Appeared in at least 3 newspapers today, there is word from the Euroscience Open Forum 2008 that the EU is currently considering the prospect of feeding electricity to Europe from a Solar Plant which would be based at the Sahara desert. Apparently only the 0.3% of the sunlight in the zone would be able to power the whole Europe.Now of course there are constraints like the construction of a

In 6 days, on Jan the 25th, the last album of Ayreon, 01011001, will be out.Because of the recent personal turmoil Arjen (Ayreon's mastermind) went through, he himself said that this album would have strong emotions on it.Take a look at the teaser trailer :can you feel the chill ? :-)For the record, the sound is way better if you go check the trailer available at Ayreon's website.You can find a

3724 pages and 10 months later, I’ve now finished the Night’s Dawn Trilogy by SF writer Peter F Hamilton.The only way to define the story is as a wild ride.3000+ pages for a story make it a lengthy one. Specially the first book, it can be incredibly tedious and boring at times, with the endless description of the climate and jungle of a planet named Lalonde (kind of the galaxy’s ar**hole). Then

Calm before the storm, calm after the storm… you decide.The F1 season this year has been particularly addictive and controversial.We’ve seen, love, hate, despair, vanity, leech, pride, counterfeit, espionage, speculation, speculation and more speculation and some even more bad, naughty press, and on top of that Ju**s himself is leading the apostles’ classification at the end of the show because

So, it's on the first page of the sports sections of all European online newspapers : McLaren got today a fine of 1mill$ for their part on the spying case w/ Ferrari. The pilots were left untouched. I leave with one of the photos to be found on the most sensationalist Spanish sports newspaper. Enjoy. :-))

So, after this weekend's events, Alonzo has apparently been told by McLaren that he is free to leave at the end of the season if he so wishes.This is only good for everybody. Alonzo can now concentrate on winning without being downplayed by his own team, McLaren gets the pilot they always desired, without any other cocks on the team (and they can have him, aaaall of him) and somebody is going to

So, the news yesterday was that Lewis Hamilton had been instructed to step aside for two laps so Alonso could try to make some good times. His time would come later.Then the frat boy decided not to abide by the instructions of his own team.As a result, the team decided to make him wait a little on boxes, instructing Alonso not to move his car, which was blocking Hamilton's. The result is that

The weather in Brussels actually sucks for this part of the year. If you ever dare to go out, you’d better go with an umbrella, backpack for your sweater/pull, sunglasses as well as a cap, the whole nine yards, because the term “four seasons in a day” has never been more true.But I actually went out and I even managed to have a siesta on a garden’s bench and under the warm sunlight, for several

Listenig to Frequence Banane the other day, I catched up a bit of a long instrumental song with very nice melodic rock music.I noted the strange name of the band (The Evpatoria Report), the even stranger name of the song, "prognoz", and made a mental note to have a look at it later on.This morning I was on the internet and visited their site. There is not much on it, some bio notes (Swiss band,

I discovered Fréquence Banane several years ago. With a singular name, the radio station is composed by a hundred or so members of the University de Lausanne (a memorable and beautiful French-speaking city in Switzerland, on the shore of lake Léman). The radio is available on FM, cable and the Internet. With no pub on air, it is a radio by and for the students.When I found the radio I was quite

After watching 2046 in a theater a couple of years ago, I wasn’t on the mood for another film of Wong Kar Wai, came what may. This would be the first film that would have made me sleep on the theater, ever. I saw mixed critics online for that film and even though everybody said it wasn’t up to his latest one, in the mood for love, I decided that one is enough.But then again, if his previous one

8 days.Eight days I have taken to finish the latest book that I had the chance to buy at the Fnac in Barcelona.This time I was looking for a book on my mother tongue (after years of reading everything in English, I just needed a change) and found a book on the “new books” section which summary looked nice, so I took it.The writer is José Carlos Somoza.

This is it. The first season of Heroes has just finished here in the land where Dr. Evil was born.Thrilled fan from the beginning, the series has very bright chapters all along the season. This last chapter is more like closure and so not many new things happen, but it is overall enjoyable and even lets you some doors open and new enigmas towards the end.If I had to choose between the story and

This was to be the first time I’d be in Catalunya, more specifically in Barcelona. I’ve been to a few places in Spain already, but this could very well be the only state I have still not been to. On the other hand, coming from Spain it is actually quite common not to have visited all the places and villages in the country. Most people only know the places their relatives live on and the places on

There is always this romantic thing about the films which mingle with voyages in the future or past.You instantly want the main character to be able to change bad things which happened in the past so to amend his life and have a better future. It’s like the films with starships, it’s all so seamless that the cool factor gets you almost instantly. You go back to your childhood and dream of

The day has begun early this morning. At 6h30 the first subset of my neural subroutines responded to a stimuli which was the alarm clock crying for its life. As a result, a more complex reflex routine was activated and got me through the bathroom, wardrobe, a small breakfast and through the door at the main entrance, not necessarily in this same order (I wouldn't be able to tell exactly which).

