A.'.A.'.

As I have mentioned in yesterday’s blog post, I was planning to put together a number of different entries with the highlights from the superb EventoBlog 2008 that I attended in Seville, over the weekend, to then let you folks know some more of what the experience was like, my impressions, what I learned, some [...]

After a day and a half of a massive catchup; after a wonderful week on holidays, which ended up with yours truly attending (And presenting) at EventoBlog 2008 in Seville last weekend, it is now time to resume my regular blogging activities on my second day back at work! Goodness! What a fantastic few days! [...]

I was on my way to put together a new blog post over here on this blog, one of the various drafts I have got piled from the plenty of stuff that happened this week, and to comment on a few others I have bumped into in the last couple of days, yet my brain [...]

Incredibly busy day today. One where I wish I could clone myself to be in multiple places attending some of the really cool events happening all over. Alas, not going to happen, so I better get going with something really really cool that has just launched earlier on today. It is coming from IBM (Usual [...]

It’s been a little while now since last time I posted about this. My holidays kicked in, a bunch of business trips followed and the usual catchup has delayed a bit the sharing of this blog post. Yes, indeed, as you may have seen it already, The Sweettt Show is back! And with that both [...]

Dorchester 1 - Oxford 3 (FA Cup, November 19, 2008)

San Marino 0 - Czech Republic 3 (2010 World Cup qualifier, November 19, 2008) San Marino did well to hold out in the first half but Radoslav Kovac quickly gave the visitors the lead after the break and Zdenek Pospech doubled their advantage on 53 minutes. Substitute Tomas Necid bagged the third seven minutes from [...]

Germany 1 - England 2 (International Friendly, November 19, 2008) (Extended highlights here.) England took the lead in Berlin thanks to horrible goalkeeping from Rene Adler, the keeper flapping at a Downing corner which Matthew Upson eventually turned over the line. Germany’s equaliser came after a nightmare mis-communication between John Terry and Scott Carson. Neither [...]

To recap from yesterday’s post: ?My dream is Barca, but to say that isn?t new. The whole world knows that I have dreamed forever about going to Barca.? - Andrei Arshavin, July 18, 2008. ?The stable situation in the club and the influence of Arsene Wenger to Arsenal to English football is huge. I think this is [...]

Death is a tree. It grows toward the light. And the light-within branches through the body like a tree. In the dark long after, things happen as if they were not recalled. Those two passages probably mean nothing to you. Each of these four sentences is an agent of intelligence who dwells among the resemblances. What are these resemblances who confront you as you first enter the Inner Lips of

Consciousness is a light that once burned deep in the stars. Reason is not its outcome but its suffering. I think about that every time I come here, to the end of this road. Look how abruptly the asphalt terminates. The boundary of the artificial frames the indivisible. That frame is our sanity. And the faded line of paint --- it?s famous in all our lives, isn?t it? A line of agreement more

Our snakewalk begins here, at the ordinary world of houses, cars and parking lots. In the background, the Goddess dwells. This is Koko Crater, which from the perspective of Honolulu to the west looks like a typical promontory. Seen from here, at the southeast corner of O?ahu, the cinder cone exposes two coalesced craters, which the first island settlers named Kohelepelepe: the Inner Lips of the

A sea snake bit me last month. While wading at night in Mauna Lua Bay, I felt a hot charge of pain at my ankle that flared up my leg, banged through my heart and punched the bags under my eyes. I thought it was a moray. But it was a venomous snake. The next morning, my whole body vibrated like a freeway to the next world. I got myself to the ER and, waiting there, watched the lights go down in my
