Week #4 - Four people I'll be deeply sad when their lives come to an end

Hi, dear reader...
Naturally, you've already realized that sooner or later people of an earlier generation than our will die, huh?

These are the ones who will make me deeply sad when their lives come to an end...


Stephen Hawking

Sometimes, the human race is blessed with people that increase our knowledge at completely high levels. We had Isaac Newton, for example, one of the smartest genious that our planet ever had. Or even Louis Pasteur, that made milk a delicious and healthy food. Einstein is pretty obvious.

And Stephen Hawking is in this league!

I mean, this guy is a hell of the most inpirational guy in the world. In the 60's, dude just got diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (AML), and was told wouldn't live more than 2 years (he was 21).

Today, he is alive yet. And he revolutionized what we know about physics and the universe!


Paul McCartney

My favorite idol, one of the moondogs, founder of the wings, one of the Beatles, THIS GUY IS A LEGEND.

I've already read all of his biographies, i have his discography, went to his concert, and looks like new stuff for me everytime i listen to his songs...

He is a member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) just for being a singer (by the way, the richiest singer in the world)

Enough said!


Stan Lee

Simply legendary... old man just created an universe of comic heroes that stills more famous than ever. He just turned Marvel (that was a little publishing house) in a big multimedia business.

Dude just turned 91. He always show up in the media, and he still looks ok :P


Ringo Starr

The most underrated Beatle. Hahaha.
Enough Said...

Week #3 - How smartphones made the world less magic

Hey, what's up?!

Do you remember that iconic video that, supposedly, shows the BIGFOOT/Sasquatch walking into the forest like a human?

That video is known by Patterson-Gimlin film. It was filmed back in 1967, in California, and became viral between the Scientist Community around the world (that's why we didn't find the cure of cancer lol). They analyzed each frame of the video to decide with accuracy, if that thing was really an unknown animal, or just some random guy with a monkey costume.

That scene used to cause me chills when i was just a lil' boy. I mean, the scene isn't that scary at first, but they use to show in scary context (like TV episodes about unsolved mysteries around the world). And that's pretty traumatic for a child.

Cameras, back in the last decade, were less present. Your family had ONE camera, whose function was record birthday parties or capture blurred pics of new year's eve. You only could take 36 shots each time and to change the photo films it wasn't a piece of cake.
Today, ALL OF US, without exceptions, got cameras (some of us got more than one).

And, sadly, i conclude that if this paranormal phenomenas that we used to see in pictures or blurred videos of the last decades were real, today would exist a billion of videos on YouTube with Ghost, Demons, Saci Pererês, Zombies caught on camera. I mean, there are, but are obviously misinterpretation of lens flare or obviously special effects.
If that stuff was actually real, would exist so many documentations that probably would be studied by science.

I think that's really sad... Sometimes the technology takes the little bit of magic off that this world had.

Week #2 - Age of Empires II

Age of Empires II. That was probably the first game that i've played online, and it was awesome!

I remember playing in the game's groups at AOL in 2004, these were frustrating moments too, cause everybody was better than me :P

I never been good at AoE II. I only knew that when i upgrade some stuff, i would earn bonus points. Playing in that way i never did strategies, and i just kept going upgrading things until some random player invade my kingdom and shout VICTORY.

Nowadays I am more pacient with it and I can win some rounds, I can make some strategies and stuff, but I ain't a good player yet...

Despite the game was released like 16 years ago, it's still very played around the world.

I can't really explain such feel...

I mean, it's so good to see each detail, wild animals, fishes, water fx, it's a fantastic 2D and like others Strategy Games, it's addictive!

It's so good to see you building your own kingdom, leaving all the things in the right places. I feel happy to see that all the towers were placed in the perfect spots to kill the enemies.

Well, there it is a game that i always go back to install in my PC and play a lot... Sometimes i got a bit tired, but it's always in my game list to play forever! :)

See you in the next post! ;)
