You failed
Via Crooks and Liars, I saw The Daily Show’s coverage of Romney’s CPAC speech: the speech contained so many platitudes, cliches and stereotypes that it had me laughing. Europe is facing a demographic disaster. That is the inevitable product of … Continue reading
Round
Last night, I decided to follow the Iowa Caucus thing: Apparently Obama and Huckabee are now considered (repectively) Democratic and Republican front runners. I also tuned into to hear their speeches and thought they were dull and boring. This brings … Continue reading
That famous painting (and other links)
Via the BBC I discovered that DaVinci’s ‘Last Supper’ has been digitized and posted to the Internet (actual site). According to the article, the produced image is about 1600 times detailed than a photo from an average DSLR: what can … Continue reading

Off-Key
Yo. Boris Yeltsin died. I can’t exactly remember how he became president of Russian Federation but I recall seeing video of Gorbachev’s last words as the official leader of the former CCCP. That was probably close after the August Putsch … Continue reading

America at a crossroad
All week, the PBS has been broadcasting an excellent series about the challenges we face in the world, particularly the conflicts between the religious and the secular worlds. Watching the series, I thought that the name of the series was … Continue reading
The trends
Alfons linked to a PDF that contains the musical score of Ives’ ‘The Unanswered Question’. I can’t link to it right from here (I get a dreaded message saying something about “This is the second IMSLP image server”) but it … Continue reading
Politics
I followed the events yesterday, when the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform had Valerie Plame on the witness stand who, under oath, told the public her side of the story (QT7). I flipped forth and back between opinions … Continue reading
