Fortunately the heat began, the days are longer and longer feel like being on the street.

At the moment I lack the time to keep all sites and blogs that I have (about 10 active), so I prioritize bring some financial return.

The personal blog is not tops this list, so will be less active at least until the heat is over.

There and I'll be back after the summer.

Without a doubt the Internet has changed many things, among them the power of communication between people of different cultures, different countries and different opinions. To some extent able to add people. The power of information that allows comparisons to be made and create questions about how and why we live and accept certain things.

The Internet has allowed business pressures, some multinationals have changed advertising ( Microsoft is one example ), even political opinions and price, also we have seen calls for strikes, demonstrations and even pressure to government decisions.

As expected, the "traditional power / archaic / hand rail ..." is not at all satisfied with this freedom, many companies have blocked blogs for content would "hurt" the company's guidelines, we now see that this blockade reaches new countries. Recently, the Reporters Without Borders published a report showing the ranking of freedom of expression in the country.

In the list can see clearly there is a country where freedom of expression (Denmark, Finland ...) and others where the control is tight (China, North Korea, Syria ...). Most worrisome is that some countries said to be "democratic" start to have some control of liberated expression. Portugal occupies the position 32 (8 points) for a list of 175 (115.50 points)

Some countries like Spain, France and Portugal to censor content on the pretext of the fight against pedophilia (it seems perfect that control this issue) and protection of copyright (usually at the request of the major record industry).

Recently, March 13, 2010 Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said: "Internet can not be a free thing, where you say and do whatever. No, every country must by its rules and regulations "

It is a sensitive issue that should be followed carefully, it is not alarmist, but we do not allow restrictions on the freedom that was granted.

Around 13/14 years I learned to like the avant-garde psychedelic style of Pink Floyd (1966).

I started to hear (scratch) some vinyl records from my brother, The Final Cut, was certainly the most listened to disc.

Over the years, I bought the record and I got to have all of Pink Floyd albums on vinyl, unfortunately with some changes of countries, lost a lot! Today I have all CDs and recently started to recover the collection on vinyl.

About a month, Radar Radio on "Family Album" paid tribute to the hard Wish You Were Here (1975), I sent an email and asked permission to publish the audio program on the blog, fortunately James Castro it is also a fan of Pink Floyd, very carefully cleared.
