Image hosting

It’s so free and so easy to upload files to this site that I feel…suspiciou about it. But well, it’s working. So, I might as well. Try it. Image Shack.

Shark

A friend of mine launched her blog today. And published a very interesting comparison between blogs and sharks. Blogs, like sharks, will die if they stop moving aroung.

Brazil: YouTube hits the dance floor

In november 2005, a drunk motorcycle pilot was arrested in Caruaru, northern Brazil. His name, Jeremias José do Nascimento. The reporter Givanildo Silveira interviewed him at the police station. Completely out of his mind, Jeremias cursed, sang, laughed, made stupid threats. The crazy interview was uploaded to YouTube. The audio was then remixed, a beat [...]

Bad News

When I hosted a daily live morning news show in Brazil, I always wondered if all the international disasters really moved the audience in front of their tv sets.

Correction, please

Now that I’ve got material evidence proving that I’m not the only one who reads this blog, I feel comfortable to ask a question: is there an easy way to have my posts corrected before publishing them? I could write them in a word doc, but I wouldn’t like to. I had a stupid idea [...]

Up, up and away

The good thing about starting a brand new blog from the very beginning is the fact that it can only grow up. This blog, for instance, has very few posts, almost no visitors, just a couple of comments, three results in google, two links in Technorati. It’s almos nothing. But considering it started from zero, [...]
