About civilizations

The history of every major galactic civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Enquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases.

For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question How can we eat?, the second by the question Why do we eat?, and the third by the question Where shall we have lunch?

Oropesa & Plasencia

I’m back from Holidays… This time I’ve spent a couple of days at the paradores in Oropesa and Plasencia. Contrary to my usual trend, this time I dind’t take a hell of a lot of photos. Just wanted to relax and disconnect from everyday life.

Looking for ideas

Once again, I reached the limit of disk space in my web server. I don’t really want to spend more money on web hosting so I will have to look for cheaper (=free) long-term alternatives. Any ideas? On another hand, I will send the final design of the kotbullar t-shirt for production next week. For more info drop me an em@il!

Parador de León

The Parador de León is a sixteen-century monastery which has been converted to a supremely elegant hotel. Living in such a place for a weekend is something inspiring. A 100m long facade encloses a cloister with ancient tombstones, a splendid church and a chapterhouse. I can’t wait for my next trip to some other paradores next week

more photos!

100% green energy

Last week I saw an add on TV offering domestic customers the possibility to get green energy on their houses’ electric plugs. This is with no doubt a very respectable initiative from one of the dominant power suppliers in Spain. To me, having a clear conscience is worth the small fee you have to pay in order to fully support renewable energy.
