Monday, October 21, 2019


Video info:

¿Cómo será el futuro? El físico estadounidense Michio Kaku asegura que el futuro se está inventando en los laboratorios científicos. En este vídeo analiza cómo los avances de la ciencia cambian continuamente nuestra vida y, consciente de que afectarán también la educación, reflexiona sobre la importancia de enseñar cosas útiles a los alumnos. "En el futuro la memorización quedará obsoleta, con un solo parpadeo podremos ver la información porque tendremos Internet en las lentillas", asegura. Además, Kaku alaba la labor de los profesores de los que cree "nunca podrán ser sustituidos por robots". 

Michio Kaku es cofundador de la teoría de cuerdas y uno científicos más reconocidos del mundo. Profesor y autor de libros superventas como ‘Física de lo imposible’ o ‘El futuro de nuestra mente’, Kaku investiga hacia dónde irá la ciencia y la tecnología del mañana. Actualmente ocupa la cátedra Henry Semat de Física Teórica en la Universidad de Nueva York.

HIROMI Spectrum

Saturday, October 12, 2019



Video info:
Hiromi - Spectrum (Live) Hiromi's new solo piano album ,“Spectrum”, will be released worldwide on October 4th, 2019 (Japan on September 18th).

Pre-order "Spectrum": https://found.ee/HiromiSpectrum

Spectrum celebrates the maturity and depth that have enriched Hiromi’s composing and playing over the course of her 30s, years in which she’s crisscrossed the globe thrilling audiences and embarked on collaborations with some of jazz’s most inventive artists, including Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Michel Camilo, Anthony Jackson, Simon Phillips, Steve Smith, Akiko Yano and Edmar Castañeda.

"My first piano teacher always taught me to see colors through music. When she wanted me to play something expressive or fiery, she colored the score paper with red pencil; when she wanted me to play something melancholic or sad, she would color my score with blue pencil. I thought it was fascinating because the piano itself is mostly black and white – the keys, the finish – but it can create so many colors." - Hiromi

Satoshi Kon's bibliography

Saturday, August 24, 2019

Satoshi Kon (今 敏) passed away nine years ago today at the age of just 46. It's amazing how much a human being can accomplish in such a short period of time with enough focus and determination. Kon started his career as an assistant to manga masters such as Katsuhiro Otomo and he rapidly became a master manga-ka himself, from there he jumped to animation, where he spent the last 15 years of his career, becoming one of the most  memorable Japanese film directors of all time.

I had the chance to met him in Animadrid back in year 2006 and I was lucky to get his signature on one of his many books I own, here a list of all the books I have found in their original Japanese editions, for international editions read the final note. 

MANGA WORKS
As it is common in Japan, Satoshi Kon's manga works were usually first published and serialized in  manga magazines before being collected in books, which are the ones that endure the passage of time and can be achieved more easily these days.


ワールドアパートメントホラー ( World Apartment Horror)
Illustrated by Satoshi Kon upon an original story by him, Keiko Nobumoto (小川 寿夫)  and Katsuhiro Otomo (大友 克洋). This book collects WORLD APARTMENT HORROR a story originally published in five parts in Kodansha's Young Magazine as well as other three short stories by Kon that were later collected in the book Yume no Kaseki.

PRODUCT DESIGN | Cheesy-Fishy

Monday, August 12, 2019


We've just discovered and became members of NextFab: A network of membership-based maker spaces that provide access to tools, technology, education, events, and services for makers of any skill level.

They are set in three locations: North Philly, South Philly and Wilmington and we are already overwhelmed by the tools and the environment they provide for makers of all kinds. The first day we took a wood shop safety class and end up making a cheese board, we named it Cheesy-Fishy.
