how about podcasting?

Just came from a friend’s place and we’ve talked about starting a podcasting. This idea I had came while listening to some podcasts and after realise this would be a great idea and bring an interesting content in a different way. Of course I’d still write in the blog but there would be a newer touch and the presence of this friend of mine.

Right now we’re in idle but we’re gonna write things down on paper first and choose some subjects to talk about to. The main idea of the blog though will remain as the leading subject. We think this is going to be fun too and it’s also a way to improve out technical journalist skills

Later I’ll bring you some more news

bye bye

A little update about the blog situation

Even though I might sound a little bit cocky saying this, but I’m here today to talk about the few blogs updates and what I think I should be writing from now on.

Currently you can see now some RSS Feed in the right column of the blog. My intention is to share a lot of important links from websites about culture, human development, humanitarian decisions and the life in the city. I have a reason for that, don’t worry, I’m gonna explain it right now.

I’ve always wanted to talk and write about the big problems in the world and think about solutions to them. It looks like the best way to do this right now is to share this idea obviously. My intention is to do some analysis under the humanitarian crisis in the big cities, based on international documents, forums, papers, articles, everything that is related to the ideal of sharing knowledge.

Of course I will write about other things in general sometime, but the main focus is going to be the human life and social relationships in its whole.

The inspiration of this came while organizing my bookmarks in del.icio.us and I found an article about the condition of people in the greatest slums around the world, be it in Rio de Janeiro or in Mumbai. Also, I’m currently working in a thesis about the cordiality in the Bahian society, but not the cordiality as something good, instead a cordiality like a bad thing for the self development.

Many issues I think will be shared in this blog. Later I’m going to update the about me and about the blog sessions, with a more specific content and more organized.

I hope things will grow better now

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.
