O Cracatoa Simplesmente Sumiu é um ótimo site. Como ele mesmo diz, cobre: Literatura. Fotografia. Arte. Cinema. Música. Gastronomia..

A Alicia e o Alessandro foram meus colegas quando estava fazendo Yoga e o Daniel Trezub trabalhou com a gente na finada Revista do Linux.

Recomendo!!

I have just discovered a new toy, the Trikke.

According to the Trike Tech web site:

A Trikke 3-wheeled cambering vehicle is a human powered 3-wheeled device that has no mechanical drive train. It’s articulated frame can lean into turns while keeping all three wheels in contact with the ground. The 3-wheeled stance provides riders with excellent stability at all speeds including a dead stop and is a marked improvement in balance, control and stability over traditional machines like scooters, skateboards, inline skates and even bikes. What really sets this new machine apart is its novel method of propulsion. With the exception of inline skates, traditional machines have a mechanical drive-train (chain or belt drive) or require that you kick off of the pavement like scooters and skateboards to propel them. Despite the fact that a cambering vehicle has no drive train, a rider can propel it indefinitely with an extraordinary level of efficiency without touching the ground. Though designs for three wheeled cambering vehicles of all kinds date back nearly 100 years, patented Trikke cambering products are the first ever cambering vehicle to be produced and distributed world wide.

It’s nice to try a life that is not that same old “home-work-home” way that almost everyone live in this fast paced life that the common human being live these days.

I was at the Bloomsday celebration last thursday, here in Curitiba, at Fnac. It was nice and I could learn a few more things about James Joyce and Ulysses. In the last couple of weeks I’m doing a literature deep dive, reading a lot and writing 2,000 words every day, come hell or high water. This remembers me about an interview where Dave Sim was asked what he did to accomplish a big job that was Cerebus, a 300 issue comic book that took 25 years to complete. The answers? a page a day.

That’s the same answer that I’ve heard from prolific writers like Stephen King (One word at a time), and many others. Every work that you commit yourself to do can be finished if you deserve a time to do a piece of it, every day, day after day.

Well, let’s start page 140 of my work. Just 160 to go… 🙂
