Time Travel: I received a good number of replies to my hypothetical question of which figure from the past you would be interested in meeting (in case you could travel back in time). Some of the answers were fairly interesting and it made me wish I had increased the hypothetical question to include more options… ;) Anyhow, here’s a short list of all the names:
- Franquin
- Kenji Miyazawa
- Siddartha
- Einstein
- Da Vinci
- Victor Hugo
- Asimov
- Alan Turing
- Daniel Balavoine
- Tolkien
- Gandhi
- Osamu Tezuka
- Plato
- Socrate
- Galileo
- Buddha
- Hitler
- the first man
- Bertrand Russel
- Pope John Paul II
Hey Matt, I liked your choices too! As a matter of fact, I did see the movie and was bombarded with DaVinci, Opus Dai, Holy Grail documentaries all weekend long, but I actually really like talking about the subject. If you’re ever in the New York City vincinity, I’d love to pick YOUR brain! :)
Dapper Party: Since most of the Ubuntu people I talk to on a daily basis are from Brasil (and I got the feeling I’m the only Brazilian contributor who doesn’t live in the country), I was thinking of throwing a virtual LAN PARTY this June 1! The plan would be to play Enemy Territory all night long. Bring your own beer! :p
Head Hunted: Been cooking up some new job interviews here and there. Am very much looking forward to working for some type of research oriented company (/me has a B.S. in Biochemistry, believe it or not)… Maybe I should post my resume one of these days…
Movie-less: Been trying to get a hold of the movie Munich for the last 2 weeks… Everything is RENTED OUT! And Syriana won’t be out ‘til late Summer!!!
Epiphany: The Epiphany experiment is still going… Been Firefox-free for the last 2 weeks and so far so good… Didn’t even need to get a Firefox-Patch… ;)