Long weekends are to be savoured like a distilled fragrance... when I opened my eyes this morning, the sun was already knocking at my window, only I refused to move, slowly savouring the first moments of the morning. Just after lunch I sat down and prepared to see a film that I had been looking for a long time already. I did not know if it was a good or bad one, only that it wouldn't stand in

When I got into my bedroom, there was that funny smell so typical of a library... was I that absorbed the whole day ?I approached the window and drew the curtains apart.

I was wandering aimlessly in the middle of a local market of a north african city. On the air, the voices and sounds from the hectic activity, as well as the sweet hypnotic cacophony coming from the music shops around. I was dragged from aisle to aisle by the attraction power of the scents and colors alone. A trailing hand looked forward to record all possible sensations from the environment,

I recently got myself to watch the last Bond film... or should I say the first ?Yes yes, it's all actually a little bit confusing. This last bond film, Casino Royale, is all about Bond being inexperienced, committing mistakes, being unsure and constantly following orders, being shocked and sweaty at the sight of death and missing by far the very basic concept of style (“because we know what he

He woke up alone, not knowing where he was. He had been sleeping in a big, wooden bed with white cotton sheets, made of the kind of light fabric that was always used during summer.

Octavarium is the last song of the 8th Dream Theater album, with the same name.The 24-min song unfolds softly, like morning light slowly caressing your skin while you are still drowsy from your night's sleep...

I was trying to alleviate concentration stress when I thought about playing some music. So after going through my old cd's, here is the playlist I just did from scratch :Angra (Angels Cry) => Never UnderstandAngra (Angels Cry) => Evil WarningBlur (Blur) => BeetlebumCeline Dion (All The Way...A Decade Of Song) => That's The Way It IsDepeche Mode (Black Celebration) => Fly on the Windscreen -

Hello, I recently finished the season/chapters catch-up for the best TV series I've seen, ever (yes, even better than the Fresh Prince... or not?).It all started a while ago when I first saw that face on a videoclub, that nice visage close-up of a woman, that funny futuristic style on the fonts used for an even more futuristic word in rosy tones : Galactica.I told myself that this would only be

...allongé dans la terrasse, contemplatif, je regardais les étoiles dans la nuit.Ah, t’es là, viens me rejoindre !Oui donc, je parlais tantôt avec les étoiles, tu sais, et elles me racontaient chacune l’ensemble de tes vertus.Approche, regarde, celle-ci me décrivait ton sourire et le comparait à celui du nouveau-né, beau en sa simplicité.Et quand celle-là me parlait de ta voix, cristalline comme

I wonder why oh why not one of the NG consoles feature DivX/Xvid/...-encoded movie files' reproduction out of the box. Sure, mods will come, but with the hardware one pays for, and for the price one is supposed to pay, I'd want a media player in addition to the gaming features, something which would be the main equipment for entertainment on the main room, would it be gaming, watching video or

...last weekend I had the opportunity to see the latest chef d’oeuvre de Hayao Miyazaki : Howl’s Moving Castle (imdb).If you already watched Sen to Chihiro, you already know what to expect… but for those new to this animation master, I could try to describe his films as having the joy to dream, to dream about wonderful stories like the good ones we read when we were child, to daydream about them

Sunday morning, sleep is still heavy on the eyelids and thoughts start slowly to pour on... Before you notice the week is gone but at least you can have the luxury of watching a cold day go by while coccooning in a hot place with a good book and a cup of your favorite hot drink. A perfect December's Sunday.So I decided that I could do with a little writing and here we are.Last week I saw the Da

Finally, no Dahlia, no Johansson, no nothing. I’m stuck with a rhinoph. on my warm room, listening to Tommy, eating crystals every time I try to swallow and wishing the human body needn’t have to breathe at all. Well, bugger, its life.I’ll seize the opportunity to write a few words about some little piece of techno I recently put my hands on : a Sony-Ericsson w300i. I formerly had a Samsung and,

During my recent holidays I brought two books w/me : the Reality Dysfunction (see the list at the right) and Hyperion. I already had begun the second although I found myself stuck at the third story somehow, forcing myself to read it, and despite the quality of the narrative. So, to resume, I was simply unable to open the book :POn the other hand, the book from Peter F. Hamilton caught my

So… here I am, just back from several days of absence which I employed doing one of the small tours of mine: Brussels, Paris, Madrid, Malaga and Tanger. All the american way (I'll talk about it some day later...)Among all the stories and things to share, here’s one… On one of the stops, I had the occasion to go to the local theatres to see the latest Woody'. I really loved the last one, Match

…Casablanca was aired on TCM this night. I had never had the chance to see the film completely and the little I’d seen did not really convince me that much. I just had the impression the film was somehow overrated. Well, this time I just missed some minutes on the beginning and, while I found it a little bit difficult, I finally enjoyed the film until the end. I always have the impression that

Hey y'all!I was just remembering that there has been a while since I last went to the movies to see something worth mentioning, a little more since I saw a film that really stunned me...Taking a look at the local theaters I still fail to see something that would make me willing to spend my time and money into.For example :Sin City 2 : should arrive during november, but I wonder how good will it

Hello world.I recently logged on IRC for the first time in 8 years. Not knowing which channel I would prefer joining, I just choose the SF channel and engagin in some conversations I rediscovered all the authors, films and books I had already in my past. One of the users kept a site with his comments on several films and it came to me that it would be interesting to open a blog with the excuse of
