Steady Life

Today,
while you waked up,
while you decided if it was to late for breakfast or not,
while you spend useless minutes going to work,
while you worked you ass off in useless making money for others stuff,
while you ate,
while you dragged you body back home,
while you watched pointless t.v.,
while you went to bed, ready for another round...


A giant iron and stone rock was flying through the space, miles per minute, to pass right by your side, to pass by every single thing your life is made of, to pass by your dear humanity.

While you wasted your life is tiny things, an infinite but unrepeatable cosmic event flew right by your side. Today, your life was threatened and your life was blessed.
But you simply lived your steady life.

Heath Ledger

It's been a few days since this troubled man but still great actor passed away. To me is important to note his death because, as I see it, he was a victim of his lifestyle, of being an artist...

Ghosts hunts us all, but it's only a reality -a terrible reality- for those who explore themselves to the point to seeking those ghost.

I don't know if he committed suicide and I think that's beyond the point now, the truth is he suffered from being so intense and "edgy" as too many people have described him. Here on this Blog, I've noted how his latest character, the Joker, let him to explore the personality and the vise of this character... guess life it's not to beautiful in that point of view. The shame is he didn't realized that this characters exist as the direct contrast of all the good things around.

The Dark Knight's sites have dedicated to him a space, where you can see here at the official movie site and here at the side page for conceptual publicity.

Politic Issues

Politics are the evil force of this world. No doubt. If there's kindness and love, there's gotta be a contrast in it. Politics do the job. And in this example, this point of view is more than valid:
A Saudi couple was forced to divorced after a judge decided they couldn't be together... and they can do nothing about it. This proof of human stupidity is here.

Also, Italy is breaking apart by politics differences here.
And, Cuba is forcing Castro to retirement here.

The first Runway in Antartica

Earth's making smallest each time a human being's born. Nations fights are still over territory and resources.
Well, Australia has completed the first runway on the Antartica, the one continent that, so far, don't belong to anybody. An Airbus landed recently after two years of pre-work on the runway. So far, the missions there are sorely scientific, but we all know that it won't be long before it is reclaimed by several nations, just like America did just a bit more than 500 years ago.

The video is here

Caida......

Bueno... como ya la mayoría ha de saber, el pasado 31 de agosto me eche un santo clavado en un parque ahí por insurgentes. Dado que en la caída mis manos no tuvieron nada que ver... el resultado fue la mitad de mi cara golpeada y raspada y tres semanas de incapacidad.

Como esto fue un viernes a la hora de la comida, se encontraban conmigo mis cuates de sistemas y Klaus tuvo a bien grabar nuestras estupideces y por tanto, la caída... y ahora, gracias a la magia de YouTube, les presento la grabación del madrazo... jajaja

Queden advertidos, (en especial si son familiares mios propensos a impresionarse fácilmente.. jejeje) que el madrazo se ve un poco aparatoso e impresiona un poco... jajajajaja




Esta foto fue tomada al día siguiente...

Esta fue durante la grabación de uno de nuestros cortos en el que no fui mucho mas que un vil observador... jajajaja... y estoy con el buen Sadot y el señor Rodrigo. Nótese que aunque el golpe fue del otro lado, el ojo izquierdo terminó morado...bueno, amarillo... lo cual me daba la apariencia de haber sido todo golpeado... jajajaja

Y pos esta ya es de la semana pasada... ya nomas con costras y eso... jajaja

¿Cómo ven?... estuvo con todo el golpe ¿no? jajajajaja
Ya nomás quiero agradecerle a Claudia, Mony y Jesús por haberme echado la mano ahí en el parque... a todo los CTPeros por el apoyo y los comentarios sarcásticos (que bien que ayudan... jeje) a mi familia por ayudarme estos dias... a Mich y Marianita por hacerme reír y provocar que me queden cicatrices en la comisura... jajaja.... y en especial a buen señor Benjamín por haberme ayudado y acompañado al hospital (se agradece enormemente :D)

Así que ya saben... aunque este golpe de una manera muy extraña me ayudo en mucho (a veces se necesita una caida así pa ordenar las ideas....... :S) la moraleja de la historia es: NO HAGAN TONTERIAS!!!! jajajajaja...

