Dear Lord!

For Christ’s sake. It’s been a while since I’ve been here, isn’t? After looking at the blog stats I don’t feel really excited with the results. Not a single visit in weeks XD

Anyways, I’ve just found out better ways to create the podcast and got myself a microphone. Nevertheless, I think I’ll wait for December for the podcast. Not sure about it. Maybe I’ve got to ask Jackie her opinion. I wonder if the podcast will be good enough if we record the show using Skype? I’ve seen (or heard) a few podcasts in which people record their talk in programs like Skype and the result is not very good.

So, returning to the main subject of the blog, I faced myself with this Google Project which caught my attention. I think you already know about it, but I just felt like passing the information on too. The project, which is called Project 10 to the 100th. They intend to gather people’s idea and make the best of them true with an astonishing budget of US$ 10 million!!!

Alongside with Jackie we entered one of her projects to Google 10 to the 100th and we intend to send another one. Still in work though in enhancement status.

Une autre chose! Browsing some blogs in my bloglist I just found this one. The Big Picture, from boston.com is a Photography blog. Wonderful images, worth a visit. I think I’m gonna add them to my blogroll.

I think it’s enough for now

See you someday.

Update about the podcast

Hello! Another update

I’ve still didn’t write the about me and about the blog pages but soon this session will be updated as well. Probably in a few hours from now. I struggling to find some good material to talk about to. I wonder if it’s good enough to start this new series of posts regarding the problem of inequalities in Brazil’s major cities comparing with other countries from the so called ‘3rd world’.

Also I’d like to start talking about the presidential run in the US and how this impacts in other societies. Probably this is going to be the subject from the first podcast of this blog. Right now, I’m looking for interesting people to join the subject and the result by now is quite good. People from Canada, people who lived in the US and people like me are going to participate this podcast, at least in the first episode.

I wonder though if we’re going to be able to record the show in the next weeks. I said that because I still have to practice the recording softwares and manage to get a day to the recording in which all the people involved are able to participate in it.

Also, I’m still digging the process to upload the podcast into a podcast directory, recording quality issues and editing. I know it’s not that difficult but quality is of utmost importance for me

More updates soon.

Brief idea

Such a good Monday this was and it’s still in time for great surprises, I wonder.

After getting the first comment in the blog by my friend Jackie, from Canada, I got motivated to post once again in the blog. Unfortunately, stress and depression is something that still lives with me in my daily life, and I still try to find ways to battle it.

I won’t continue to talk here about depression, not in this post though. I’d rather talk about information and knowledge. Assuming information is the data you acquire by reading or watching TV, or even browsing the website you like the most, that doesn’t mean you are absorbing knowledge. Just to write a sentence about it might look simple, but if we really dig this concept and try to assimilate the differences between information and knowledge, we might live good lives.

That different actually is the biggest thing people lack to realise. After accessing some data and sending to your neural network we must rethink of the subject, ask questions about it and extract a common idea from it. There’s an inside feeling warning me to explain this in better words, so let me do it.

When someone is on a survival situation he or she must think actively. But, BUT, one might not use the information around him/her as sole guideline to this survival. In war terms, generals and other people from this high ranks collect data and process it. Some reader might think this kind of talk just another bullshit from the Internet, but that’s not my dear padawan.

I won’t get into this subject much longer by now because time is against me, but I think this brief idea have showed you a little skill in surviving.
