How to Build 15 Stories Hotel in 2 Days

I found something, well, rather unique in YouTube today.
The video is actually quite old, dated about one year ago (in this Information Age, that's ancient, right?)
This is actually a time-lapse video of the construction of a hotel in China, which took only two days to build. And it’s said to be level 9 earthquake resistant.
To me, this sounds too good to be true, especially when it is from China unless they have an army of speedsters like The Flash to do the all the construction. So what do you think?

Bahasa Indonesia? Gampang!

Kadang-kadang kita demikian meremehkan kemampuan berbahasa Indonesia, apalagi dengan baik dan benar. Padahal yang kita pakai setiap hari belum tentu benar. Apalagin kini kita orang Indonesia punya kebiasaan 'asyik' menyerap kata asing begitu saja tanpa mencari padanannya terlebih dahulu pada bahasa Indonesia atau bahkan mencari terlebih dahulu arti kata tersebut di kamus. Ah, kalau yang ini, memang karena kita malas membaca ya?
Contohnya pada foto di atas (klik pada gambar kalau kurang jelas), maksud hati menulis 'sintetis' yang ditulis alih-alih adalah 'sintesis'. Dua kata yang maknanya jauh berbeda.
Ketidaktahuan atau ketidakpedulian? Entahlah. Yang jelas, ini objek yang asyik buat fotografer/blogger iseng dan nyinyir seperti saya .^_^

The Awesome Architecture-Inspired Typography

 I have to confess I am a bit of a font nerd. I have a folder in my hard drive that contains around 1000 fonts (of which I only fool around with about 1/3 of them). Okay, maybe 'font nerd' is not right, 'font hoarder' is more like it.
Anyway, there are several fonts that I love to use on daily basis. For my architecture/CAD works I love to use Damned Architect because it's free, representing my hand written drafting font close enough and can be found here.

Interesting Interior Planter

When you think of how to define different areas in your place, you usually go with walls. However, you can always use plants as space definers (in this case between dining room and bedroom). The result? More spacious area in your place than the usual wall.
I love the brilliant execution of such a simple premise.
