I think we were/are.
Remember those labs?

This is what I've been up to:

This I believe, is Chlorophyta, Caulerpa sp.
I like to call it 'the dragon' but it is a Phaeophyta, Sargassum sp.
This my friends, is an organism with a helicoidal-like chloroplast :O oh my oh my

For those of you out there, some sciencey valentine,

I don't care what you say, I want to marry a kangooro-hero.

It's not that I don't have any great ideas to make magnificent posts, it's just that I'd rather share this with you.Actually, this one's so great I did want to share. Source, but I found it thanks to addictive StumbleUpon. See it full size please.





There's also these, which for some reason I thought you'd love, dearest K., that is of course if you ever read this post.









Anyway, these are from a collection found here, there's more, I do recommend it. It's quite an interesting concept. Artistically, I think there's a big challenge in inserting fiction of two well known real things, which is well made. But also the idea seems quite an statement doesn't it? How we interact so much with gadgets, we sometimes couldn't live without them, almost as if they were alive, and most of us have no idea how they actually work.

Just an idea...

And well, dessert. I found this piece just hilarious.

De paseo encontré...

I'm not entirely sure of what's this.
A web of thoughts, I'd guess.

But I'd be wrong.

My Canon just died.

This is, just too awesome to be true.

Generally I love light. As in, it is very peculiar and interesting. But... BUT, sometimes our use of light makes me a giant squid of anger.

This is somehow as we imagine it... but how?

Evolution through natural selection seemed so obvious, so understandable, clear and awesome. I even made (make) a strong judgment and criticism towards those who don't believe in evolution (don't ever let my philosophy prof. ever see I used the word believe, but you get my drill). I was told in class that evolution is a fact, as clear as that the earth spins around the sun, and I don’t argue that. I do believe in Dobzhansky’s statement “Nothing in Biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.” But the ‘How?’ is the one currently intriguing me deeply.

I find it both uncomfortable and beautiful that I’m having these types of questions whose answers are not to be found in textbooks, and that when I google them, I find parts of the answer in the latest issue of Science or Nature. I like talking to my friends about the confusion, the new ideas, the classes, etc. and doing our political speeches defending the existence of a class that we want to take (and are supposed to take) in 7th semester.

And I think about Darwin, Lamarck, Molecular Biology research, Epigenetics, Science and Nature, and science and nature. And I smile. :)

Does taking bad [i know 'bad' makes no difference, but i'm appealing to pity] pictures from videos count as photograph?

this is just genius

Beacuse tomorrow is my birthday, because i'm doing a homework about this, and because I like to say random things... here are some beautiful pictures of a lifetime.
Mr. Linus Pauling ladies and gentlemen:

Inception is one of the best movies I have ever watched, and The National is one of the best bands I have ever heard. Isn't the coincidence nice?
