Christmas Tag.

Greetings!

One week until Christmas and I still have to buy all the presents. I'm just imagining the crowd in the shopping centers and commercial streets of São Paulo, the most crowded city in Brazil. I must find some time and patience to accomplish this mission. I'm sure I'll have lots of fun.

So, let's start the Christmas celebrations at this blog! Last week I found a fine Christmas's tag at DJ Kirby's blog. Check it out!

From Linux to Vista

Greetings!

I was a little pissed off with Linux and it's problems of compatibility so, in April I changed my laptop OS to Windows Vista, the most modern Microsoft OS. I was expecting to have more compatibility and have all my hardware can give. Eight months has passed and now I remembered why I changed my OS to Linux. I still using some opens source programs like Open Office and The GIMP but I'm not feeling like the revolutionary I used to be when I was a Linux user. You know, Linux has lots of problems but it's free and there lots of politics and philosophy in the Linux world. The Windows' world is different, it makes me feel like a guy who buys some frozen food in the supermarket - because the package has a photo of a wonderful dish - and, at home, he puts that food in the microwave for some minutes and... Hey it doesn't look like the package's pic!!

MS Sux!

What inspired me when i was 8, 9... 13...

Greetings

Today is the Deads' Day in Brazil. I woke up in the morning and I saw a priest on tv saying today is a day to remember and not a day to be sad... I remembered this guy...

The F1 world champion of 1988 at Suzuka.


But in 1989 he lost the championship for Alain Prost at Suzuka... I also remembered the GP after in Australia.





He defeated Prost again in 1990 and Nigel Mansel in 1991. But this guy wasn't a genius because of that 3 world championship. He was a genius because of these laps...


And this race!

Life is too short...

P.S: If you agree with me that life is too short and don't have time to waste with Internet stuff, you may watch the last video.

P.S 2: Thank you, Ayrton!
