Viva la Vida

Coldplay - Viva la Vida
I love this song.
It’s just amazing: I loved it even before I read the Lyrics. And, actually, that’s the incredible things: no one seems to be “sure” about what exactly is the mean. Someone says it’s about Jesus (quite unlikly from my point of view: to see Jesus in there you need to “stretch” the meaning). The other, more accredited belief, is that it’s about Napoleon (the cover of the CD and a lot of what is said in the lyrics is adherent and coherent with this option).

But, as I said, I loved eat even before I read the full lyrics. It made me feel inspired. And made me think about love, life, my past, my present and my next leap. Probably more because of the great music and instruments than by the lyrics itself.
Well done Coldplay ;)

… but, wait a minute! On Wikipedia, in the page about this album, there is this section about Chris Martin:

[…]
Q magazine asked Chris Martin about the line “I know Saint Peter won’t call my name” sung in “Viva la Vida”. Martin replied: “It’s about… You’re not on the list. I was a naughty boy. It’s always fascinated me that idea of finishing your life and then being analyzed on it. And it’s that runs through most religions. That’s why people blow up buildings. Because they think they’re going to get lots of virgins. I always feel like saying, Just join a band (laughs). That is the most frightening thing you could possibly say to somebody. Eternal damnation. I know about this stuff because I studied it. I was into it all. I know it. It’s still mildly terrifying to me. And this is serious.”
[…]

So, looks like they are really into some religious message (or sort of it). Probably, just fascinated by the “figure” of Jesus himself.

Anyway, Enjoy! ;-)

Cinguettio

Ma come si fa a mangiare un formaggio francese, che e’ la spudorata copia del Bel Paese (ma con in piu’ quel tocco di roba verde ammuffita sopra… -_- ), e Baguette alle 9 e 30 del mattino?
Io mi tengo il mio caffe’ ed i cockie che mi sono mangiato prima di scendere… ;)

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S

I met one of those superior piece of art/technology/sculpture/car around the Tate Modern (just outside of it): Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S. I couldn’t resist to take some pictures. ;)

Cooliris releases PicLens 1.7

PicLens
I have already highlighted in the past this project. Now I’m delighted to report that version 1.7 is out, and… it’s a great one!!!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of PicLens Version 1.7 with three exciting additions:

  • Shop Amazon– The 3D Wall transformed image search. Now PicLens launches online shopping into the 21st century. Browse and buy seamlessly just like window shopping!
  • Discover– MSNBC, ESPN, movie trailers…Get the latest news, photos, and video feeds.
  • Return to PicLens– An essential for playing with pictures: toggle in and out of your desktop, the browser, and PicLens!

Find out more at http://blog.cooliris.com and download your own free latest release at http://www.piclens.com.

My favourite feature? Discover!
As soon as I installed the addon in Firefox (very notable: it’s already compatible with the brand new version 3 of my favourite browser), I spent something like 40 minutes just browsing the “movies/tv” section, full of very updated and interesting content… and presented in the most “sexy” way I have ever seen.

Again, a great piece of Software. Strongly recommended to give it a go!

PS Just to avoid to forget, Piclens works practically ANY browser ;) .
