This year I made a rotary timetable. You can download and print it too, but will useful for Jakarta people only :)

• to be attached on fridges
• tap fridge magnet at center
• rotate everyday
• best printed on 210g paper
• timetable is for Jakarta

While browsing for some interesting digital design-related projects, I found this viral marketing for Blendtec. They mainly selling blenders, with their leading product, Total Blender. They also sold merchandise, blenders accessories and even T-shirt.

Over the past two years, their uploaded a hundred of videos that have, at the very least, made the brand famous on YouTube.

All of the videos are typical, the founder and also the current CEO of Blendtec Company, Tom Dickson is happily doing absurd experiments of blending many kind of things by his Extreme Total Blender. In the end, while smoke seeps from newly-uncapped blender lid, he will say "don't breathe this" then pour the remaining on the table. In some episode they add extra twist, making it even more wtf.

By saying many kind, I mean almost everything you cannot imagine to blend to. The show went crazy and funny at the same time. Can you imagine some oldman throwing iphone and ipad into a blender, then proudly shows us the remains? You won't see that everyday. I bet youngsters & urbanist will love it. That is also why using Youtube as media is clever and perfect.

Dickson often gives a reason for his destruction of products, such as cellular phones interrupting his show, a poor golf game, needing to update his iPod, and his grandchildren leaving their toys out (hurting his feet).

I will post some of the most interesting videos of them blending things:



Need more? Go check their official Youtube channel
Other blended things includes Chuck Norris, diamonds, marbles, lighter, tiki torch, GTR, Wii, Nissan GTA, even Germany, etc etc

So, screw the usual boring scripted television commercials. Uh and in some random comment I read that they even open bid for the ipad & iphone remainings at ebay! That's just plain sick haha

Do not remove random fonts on your system!
Just sharing about my trouble this evening, I remove the some fonts I didn't or never use from my notebook.
Suddenly all adobe applications start to crashing,


When you try to start Adobe Illustrator CS2 or CS3, the application returns this error: "Missing required plugins: BRS Pencil Tool. ExpandS. Pathfinder Suite."

Later on I find out that we shouldn't uninstall the font segoeUI.ttf (Vista & 7)  Tahoma.ttf (XP)
because, some problem might be occur due to the missing plug ins/default system font for Adobe apps.

If you get same problem, just install those fonts to your system. And try to start the applications. It's work :D
whatever happens, never try to uninstall the holy fonts.

 If you had deleted them accidentally, download them in these following links:
Segoe.ttf on me*iafire
Tahoma.ttf on me*iafire

Hellofestival is coming! I attended the event every year, Each of it is truly a mindblowing and unforgottable moment.

Let's start from my favorite corner, House of Dollores. What is Dollores? It means dolls from resin. They arranged georgeously in one exibit. Everything was so steampunk and beautiful! Let's take a peek..


The Mr. Einstein (I called him so, dunno his real name lol sorry sirre!). He is the Picasso of all paintings in House of Dollores:


And here are the Dolloreses:

These still preeties are made by an Australian man who work as an Art Director in one of the Indonesian TV channel (CMIIW) I didn't able to get some photograph of him cos I saw him resting at that time. I supposed he is really tired. Yknow, being there for up to 6 hours answering same boring question from random visitor like me, haha

They also have masks for sell, too bad I can't afford it :( But they are free to wear! yay for camwhoring!


If you interested by their work, do give them to GOODGUYSNEVERWIN toy co.

I read that they have their own island at Kepuauan Seribu as their studio to build these masterpieces! How envious :(

Afterall the main dish of this event is on the showroom. Here we can see lots of people wears their cool costume and makeup, then shows us a play about many interesting things.

I found this Cosplay segment has became a regulars of any event that has (even a very tiny bit) Japanese content. But Hellofest cosplayer always have something special every year. I didn't inside the theater room, but my friends did.











Aren't they mesmerizing!

Back to the exibition area, we enter from Star Wars exibit. they have that legendary Lightsabers, fullcostume etc..it's like Star Wars museum! Haha it's a great collection!



When we stepped inside, there are even MORE jaw-dropping exibit waiting to be explored! Unfortunately we didn't capture the bazaar stands. That's too bad. Imagine you are in a very room, surrounded by colorful creativity all around >:o

Luckyli I'm able to took some namecard. Here is it! (Please pay a visit and spread the love to their web, they did splendid job and worth it!)

Isrol Triono Artwork
He is a very talented illustrator! thats my first impression. And I didn't get it wrong, since he created some wonderful fine arts (check his MP) And it happens the he loves to do woodcut/xylography, it is wood engraving, and the oldest known relief printmaking technique. I've ever learn about that in my college and it's so harsshhh... yet he's been able to do it very smoothly. Well done bang Isrol! Sorry I'm using your desk before haha.
Visit http://isrol.multiply.com/

Oh and be sure you checked ATAPALIS, in the base camp they create woodcuts, teach english, math, etc and play games with local children. So much fun! Some ATAPALIS guys are also coming along with bang Isrol, I met mbak Guci and Metal \m/ yeah, he is as metal as his name!

At Indonesian comic stand I met Mrs. Ellen. Her face is so cute! Sorry I thought you are a high-schooler or college at the first glance. But it turns out that she is already married with a great Illustrator :'D so she told me alot about being illustrator, etc. She is very kind and friendly, I mean it! She asked me to do some drawing (she prepared some special paper with to-be-continue-d illustration, I should finish the illustration based in my own interpretantion) at first, I said no cos afraid of being the worst piece ever seen haha. But later on I couldn't resist anymore, who cares about being the worst anyway, it's just for fun :p

I met lots lots more wonderful magical people! Ahh it feels so intoxicate! I hope I'm able to know more great people like them, furthermore I want to be great person like them!

At the end of the day I REALLY feels should buy something! I WANT WANT WANT some of the handicrafted items but can't afford it :(( I fully concerned not to haggle their creations. It's priceless actually. So let's just pick anything fits to my wallet :'D
