Hey there, remember me?

Hey there, remember me? If you do, it means you have a great memory, cause its been almost two years since I wrote something... So, how's everyone doing (if there's actually someone who reads this), I'm doing good, my life has taken some intresting turns, but overall, its been a wonderful two years. So, where to begin: I'm writing hear because someone told me it would do me much good, and well, I had already taken the pain to create this blog, so why not give it a use? This being said, I'll try to write as often as I can, and as often as I have something if not intresting, at least new to say. And now you may ask, what have I done this two years? Well, not much. Last year I went to France, and had a great opportunity to improve my french! It has been one of the most rewarding and enriching experiences I've had, and I'm glad for this opportunity! I spent one year in Toulouse, "the pink city", and I have but good things to say about it! Its a very young city, fieled with universities and students. I love its hundreds of cafés, where you can sit and enjoy a good espreso on a sunday evening. Its a very dinamic city too, lots of concerts and theaters everywhere! Well, that's all for now, Se ya soon!

Accesible from the beginning

After a really relaxing, fun, an incredible time at the beach, I come here to post about this wonderful chapter from the Steve Jobs' biography.
This chapter recounts mac's first presentation in 1984, I don't use a mac, but I use an I pod touch, an what impressed me, is, apple products were accesible from the beginning.
Here's mac's first presentation, in 1984.
He opened the mitting, with a poem from the secund vers of Bob Dylan's song, the times they are a changin
"Come writers and critics,
Who prophesize with your pen,
And keep your eyes wide,
The chance won't come again,
And don't speak too soon,
For the wheel's still in spin,
And there's no tellin' who,
That it's namin'."

He ended with
"For the loser now,
Will be later to win,
For the times they are a-changin'."


Then, Steve jobs gave a speatch critizising IBM computers, then he talked about how apple, would dominate the whole wourld, the whole imformation age, the whole computer inndustry.
It went something like this:
“It is now 1984,” he continued, “It appears that IBM wants it all. Apple is perceived to be the only hope to offer IBM a run for its money. Dealers, initially welcoming IBM with open arms, now fear an IBM controlled future….”

“IBM wants it all,” “Will Big Blue dominate the entire computer industry? The entire information age?”

“Was George Orwell right?”

The audience where beside themselves, then, the auditorioum went black, an the 60 secund advertisement began.

Its a really visual comercial, but there it is, I'll post the description written in the book.
I'll post the description another time:)

After that, Steve Jobs showed a demo demonstrating mac's features. First, the word Macintosh appeared across the screen, an below it, Steve's favorite words.
"Insanely great"

Then, the screen displayed charts, documents, different fonds, drawing programmes, an immage of Steve Jobs with a thought bubble containing a Macintosh.
An when the demo ended, he said this memorable words.
"We've done allot of talking about macintosh recently, but today, for the first time ever, I’d like to let the Macintosh speak for itself."

An indeed, the mac spoke.

Its totally amazing.
Thankyou Steve Jobs,.
I wish I knew just a bit about him. When he lived.

An air refill?, two dollars please

If you were looking for a really environmental-friendly product, you've come to the right place!!

This car seems so friggin cool!
Tata motors have come up with this environmental-friendly car that runs on compressed air.
Apparently, the air propels the motors, cylinders etc, etc.
Its maximum speed will be around 105 km per h (not that bad).
They hope to have it on the market in India this year.
This car uses no petrol, an it can run up to 300 KM before running out of, uh, air.
There will be like gas stations, that will be equipped with special tanks of compressed air. It will take around 2-4 minutes to regas for around dollar two.
The car is a 6-sit van an apparently, it will be around dollar 13 thousand.
Its a great idea, an it will really, really help the planet.
Maybe you think, 300 km?, well, if they're enough air stations spread around a city, I'm sure it will work.
You may also consider the possibility of the tank exploding when there's an accident, but really, isn't it the same with gas tanks?
Hmm, I wonder, how will the government an the oil sellers react?
I think it will be a huge loss for them, although, if air is a free resource, an a refill will be dollar 2, maybe they will gane some profit.
Hope this car is really real, an that it really comes out this year, what a huge help for the environment.
Oh, yeah, I also hope it makes some noise, if not, that would be a disaster!

I woke up at 8 o’clock,I showered, an went to the airport.
You see, this was a familiar trip so I went with all my family.
(we went to the beach)
                We arrived at the airport at 9 an we just waitted to board the plain.
The Plain landed at one thirty, we took a taxy to go to our hotel.
When we arrived they showed us the room an we just swam an rested all they long (it was super hot).
For dinner we went to a delicious restaurant, I had meat with mash potatoes an a salad.
This post was really short, on Sunday we didn’t do much, we were tired, it was really hot an the pool was delicious!
Don’t worry, this’ll be the only borring day.
