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...

Marcel Marceu

The greatest mime, Marcel "Marceu" Mangel died on September 22th. He was the only one who brought back to live the art of mimes after the World War II and he founded the greatest mime school in Paris.

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

Salt Water as Fuel

In a discovery that everybody is calling "The greatest in 100 years", a doctor that was researching possible cures for cancer, discovered that with radio frequency he could burn the salt in water uo to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

This is HUGE!!!!

We're talking that the greatest resource in this planet is exploitable as a fuel and it is also regenerable. We could use as much water as needed and still have enough for thousands of generations. This might be, if proved right, the solution to long term Global Warming and it is also a great breakthrough as far a alternative technologies, for a couple of years ago, this discovery would've been kept by the big oil companies.

Let's just remember that the first fuel for machines was water, as vapor. And it really worked. The main issue was the need for wood or carbon to ignite and vaporize water. This problem is now solved by radio frequency wich only needs a thind electric impulse to work.

Hopefully, this will be the discovery that will change our way of life.

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.

En el Piraña

Nos lanzamos al Bar Piraña, que está en Albaro Obregon, en la Roma. Después de tres bandas ma o menos... pero pa cerrar, escuchamos a dos muy buenas bandas: La primera se llama Larva, quienes tocan Death/Trash Metal bastante conceptual con una excelente propuesta en el escenario. El vocal resultó ser un chavo que se veía extremadamente tranquilo... pero ya en escena, sus facciones y comportamiento se transformaban... y las dos chicas de la guitarra y el bajo realmente se discutían con la fuerza de su música y pues del bataco ni se diga... creo que el nunca descanso.
Después entró a escena Cubiky, una banda de Los Angeles que se discute muy chido en rock un tanto funk / progresivo (por extraño que parezca). De ellos, el bataco es el que se llevó la noche, demostrnado que no solo sabía pegarle duro a los tambores, sino que realmente es un músico estudiado.

Les dejo los links a las páginas de MySpace de las bandas y si pueden, compren sus discos, que están muy buenos.

La historia del joven Cristian Mitre

Todos sabemos que la ciudad de México es peligrosa, pero esta historia es realmente aterradora. Como todo buen reportaje profesional, está narración está documentada fotográficamente. Algunas de las imágenes pueden ser perturbadoras...

El día 22 de agosto del 2007, el joven Cristian Mitre se encontraba laborando felizmente como cualquier otro día.
Cerca de las 3 de la tarde, Cristian recibió una llamada anónima, donde fue advertido de que por no haber participado en una de las cadenas de correo electrónico de Gisela, tendría 7 años años de mala suerte, problemas intestinales y perdida de memoria permanente... a parte de que algo malo le sucedería muy pronto.

Alrededor de las 3 con dos minutos y 38 segundos, el joven Cristian fue atacado por un comando armado.

Poco después de haber sido golpeado, pateado y vi... olentado, el joven Cristian fue secuestrado por otro de los integrantes del grupo armado.

No se supo nada de el hasta 10 minutos después, cuando un experto grupo de forenses encontró los restos del joven escondidos en cajas de pizza y botes de refresco. La osamenta fue encontrada en las cercanías, sobre una computadora. (Las siguientes imágenes pueden ser un poco agresivas a la vista, en especial la del forense en bata... están advertidos)

El experto forense recolectando los intestinos del joven Cristian Mitre

Aquí fueron encontrados los restos.

La policia capitalina a solicitado a la sociedad tome sus precauciones, ya que los sujetos responsables de estos actos son sumamente peligrosos. Afortunadamente se lograron obtener fotos recientes de los atacantes:

Ambos son sumamente peligrosos, en especial a las 9 de la mañana cuando no han tomado su café y se les acabaron los cigarros.

Cualquier información, favor de comunicarse al 01800-GRISCONTESTA de 8 y media de la mañana a 9 de la mañana.

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.

Sobre Agujeros Negros

Rapido: Ayer estaba viendo un documental sobre la vida Stephen Hawking, en donde se da a entender que él no es mas que un fenómeno mediático que no cuenta con un respaldo verdadero entre la comunidad científica mundial. Principalmente, debido a que dentro de su teoria sobre lo que sucede "después" de un agujero negro, donde él postula que la información no se pierde, pero el tiempo y la materia si.

Enseguida salió un frupo de científicos y "compobaron" que eso era mentira, que la materia solamente llegaba a otro lado. La principal confrontación era saber que pasaba con un agujero negro después de que hubiese tragado todo lo que está a su alrededor. Hawking postulaba que al morir el agujero, todo lo que el se llevaba se perdía, siendo totalmente contrario al postulado clásico de que "la matería no se crea ni se destruye, solo se transforma".

Actualmente, la teoria cuántica moderna le esta dando al traste a ambas posturas, ya que se cree que si una persona "cayera" en un agujero negro, para el "expectador" (figura sumamente importante en la física cuántica) esa otra persona se despedazaría en atomos, pero para la persona que estpa cayendo, absolutamente nada sucedería, el seguiría "existiendo" ya que la información (ya diganlo... el alma) que lo compone no se ve afectada por ls fuerzas del agujero.

Ahora, la NASA ha descubierto que la fuerza y el alcance de un agujero negro es proporcional a la carga de materia que está atrayendo. Esto quiere decir, que en un final, el hoyo negro ya no tendrá que tragar, posiblemente al haber consumido a todo el universo, y se detendrá. Muy posiblemente este sea el principio de la Entropía (proceso contrario a la expansión del universo).

Lo curioso, es que parece que al final de cuentas, la teoria de Hawking no estaba tan errada...
La nota está aqui.

Wakamaru

You can't imagine my surprise when i got to work and found out this (it's really amazing... so please have a seat): Michelle sent an E-mail!!!! that really gotta be something!!!! (luv u :P)... plus, the E-Mail had a simple link to one of the coolest thing I've ever seen... the first receptionist robot.

It's called Wakamaru (Shit... should I'd written "he's called..."?, here we go Asimov, here we go...) and it's a semi independant android that can recognize faces, schedules and more important, has the ability to encourage conversation with him. He can identify his position in a certain room by looking up to the ceiling and when "he" feels his energy is running out, he saves some to return to his docking station and reload. He has a continous internet connection and he can send you e-mail and notifications, specially when he is left alone at home and he senses motion around him.

Though Wakamaru (named after a samurai because of his "growt" concept and the eyebrows) isn't even close to any Asimov's AI robots, he is a realistic robot with a defined porpuse. And he should really work, for Mitsubishi (the developer) is planning to use them as receptionist. The main line about Wakamaru is that he not only serves, but he developes a personallity based on his owner's self personallity and schedule. And that is the breakthough, not only assambling pieces, but to have give them the possibility to addapt to it's enviroment.

Here is the english page of Wakamaru, and this is the original link Mich sent me (Fuck robots... she e-mailed me!!!) damn... I really would love to have a Wakamaru of my own... (commercial break).... you can have yours by 1,000 dollar a day or 25,000 per year..... (end commercial break... silence)

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"....

(suck it up Dan!!!)... and read the full note here
