Angry Video game Nerd
Hi,
Este cara é a mais nova febre de nostalgia gaming da internet. Além do mais ele tem uns vídeos legais sobre jogos antigos na temática Halloween. Pra quem jogou Atari, Nintendo 8bit, Mega, Master e Super.
Italki
Hi!
Este é um excelente site para aprender vários idiomas que é uma mistura de Orkut e MSN. Ainda não tive tempo de 'fuçar' apropriadamente, mas resolvi posta-lo aqui para que vocês mesmos se virem.
Bom proveito.
The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari
Hi,
O Halloween está chegando e pretendo postar algumas coisas sobre o tema.
Vamos começar por um clássico do gênero de terror. The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari, um filme alemão expressionista mudo da década de 20 do século passado, é considerado por muitos como o genuinamente primeiro filme de terror. Como é mudo, assim como os demais da época, os diálogos são escritos em tela e a interpretação dos atores conta muito.
Atenção especial aos cenários expressionistas do filme: arte pura! Vá para a wikipédia para obter mais informação sobre o que foi o expressionismo alemão.
No link abaixo você vê o filme todo:
Excelente pedida para o Halloween. Prepare a pipoca e o fundo das calças (a trilha sonora é de arrepiar).
Para todos os níveis.

Sincerity
Sincerity is the virtue of speaking truly and about one's feelings, thoughts and desires.
This goes hand in hand with the virtue of justice.
In Western Culture, sincerity has not always been regarded as a virtue. It became and artistic and social ideal in Europe and North America in the 17th century (sic)* during the Romantic Movement.
Some scholars view sincerity as a construct** rather than a moral virtue.
Sincerity became the central aspect of moral life. It has been part of social norms, ethical values, traditions and religious beliefs.
Sincerity means freedom from deceit, hypocrisy, or duplicity, honesty in intention or in communicating; seriousness. (sic)
In our daily lives, even though sincerity carries a risk of offending or not pleasing everyone, we expect our friends, family and leaders to be sincere.
Without sincerity, everything becomes artificial. Things fit the mold where there are no particular thoughts or feelings. People just play a role like in theaters. To form durable relationships, sincerity and justice must be part of it (sic).
* Romanticism is a complex artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in the second half of the 18th century in Western Europe, and gained strength during the Industrial Revolution. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanticism

Industrious
Industrious is the quality applied to people constantly, regularly, or habitually active or occupied. It's a virtue regarded to those who want to lose no time and be always committed to something useful.
Even though working or studying is not always pleasant, humans can't be happy and content doing nothing. Days become too long for those with nothing to do.
In a world of competition, being industrious helps one to stand out in business or studies. The most lasting benefits come from work that leads to a tangible outcome.
Mankind always pursues perfection and industrious people usually invest their time in improvement.
Being industrious also provides means to support one's self and family (sic), if applicable. It also provides a way to get out of and avoid debt. Industrious people also tend to accomplish more affluence and independence than those that are idle and lazy.
In an age of sophisticated machines and high technology, one's survival depends on competence which comes from being industrious and productive.

Frugality
Benjamin Franklin explained this virtue as “making no expense but to do (sic) good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing”.
Being frugal is often confused with being cheap, but this is not the case. Being frugal means spending money wisely, looking for bargains and not wasting on frivolous unnecessary things in order to achieve more lasting, meaningful goals. By not wasting, one will want little, hence the popular phrase “waste not, want not”.
Being frugal is a crucial financial skill to learn and implement in daily living. By leading a more frugal life, one is able to better stay out of debt and avoid financial burdens.
The virtue of frugality even found itself among the list of Roman values where it was defined as “economy and simplicity of style, without being miserly”. Combining generosity with frugality provides a way to not become miserly or stingy. The two balance each other in order to provide equilibrium.
