E Viva l’España…

One comment only: “nuestros hermanos” deserved totally this victory in Euro 2008! And they didn’t need any Cristiano Ronaldo…

Article 1

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood“. Said in a different language, Portuguese for instance, the shape and the way it sounds differ quite a lot: “Todos os seres humanos nascem livres e iguais em dignidade e em direitos. Dotados de razão [...]

… Good To Be Back!

Almost completing one year after my return from Brazil, where I and my family managed to survive to a two years international assignment, I feel like marking the actual date much more due to the fact that I left Brazil than because I’m back in my home country. As cheering myself up it’s one of my best qualities, I say in this happy date, from [...]

LASER, please!

Enough is enough! I can’t stand anymore the mistaken everybodies around me showing a total lack of respect for this wonder of technology called LASER!

What’s wrong with you, people? What makes you to be not sensible to sensitivity of science purists like me? It’s elementary (my dear Dr. Watson): if you don’t know it, don’t use it, if you want to use it, do it [...]

The other margin…

This blog is since long ago enriched, in its header, with a picture on which I review myself: grayscale Arrábida’s Bridge or, in Portuguese, “Ponte Da Arrábida“. The project of this bridge was placed under reponsibility of Portuguese civil engineer Edgar Cardoso, approved in 1955 and the works for erecting it started in March 1957. Inauguration took place in June 22nd, 1963 and right [...]

Cellphone Kids

… or “A Geração Telemóvel“, in Portuguese. Yep, that’s true, according to Darwin’s evolutionary theory, I do believe that in due time human babies will be born already with a built-in cellphone. Till that day happens, an early childhood intervention program aiming the optimized use of cellphones is already a fact for babies born in high developed societies.

There’s a good reason for me writing this [...]

While Your Lips Are Still Red

Metal bands still produce the best ballads in the rock universe. It has been like so ever since and hopefully should keep being like so. “Nightwish” is a finnish band born in 1996, in Kitee (Finland), moving around metal music, heavy metal, hard rock or whatever relatives you want to add here cause I even don’t like that music style anyway. However, I always have [...]

What Else?

Although the low consumption per capita of coffee in Portugal (2Kg/person/year of raw material), within an European Union scenario, I do believe there’s no other country where coffee tastes that much good as it does over here. And I don’t remember at all any country where coffee is in fact a pleasure at the dimension achieved in Portugal just because drinking a coffee in here [...]

Think Global, Act Local

… a cliché like any other!! There hasn’t been a special reason for posting here in the last couple of months. There hasn’t been anything really intensive enough in my life to considerably shake up my existence and make me write down something here with passion or, else, with a tremendous lack of it. My life is then sunk in lots of nothings, of very [...]
