Bowie in italian

An old track. I prefer Seu Jorge doing the song in Portuguese and a guitar, but this is the man himself.

Proton beam

A beam of protons is going around the LHC again. Hopefully they have banned baguettes from the site.

LHC vs. the toaster

A bread crumb or a whole baguette shuts down the LHC. Urban myth or an Onion story. Hard to tell.

Ads

Old-fashioned ads. Right to the point. Ads these days are a strange mix between conceptual art and jumping puppies.

Adventures in Piracy

This must qualify as the silly news of the week. Apparently huge celebrations are being held in a small town in Somalia after the release of a Spanish vessel yesterday (sorry only in Spanish). Pirates are back in town with a bounty of 2 million euros and salesmen are trying to sell them everything from 4 x 4 vehicles to authentic DVDs. Pirates in boats, pirate parties, pirates of the Caribbean, pirate politicians. Are we back in the pirate era or maybe it never left?.

Medea

Had a chance to see Medee by the Théâtre des Amandiers - Nanterre. A take on Euripides' Medea that takes place on a refugee camp. Excellent acting and songs. If they ever come to your town make sure to go.

Man shows up hungover at own funeral.
