The unseen world of energy
April 22, 2013
Have you ever wondered why life is so difficult? Or boring?
Have you ever wished you were born some other place, some other time?
Have you ever felt like you do not belong on this planet? Like life is too long? Or like you are running out of time?
Like you should have been a woman? Or a man? (or something else?)
Do you know why you are afraid of spiders, snakes, heights, being left alone, drowning?
Of living, dying, illness, old age, losing your mind?
Of driving, crossing the street, somebody drinking from your glass, success, failure, loving, being loved?
Losing your best friend, never finding your soulmate, never having that perfect boss, public speaking, meeting new people, etc.
(hint: the list of fears, waaaaay too long…)
Have you ever tried to understand why certain people keep coming back into your life? Or they don’t?
Do you feel unexplainably tired and…

Hey guys! A while ago I had to make something in Illustrator and Photoshop for a class called ‘Architectural Computing’. For Illustrator, we had to choose a famous architectural building and make it look like a cartoon. And for Photoshop we had to make a collage with a building in it we designed ourselves, a piece of nature, a person etc. This is what I came up with. I chose the building of Rem Koolhaas called ‘Casa Da Mùsica’ and my collage was inspired on the fact that people always follow other people. So, people are all the same, that’s why I made them grey. We forget about nature and all his beauty. We just rush through our lives and don’t see the beauty off it. I just wanted to stand still by this fact.

If a squat, cardboard-framed robot with a high-pitched voice started asking you questions, would you answer it? Would you share your troubles? Unload your concerns?
Many people would — at least, that’s what roboticist and artist Alex Reben has found. He unleashed the smiling bot Boxie in the halls of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to see what people would share with a robot. His work and other research suggest we’re not so averse to bearing our souls to the bots. In some cases, we’ll even tell them things we wouldn’t admit to each other.
In fact, Reben suggests robots and dogs aren’t so different.
“Dogs are basically a human invention. They’re a technology,” Reben told HuffPost Live. “We’ve bred them to be companions over millennia, just like we’re designing robots, we’ve designed dogs to be companions.”

The rocky object that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago may have been a comet, rather than an asteroid, scientists say.
The 112-mile (180 kilometers) Chicxulub crater in Mexico was made by the impact that caused the extinction of dinosaurs and about 70 percent of all species on Earth, many scientists believe. A new study suggests the crater was probably blasted out by a faster, smaller object than previously thought, according to research presented this week at the 44th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands, Texas.

Once Upon A Time: The Hermit
April 20, 2013
Once upon a time there was a hermit. He lived with his garden along a hilltop in a desolate area of Shandong province. Every morning he would rise up and look out at the horizon, seeing the weather for the day and wondering about eternity.
At least, that was the purpose of his mountain retreat. Often the hermit awoke thinking about what chores needed to be done around the house, sighing because he needed to weed the garden and go down and see if the wild plums were ripe for drying.
And try as he might, the hermit couldn’t lose sight of his ragged clothes and wonder what the latest fashions were down in the valley.
Before he had been a hermit, the hermit had been a successful merchant. But when a fire took everything he had and his family had been forced to live with relatives in…
