Prof. B. fractured both wrists

I got here yesterday just to find out that Prof. B has a bike accident and fractured both wrists! This is the 3rd bike accident in the lab since I got here. It seems that riding the bike and working in this lab is not a good combination. Maybe people work so much that they cannot concentrate on the road. I'm glad I use the T. lol

Twitter

I just signed up to twitter! Let's see if this works well. My user there is SuperTricolor

Home: Watch it. You will be convinced.

I have just finished watching the movie Home, a documentary produced by Yann Arthus Bertrand about the human effect in our planet and the global warming. I'm speechless. I have never seen a movie so beautiful and at the same time so sad. It shows in clear high definition images what we are all doing to our planet. We must change. I must change. Maybe if we spend a few extra pennies in our shopping we could watch what we buy, from where we buy. Where the things are produced. It is a small step, but if we all do it it will be a big change. Recycling also. I'm probably the biggest no-recycler that exists because I never saw the point. The movie makes it crystal clear. We must do it. The movie can be found in many places, including torrent sites. It is distributed copyright free so you can all download and watch it. You can download the HD version directly from the this torrent link http://www.mininova.org/tor/2657160 (you should know how to use torrent by now). Or watch it on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/homeproject

Fortaleza. The team is terrible

Most of you know how much I love my soccer team: Fortaleza. But it's being awful to watch the last 5 games. No wins. One tie. Man. The team is bad. Really bad. I hope something is changing because this way we'll be relegated to the 3rd division next year. :(

Cheers for Lucas

I'm done working today. I just arrived at a bar near my house to drink one beer for Lucas. I'm very happy for Eraldo and Aurelia. It's going to be a wonderful experience. Cheers!!!!

Lucas is here

My friends Eraldo and Aurélia just had their first baby!!!!! Hurray!!!! Lucas is here. I'm very happy for them. I already got a picture and everything :) I was on the phone with my wife when he was born just a few minutes ago!!! It's great!

Missed station

I was so entertained by the news on the morning paper that I just missed my station. I hate this!! Now this adds 20 minutes to my commute. Just because of 1 station. Now I have to return to downtown crossing to get the orange line.

Waiting for Lucas

Even though I'm far I'm very excited with the prospect of Eraldo and Aurélia having their first baby SOON!!! They already created their blog which I'm following. It will be an interesting next few hours since they are already in the hospital.

Jet leg is good for you!!

Today I woke up at 6:20am without any alarm clock!! I guess this is due to some jet leg but if so this is good for me. I'm already on the T station and will be at work early! Wow! I'm surprised at myself. LOL.

Sicily is Beautiful

The island of Sicily is certainly beautiful. I been to the 3 corners of the island and I must say it is worth the trip. The only problem I have is that I'm getting tired of planes and airports and of course of spending 3 extra days in these places without my family. I know I have to stay because of the opportunity but it is not as fun. I wished I could have taken pictures of Kalil and Adele on the cold waters of the Mediterranean sea. It was cold but bareable. The water is the clearest I've seen, more so than Hawaii. The food is also very good and sicilians know how to enjoy life. Sometimes I felt I was in Brazil. Now I'm flying back to Boston and in a about a week i'll be home in Florida. :)
