- Even William Goldman would agree that not all recent movies stink.One of the best is director Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. Based on a book with a similar title, it's about a master forger in the 1960s, who, if a young hacker today, would be a brilliant social engineer and perhaps a great coder, too. This teenaged high school dropout didn't just forge $2.5 milion in checks. |

- Lo menos que puede pedir uno de un libro es que lo sorprenda a uno. Cuando un libro, como este, es diferente a lo que uno se espera, por lo menos, es de agradecer. De este muchacho ya conocía Clara o la penumbra; una novela de ciencia ficción e intriga, con ciertos toques de terror, que se publicó hace año y pico. Esta, por la lectura de la solapa, aparentaba una novela de fantasía: |

- Una de las grandes aportaciones andaluzas a la gastronomía universal son los desayunos. Es posible que fuera de Ándalucía haya una enorme variedad, pero, pongamos por caso, en Bruselas, se puede elegir entre gofres y cruasáns, con y sin chocolate, o con cosas untadas por medio, arriba o por abajo. Una visita a cualquier bar o cafetería andaluza te permite elegir entre suizos, medias, pulgas, pitufos, pan integral, manteca blanca, colorá, pringá, sobrasada, queso azul, aceite con o sin ajo, suizos plancha... y molletes. Molletes de Antequera, claro está. |

- There's an interesting article in the December issue of Inc.magazine, for anyone who hasn't seen it yet - "Internet Icebreakers: Friendster-like sites help small companies get a foot in the sales door." I get the feeling that US online networking is rather more overtly business-driven (Ryze is a good example) than it is here, but then commercialism isn't thought of in the same way here as it is in the US. Chacun a son whatsit, huh. |
