    Companies who manage to seem small and personal, despite the potential for being large and faceless. Giving their employees the power to think and make decisions for themselves also helps.

                  wow, boofredlay is one happy person. and would stinkie please stop binging up the spyware thing? this is supposed to be about posistive things.

                  the one thing i really like: making something great after spending hours of work on it, and watching it work perfectly and complete its intended goal. such a great feeling

                  and yes, the cool side of the pillow. and to go with that: turning on my electrcic blanket about 45 minutes before i go to bed on a cold night and then when i get into bed, its all nice and warm. ahhh.....

                  oh, and lucid dreaming. only have them about once every 3 months or so, but they are great. i used to be on a forum about them, great place, but apparantly you had to be 15 and... well... you get it. heres a wikipedia link:

                  Link Preview Image
                  Lucid dream - Wikipedia

                  favicon

                  (en.wikipedia.org)

                  playing my drums and just listening to them. ive gotten so used to playing them that i can set myself on autopilot and just listen. and it sounds great (im so modest)

                  this forum, thanks coen and co.

                  steampunk. greatest. subculter. ever. such a great community and energy, everything is DIY, and you are constantly slaping youself on the forehead thinking "why didnt i think of that?!?!?!?!". wich for me, is a good thing. it means i can use or modify that great idea that i never would have had normally and use it in another way.

                  foggy days, where its just foggy enough so that i cant see the end of my street, but not so foggy that you need to rent a cane to feel your way around. on those days, is just the right tempature, the air is still, and nothing has a shadow.

                  i could go on and on (im a very happy person, ussualy), but i have to keep the posts short, so i'll continue this later.

                    one of the most beautyful things in the world - time for dreaming (black rider emerging from the fog on a small hill, then vanishing into the dark forrest...)

                    what I really like:
                    when Germany, after starting with a disappointing performance in the first games of Euro 2008, wins the quarter final (sorry portuguese ๐Ÿ˜‰ ) by finally finding back to it's ordered and controlled style, combined with a constantly dangerous opponent who puts up a fierce fight to the last minute...

                      A dirty martini.
                      A good game of bridge.
                      Watching a building that I designed become a reality.
                      Canoeing and camping on rivers ... unfortunately, my camping buddy doesn't look so good to me anymore.
                      Hanging out at the leper colony at the 'plex.
                      The sound of crickets on a summer night.
                      Playing my guitar.
                      Shawshank and the Sound of Music.
                      These are a few of my favorite things.

                            Sargent, baby! He painted alla prima. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Cรฉzanne said of Monet: "He's merely an eye, but my God, what an eye!" (paraphrasing - don't remember it exactly). The same can be said of Sargent. I cannot resist the "creamy" quality of his paint. The composition of this one is simple, but outstanding. Start by looking at the bottom left corner - you'll see what I mean.

                            Breuer needs no introduction here, I think. My second favorite architect. I have a nice Phaidon book on him. Whenever I leaf through, I start to smile. Unless I'm wrong ( ๐Ÿ˜Ž ), he was born in the city where Gaieus lives.

                              Also we have a nice amount of fine Bauhaus buildings in town.

                                Ah, Vasarely ... One of the very few artists that posess the strange ability to instantly depress me. His art has the same 'quality' some modernist architecture from the sixties and seventies has. It's modernist, sure, but without the air of promise and excitement 'true' modernism has. I cannot quite explain this in English, but his work (and the forementioned architecture) are more like memorials for modernism than modernist in the true sense of the word.

                                rant (*Edited. No whining in this thread.*end of rant

                                EDIT: as this, after all, is the "things you really LIKE" thread, I feel I should end my little rant on a positive note. Here goes. For years I looked for a way to realize the, err, "images in my head". Drawings, installations, models - you name it. But those approaches never quite gave me the dictatorial level of control I required. That frustrated me.

                                Now ... imagine how I feel with the combined power of SU, Maxwell, Indigo and Podium at my fingertips. The last year I spent accumulating hardware, software, knowledge, models and textures. Cost me a fortune and lots of time - but I'm almost done now. After I get the basics of V-Ray down, I'm good to go. Where's that "yeah!!!" smiley?

                                EDIT 2: the above brings me to an important point. Over time, I've gathered lots of helpful info off this forum. So, another thing I like: SCF. Thanks for all the input and info, people. Have a nice weekend.
