Kimmi World Champion

Kimmi supporters have waited long for it, but this evening (in Europe time), the unluckier Formula 1 pilot had a lucky strike and has won 2007 Formula 1 Worlds Championship.

I know that no pilot can be compared with Schummi, the best pilot of history, but Kimmi is a brilliant pilot that deserved this cup it for some years. Luckily, emotion is guaranteed for next yeasr, because another brilliant pilot has been quite close to Kimmi, Hamilton, and it's one of main candidates for next year. It was a sad day for him, but I'm sure that he'll be fighting for World Championship for many years.

Congratulations Kimmi!!!

Truth age

Most people already realized that nowadays our society is governed by information most than by economy itself, and that means an evolution from industrial age to information age.

Today I was wondering about a new age. In my opinion it becomes from another revolution, what is called Web 2.0. This revolution implies that through the internet, everyone can contribute and express their ideas or their opinions to anybody else. It can be done in many different media such as a blog, a video, a presentation... And what it means is that now information isn't controlled exclusively by big corporations and its conventional media channels.

An example is that video, where an alternative version of what happened in NY on 9/11, that no conventional media has shown. Today most people still gets most information by those channels, but hopefully in some time we can get some kind of Truth age, where our information isn't what "they" want us to know; our information is what we want to know; where we can choose, and where everybody that has something to say, can express it.

Spanish censorship

There are always incredible things on news about spanish “justice”, government… Last one is that a famous humor magazine has been banned.


Here is why.


 


Translation:


Felipe (spanish prince): “Just imagine if you end up pregnant, this will be the closest thing to work I’ve ever done in my life.” In reference to a new law on what people will get 2.500 euros for every son or daughter.


 


I want to give my support to “El jueves” in my still uncensored blog.

The Simpsons quotes

Today I've found something very funny; I just want to share with you...

Marge: Homer, the plant called. They said if you don't show up tomorrow don't bother showing up on Monday.
Homer: Woo-hoo. Four-day weekend.

Grandpa: My Homer is not a communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a communist, but he is not a porn star.

Good stuff, right?