Why Not?

NASA has discovered seven big caves over Mars surface. They are by the tallest mountain in the whole planet and they might be huge. As in Earth, caves do preserve heat in the cold nights of mars and keep from the extreme heat/radiation that the unprotected atmosphere of mars present during day time. This kind of caves might have had, or still might have, living organism.

But NASA scientist discard this seven caves, nicknamed "Seven Sisters", for they are too high and (I quote) "Live can't be supported at that high". Of course caves would seem like a familiar spot for the first people on mars, and of course a cave at that high might be not useful, but as for Martian life... why not???

Live have show us that it can hang on anywhere, even when we thought seas where too deep or volcanoes too hot, it has managed to go on. Interesting and almost philosophical issue... Here's the note.

PS. Please notice that this Seven Sisters are almost perfectly round... mmmm

Was Will Shakespeare for real?

After years and years of reading Shakespeare, a "coallition" has declared that they seriously doubt that Shakespeare had wrote his plays, since his humble origins would not have allow him to know the dark secrets of his age, specially since in that time power circles were so tight.

It is actually an interesting idea, that people like Chaplin, Wells or Twain have supported in the past. I leave you the link to the main page of this coallition:

Flying Cars


The name is Moller's Skycar M400, and it may pass to history as the first flying car ever sold. It was build by Paul Moller and it's the first vehicle that will really be of personal use and that can actually make a change in the way we live, sort of like the change from horses to cars.

The M400 is build by hi tech materials and is equipt with a GPS that does the navigation easier. Also, it comes along with a parachute and a huge airbag that would deploy from below the craft in case of a crash.
Although the idea is quite old -Ford predicted it...- having the necessary infrastructure for this kind of transportation is the hard part.

That's why, NASA (probably in an attempt to be usefull to it's nation again) has declared that they own the technology to trace sky lines in order to create sky highways... like in Blade Runner....


It is said that this car has actually achieved 600 mph... but on this video we can barely see it take off. I leave it to you... but the fact is that in a short while makind's way of living may change just as it did more than 100 years ago with Henry Ford.

The first step in learning

A few hours ago, I was showing Mariana the proportion between the Earth and the Sun with a simple Power Point Slide Show my sister sent me this morning. My mom was with us combing Mariana's hair. I told Mariana something like: "This is our Sun and Earth (next slide) ...and this is our Sun compared with another suns all around the Galaxy..."

My mom, having heard this, was like: "No way!!!... There are more than one sun?!!!"

Obviously, Mariana and I were totally astonished... My mom, a 25 years teacher, doesn't know that stars are other planetary systems suns... even my 7 year old daughter knows it... but my mom didn't.

Now, I'm not writing this to make fun of my mom. At all. I'm writing this because she, at her 51 years old, didn't know this. I asked her what did she think that stars were, and she simply replied: "I've never thought about it"

The lesson my mom taught me tonight is that there are a million things that I don't know because I've never wonder about them, because I simply take 'em for granted.

I explained both my mom and Mariana about the different sizes and ages of stars and now they both now a bit more about it. Now I'm happy because I know that my mom will look up to the sky next time and wonder about far away suns... night will never be the same for her from tonight on. That's the first step in learning: To find out that we ignore something.

A strange symbol found on a NYC's old building

Well, it certainly is weird to find mysteries on "new" world features. I mean, if a pyramid holds a secret symbol, that's ok... if Dan Brown sells books like maniac using old medieval symbols, that ok....... (well, maybe not that well.....)..... but finding a symbol on a building in NYC is just weird.


As you can see, it really simple. And for me there are just two possible meaning. One: The architect / owner / builder was into some religion and really wanted the building to stand for years holding the symbol. Or... they simply wanted to "draw" something funny on a wall.

Is that unbeliveable? Look around us: we have toys, we pin our walls with posters, we even paint our wall with no apparent reason. Why must everything have a meaning??? (weird thing to hear coming from a designer isn't it?) Perhaps olg egypticians simply liked the triangles... maybe they've had just discovered how to use it and so they decided to practice it on a pyramid... just as we do with hi-tech building that really don't need to be that high, that big, flying over a cayon or with that awesome looking twist in the main body.... we just build them 'cause we want. Cause we feel like it, cause it shows everybody that we can do it.

