El año pasado comentaba sobre el servicio de la página "Library Thing", básicamente es un lugar en donde si uno no sabe qué leer, coloca un autor o el título de una determinada obra y le dirá qué otros libros recomendaron otros lectores que leyeron ése libro. Algo así como el servicio que figura en Amazon y otros lugares de compra virtuales en donde dice: "La persona que compró este (libro, cd, película, etc.) ,...

Of possible interest to readers of this blog are 2 presentations that are part of Panel 3B (Endings 2) on Sunday,...

The Boedo´s neighborhood also carries memories of the literature movements that happened in the 1920's. Jorge Luis Borges said "I would rather have been part of the Boedo group"...
el 2008.05.31Now forgive me, but folk here still has yet to supersaturate his brain cells such that they are inundated with lipofuscin granules or to the point of rupturing liposome?s filled and releasing hydrolytic enzymes in my brain. I know I may have a bazaar taste in literature and that I have yet to read Tru to the game or Fly Girl, but truth is that I have read a nice coterie of books. One that I have thought of recently in jest was Nella Larsen?s Quicksand and Passing (Looks like Cap-city huh). Nella Larsen...
VS Naipaul odia y lo odian. Fuente: newstatesman Si creen que el único que despotrica contra el "mundillo" literario es Carlos Ruiz Zafón, están equivocados. Miren estas declaraciones del premio Nóbel, y célebre gruñón, V.S. Naipaul dichas en el Hay Festival y recogidas por The Telegraph: ?These things are unimportant and meaningless,? says Sir Vidia of the festival, attended this year by such literary heavyweights as Cherie Blair, Katherine...

The sophisticated and new representative of the humanity has arrived in Mars: the NASA’s polar spacecraft Mars Phoenix Lander, with sophisticated scientific instruments to analyze the terrain of the mysterious north pole of Mars. The spacecraft, which has already sent wonderful (and amazingly familiar) images of the Red Planet’s landscape, also has a mini DVD (made of silicon) where there are the names of 250000 people. The idea of sending such a disk was planned by The Planetary Society, a...

el 2008.05.27We can not say that the habit of reading is becoming extinct, but we say that is changing. In fact, in the world ever read more, only differently. The computer, Internet, text messages and others have broken into modern life by changing the attitude we had in front of the book. Schoolchildren visiting the Web rather than the library, reading from a screen, that information may not be as complete as one that could be found at this level before. This phenomenon is becoming more common, and requires a change...

It's a choice between a small sure loss -- the cost of the security product -- and a large risky loss: for example, the results of an attack on one's network... [A]ll things being equal, buyers would rather take the chance that the attack won't happen than suffer the sure loss that comes from...

Well, guess what? don Quijote.org (the school) is proud to have...
