New Lenses In My Oakleys Hatchet

A big fish for an aquarium as small

It was 9:50 pm on Sunday and I was getting ready to watch the premiere of HBO estrenísimo, Big Fish, beginning at 10:00 pm. I prepared my ill-gotten popcorn in microwave, poured myself a Coke and I just collapsed on the couch to watch this movie that I waited so long. The truth was very good, fantastic worlds together with the raw fact, impossible love, beings imaginable, all together to form the best film I've seen in recent months. Much
heard of The Big Fish, and the truth, my expectations were met.
that remains is to say that the lease ... of course, Bazuca.com, and see an evening where there is not much to do except to penetrate into a new world of dreams and excellent performances.
This story not only will leave a good memory but also you will be wondering what is better, if the insipid reality or a fantasy world where dreams leak.
Tim Burton, as always, another good film, Big Fish (125 min) was the best thing that happened on that Sunday ... definitely.

PD: On Wednesday ... repetition, same time same channel.


"Fish in aquariums are kept small boys, the bigger the aquarium much more can grow"

Imagine There's No Heaven
It's easy if you try
No Hell Below

Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You May Say That I'm a dreamer But

I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Water And Sailboat Cake

Google: a company project

Sitting at the computer screen, Google happens to be near my family. is like Rome, all roads will LLE na him. But little is known about how founded, who is behind this form. for me and until Google recently was always there. It was only a matter d google.cl and write access to almost everything you could ask for.
But it was not always so.
In 1995, Sergey Brin, 23, and Larry Page, 24, met at Stanford University to apply for a PhD in computer science.
That same year, start working together on a project for a
IVERSITY called "Digital Library Project." Larry had some knowledge in web design area, and Sergey in data processing, and began to create what later became Google.

In 1996, this work and begins to take for

ma, and BP Page given NAME re; 'BackRub'. This search was based on data hosted on a Sun Ultra II computer with a 28 GB hard drive, less than
currently have my PC. Incredibly, in the beginning, the page offered a telephone number with which u
could not contact Larry in case any question arises. This was not very rare, because their only users were university students and some teachers. In 1997, the name change, from 'BackRub' to the famous and ultra-popular 'Google'.
'Google' comes from the resemblance to 'googol', a name given to the '10 figure increased to 100 '. By then, the page already has a search range of 24 million websites, many that they started giving problems to the capacity of hard disk containing the data.

already registered the domain 'google.com', various businesses are interested in buying
rights, but fortunately the young artists refuse, to control
them the role of leading the growing company. is when computers Google are taken to a room with Larry and Sergey's room becomes the finance office.
Now with the need to buy larger hard drives,
all the money is taken out of their pockets and even their families, money that aciendo to the sum of $ 15,000. Finally access to a terabyte of disk space (1024 gigabytes) to store all the information necessary for the development of the site.
After a long run, entrepreneurs are interested in helping financially with Google, investing $ 200,000 in the name of "Google Inc." in two checks for the purchase of computers, checks could not charge to have open 'Google Inc.' as such. to open its first store, taken as a location the garage of a friend of Larry, and so were finally able to cash the checks that they had been donated.

1998 is the year they hire their first employee, who now holds the position of Chief Technology Officer of Google. LINES install telephone, cable and a DSL modem.

in 1999 and had 8 people hired, and google.com was receiving around 500,000 hits per day. Signed their first contract and start to take Linux as an operating system on the main computer of the company.

Today, Google is a of the most successful websites around the Internet, and suffice to say that is an example of effort and perseverance.
Now, with the mere thought of a search engine, these two "O" so much fun come instantly to our heads, due to its dissemination and use.
The one day kept the PC in his pieces are now billionaires and started 7 years ago as his little project today is my start page.

For those interested, can see the beginnings of Google in the original form of the Stanford University created by Larry and Sergey. Do not expect luxury or design: http://google.stanford.edu

Michael Myers Action Figures

And they lived happily ever

As a simple observer of the daily news show at 9 pm, I can not help wondering ... where there is one incident that we see. I mean, today politicians are left calm (and do not take argument known as the man who alleges corruption when his knowledge is nil), is to understand that we are in election period, and that licenses for false accusations and lies-sum-score are sold around the corner. all familiar with the case of the "corrupt relatives of the president" (how cliché!). Now, you are creating a commission of inquiry ... and here is the center of this ... What do these commissions?, Of course, investigate. Now, how many times we see the results of these inquiries? ... If you are not in the news means that it is in the interest of the channels show, right?. 'll say it clear, it is most likely that the results are favorable to the defendant, ie, there were no illegalities. But that does not make news, that's not eating or political shows members with children. And so ends this story ends exactly in half, as showing interest in what could cause more damage. Blinded people of any resolution ... Or you think that if it is confirmed that the president helped on the issue of tenders will not come out the ravens of the UDI feacientemente confirming that the government are corrupt and they never had anything to do with any illegal act committed in the past?. We
informationally linked to the tendency of the channels, what we want or not mostar, and remains well known and the man who claims baseless baseless grounds will, of course, on TV.
Ja?

Personal Chapstick Wedding Favors

Why not better evaluate their mayor and that of his predecessor? Höhne-Sparborth

Today, the painters of the parade are competing for jobs. As many already know, the debate over his presence in the capital's historic center
and mp ezo by a questionable move by the current Mayor Raul Alcaíno, yes, the TV. explain the matter further, the mayor, along with who knows whom, under a dubious criterion determined that painters typical parade did not help fix the place aesthetically. As municipality decided to take the next step, each artist must submit a work to a jury to evaluate the artistic quality of work. Depending on the outcome, will determine whether or not this person is still in the square.

Of course, many outsiders have found resolution measures more consistent and fairer to the city could have taken, how to build seats for each of the artists (but of course, we do not have much knowledge of the economic state that Joaquin Lavin left the municipality).

call now affected cynicism. Raul Alcaíno in years past, the painters invited to his TV, which emphasized its great artistic, and cultural support in the center of Santiago. But of course, those are words of yesterday, the accolades are now forgotten, and replace jurors and sudden decisions.

What does it matter if they are not beautiful?, If you come measure is the aesthetics of the center, start by removing those hideous statues of the parade, to invest in ideas to remove graffiti, scratches, dirty streets and litter ... because there is plenty to criticize, begins with what really matters, and left alone to painters.
