The best invention of recent times

Hi everyone. The issue today is techonology. Technology has given us many ways to make life easier  and more fun. For example, today it is very easy and fast to communicate through  technological artifacts, because it is not necessary to send a carrier pigeon or write letters –for example-.
 The most important technological object in my life -right now- is my notebook. Without him I could write my college work, nor seek information about anything when I needed. A notebook is a portable computer; you can charge the battery and keep it off for acouple of hours while in the library, in the backyard or anywhere. I can also save a lot of music files or movies. In this way, when I'm bored looking for something new to see or hear.
I have my notebook two years ago, when my father gave me for Christmas. At that time I was very excited because he had waited long for him. Before of having my notebook I had to go to bed too late if needed to do a job. But nowI can study all night, but lying on my bed. The only bad thing about this is that you become very dependent on this device. No longer used only for study or listen to music but to view online ridiculous. In this regard,you must be very careful not to fall into this addiction, because then you start to be asloppy, lazy person.

Ciudad Pintura



Hi, this time I have to write about a career-related website that I enjoy visiting. 
My favorite Website is http://www.ciudadpintura.com . In this Web you can found a lot of paintings, organized in different ways.  

This site is a virtual gallery created by “Ayúdale a caminar” corporation, who work for labor integration of disabled people. When you are inside of the site, you see a Mona Lisa picture with a little text to explain that work. The background is navy blue, and above you can see six portraits of painters, constantly changing colors (Dürer, Van Gogh, El Bosco, among others).  To the left, there are many white links. The first says “general information”, when you can know about the corporation (who are they and where they are located).  Below, there is a link to go visiting the Main Gallery, and you can search pictures to these categories: Authors (authors suggested, general list of authors), Museums (Suggested Museums, general list of museums), Chronology and Styles (Prehistory to XVIII century, XIX century to the present) and Rail Art (with the description of the space dedicated to trains and a List of pieces)
I like this Web because you can download a lot of pictures that sometimes are difficult to get.  
Here you can see a picture that I found in this site …. and I love it!

Music to the roaD

I love listen to music because I love hear all the sounds involved. This time I'll talk about my favorite bands and what kind of music they do. Well, as I said last time, the name "Mezzanine" it's a reference to the band "Massive Attack"... this band have a very experimental style, because the electronic sounds mixed with the rock guitars. They are considered precursors of the trip-hop genre.
A Perfect Circle is also one of my favorite bands. They are a rock band, and they formed in 1999. I like all of their albums, especially “Mer de Noms” (french for "Sea of names"). The interesting of this album it's the name of  the songs with titles like "Judith" or "Thomas" or "Magdalena"... I don't know why, but is very curious. I think this album is balance, there are crazy songs and there are some very beautiful!

Now, a video of this great band! **(Is a cover to John Lennon)
enjoy!!!!
