The Ultimate Solution

Have we come to consider life as a string of ones and zeroes, and the search for human contact as mere exchange of information?
Separation is a possible social configuration and we find ourselves stranded on the daily interactions. We have chosen to embrace the world as a continuous mediated experience; we choose metaphors over open […]

Letter to Fernando at 4:30 am

Which I know is just an ego trip, but I think it came out straight from the place of non-sleeping and well, I liked it.
I do kinda miss you, so get your but ready for the exhibition. And coffee.
And well, who knows we will see what the future holds in store for us… although waiting […]

The possibility of an island

Michel Houellebecq.
But, in order to stick to the whole bibliography thing:
HOUELLEBECQ; MICHELL. 2005, The Possibility of an Island.
London, Orion Publishing.
“…for we are bodies, we are, above all, principally and almost uniquely bodies, and the state of our bodies constitutes the true explanation of the majority of out intellectual and moral conceptions.” Page 186

For some reason

I still haven’t managed to insert video properly. Hope this will do, otherwise… Shit, no, still nothing, why the hell I can’t post any video??
And well, for some stupid reason I managed to close the window instead of closing this. So scary it was. Anyway, I was rambling about the above embedded video not […]

It had been a long time since I met someone who’s general dissatisfaction matched my own.

But we were beautiful monsters.
Unfortunately after a while, it chokes you up and there is nothing more to say. Danielle Willis said it first, and certainly said it better. Although the introduction is made by her and the comic is loosely based on her, the despair projected can pretty much touch everyone, bypassing the sex-gender-drug-abuse-deception […]

Well, got an answer from the PhD in Denmark

And was not good. “Not qualified”.
Seems the lack of sleep made me randomly bring in several topics, but none clear: Relevant to relevant stream. Proposal unclear and undeveloped, no research question, no explicit theory, no methodology.
Sucks.
Sooooooooooo, I guess I will post the whole proposal here, made in less than 24 hours (like that is not […]

Postcards from last nite

Still, from “in the beginning was the command line”.
“The average buyer if an OS is not really paying for, and is not especially interested in, the low-level code that allocates memory or writes bytes onto the disk. What we’re really buying is a system of metaphors. And -much more important- what we’re buying into is […]

Middle of the night

So, we came to the building, Orlando and me, and Dan and Oscar were here, sooner than later Oscar joined us for a drink, Dan was a bit later. Sharing stories and what now. And yet, the main subject is the end of all of this. I can’t shake the feeling this is gone, long […]

Hong Kong Continuum

So, We had a room without windows. It did had air conditioner, a ceiling fan, a t.v. set and a bathroom so small you could take a shit, brush your teeth and have a shower at the same time, absolutely no joke. Actually was fun to wash my hair in such a limited space, since […]

Hong Kong

I’m back and ready to start.
The whole adventure started early, for the flight to London was to depart quite early, so, due to the usual paranoia, I was ready some hours before,well, maybe not hours , but time enough. So we left for London and the flight was very, lets say, uneventful. But I had […]
