on May 12th 2010

I bet this is not what you thought I’d be posting about Social Networks, here, namely as it is not about digital Social Networks but physical and tangible ones. These people actually touch each other.

To the moon, and beyond

on Jul 20th 2009

People of my age remember watching men walk on the moon, on our television sets, when we were young kids. I have no doubt, it shaped us profoundly and irrefutably. Practically, in the way we viewed the world & humanity, and spiritually, in how we saw our fragile breed, riding this blue marble. in the [...]
