More devs

Another set (see if I get to publish them a little quicker next time...). Though some of these are not technically mine since I didn't shoot them (the neon ones) I did actually do the development and contributed to the ideas... hehehe. The official photographer is [Mr. Ayarza].

Two jewels

Some of you (spanish readers) know how fond I am of [Fogonazos], a wonderful blog in which, "Aberron" delights us with the weird and wonderful, the original and the impressive. Like me, he is a science lover.

Today he has brought us some videos in which he combines snippets of Carl Sagan's legendary series "Cosmos" together with others like Stephen Hawkins, thanks to the technology of MIDI and Vocoders and the talent of [The symphony of science], sing the glories of the Universe.

It is also better if you can understand the lyrics, of course ;-)

His entries:

[Como de grande es la antartida]

[Nuevo dueto de Sagan]

And the videos:





I will download the entire "cosmos" series, which already fascinated me back then.

New deviances

Some recovered old pics, some more recent, slightly treated or very treated. In essence, pieces of what I see



Sorry for not publishing... My new responsibilities are, as you all know, taking a toll in both time and energy, though the rewards are great.

Let's find out!

let's find out

That's a sentence that has become a war cry every time I draw my iPhone in the company of others. When I bought the gadget, I didn't imagine all the useful things that could be accomplished with it. I bought it out of a whim. I liked the concept and I could afford it.

But it has surprised me the usefullness I've been able to get from it.

Appart from being able to continue chats once I've left the office, level hanging pictures (yes, seriously), reply to important (or not) emails, here are other examples:


Resolve an argument about the Earth's circumference (where the "let's find out" cry was officially born) or the exact speed of light (Wikipedia).






What do the initials TT exactly stand for in the Audi model? (Tourist Trophy)




Look up the tube map well away from any tube stop and without the paper map.




Find out what's on at the cinema in the middle of a meal to plan ahead.




Photograph your gal's favourite car or a similar jewel.





Send forward examples for a DIY project in order to clarify what is needed.




To be able to show your bike to people who don't know about bikes but want to know which bike you have.




Report traffic violations (thought not legally binding) even commited by real car jewels.




Stay in touch with what your people are doing at all times.






Make phone calls overseas for free (yes, yes, this is Skype through 3G).

All this plus the usual suspects (ever more necessary to my new life), of course: datebook, calendar, tasks, notes, calculator, measure unit converter, music, videos, games and other gadgetry.

And still other examples: sending Xing invitations to potential collaborators you meet in parties. Give directions to people who ask for a street you're not quite sure where it is. And the list keeps on growing! What? Let's find out!
