GNOME 3.0
A new and exciting GNOME version is out. Get it while it’s fresh! I haven’t been able to contribute as much as I would like lately, just barely keeping www.pygtk.org not too outdated, but…
Made to share!

Urban art
Graphic and urban artist BLU uses walls as canvas for his/her beautiful, delicate and elegant animations and paintings. I’m not surprised to see some of this work being shown in the Tate Modern in London, and, as an architect, I really enjoyed how the paintings/animations are spatially conceived and take into consideration the scale and […]
