Post reaction:
An action movie based on the daily reality of policemen and drug dealers from Rio de Janeiro that seemed to be trapped in a hopeless world. Extreme violence is the words that remain in my mind after watching this movie. The illegal drug trade problem is seen from a violent angle and no attention is given to any possible solution or existing constructive initiatives.

In the age of knowledge, failure to recognize the other as an intelligent being is to deny him a true identity.

Lévy, Pierre. Collective Intelligence. pag. 15, Perseus Books, 1997

Life refused to remain life-sized.

As a young man he had shared a room with a painter whose paintings had grown larger and larger as he tried to get the whole of life into his art. 'Look at me,' he said before he killed himself, 'I wanted to be a miniaturist and I've got elephantiasis instead!' The swollen events of the night of the crescent knives reminded Nadir Khan of his room-mate, because life had once again, perversely, refused to remain life-sized. It had turned melodramatic: and that embarrassed him.


Rushdie, Salman. Midnight's Children. pag. 48, 49, Jonathan Cape Ltd, London, 1981

About

This website attempts to reunite the bits and pieces of my online fragmented identity.

The information found here is a real time cross-pollination of several public websites based on your words. The offspring of your search is an hybrid of pictures I have upload, texts I have written or taken from books and documents I have created. As more sources are added to the semantic web, the electronic self expands to what one day might be my encoded representation.

I wrote the code behind the machine that analyzes my online existence. The code is free, libre, open and accessible online.

Try out some words: Egypt, book, death or Curriculum Vitae.

Internet myths

In one of the DVD's extras, open source developer Paul Garrin describes how old media co-opts the Net into the centralized model of cable TV, the content from one edge not reaching the other edge. Garrin recounts the myths of the Internet, how it's really not public but now resting upon private infrastructure, how it does have borders (BGP firewalls serving as its customs police), how it's a loose confederation of private nation-states who agree——but are not required——to exchange info packets. Its center is the root domain, with a very hierarchical authority and corporate control. His Namespace mode is peer-to-peer situation for domains. This extra serves as a brief but interesting introduction to a topic too little discussed, the privatization of the Internet."
