Yesterday, while rumaging through 9gag, my computer crashed... So basically I'll be a little bit disconected fom the web until I get it fixed...

Sorry in advance for the lack of new content with pictures and stuff. I'll be posting from my phone, so it's normal that a typo appears in the post...

NEW LOOK!!!

How do you like the new look of this blog?

Leave your opinion in the comment section below!

Soooo True!

I need you honest opinion!

This blog was first created in March 2010. Since then I moved to Wordpress so that I could have a "more professional experience"...
But it didn't work out, as I posted a caption from Fergie's video clip featuring Slash... (I had no absolute idea that people still used Google to search for Celebrity asses, but as it seems...) all my visits were about her ass...

So, I moved back here and I'm liking the new Blogger interface! It reveals innovation and cleanliness (I have no idea how to spell that)!

Since I moved here, I haven't posted very often and I think that it made lose regular visits... But I want that to change and I need your help!

I need you to leave your opinion in the comments about the layout of the main page, if you like the aspect of the blog, what posts do you want me to write, if you would be a regular visit around here, etc.. I really need your help to change, and possibly improve this blog!

Sulfur Hexaflouride - the voice changer

Have you noticed how your voice changes when you inhale Helium? As Helium is lighter than air, your voice sounds higher pitched... Now when you inhale Sulfur Hexaflouride, as it is heavier than air, your voice becomes deeper:

But you may think 'Yes, that's cool, but what else can it do?'... Well, check out this video:

120%

I know I might seem kind of obssessed by my visitors, but believe me, I'd like to have less and better visitors than more and less caring ones. I just want my work to be apreciated...

After saying this, my experiment came an end, and it went pretty well. Yesterday (3rd Jannuary), I got 29 visitors, meaning 120% the number of visitors from the day before...

Social networking might pay-off!

P.S. - Just under 20 visits to hit the 1000th one!!!

Social networking, the first step for success

Today I made a very interesting experiement. I wanted to test how social networking would affect the number of visits to my blog, and I must say I´m very surprised with the outcome.

First, I checked my blog stats and saw that yesterday I had a total of 24 visits, and average of one visit per hour...
Then I tweeted all my (most) important posts.
The final step was to check the results. And I am completely amazed by how it worked!
Basically, in less than 30 minutes I got 20 visitors, 75% of the number of visitors from yesterday... Now if I manage to build a bog that could tweet my posts every x minutes, I could get more than 800 visits per day...
Not that quantity means quality, but it`s nice to see my work spread around the globe! But that`s another topic for a future post...

Americans and SOPA

America...
I am currently waching a movie called Deep Impact. For those who don´t know, this movie is about a comet whose trajectory passes through Earth. Basically is just like Armageddon (and both of them were released on the same year).
During the movie I couldn´t stop thinking about the power that the president of the United States has. It´s just like: if the future of the planet depends on the push of a button, he pushes it; if a decision has to be made, his opinion is the most important...
And all that made me think about S.O.P.A. - the Stop Online Piracy Act. The U.S. right know holds the power to change the only thing that is supposed to be uncensored: the Internet.
Once again, every american has the power to make a change. But is that change positive? Let´s think about it...
I love this T.V. show called How I Met Your Mother. In my country sometimes it´s broadcasted over a year late. One of my options is to wait more than a year for the episode to air. As I´m one of luckiest people ever, my life makes me miss the show. Then, I have to wait more than a week for it to be re-broadcasted.
By then, I am obliged to watch at that moment, or I may never watch it again.
Now, with torrents and p2p sharing, I have the chance to watch the episodes I never had the chance to. It´s not wrong... It`s just an amazing human capacity to provide every single internet user with an equal opportunity, in this case, to watch my favorite show. Without illegal sharing, this show (and the rest of the shows worldwide) would lose millions of viewers...

Quit Smoking

As we entered 2012, I feel obliged to scratch something of my list.

Perhaps the fastest thing to do on my list is to quit smoking...

But how can I really tell if I stopped? Does it take a day without a cigarette, a week, a month?
