Some music found on Indy.tv
Aug 9th
There used to be a site called Indy.tv that was basically a radio that went on playing music submitted by independent artists.
A user would rate music, and indy.tv would try to play stuff he/she liked. This was similar to last.fm and a multitude of other more recent services.
Well, I found out some awesome music through that service, and I haven’t seen these bands resurface, so I decided to start uploading videos to youtube with these songs that used to be available on Indy.tv.
My taste is not, by far, universal. But for me these are memorable songs, so I’m going to hope someone out there discovers them through this effort.
Enjoy!

Internet tidbits
Feb 17th
Little online lessons in the form of pictures. Screenshots from here and there.
1 – Information easily hides subliminal messages. Find the hidden message;
Information comes in all forms and usually in very small packages. It’s very easy to get lost and to loose things.
2 – The internet is something with a global character. A more and more evident character;
Chinese, so easy!

Kids wearing boxers inside swim-trunks. Why do they do it. This explains why. Sort of.
The Fourrier Transform

This one is a bit far fetched, so for an explanation: it’s a pun on the European military rank Fourier and the mathematical Fourier Transform.
Song Translations: doismileoito – Acordes Com Arroz
Aug 5th
Inside me something
Keeps me from loving the sun.
I see it merely as light,
Merely as sun.
I want the rain and the cold
So in given time,
I’ll value your warmth.
Afraid of the early nightfall.
When I feel the cold,
I fear not feeling at all.
Who cares what’s good,
If there is no evil.
Just as faces in a postcard,
Don’t want it like this
But I am like this.
I fear the evil, but want it again.
More than a worn shoe,
I feel this is the end.
Bury all the pain and bones in your garden,
Ask the sky for some clouds to harden.
The Portuguese flag tryout
Jul 23rd
Was here pondering about this problem. You see, there are these things called flags…
and i was wondering about them. In particular about flags i am familiar with.
Are flags important? You bet they are. As Eddie Izzard puts it, “no flag no country“. You can’t declare you are a nation without a nation flag or something of the sort.
From here, i could go on and debate (or whatever you do when you talk to yourself) on what exactly is a country. But i’ll stick to flags as a symbol of a country.
And since there is a whole scholarly study dedicated to flags, I’ll restrict myself and stick to a flag i am familiar with.
Presenting, the Portuguese flag:
Interesting isn’t it?

I do much stuff on the interwebs. Me and a couple of other people. It’s mostly useless stuff.
Well, some of it is very far-fetched, and i recon we have amassed some useful knowledge.
This is the place where we will post some of that stuff.
There are a couple of rules we will use:
1) we don’t do it for popularity
2) don’t’ post about posts
3) original articles first
4) avoid reviews
5) avoid talking about recent events
6) avoid the hype
new rules will appear
