You can think that you have heard the funniest joke or seen the ultimate on technology, but I don’t think anyone has ever thought they have seen the most unique and/or extravagant form of art ever. And Fabio Viale, a young italian sculptor who works marble like clay, proves it to be true: using marble to create a sculpture of a skull that looks like it was made with styrofoam?

 

Can we think like that in everything we do? I think that is innovation, even though there are hundreds of skull sculptures it is a breadth of fresh air to setup a different approach and make your statement in an individual way.
Makes me think on how this blog can contribute in a different, unique way. It’s a never ending search.

Being a geek defines a couple of things for me: I like new and different and I keep the ability to marvel at things.

For life I have seen myself with a glitter in my eyes as I am about to open a new gadget (whether its xmas or my bday), I particularly enjoy extending the moment right before opening/switching on/activating a new gadget/app/thingamageek. To me those seconds last longer than to the people around me (although sometimes it is the other way around as they expect me to rip the freaking wrapping already), but I enjoy those moments and I savor the feeling of excitement as I am about to experience something new.

However, the life of a geek is not easy sometimes, specially when you have a new toy, you want to share its marvelousness with the rest of the world (or at least anyone surrounding you at that moment) and turns out you are the only level 7 geek in miles (kilometers for us metric-based earthlings).