It'll be far more fun if in a few days somebody says: "Haha, I found the meaning of it!!!"... and surely Dan Brown will already be finishing another useless best seller... but thinking of a simply truth has always brought more results than trying to find the "unknow"....

Climate Changing for the Olympics

There's no doubt that every single chinesse live by tha code their country has dictated for centuries. Pround, Strong... Stubborn.

As they are hosting the 2008' s Olympics, they not only want to look like a new world lider, but want to show the world their displeasure with nature. China is the greater oppositor of a Anti-Global Warming Plan... and now, for the opening and closeur of the Olympics, they plan to prevent from raining. Simple no?

As they can see in the future (suckers) they know that on both days it's gonna rain heavily in the area, so they'll fire a couple of missiles that will clear the sky from clouds... even though they already have one of the most polluted cities in the world, Beijing, where the games will be hosted.

They just don't get that messing with nature has take us to where we are!!!

I guess their insect-like life has made them believe that after world's end there'll be only cockroaches and chinesse... (i know, i know) I really don't have anything against any specific chinesse... it's just that they pollicies and easy-going laws and applications will really mess it all. If they were (as a country... not as individuals) a tiny country, such a pollicies would really mean a little harm to our world... but they are the single largest country in the world!!!... where the concentration of population is way far from any other country!!!.... where if every single chinesse would toss a single piece of garbage in the street one day, would pollute more than most of the european countries in a week...

PS. I love China... their cultural history, their achievements... but as funny as it may sound.... PLEASE!!!... open you eyes!!!

Today being special is only because you may want it to be so. Though it's has always been interesting calculating this dates...

A new Cold War?

The G-8 in now in Germany. The main subject to discuss is the Global Warming, but it seems that Mr. Bush is (once again) far more interested in war. During this sessions, Rusia (being a "guest" among the other 8) has declared that they are not pleased at all with US placing missiles on European ground, specially so close to them. This "Missile Shield" US is setting, serves as a defence againts a possible middle east attack, specially since Iran has not yet granted access to the UN to check their Nuclear Weapons Program. But we all know missiles didn't born like a defensive system, and that's why russiand are all freaked out.

So, as a result, Russia has now announced that they'll set another defense system, and China is following them. This actions have just brought back the felling of a Cold War. I mean, the US sets a defense system, Russia and China do the same, now US have to respond to it with a better "anti-defense" system... and so on.
Bush is playing nice now, saying Mr. Putin is actually and allied and that this tension is only because of a difference between the two countries. Wish I could hear Putin's words abou that, specially since the Anti-USA felling has been growing in Asia and Europe.


Once again, it's a shame that we might very well be facing the end of mankind as we know it because of Global Warming, and our leaders are finding way to stab each other on the back.
Fuck pollitics.

Planetary Night

Last night, as I was arriving home, I remembered that the moon was full that night. I searched for her and when I found it I saw there was a planet beside her. Thought it was Venus, but I remembered that Venus did "stood" by the moon but on may 20th... so it couldn't be. As I arrived, I spotted Venus, very big and bright, to the west... therefore, the other planet got to be Jupiter... Saturn being in luck.

I ran up stairs and talked by dad to get the telescope and find out. We first locked Venus, for it was getting pretty close (and fast) to the horizon. Being honest, our telescope ain't much of a thing... (but it does have a telescope/cpu interaction... with some software I haven't even loaded... :P) so fixxing on a planet is really hard, but last night I did. After chasing Venus for a while, I locked it with the weakest of our lenses and little by little I switched to the biggest of them. Fot the first time, I got to se craters on Venus surface. It looks kind like the moon, but blueish... and far more death. The funny thing was that being too close to Earth, it really move too fast.

Once we saw Venus, we radically change the view to the East-Southeast where the so far Unknown planet and the Moon were.
Well, if Venus was hard too spot.. this planet really made it almost impossible. But after almos 15 minutes (which in sky observation is a lifetime) I got to lock it. One bright planet and four gorgeously aligned moons. Jupiter.... quite and spectacle. Seeing this so far away planet, as if it where a half moon... with those tiny half moon around it. Perfectly aligned, in 45° counter clockwise from the planet.

