Francisco Tàrrega Hello Francisco... it is nice to meet you. In the many genres and styles of music that have come and gone there are many classical composers that are famous today. Really it is amazing when you look that musical pieces are found everywhere. Cartoons and in particular Warner brother helped etched certain pieces of classical music into the American psyche, for example, . A

The human mind, the human creativity is capable of so many amazing things that are only the beginning of what we are really capable of.

Wrist watches, Coo Coo Clocks, Hourglasses, sundials, mechanical watches, automatic watches, quartz. Recently I have become engrossed at the complexity and sheer engineering genius of the Swiss made mechanical watch. This has begun to show me how many different types of watches there really are. No only are there many different designs used, they are very intricate and each one a marvel

Well, as the world turns, the sun rises and sets on the same attitudes that have always existed for thousands of years. Unity is always just out of reach of human rulers. If you have been following world news, recently in Italy the Prime Minister passed a decree deporting all Romanians that have committed felonies. While this is logical, the xenophobic tendencies of the Italian people are being

The name, Andy McKee, described as a "new stylist" guitarist and that, he is. Just listen to his song "Drifting" and you will understand what they are talking about. A guitarist learned on a completly different genre of music, Metallica, Dreamtheater, etc, but who has now broken into the acustic arena with an impressive array of original compositions. Every now and then a new acustic guitarist

The Renaissance Influence The Renaissance. In Italian "Rinascimento" or "Rebirth" in English. This is the term that is used to describe the cultural explosion that took place primarily in Italy, and then the rest of Europe that marked the end of the Middle Ages. It is roughly the time span between the 14th and 16th century. Although being founded in 28 C.E by the Romans, Turin was the

I have lived in northwestern Italy for about 2 years now in a very cool baroque city called Turin. It is a very awesome little place to visit situated right in the middle of the Piemonte Province. I personally think it is one of Italy's secret cities. It is not really on the route of most visits to Italy for most tourists however it is definitely worth a stop over to see. In the following

Sometimes it's like hitting your head against a brick wall... Well I as I am trying to familiarize myself with linux and the Ubuntu linux distro, I am realizing that I like it. However there is still a brick wall that I can't seem to get over. I have an HP Pavilion zv6000 that has an ATI Radeon XPRESS 200m graphics card.

The snow crunches beneath my feet. The forest is dark. Night is upon us and the white antiseptic light from the moon filters through the evergreens that surround me. Each breath fills me with life. The brisk awakening feeling that happens when you breath that fresh cold air after the snow has fallen. Moving through the forest shadows dance all around. The moonlight and the shadows swing and

Well, it has been 2 long months since the last time that I have posted here. Sorry, no excuses so here's a start. I am an autodidact. I have many interests and very little time to pursue them... However this is a really cool site for my fellow autodidacts, check it out.

I don't think I consider myself a "history buff" but I have always been fascinated by history. Especially if it is explained in a way that keeps my interest. This last Sunday, after the meeting a few of us went to a free museum that just opened in Turin. It is called: "Turin 1706: The Dawn of a Kingdom". It is a museum all about the "Battle of Turin" that was a turning point in the

I love fascinating articles about trivia, history etc. And I have been reading pretty regularly the articles that are published to the blog "Dang Interesting" (PG version of the site name) Literally there every article is more interesting than the last.

Although in any house or apartment, whether or not you have ever seen them, there are tenants.

I recently stumbled upon this website. It is called the "CIA - World Factbook". It provides detailed information on all countries in the world. Short description of their economy, their government etc. I found it interesting because in our territory we have people from all the Ex Soviet Union countries... like the Ukraine, Moldova, and Kyrgyzstan, just to name a few. It gave me a little insight

I don't know if you have heard or seen any of the songs by the band "OK GO", but their tunes are pretty catchy. I can't recommend their other stuff because I haven't heard it but I really like the following two.
