your local music store. Their name is unique Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and their debut album is labelled with the same name .