As it was late, we decided we would just take a glanze of the moon... And I must say that for me, there's nothing more peaceful that seeing this gorgeous being in a telescope... each sea... each crater... I even focused a specific crater, so I could see the details within it.

I feel kindda weird still... it's an expirience that feels so right, so natural...

Radio Caracas



Entrando temas mas turbios... Radio Caracas, la mas importante televisora de Venezuela (Equivalente localmente a Televisa en las decadas pasadas) tuvo que dar por terminada su señal debido a que el buen señor Hugo Chavez tuvo la cosquillita de que le estorbaba en sus planes.

"La única manera en Radio Caracas siga al aire después de la media noche del 27 de Mayo, es que Hugo Chavez yano sea el presidente de Venezuela"


... Valiente dialogo, valiente democracia, valiente pluralidad.
A decir verdad, yo apoyaba a Hugo Chavez en sus inicios, llevaba la bandera de que si bien el socialismo tiene muchos defectos, tal vez no era tan mala idea probar con algo mas que no fuera lo establecido. Pero tristemente, me equivoqué. Resultó ser que este hombre se ha dedicado a fortalecer su imagen de Fidel Castro 2, a cumplir su sueño de estar en el funeral de Fidel y tomar su puesto como la punta de lanza contra el "Imperialismo Yankee". ¿Pero que ha sido este socialismo? Expropiaciones de plantas petroleras, de tierras para cultivo, de primogénitos (¡es cierto!) y ahora de emisoras de televisión.

"Ha perdido reconocimiento internacional y ahora el respeto de su gente tambien"- gritaba una multitud afuera de la emisora, mientras el presidente de la misma señalaba este acto como "Un paso hacia el totalitarismo".

La verdad es que este movimiento es tan estratégico que resulta obvio. La primer manera de frenar un posible levantamiento en contra de un régimen es detener y controlar a favor los medios de comunicación. Ahora, la gente de venezuela solo verá lo que Hugo Chavez quiera que sea visto en su nueva señal que inició funciones a primera hora del lunes 28.
Tal vez, solo tal vez, Hugo Chavez espera que su gente se harte y lo quemen con todo y su socialismo, ya que el señor no se ha dado cuenta de que Venezuela no es Cuba. No es una isla donde puede perfectamente mantener a su gente aislada. No se ha dado cuenta de que el pueblo venezolano no es tan pasivo y que bien que mal es un pueblo que ya sabe que no tiene porque ser como Hugo Chavez lo dice.

Un saludo a los hermanos venezolanos.

Ice's Melting

As a direct effect of global warming, the Antartica is staring to have in land melting, which is really something to be worried about. As we all know, coasts are in fact the smallest portion on a land... the bigger concentration of mase is in land. As the Ice in Antartica melts, the water flows towards the ocean where it merges with salted water... which means we could very well be wating our last resource for drinkable water.
I post this satellite picture so you may see the scale of this... we're talking that tha Antartica mase of earth is simillar to South America... the inland hot spot is the size of California... a whole city of water has ran from us.

Spiderman 3

I just got home from watching this movie, and after years of waiting and expectation (specially for the character involved in this one) I must say: SHIT!!!!
I really tried to see the movie from all my possible angles: As a film maker, as a film critic, as an VFX lover, as fan, as regular audience... and none worked.
The main problem of it is that it is a forced film... the third part of a sucessful franchise that needed to close the trilogy to leave free pass to the uncoming superhero films.

Now, I find that this movie an X3 sort of have the same feelling... kindda epic but reduced to some semi-significant scenarios and characters. For example: Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson's private life first is introduced to the film as a main line, just to get cut by too much not so significant acts that just make the movie change wilderly from tempo... in other words, the relations have too many up and downs.

As for the VFX, well, they really are great... specially the symbion and the sand (they really worked out the particles in both). But they were so refined that it turned annoying, specially since Spiderman wears the mask only one third of the film... the rest in Toby McGuire in silks... or Peter Parker fighting a "Gobblin JR"... wich is hard to acomplish in 3D because of the cloths he was wearing.
As for to Venom... shit... I so waited to see him on screen... but at the end he turned out to be nothing special. As a matter of fact (and I must cry while writting this) he's the worst of the movie.

