All I could say was… WTF?!?! Looks like someone messed it up somewhere… a user should not see another user when he is in “Appear as Offline” status ….
So, if you think you are safely hidden from gazing eyes when appearing as offline, think again. MSN seems to have a God mode, and he uses a Mac :-)
Well, as the title says, I missed it again. When Dudamel was on tour last year in Europe, it was impossible to get a ticket. Then I visit a friend in Stockholm, but he was performing one week after. Then he made a special concert on Ludwigshafen (5 minutes from here), but I couldn’t get a ticket either… now, I was on Berlin for a conference, and he was directing Don Giovanni, but of course, I had to leave, it was the last train, when he was performing one hour later, grr…
Well, I will have to wait and and be patient. Maybe in the future.
This is just a mental excercise, so let’s play a little, shall we? =)
Mixing two Science Fiction worlds is always dangerous. However, both the Three Laws of Robotics from Isaac Asimov and the Matrix Universe from the Wachowski brothers explore the issue of machines becoming intelligent and having the capacity to destroy their makers, that is, us.

I was looking at this movie again last week, it’s really visually very attractive. Not that the story is not good, it’s also great (a Philip Dick story after all). I took afterwards some time to research on the movie, specially the difficulties they had during post production. Every frame was processed by hand by a huge team of animators doing digital rotoscoping all day… for 18 months!
I really like the result.
