- La infancia es un lugar. Común, ya lo sé, pero es lo que nos hace iguales a todos. El pasado compartido, el tiempo anterior a la vergüenza, al rencor y a la filosofía. Es el hogar de los recuerdos olvidados pero revividos cada día por millones de ojos que miran así, ajenos por un instante al frío, los regalos, el hambre y los mimitos. Hace meses escuché a un hombre decir que la tierra seguía dando vueltas arrastrada por las madres que empujan sus carritos. |

- Se lo digo así, en inglés, para que puedan acceder a este post los que lo hacen a través de los ordenadores de la Xunta de Galicia. Cuentan los que saben (lo hizo flexar) que el Sol anda caliente, o quizá sólo resfriado, pero tanto que está lanzando en nuestra dirección ingentes cantidades de plasma (particulas cargadas, y no precisamente de vida) que se nos viene encima amenazando con ponernos perdido de auroras el escudo magnético de la Tierra. A ver si me entero bien y les afino un poco. En cualquier caso, no olviden ponerse chubasquero blanco. |

- ¿Creen Vds que hay alguna relación entre las mentirijillas de Sara Montiel sobre el objeto de su fugaz matrimonio y las mentirijillas de, pongamos, Eduardo Tamayo sobre sus motivos para abandonar el grupo socialista en la comunidad de Madrid? ¿O con las mentiras de Sáenz de Tejada sobre la naturaleza de sus relaciones con los constructores que lo tenían a sueldo como empleado de una fotocopiadora? ¿Habrá alguna relación entre estas pequeñas mentiras y las mentiras de Felipe González sobre su implicación en los GAL? ¿Y con las mentiras de Aznar sobre las causas para unirse a la cruzada militar contra Irak? Antes de seguir, si Vds creen que en alguno de los casos citados no hay mentiras de por medio, pueden seguir leyendo el Pronto o votando con la conciencia tranquila cada vez que haya elecciones. |

New Era (Oct 30 2003 04:34 GMT) - a 25 year era ended today for me. The table in the picture below is our new solid cherry table. It replaces a table that I have grown up with since I was 10. My parents bought it when we moved into a new house in 1978 and it stayed with them till about 9 years ago when Sandy and I needed a table for our first rental place. In the last 2 years the boys have pretty much ruined the cushions, so when we moved into the new house I promised Sandy a new table and this is it. |

- The built in search feature of the Google Toolbar is the core reason most download the handy browser add-on. However, the pop-up blocker may be the most loved feature among many users. Of course, those of us in the search marketing industry also love the PageRank meter, as well as the backward link checker and other geeky tools. My prediction is that the Google toolbar will become a fixture in their personalization and localization efforts. Unlike a cookie, the toolbar could store preferences separately from the browser infrastructure. |

- I found an interesting self-test. It's not a "fun quiz" or meme-food, it's a real, albeit short, test of how you explain good and bad events in your life. Some people, the ones who give up easily, habitually say of their misfortunes: "It's me, it's going to last forever, it's going to undermine everything I do." Others, who resist giving in to misfortune, say: |

- I've spent part of today converting the digital video of the Zap Your PRAM conference into web streams. I've been dumping the MiniDV tapes that Dan recorded using Kelly's Canon ZR25 digital video recorder into my iMac using a fireware cable. I've been using iMovie on the iMac to chop the video up into bits, add titles, and dump back out as QuickTime files that, eventually, silverorange will strap to their infinite bandwidth. iMovie's great: simple, quick, flexible. |

- Here's the BabyCenter.com list of destinations to avoid when travelling with children: Avoid country inns Avoid foreign travel Avoid staying with friends Avoid theme parks In our experience, most "travelling with kids" advice is best ignored, if not completely turned on its head. So my advice is to take your kids to a theme park in a foreign country and stay with friends who run a country inn. |

- "A RULING by an employment tribunal, awarding more than £33,000 to a Pakistani Muslim who claimed he was racially discriminated against by his Indian Sikh employers, was welcomed yesterday by anti-racism organisations in Scotland. They said that the case highlighted the fact that racial discrimination was not always 'black and white'. It could also be 'black and black'." |

- Finally, a Useful Bluetooth Device "I'm standing in the middle of a half-empty Silicon Valley parking lot, grinning like an idiot and holding a circuit board festooned with wires and other accoutrement. The cord from my Bose noise-canceling headphones snakes out of the board while, inside my head, I hear the clear dulcet tones of my favorite new band, The Assembly of Dust. Why am I so happy? Because my Nomad Zen MP3 player – which is providing the tunes – |
