Playing bad news

I must admit that I'm rather vague on this to update the blog. It was also in part to not find anything to excite enough my attention to it here and comment.

Well, there have been several things that caught my attention, but not enough. What I caught my attention is how time passes. Sounds strange, I know, but looking back on my posts I see one on May 30 where he commented that going out to market the card game "A Game of Thrones" and the thumbnail of wow. Well, it turns out, the miniature game came out a month to the market (out the same day that the expansion), and the letters went out yesterday.

Regarding the thumbnail of wow I have to comment that the first impression was very good. The figures are painted and are great larger than usual in this type of game. From what little I tried the game say that it seems to be very fast. A small skirmish in plan three against three, where the complementarity of the figures is of utmost importance that actions are done quickly and without time for much strategy. Paste and then think. So the definition of the team seems the most important part of the game. When playing with only three figures appear not to need zillions of these figures to play, but always the factor collector strip on the ground all this theory. Not all are good things, the manual leaves much to be desired, some of the bases which are mounted figures are flawed (I read that on 60%) and the price a bit p'atrás strip.

The card game is another thing. To begin to say that I have little experience with card games. If you think a 50% success rate with a risky roll of the dice is (always come out the worst, Murphy) to say about the echo of having only three copies of a letter from sixty. Although good, the card is in the deck and know that if you have time, will end, while there given that they seem to lack a number and have surplus to someone else. Notes other than to say that their appearance is superb. In the first game took home the deck of the Stark and enjoyed the illustrations. They were also almost all my Starks, Ned, Robb, Arya, Sansa, ... with their wolves. I could not look much, but I have wanted to see everything in detail.

Now, like every new game, entered the learning phase. Now get to see what each figure and each letter. Figures and letters that pass to the shoe box marked "never play" and which cards will become the apple of your eye, what strategies will prove to be a suicide infallible. Well, we'll see. Now it's the most fun stage of any game, that you spend your time playing. Sincerely

Painting A Glazed Figurine



today has not been a day of good news.

The first has been learned of the death of one of the writers who I like. As I read in the papers Michael Crichton victim died yesterday of cancer at 66 years of age. The first thing I thought was in his books I've read, and especially in the book I have on my table, yours, which I read just a few pages. Then I realized the cruelty of the title "next". There will be his next book, and I was saddened by the macabre sense of humor with some things. Crichton leaves us, or at least to me, a bunch of good stories. Book full of adventure, intrigue and not so impossible future. Some only see the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park or time travel, but it is a personal issue that each sees in these stories. I will continue fascinated with his vision of technology and especially as I did see some things in a "state of fear." Ah! And let me not to mention his great contribution to other fields such as television, is the creator of ER, or the cinema with films like "The Andromeda Strain," "coma" and even went to Yul Brynner in "Westworld" (do not no comment on the quality of the latter film.)



The second bad news has to do with the wonderful government we have. On 23 October the Ministry of Heducación (Http://www.heducacion.com/home.php?goto=video) presented the tokens of the new titles of pollock, and master of all engineering. Well not all, the computer is not. They assert that computer engineering has no power and is a cross-sectional area and therefore should not be reflected in a specific degree. On the Professional College of Engineers of Andalusia (http://www.cpiia.org) give more information about it. Basically it's disappearance in Computer Engineering. In the absence of the possibility of new titles will not be comparable at any level, national or international. We can not have any professional assignment, not now and have not we ever have. Anyone can and will lead and manage a computer project (I would like to know that different engineers think if anyone could make a plan of a building or a road or anything similar). After reading this not to think about. If there are already working in our sector intrusion seems to have opened the doors wide for anyone to do our work.

I said, there has been a day of good news.

Ballerina Foot Injuries



The problem of returning to a site after a long time without doing is like entering, as you start. It happens after long time without talking to a friend. It happens after the tests do not go to the pool for a few weeks. I must admit that feeling of discomfort does not last long. If returning to a place few people with whom you feel safe, the discomfort lasts for minutes, sometimes seconds, in other cases, when it lasts longer usually signal that something is wrong, or not as it should be.

Well, more or less how I feel when returning to visit my blog. There are so many things to say at this time of disagreement that may not know where to start. Like when you're with that friend that you have not see and you want to tell so many disparate things and the conversation becomes a hopping sequence here and there trying to tell so many things that ultimately do nothing but list a number of things or accomplishments in your life that can not shoot even a fraction of what has happened in this time when you have not seen.

Normally when this happens, the conversation often reach a point where he mumbles a sincere "good, and you how are you?", Together with a big smile.

All this to reach out to my blog.

Incidentally, today is November 5! Remember, remember November 5, say V. 31 years ago but unfortunately he left us a genius like René Goscinny, author, among others the great Asterix.

Evolution Reunion

During this time I have been without updating this blog have been different things that, frankly, would have been to create a post if not interesting, but at least original. A lot has happened in the world, including the Olympics. This event gave me many ideas, but recognize that in the end nothing came. Nor am I motivated the particle accelerator went into operation yesterday. Imagine that you load the world and have not updated my blog, cagondena!

You will ask, or not, that has motivated my return to the blogosphere. It has been a study published by a professor at the University of Munich. The biologist and natural historian says the man turned farmer to drink beer and get drunk. That is, what little I remember about the Neolithic is false. The evolution of agriculture to provide food due to the decrease in hunting because of the migration of animals after the ice age, I was taught that is not entirely accurate.

According to him, is absurd theory that a region will be fruitful in vegetation and poor game. Accordingly, there was no need to leave the area. So in a situation of abundant cultivated cereals, but not for bread but for making beer. Beer, and other drugs, foster a sense of unity of a tribe (there are things unchanging), but do not guarantee their survival (if not drink and drive) and does not take much cereal to "feed" to a tribe, while making bread to feed the entire population need a much larger output, something posed happened next. It happened something like that;
- We have a lot more grain and beer we can drink (which is a lot !!!).
- Okay, so let's do something with our surplus grain.
- And if we make bread?




- No wonder as developments have given us a sense of humor?
- When you think about it, it is rare that we have a psychological response to absurdity. We laugh at nonsense. We like. We think it's fun.
- Do not you think it is strange that we appreciate absurdity? Why we developed it? As we benefit?
- I guess if we can not laugh at things that make no sense, we could not react to many things in life.
- I can not say if that's funny or really scary.
