The plesure of Rising Awareness – Blog Action Day

Have you ever felt it?

I’m talking about that feeling… that feeling when you realize there’s something you can do that will change, if just a little, the way things are.

There’s people who may have never felt this, though… People hunted by the demon of poverty. That poverty that consumes the soul and body. That poverty that takes all hope and turns it into desperation.

People who have not to worry what they will eat tomorrow… but to have to worry if they will eat at all.

This people can not feel how it feels to know you can change the world… but rather would like the world to change.

What are we waiting for? The call is there and it is up to us to answer. It feels great to know you have done something of meaning. Something someone will be thankful for.

Today, Blog Action Day, is the day to allow yourself to feel that.

Today, you can make a difference by doing one really simple thing:

 

Rise Someones Awareness!

It is easy to forget there’s people who’s luck has not been as good as ours. But we can always do something.

Set the Example!

Make a donation, give away clothes you don’t wear anymore, go make some community work.

Make People Understand the Importance of Giving!

And the easiest way to do so is by giving something yourself.

 

Find the plesure of rising someone’s awareness about poverty. Do brag about it, you should feel proud of yourself for:

There is nothing more plesureable… more enjoyable… than to give, and give hard.

And that, my dear readers, is a plesure a real hedonist would crave.

How will you rise someone’s awareness today?

The magic of Real World Animation

This is a video of a beautifully made zeotrope animation.

In this particular animation, the rotoscope principle in which the original zeotrope animation relied in order to fool the eye is substituted by the frame rate of the camera being synchronized with the speed of the machine.

I could spend hours talking about the technicalities of this and not get tired, but I’m sure you have better things to do.

Just enjoy this incredible animation and relax.

Chromatic Delight

For a web designer, like myself, or anybudy who just loves colour.

There’s this great web-aplication/social network that revolves arround colour.

 

colourlovers.com

colourlovers.com

 COLOURlovers allows you to search and name colours, creat palletes and make patterns with them.

More than that, every colour, pallete and pattern becomes part of a massive library on wich other colour users can leave comments, subscribe and show some “colour love”.

Highly recomendable for design professionals.

Here’s a link to my Colour lover profile, leave a comment!

Walking for Health and Family

Photobucket

I’m not big on family values… nor am I big (as a said in another post) on health, Although I intend to be.

Nontheless, I attended the “Caminatlon” (Walk-a-thlon) last sunday.

The event was organized by Mexico’s IBM and FoxCon.

It consisted of walking a mile from a meeting point into the “Via Recreativa” (Recreational Road) and finifhing the walking in the midle of “El Parque Metropolitano” (Metropolitan Park).

The event was not of competitive spirit, but for the sake of health and family activity.

My experience there was pretty good, nothing that impresivem though. But it is good to have an excuse to make some exercise on sundays.

There wes free stuff, of course:
