Uncle Tony watched the stars

I’ve recently realised it’s been a long… heck no, it’s been a downright dirty and awfully enormous amount of time since I’ve written a poem. To tell the truth, I haven’t ever tried writing poetry in English before, but there was a phase during the elementary school during which I was doing this at an almost weekly basis (in Slovenian language of course). Now, I’m no poet, and I’m fully aware that most of the “rhymes” I scribble on paper are only good for providing a faster combustion of the cellulose when setting a fire, but I do get some sudden inspirational flashes that contain a hint of wit I feel it’s worth sharing.
As it happens, there was an occasion last week, when I suddenly felt (out of boredom) that I need to write a poem about a guy that likes to watch the stars. Since the title might imply that this song is boring, I must disappoint you, this is not the case (well, at least I laughed when writing it), and I feel obliged to warn you, that it’s not a song to be read to children as a lullaby.
A mirror, hammer and a string

These days I rarely take time to think, theorize, or simply reflect on current problems and my decisions… reflect… such a nice word that embraces both time and space. It actually means “to recreate” and review. Well, right now I happen to have time to do this. To review things and realign my ambitions and plans. Even the weather is appropriate, warm and sunny, a completely different situation compared to the past weekend, and the ambient, music and the tea I’m drinking, make all of this easier and pleasant.
Yesterday I was suddenly struck by an urge to grab my guitar and play some music. The thing is, my guitar’s at home, so I borrowed one from one of my friends for a short time. It’s funny though, I’ve never felt the need or such a strong desire to play this instrument before. It was always either because I had to practice, or because I didn’t have anything better to do. This time it was the other way around. And it still is, so I’m quite anxious to come home this Thursday and put my hands on my guitar. Might aswell take some time to learn to play some new songs.

Time, perception and fare

[SinglePic not found]I know, I know. I’m late. Again. Well, it seems like you’ll have to get used to it. However, the site itself gives me a pretty good excuse for this seemingly outrageous time gap in my writing. There is no time. So technically, everything is happening at exactly the same time, but since you don’t have the ability to foresee the future, my time bubble is impenetrable, and thus the news come with a delay.
Anyway, I’m at the University right now, just finished writing an exam, and am preparing for two more that are coming this Friday. (continue reading…)
A new Wave

[SinglePic not found]The time is ticking again, and surprisingly enough, the Internet has prepared a handful of new surprises in the meantime. Probably one of the most anticipated and revolutionary that is sure to reshape and realign the development on the Big web and might as well be called the innovation of the decade, is Wolfram’s WolframAlpha web search engine.
Some of you, mostly those that are in Computer Science, Mathematics or Physics related studies have already met Wolfram Mathematica, a great piece of software that’s become quite indispensable in my every day’s life. And now, we can finally enjoy all of the beauties, functionality and computational power of its algorithms on the Internet, for free. But the awesomeness doesn’t stop here, it continues with the search engine’s capability to serve you some cold facts about countries, finances, cities, important personalities and even more, all enriched with additional charts and data to help you get what you want. The usefulness of WolframAlpha is so enormous, that there’s been already released a Firefox plugin, that let’s you integrate Wolfram’s search in your Google home page. Now what do you want more for a perfect browsing experience?
Tick, tock, … duck?

[SinglePic not found]Time is definitely not a statically defined unit as many want to make us believe. If it would be, I wouldn’t be here writing this, wondering how could I have not updated my blog in such a long time, and at the same time thinking, but hey, didn’t I write that fat food article only yesterday? The same applies to much feared long minutes of waiting, before being coldly invited in the professor’s room for another, even longer dose of anguish, fear and torture, before being awarded a grade, usually not in the least resembling my expectations.
While the perception of my efforts towards the freshness of the contents of Time Recursion may seem to me quite frequent, the past week has been archived in my memory as one of the longest, and possibly the best I’ve had in the past years. (continue reading…)
