Radio Garden

Hello everyone! I hope you stay OK.

Today, I will write about Radio Garden, a web app. In that side, you can listening a lot of radio stations of different parts of the world. For example, If you want to listen a radio of New Zealand, you must search the country on a map and select one green point that represent a radio station of the place. When I found it, I listened a lot of music!

Is very exciting for me listen music that people are listening in other place at the same time in others sides of the world. However, I think Radio Garden is more attractive for its interface. The map is similar to Google-Earth design, you can approach the satellite image and you can see a view with very beautiful colours of the place. But is not the same of Google Maps. The design was a collaboration by Studio Puckey and Studio Moniker.

 If you want add a radio of your location on the web side, you can send a email to admins and they would add it!

Hello everyone!

Today I want to talk about L'intrus ("The intruder"), a text of Jean Luc-Nancy.

Well, he is a French philosopher and the text to I will refer isn't a book. This text is a response that he published in 2000 about a personal experience: In the past, Nancy suffered serious medical problems and he needed a heart transplant. After this periord, he continued to write and publish a lot of texts, and L'instrus is a very short, but beautiful text about the experience of live through a trasplant and subsequently a cancer.

I've choose this text because I'm not a good reader of literature. When I was a child, I read a lot of books but I've forgot about the titles or story lines. I've recollected L'instrus because I read it in the week prior last. I found out about it by means of a university teacher of the Literature career.

On L'instrus, Nancy think about his body like a combination of fragments that don't belong to him. I   hope you will check it! It is very interesting his philosophical reflection.