Clichefull (nice word), predictable, extremely light...

This film should've been a complete drama. Peter Parker fighting his darkside and all the damage he could've made if only he'd let go... instead, we have a ridiculous Toby dancing like a Hip Hop whore downtown NYC.

A shame this ended up like this...

Aborto

Bueno, se acaba de aprobar una reforma de ley que permite en la ciudad de México el aborto hasta la 12va semana de gestación. Como era de esperarse, el pais entero se dividió de la manera mas absurda. No importaron los valores, las convicciones ni la razón, el pais se dividió en partidos políticos. Esto, como era de esperarse, se convirtió en un ir y venir de insultos y protestas callejeras.
Para mi esta no es una cuestión tan difícil de resolver.

Primero. La intervención de la iglesia católica romana fue punto clave. Protegieron sus "creencias" y se encargaron de llevar a todos sus "subscriptores" el mensaje de que el aborto es un acto castigado por Dios. Claro que la sodomia y la pedofilia no lo son, ya que parece que sus sacerdotes lo realizan con la mayor libertad, así como los abortos ilegales (quen un muchos casos pasa de aborto a asesinato) que se han descubierto en conventos en todo el mundo, ya que obviamente los "bien intencionados" sacerdotes tienen relaciones con las monjas (entiendase que las violan), las dejan embarazadas y las obligan a abortar después, escondiendo el feto -o inclusive el bebé- en los jardines de los conventos.
Pero bueno, eso no es para nada nuevo, y una cosa es que esos hijos de la chingada no tengan humanidad y otra lo que la religión profeza.
Estoy totalmente deacuerdo en que un políotico, del partido que sea, pueda tener su fe, seguirla y dejarse guiar por esos valores y ordenansas que su religión conlleva. Pero no es posible que la Iglesia mexicana, guiada por el máximo gangster-pedófilo-narcotraficante Norberto Rivera influya tanto en una decisión de Estado como esta.

Segundo. Del otro lado de la balanza se encuentarn todas las asociaciones liberales que buscan una opción para el problema de la sobrepoblación, la pobreza y la falta de oportunidades.
Como se ha mencionado, al año mueren 2,000 mujeres en México (con todo y el bebé) que abortan ilegalmente sometiendoce a condiciones por demás antihigiénicas y peligrosas. Claro, el gobierno sabe de estas dos mil mujeres ya que son el número de mujeres que llegan a un hospital con alguna complicación derivada de un aborto ilegal. Realmente es imposible saber cuantas mueren al año en estas practicas ya que muchas nisiquiera han de llegar al hospital.
Viendo estas dos facciones, para mi la decisión es extremadamente sencilla:
El gobierno debe de atender la necesidad de miles de mujeres que realmente desean abortar -por distintas razones- y que además están en todo su derecho de hacerlo si así lo desean. A parte, el gobierno debe de garantizar el minimo de seguirdad para la mujer en este procedimiento (que nunca dejará de ser peligroso) y debe de garantizar una asesoría psicológica y social sobre las concecuencias de dicho acto... y si tus convicciones, religión o lo que sea no te permite o te convence de realizar un aborto, puedes simplemente no llevarlo a cabo. Ni tu familia, ni tus amistades ni tu Diós de lo recrimará ya que tu simplemente tomaste la decisión de no hacerlo.
¿Sencillo no?

El problema realmente aquí es concientizar a la sociedad mexicana de que un aborto -legal ó ilegal- sigue siendo un acto antinatural y por demás peligroso. Y aunque el aborto ahora es legal,la concientización debe llevar a la prevención.
Honestamente no creo que los mexicanos estemos listos para esta libertad que nos hemos otorgado y mucho menos para las concecuencias y/o beneficios que esta ley traiga a futuro.
Al final de cuentas, es uno mismo el que dará cuentas a uno mismo. Si haces algo QUE TU SABES que está mal, entonces ese acto se traduce en crueldad. La convicción en cualquiera de los dos casos es la que debe sobrepasar la presión social y llegar a un fin mejor.
Nos dejaron la tarea... procuremos en primera instancia no llegar a tener que hacerla y si se diera el caso, hacer lo mejor para nosotros mismos.
