"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
"Communication is depositing a part of yourself in another person."

Some of Jacek Yerka’s surreal paintings depict the world through my eyes. Now that I’m reading “Diary of a genius” by Salvador Dalí it even becomes more clear: trees are the perfect spot for reading and clocks are everywhere but nowhere, like melting matter.
Products I like: Reactive Paint
I learned in Japan that a house must adapt to the seasons.
Fūrin, for example, are Japanese wind chimes made of glass which are placed under eaves during summer to get a feeling of coolness every time they swing with the breeze. It’s like hearing the wind sing. That’s because senses dance together! Don’t you feel all sweaty when listening to “Summertime” by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong? I can’t help it. I crave for strawberry and banana milkshake right away.
Reactive Paint is a paint that, well, reacts to temperature or even light. So like fūrin, it transforms your space to directly communicate with your sense of temperature, which is aligned of course with the season you are in. Imagine a wallpaper that blooms when the sun starts to heat up again. Me wantee! It’s like domotics but with a twist of coziness!

![They were never the guys who scored the game-winning touchdown or were voted class president. They were the guys who spent their Saturday nights disassembling and reassembling motherboards for fun, or who thought the perfect weekend getaway involved watching every Dario Argento movie back to back. But now they’re among the most important people in the world — like Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, named on December 15, 2010, as TIME magazine’s Person of the Year. He created (or stole, depending on who you talk to) Facebook “for fun” while at Harvard, and now it’s the most important social-networking tool on the Internet — and is poised to become something even grander.
