Men on the Moon

| No Comments

It's almost forty years since men landed on the Moon.

It's incredible that there are people that still don't believe that men have actually done that.

After the break, a movie just released by NASA on the subject.

Long time don't see!

There's a very long time since I last posted an entry to this blog. I, myself, wonder why!!!

Is English that Hard to Understand?

| No Comments

I really don't think that English is too hard, but maybe it's only me!

Some time ago, Apple released the Beta iPhone SDK, and with it a Developer Program that anyone could enroll, and that would be necessary to have one's apps eventually available at the App Store. After a couple of days, Apple started sending messages to the people that applied, and all of the messages had the same wording:

Ouch!

I've been trying to write something here for a lot of time, but things are not so easy! I hope I can restart this blog soon, and write here more often.

Maybe, if I really get an iPhone next week I'll be able to use it to write and keep this blog up-to-date!

Born Again

This guy was travelling going from right to left on the photo, when for some reason he left the road, turned around 180 degrees and stopped just after the manhole pipe:

Common Errors in English

Writing in English is not as easy as it seems to many people, mostly those who don't have English as their first language. That's my case, and I have more than often strugled with some words that I know but, at the same time, I mix with other similar words.

This site, Common Errors en English, came to rescue people like me.

I think even people who natively speak English may benefit from this site. It has loads of words that may be confused, and explains very well the use of each one.

Changing to English

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

From now on I am going to write my posts in English. Besides that I have managed to put a link to Digg along with the entries text, so I guess English will be easier for people to follow.

Let's see if I can make the visit number to this page increase!

Zeitgeist

Não conhecia essa expressão!

O significado, de acordo com a Wikipedia, é "espírito de uma época". Ou seja, a palavra é usada para descrever o clima intelectual e cultural de uma época.

Esse é também o nome de um filme que foi lançado somente na internet, e que pode também ser visto em DVD, vendido pelo site.

A publicação The Economist acabou de publicar um mapa mundial com uma pesquisa do Gallup onde estão avaliações da felicidade de muitos países do mundo. É interessante notar uma certa correlação entre riqueza e felicidade.
