Pictures from Boston

I just uploaded some pictures from my trip to Boston. You can check them out here.

Most of them were taken from the Prudential Center observatory.Check out the picture of the floating dog house – you won’t see that anywhere else!!

Peabody, MA

This week I am in Massachusetts, in Peabody, north of Boston.

The town is quiet, and there’s not much nightlife around here. If you are ever in the area, though, check out Champion’s Pub – it has incredibly good Sirloin Tips. Also check out the Legal Sea Foods restaurants. They are all over MA, and have amazing food.

This is a sample post from Writely . Not too bad from where you’re away from your computer.:o)

The Importance of Being Earnest Audiobook

A group of people called LibriVox have release an audiobook of
The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde. This is one of my favortie books/plays ever, and they recorded the audiobook as if they were performing the play - which makes it much more easy to listen.

Until very recently I thought that audiobooks were just too boring to listen to. That changed when I listened to several audiobooks of HP Lovecraft’s stories, recorded in more entertaining ways - for example, in the At the Mountains of Madness audiobook, it was recorded as a radio interview with Professor Dyer, of the survivors of the expedition to Antartica. Recently I also listened to the Audiobook of Phillip K. Dick’s A Scanner Darkly, to refresh the story before watching the film.

You can expect to see ANYTHING in the streets of Costa Rica

I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I took those pictures some days ago, on different days, on my way to work. Yes, that means that they were taken between 8am and 10am, in the heavily transited roads of San Jose downtown, at rush hour. My commute sucks, and these people are not helping.

I used my cellphone to take the pictures, that’s why they look like cr*p.

Pictures from Manila

I finally uploaded the remaining pictures from the trip to Manila. You can find them here.

Enjoy!
