Mirror #2

Strange perspective...

Ikea Grand Opening

21^th September 2005


7:13am - the quiet before the storm...


9:12am - vodka and herrings (!!) are inside for free...


10:19am - park full...


10:20am - ... and also the street starts to be full...


10:21am - ... all the streets in the area are blocked


What a beatiful day!
And at 18:07 it was all still blocked...

PS: thanks Sim for the pictures!

Little Cloud

Small, but unpleasant.

Welcome Ikea!

Blocked traffic till 9:00am (look at this post's time)... first day grand opening at Ikea, with free vodka and herrings (in the morning???)... Someone should have studied better the local area streets before...

Wooden Ship!

It's a church indeed!

Métamorphosis

A perfect place to have a dinner, in Paris, on the Seine, in front of Notre Dame.
Only 27.- € for a good menu, but remember to ask free water!

MH

Ouch!

Hey, never marry a doctor if you don't have anything to do those medical stuff at home!

Mars Landscape

This is the view from the top of Husband Hill taken by the rover Spirit after 14 months of climbing.
Imagine it terraformed, when every future Mars men, that is going to marry, have to climb it before the Marriage!
Ok! Ok! I read too much Sci-Fi...

My bad... I've not found a good name for her... any suggestion is welcomed!

Order

Too much order seems a jail...

Happy Birthday Blog!!

And the blog lasts for one year of photo thoughts!
But expect even more!

Katrina Reporting

What we see on the MSM is really incredible. Personally, watching the USA from the other side of the Ocean, I thought that something like what's happening in New Orleans was not possible.
However I found a blog that is reporting things even worse than the "official" ones.
Take a look: http://www.livejournal.com/users/interdictor , he's reporting from a datacenter inside New Orleans.
Here you can find more and more link related to the Hurricane Katrina.
And here a lot of images from the online edition of "The Times-Picayune" of New Orleans.

PS: sometimes is better also to analyse a different point of view.

Michael Yon

I found a blog of a freelance journalist currently in Mosul (Iraq) embedded with US military troops. His name is Michael Yon and he writes about things you'll never find on the media.

Do Not Plop!

Is it suggested to use a cap?

Always here!

This summer is really busy, so probably I won't post anything new for the next two months.
However, take a look at the old photos, and leave a comment!!

Star Wars Revelations

I've found this new non-Lucasfilm Star Wars movie: Star Wars Revelations.
It's a forthy minutes movie made by Star Wars Fans and it's freely downloadable. (I suggest you to use this torrent, I've found here.)
Check out also the official site, from where I've taken the image above.
It's very very well made, with also a lot of good special effects! (spaceships, light sabers and more)
It's worth a look, absolutely!

Carnivorous Gull

Galaxies!

Look at this wonderful picture!!
There are nearly 10.000 galaxies in this photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.
From here you can download the full size image: 60.9Mb in jpg or 109Mb in tiff. I think I'm going to make a poster of it!

Sea

... Maybe you've already understood, and maybe you're feeling it, too
being far away clouds my sight
and I can't figure out the end of this Sea,
not even a lighthouse on the horizon on which I may lay my look... sick
of wandering through this fog...
... I'm struck with an intermittent sadness mixed with
anguish...
And I think about every lost sailer on this huge and
black winter Sea...

Software patents!

Personally I think that is good to be paid for what you create. But I think is absolutely NOT good to patent basic software ideas, like an XML/Word-Processing system!
I think someone has to try to patent the process to heat the cold water... ARGH! No more free pasta!!
Try out this link.

PS: And it's better not to comment what is going on in the EU.

Amercan Soldiers' Blogs in Iraq

I've found two interesting blogs written by two Soldiers actually deployed in Iraq. I think they're absolutely worth a read because they gives a point of view impossible to see on TVs, Newspapers and tipical media.
