Alfonsina y el mar
Poema: Félix Luna
Voz: Mercedes Sosa
Dedicada a la poetisa Alfonsina Storni
 
Por la blanda arena que lame el mar

Smartness runs in my family. When I went to school I was so smart my teacher was in my class for five years.
George Burns

A definition of teaching: casting fake pearls before real swine.

A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University […]

Everything is getting hopeless and it seems that there’s no ready solution to flip over and change the situation.
When I have chosen freelance some time ago, I thought that it would give me more independence and more money. This is true, except that it’s not the right place for it.

Unlike what might mean the title, I am not looking for a jester, I often smile and laugh whenever it’s possible after all.
I was looking for funny pictures to share them with friends, but I got the Internet White Screen of Death again! Means that the sites are blocked here…
There’s something I still can’t […]

He acabado de publicar un test de inteligencia en castellano. Tienen que adivinar las palabras que siguen los números. Al comienzo parece fácil, pero el desafío es de encontrar las 33
frases.
¿Tienen la cabeza sólida, están prontos? Abren sus diccionários y enciclopédias, consulten los expertos lingüiísticos y aquellos que saben todo, y adelante!
Quería agradecer a […]

Interesting to know that the Internet Internationalization (i18N) community does not only work for freedom of code and freedom of speech: They also believe in and promote Peace!
They have used Unicode  UTF-8 encoding to write peace messages in all languages; many were done and others are still awaiting contribution.
The people of the world prefer […]

Joe (and many others) writes “This month has seen the internet release of the first 3D ‘Open Movie’, Elephants Dream.” From the site:
The 3D animated short ‘Elephants Dream’ will today be released as a free and public download. This is the final stage of a successfully completed Open Movie project which has been community-financed, […]

41ºC yesterday in Tunis, today temperature has decreased to 36. Unexpected heat which is not usual in May.
Is it a coincidence? In Montreal took place the UN climate conference clinches agreement. Is there a chance left to save the planet from the resource overexploit and the chemical industry?
Again, let’s hope …
