Astronomers at the Space Telescope Science Institute unveiled
the deepest portrait of the visible universe ever achieved by
humankind.

Called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), the
million-second-long exposure reveals the first galaxies to emerge
from the so-called "dark ages," the time shortly after the big bang
when the first stars reheated the cold, dark universe.

Great stuff

I recently saw some Warhol paintings. One of them struck me: his "Electric Chairs". The idea is simple enough. It's a reflection about capital punishment. But the way that it was painted, with multiple, dizzying repetitions, gives us the idea about the frenesi we live in, our crazy, busy, meaningless world.

On a different venue, I read a fantastic quote by him. The theme of the quotation is a famous cliche but the way he said it was very clever. Enjoy!

"Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches."
(Andy Warhol)

A piece of Kierkegard's E/O... makes one think about the meaning of life...


"Of all ridiculous things the most ridiculous seems to me, to be busy — to be a man who is brisk about his food and his work. Therefore, whenever I see a fly settling, in the decisive moment, on the nose of such a person of affairs; or if he is spattered with mud from a carriage which drives past him in still greater haste; or the drawbridge opens up before him; or a tile falls down and knocks him dead, then I laugh heartily."

Hamlet

What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite in
faculties! In form and moving, how express and admirable! In
action how like an angel! In apprehension, how like a god! The
beauty of the world! The paragon of animals!
