Stereotypes

Sometimes a small typo can lead to the finding of an interesting web site. That happened to Sergio today. Warning: Click this link only if you don't have nothing important to do. I won't be held responsible for the time you lose playing with faces :-)

Dreaming Of Violets

Sometimes the effect of the web global community still suprises me. Imagine playing a duet with someone you don't know and that doesn't even know you are playing a duet with her.
Shannon Campbell, guitar and vocals. Yours truly on drum, bass and harmony vocals. Pretty cool to do a duet with someone I've never met in person.

The Universe in a Nutshell

Stephen Hawking's follow-up to a Brief History of Time. Having read A Brief History of Time a long time ago and more recently the Ilustrated version of the same book, I couldn't resist to browse Hawking's last book at a local bookstore.

I just skimmed through it but what i saw amazed me. Hawking did it again. Not exactly a book for the masses but Hawking is able to explain the most advanced theories about the Universe in the most accessible way. The ilustrations are as beautifull as in the illustrated version of A Brief History of Time. Definitively a must have.

The Universe in a Nutshell attempts to address the relative difficulty of Hawking's first foray into popular science, A Brief History of Time. While this sold in its millions, few readers got past the first few chapters. Helpfully, this new work is full of beautifully prepared colour illustrations and decorations, and has a "tree-like" structure, so that readers can skip from chapter to chapter without losing the thread.
