Here's the link to my first/pilot blurb experiment:

In Estonian It really took a long time to put together, but there it finally is I hope ya enjoy

After using PC for fourteen years, I've switched to Mac. Mac OS really rulez, while the screen of the new 20" iMac Aluminum really sucks - it's one of the cheapest TN panel you can find these days - low viewing angles, washed out colors and lacking contrast. Meanwhile, the glossy screen somewhat compensates it's bad features. The feeling, compared with matte screen, is like someone just wiped off the dust from it - it's so clear! Ideal monitor for a designer should always be S-PVA / *S-IPS with a glossy screen and as small pixel size as possible. I'm not sure at the moment about the Apple 23" 1920x1200 screen, but when it was a glossy one, it's a perfect choice today.

It's the lowest quality LCD you can find today. First (cheapest) is the TN (film) panel, then comes the PVA (by samsung), S-PVA (samsung), then comes the IPS familiy (S-IPS, AS-IPS) developed by LG Philips, and then come the special panels manufactured by NEC, Eizo, LaCie and other high tech brands.. Coming from a super-duper S-PVA matrix to TN is a horrible horrible feeling, and I keep telling myself that the look and feel of mac and the advantages of OS X is worth it. Anyway, if it hurts too much one fine day, there's a very fine (s-ips) Apple screen available separately (yay, the price is just not right at the moment )

By the way some of the iMac-s made 2006/2007 were using s-ips panels, so there are thousands of lucky people out there having a quiet, quality computer at their desks, which also shows stunning picture. Why am I telling about this tech stuff? Because I work as a designer and photographer and a good monitor should always be #1 in the list.. By the way the new iMac has glossy screen, which is a rare rare find today - only Nec WGX2 Pro has it in the pro class these days (not 100% sure though, as samsung already have tons of models out there..)

To summarize, the cheap TN panel is a stupid annoying (but profitable) trick made by Apple. Dell made the same some years ago with the 2005(w)FP panel - they were first announcing the super S-IPS panels, then quietly replaced them with a cheaper (s)pva ones. While the s-pva and s-ips are both quite good, the TN is awful awful awful compared with them.. so apple decided to go this way this time.. anyway the future of Mac seems to be bright, as it finally (for many years actually) has intel chipsets and CPU-s.. and the design and quaity of mac is also by far best of anything you can find.

I'm up to date again, my ID is renewed, also the icon also one new deviant uploaded It also seems a picture of my real desktop is from 2003, so I guess I should update this too. Years fly by.

Is there anyone interested to be a part of team making some conceptual photography in June or July in early-early morning in Tallinn modern centre? So some reflections of "skyscrapers", some fog (not sure though can there be fog in midtown), some ideas, some brainstorming, a lot of fun, coffee and sandwithces, and finally original stunning, and like-no-other photographs I'm currently planning this with another amateur photographer, and the first issue (besides checking the groung before actual event) would be if there'd be volunteers enough for it

i'm out of date, my deviant ID comes from the year 2006. Let me fix this within.. some years

I discovered myself about to foget DA! Shame on me! Hit me on the face right away!

OK I actually wanted to try to create a poem. I believe last time I did it was back to 1999, so it's about time to create another poem.

I will name it "Poem"

Summer is gone and the weather is cold,
Leaves will turn red as my grandma once told

Travelling 'round on the planet named earth,
just if the previous sentence were real

No time for the coffee no time for the break,
though most of the time here I'm not awake

the pillow is soft and mouse does not beep
When do I finally find myself sleep?


OK that was my poem, I think the next one to come in a year 2014, that's almost tomorrow, ain't that
