Delicious is trendy.The best things are not always on top. So, a better social bookmark service is SIMPY. Take a look at it. I use it for my classes. A more complex and efficient way of searching, retrieving, storing, editing, sharing information is the combination of GDocs, Gmail and Google Reader.

A very good (perhaps even better) alternative is Google Notebook: http://rodcorbett.blogspot.com/2007/03/google-notebook.html.

Comment on Botero's Abu Ghraib series
Posted on October 12, 2007

We can't make better individuals using sadistic methods. Abu Ghraib was another blow for the official American propaganda on freeedom, democracy,human rights etc. On the other hand, I would ask the artist why hadn't he felt the need to create similar series about the executions and suicide attacks carried out by the islamic fundamentalists.

Comment on consumerism and women

I agree with it. But the sad part is that even today (almost) nothing has been learned from the past: the market forces are as greedy as ever, and the socialist/communist projects are ressurecting. I come (speaking in terms of time) from a former (?) communist country, and I know very well that just the basic commodities were short in most of the communist era and the "people democracy" had "no control over what commodities are produced (or services performed), in what amounts, under what conditions, or how they are distributed".

Comment on NUMEROLOGY (I)
Posted on June 13, 2007

Perhaps I am wrong, but it seems that (with all these exclamation and question marks) the anonymous post implies irony and derision. If so, I could enter a dialog with the author of the post and give him/her more details. Of course, I didn't advance here a recipe for life, and I am not in the category of persons who over enthusiastically hand over their "smart" crumbs of knowledge and experience as if they just had discovered the world. After all, as I said, I uploaded the two texts for people already familiar with numerology.
