Thoughtful Coffee

Some (not to say most) of my days start at a small coffee shop that is visited on the way to the office. The day starts right after taking the usual latte and rice muffin, just before taking the usual elevator ride to the office on the 10th floor. It usually takes less than 10 minutes, but sometimes I ask myself why not work just right from the coffee shop.

So, what’s so important that makes it mandatory to be seated at my desk all day?

I guess, most of the time… well… nothing. Other times, everything.

 

I simply can’t…

“Quando Vier a Primavera” by Alberto Caeiro

Ξ July 3rd, 2011 | → 0 Comments |
∇ Fun, Life | ∇ , , , |

    Quando vier a Primavera,
    Se eu já estiver morto,
    As flores florirão da mesma maneira
    E as árvores não serão menos verdes que na Primavera passada.
    A realidade não precisa de mim.

    Sinto uma alegria enorme
    Ao pensar que a minha morte não tem importância nenhuma

    Se soubesse que amanhã morria
    E a Primavera era depois de amanhã,
    Morreria contente, porque ela era depois de amanhã.
    Se esse é o seu tempo, quando havia ela de vir senão no seu tempo?
    Gosto que tudo seja real e que tudo esteja certo;
    E gosto porque assim seria, mesmo que eu não gostasse.
    Por isso, se morrer agora, morro contente,
    Porque tudo é real e tudo está certo.

    Podem rezar latim sobre o meu caixão, se quiserem.
    Se quiserem, podem dançar e cantar à roda dele.
    Não tenho preferências para quando já não puder ter preferências.  
     O que for, quando for, é que será o que é.

         by Alberto Caeiro (Fernando Pessoa)

It seems to be a good idea!

 

 

Hoarder

Last week used some of my vacation time to “clean up” my bookmark list (e.g. archive by date/subject). It’s amazing the huge amount of bookmarks that one saves to “read it” later. I have thousands of bookmarked urls… and that’s simply stupid!

After spending a nice afternoon with the bookmarks, it was time to do the same with the items “starred” in google reader. Each star is supposed to represent a “read it” later, but I never get arround to do any really reading. I have thousand of “starred” items… and that’s simply stupid!

@ neofob

According to Wikipedia, hoarding is described as a compulsive behaviour to aquire excessive “possessions”, and eventually fail to use or discard them. I seem to suffer from a “light” case of bookmark hoarding.

I don’t know about the kid’s father, but I’m hoping the boy grows up fast. Soon he’ll be able to receive toys like Lego Technic! And Lego Technic are AWESOME! For now… Lego Duplo.

For my dauther… let’s just say we’ll be making music soon enough. Can’t divulge more, since she might read the blog before Christmas!

There you have it, I’m back. Almost after two months since the last post I have again some free time to write some new posts. They are coming in just a bit!. Oh, by the way… I’m on vacations! :-)

 

Yes, it’s true…

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‘Eureka!’ (I found it!) but ‘That’s funny …’

 


On the nightstand...
