Good news broght to you by Kirsten Dunst

Que mejor manera de comenzar el dia que leyendo las "arrebatadas" declaraciones de Kirsten Dunst. Puedes leerlo en El Pais o The Sun.

"El mundo sería un lugar mejor si todo el mundo fumara hierba".

"Bebo moderadamente, he probado varias drogas y me gusta la marihuana. Tengo una percepción diferente de la hierba que los americanos".

"El padre de mi mejor amiga Sasha, Carl Sagan, era un astrónomo. Fumaba muchísimo y era un genio".

"Nunca he sido una gran fumadora pero la visión de Estados Unidos sobre el tema es ridícula. Quiero decir: ¿Estás bromeando? Si todo el mundo fumara, el mundo sería un lugar mejor".

"Y no estoy diciendo que haya que estar fumado todo el día, pero si se usa con prudencia, puede estimular la creatividad y mejorar la timidez".

Paper Alarm Clock

FLAT FUTURES Through organic electronics it will be possible to print electronics into flat and flexible surfaces like paper and plastic. Because plastic transistors use solvent-processable organic or polymer materials, they can be fabricated using an inkjet-type printer in ambient environments. A key to low-cost production. Consequently objects will wear technology instead of carry it inside. It will become their skin. We are a 'paper' culture.

Billboards That Know You by Name

Each day, it seems, marketers go further in their quest to deliver messages so engaging and personalized that one cannot help feeling special. The latest step will be seen today in four cities when Mini USA begins delivering custom messages to Mini Cooper owners on digital signs the company calls “talking” billboards.

A sign in San Francisco, starting Monday, identifies approaching Mini Cooper drivers by using a signal from a radio chip embedded in their key fobs

La Plaza del Angel

Desde hace unos días que no se sabia nada de German Dehesa, salvo por su columna en Reforma. Ahora ah regresado a La Plaza del Ángel, les recomiendo darle una leída.

Durante estos días ah estado escribiendo diario, definitivamente es algo que tienes que aprovechar.

No sean méndigos. Primero estuvieron friegue y friegue: ¡ñá que ya nunca publica aquí!, ¡asch, sigue con la misma columna de hace meses!, ¡méndigo orejón, nos está tomando el pelo!. Ahora ya regresé y escribo diario y ustedes andan por allá perdidos en los sórdidos andurriales de la pornografía cibernética. Insisto: ya ni la friegan. Es hora de regresar y de que reanudemos la plática.

-German Dehesa @ ¡Ya Regresen!

SKIN + BONES [MOCA]

This exhibition explores the common visual and intellectual principles that underlie both fashion and architecture. Both disciplines start with the human body and expand on ideas of space and movement, serving as outward expressions of personal, political, and cultural identity. Architects and fashion designers produce environments defined through spatial awareness—the structures they create are based on volume, function, proportion, and material. Presenting the work of international fashion designers and architects, the exhibition examines themes such as shelter, identity, tectonic strategies, creative process, and parallel stylistic tendencies including deconstruction and minimalism. The exhibition is curated by MOCA Curator of Architecture & Design Brooke Hodge and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.

Who I am And What I Want

Now, this happen a long time before, in December 2006 around Christmas I gave myself this gift; the “Who I am and what I want” DVD. I bought it at the MOCA.

I could be watching it over and over, always hilarity, always painful, I just love it!

Now, you shouldn’t be reading this crap, you should be buying now.

THE REAL STORY OF THE SUPERHEROES

The Mexican immigrant worker in New York is a perfect example of the hero who has gone unnoticed. It is common for a Mexican worker in New York to work extraordinary hours in extreme conditions for very low wages which are saved at great cost and sacrifice and sent to families and communities in Mexico who rely on them to survive.

PAULINO CARDOZO [Hulk] from the State of Guerrero works in a greengrocer loading trucks. He Sends 300 dollars a week.

NOE REYES [Superman] from the State of Puebla works as a delivery boy in Brooklyn New York. He Sends 500 dollars a week.
