Chill Out House

This is what I’m talking about, pure chill out!
Maison NW is a home and work studio created by the architect Nathalie Wolberg.
This fabulous house is located near Paris, and it was a former printing house (from the 50s) and now includes 9 artists’ workshops. 

How cool is this?!!

To think...

Nowadays everyone have or had a social network account like facebook, so when i've found this article I thought i should share it. 

Austrian student sues Facebook for keeping 'deleted' data. (complete article)

Here is a summary:

"Austrian law student Max Schrems may be just one of about 800 million Facebook users, but that hasn't stopped him tackling the US giant behind the social networking website over its privacy policy.

The 24-year-old wasn't sure what to expect when he requested Facebook provide him with a record of the personal data it holds on him, but he certainly wasn't ready for the 1,222 pages of information he received.

This included photos, messages and postings on his Facebook page dating back years, some of which he thought he had deleted, the times he had clicked "like" on an item, "pokes" of fellow users, and reams of other information.

"When you delete something from Facebook, all you are doing is hiding it from yourself," Schrems told AFP in his home city of Vienna."

We should think better of what we share.

Definitely to watch!


 This week is the premier of the movie New Years Eve, from the same director of Valentine’s Day, Garry Marshall. From what I read on the reviews this is not a sequel of the other movie although some of the characters show up in this movie. It’s a romantic comedy that takes place in New York City during the New Years Eve and the plot revolves around the lives of some couples and singles in NY that get their paths crossed on that night.
 The cast includes names as Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Robert De Niro, Sara Jessica Parker, Michelle Pfeiffer, Hillary Swank among other great reference names.

The intelligent ones go to bed later

I knew it!!

I’ve found this article on Público and I thing this theory explain a lot.
      The translation

The “owls” are more creative and “larks” are more organized. Between “artistic” and “pragmatics” brains that was the difference imposed by the rhythms of activity. But now a study broke this balance with a conclusion, at least, controversial: people who go to bed late have a tendency to be more intelligent than the others. By: Luís Francisco
