Handy Haiku

The latest proposal about Haiku
 on Vimeo Weekend Challenge
 has interesting results.

The Haiku is a Japanese lyric verse form
 having three unrhymed lines 
of five, seven, and five syllables, 
traditionally invoking
 an aspect of nature or the seasons.

You can practice reading with fun 
while counting syllables
and receive nice messages.


We hope enjoy you these nice and handy haiku :

Wonderland of islands

You can practice reading,
 when you watch documentaries subtitled.
It will be like a travel throgh the world
if you choose geographic reports.

There's a interesting video about Tetepare, the last wild island.

Every island is unique because
is a tract of land surrounded by water,
 and smaller than a continent,
and so evolves different.

Sometimes

Sometimes silence says more than words
Just observe and feel it.


Some great pictures are like a trip.


Wolfs Law - The Joy Formidable from pd3 on Vimeo.

Sometimes, you have to let it sit cloudy water
while the sludge can lower at the depths.



The silence between notes
 gives life to every melody.

A secret box to practice the adjectives

Let's play with the secret box 
to practice a new kind of words. 
A team must conceal a secret object in the box.
The other team can guess the object
 by asking about some clues.
The clues just could be adjectives.
The team change is when you guess the secret object.


Adjectives are words that give us
 information about nouns:
size, color, shape, texture, temperature, ...
We can also explain their personality
 if the nouns described are people or animals.



You can learn more about adjectives with this fun song.

A new stage, era or eon within your vision

A stage can be a period of time,
an era can be a group of stages,
and an eon is a set of eras.

It may seem exaggerated to say eon
but it rhymes with vision
and we like practice new words.

In addition, in recent centuries spend more stuff in a decade
than in prehistoric times in one eon,
and now we have the emergence of a whole new vision.

We talk about the new Google Glass,
their goggle are now a reality
that can change our mentality.

We had the world within reach of our fingers,
now we have it available to our eyes,
under the instructions of our voice.

In fact it is a remarkable success of the technology
that it will invade our professional  life or family.

More about technical in
 post of last year but it's real now.

            Finally, you can watch these filmations
if you want to imagine how is the world through his vision.

In this latest video tells us that, despite being truly amazing,
we must have a lot of respect when filming other people.

Any new tool that have plenty of options
also have some drawback.
 We must get used because
they will be with us from now on.

Some unanswered questions

Some qüestions unresolved 
are what make you think
 and allow you to move forward.


Whatever the situation,
 it is good to have a clear goal, 
keeping one direction.


As this mouse does not lose sight of his hat
 amid inclement weather, made ​​by Daniel Paul.
Do not miss the    animation  
that  gives strength and inspiration.







Questions without solution
you can find a million.




Why in schools increasingly have more computers and fewer teachers?
How is that can spend money for weapons and don't have money for medicines?
Why politicians have official cars and don't see people that they represent ?
How do politicians need protection, is that they have done something wrong?
Why are there so many people without homes and homes without people?
How can we help the places where happen  disasters  without the aid deviate?
Why continue still researching technology that it removes the work to the parents?
What will I be when I grow if everyone says that the world go wrong ?
How come there is no money to help disabled and yes for conferences and meetings such as luxurious in which agreements are reached then not met?
Why people are jailed fighting for injustice and  is not done justice  with which they could avoid catastrophes?

Making of a Spider web

How? and, Why? 
are the favorite questions 
when we are children.

However, if we do not get answers, 
sometimes we stop asking and we stagnate.

  So if you ever wondered how spiders make their webs here are some clues.

If you want to know more about
 these geometric constructions
and other possible shapes,
 you can take a look at this interesting site.

science. How Stuff Works


Finally you can make your own spider web
 with a support geometric,
just across many diagonals made ​​with strands of wool, 
and then from the center outward 
turning the spiral knotted at each diagonal.
 You can hang your own spider
 made of wool tassel,
with its eight legs and a pair of big eyes.

Privacy or publicity

Except for some parts of the world
where Internet can't reach,
everybody lives exposed to its dual power.

On the one hand provides us access to almost all information
but the other hand is left with all our thought,
affinities, preferences and motivation,
And it's easy figure it out by deduction
everything that you don't  say directly .

Today the kids can access earlier to social networks,
when naivete and innocence still have a total transparency.

Everyone falls on the ambivalence to ask for privacy,
however everyone gives data that facilitate publicity.


Maybe this video entitled "Machines transparent"
can make you think about ourselves, 
that  we are who give data easily
for the losing our privacy.


Transparent Machines™ from beeple on Vimeo.


It's important don't obsessed with this subject.
A person who retains the innocence of a child
and has the wisdom of a grandfather
taught us this slogan:

"If you don't have to be ashamed
you don't have to worry about "



However, our DNA or genetic code soon will  all about us.

Or maybe in the not so distant
 a microcircuit will incorporate us at birth,
that allows us to access 
all the ambivalence of this process.

Yesterday there was a solar eclipse that was very special.
Started as an annular eclipse and ended as one total.
Is called hybrid. It's so original and unusual.

Nature gives us great shows like this

The vision of this phenomenon 
varies with the location of the observation.
