Glenn Gould

Glenn Gould - un perfectionist. In 1964 a renuntat sa mai apara in concerte de pian si s-a dedicat exclusiv inregistrarilor si aparitiilor in televiziune si radio.
 
Un exemplu - partea a treia a Concertului Italian - aici.

Limba de lemn

Daca ati terminat de lecturat tot ce a scos Caragiale si nu mai aveti nimic altceva de citit:
"Cererea Senatului de investigare a legalitatii proiectului Cathedral Plaza este o decizie care va pune Senatul intr-o lumina extrem de delicata, pentru ca el cere Guvernului si Inspectoratului de Stat in Constructii sa adopte o hotarare, incercand sa impuna o anume decizie. Inspectoratul de Stat in Constructii si Guvernul nu pot actiona decat in baza legilor, iar Senatul avea raportul de control al Inspectoratului de Stat in Constructii. Sigur, decizia Senatului este suverana".

Rare flower blooms

This is maybe not the flower you would offer to your wife, but it is indeed interesting...

The large Indonesian plant, whose botanical name is Amorphophallus titanum, began opening up about 6 p.m. Friday and was in full bloom by early Saturday morning, curator Debbie Wiley-Vawter said in a telephone interview Monday.

The plant emits a stench to attract decaying flesh-eating beetles, flies and sweat bees for pollination. Once it blooms, the odor lingers for about eight hours, then it takes several more years before the plant has enough energy to bloom again.

How bad does it smell?

"It's like several days old road kill on a hot, sunny day," Wiley-Vawter said.

Quantum computer solves problem, without running

I can't really understand the technical details so far, but it looks pretty weird:
 
 
Niels Bohr said once that if you think that you understand quantum mechanics, then you don't really understand it. Well said, at least I have an excuse.

A incetat din viata Alexandru Paleologu

Unele din putinii "contemporani" care, in mintea mea, deja intrasera in eternitate inca de pe timpul vietii, prin scrierile lor.
 
Mi-a placut enorm tot ce a scris: Bunul simt ca paradox, sau chiar "Treptele lumii sau calea catre sine...". Un spirit jovial, care te cucerea prin sinceritate.
 
Insa, ca si Eliade, era speriat, poate depasit de avantul (si entuziasmul) tehnologic din zilele noastre. Poate o reactie prea conservatoare... insa de inteles din punctul de vedere al unui om care punea cultura mai presus de orice. La urma urmei, lumea de azi a pierdut mult din entuziasmul pentru cultura de acum cateva generatii.

Nicolae Steinhardt

 
Cred ca exista in viata oricui un set de zece carti care cuprind mai mult de 80% din conceptia de viata a persoanei respective. Pentru mine, Jurnalul Fericirii ramane una din cartile mele "de suflet".

Cam liniste pe blog-ul asta.

Vorba lui Melisandru... blog parasit? Ei nu. Realmente, nu ma consider un tip vorbaret... Eu zic ca se poate vorbi si la 0.001bps :-)

Noile aventuri ale lui Habarnam (in India)

Cel mai meserias blog pe care l-am citit in ultimele 10 zile: http://www.mariusursache.com/

[Ro] Mexic

Am fost in Mexic acum cateva zile la Puerto Vallarta. Seamana cu litoralul romanesc... pacat ca n-am facut niste poze mai autentice. Lipsa de spatiu pt poze, ce sa-i faci s-a terminat filmul.

Oricum, din selectii au ramas astea.

[En] My Dear Blog

There is something similar between diaries and blogs. However, as I just searched on msn, the "My dear blog" phrase is almost absent. I found this interesting. Probably because blogs are about socializing?

[En] Kids and us

Today I woke up late. My daughter (three years and one day, at this very moment) started to get nervous - Hey dad, come up!

And I realized that kids take the life more serious than we. I still remember her curious face as I teached her how to wash her teeth. In the end, heh, it must be good to be a kid. You are surrounded all the time by novel stuff, everything shocks you. Every five minutes, you see something that you never saw before...

[En] Blogs, blogs everywhere

Probably blogs were create for people that love to send email, to send verbose messages, long letters. To open their mind, whatever that means. I'm not sure if this is my case. I am actually on the opposite. From time to time, in my whole life there comes this moment when I stare in horror to a blank sheet of paper, not knowing what to say. Or, in this case, to a nice, rectangular, white rectange on my screen. Whatever. I guess I started writing to get over this... umm... fear of writing?
 
Anyway, talking is good. I kind of feel the effects of the surrogate. Artificial sugar is good. I love sugar.
 
P.S. I case you are wondering, no, I haven't read anything by Freud :-)
Did you?
