Wallpapers

The wallpaper is something that everyone gets to your computer with a certain dedication, being a very personal thing because it is the first thing you see when you turn on your computer and the thing you know it'll be behind of numerous windows that accumulate in the Start bar after a couple of minutes.

Talking about the wallpapers I public, it is noteworthy that all will be dark, rather tending to black, by the fact that I don't like they were brightness because  generally I work on my computer at night with dim light. And focusing on what is the theme of them, most have some feature gothic and more than once, bloody and unpleasant (to diferent tastes the colors were make, not it?).

As the presentation of this post as the one on the right side of the blog, you can see a few wallpapers that I have. I'll add more to the presentation with the days. If you click on a presentation album, you will enter to the big view and you can download them if you want. Here I leave the link to Picasa album.

Wallpapers have been collected from different sites, found on Internet, or even an modified image.

You are free to download some of then if you want.

Here are a few:

My video channel

Link to the channel

As you can see I have created a video channel for everybody could enjoy it. I will upload music videos that seem to me worthy of being in the channel, or I like them for any reason. Also I have created a presentation on the right sidebar, so if you want, you can see one while you are reading this blog. I will be adding more videos over time, and also I will create albums grouping videos by artists, which you can access from the channel. The videos are unlocked for free download or for insertion into other blogs or web pages.

Curiosities              

As we all know, a video clip is a video that gives a visual representation of a song. The origins of the video clips date from the 20's, when Oskar Fischinger created visual pieces for existing songs. 60 years later, in 1981, MTV was born, the first 24 hours music channel. The first video broadcast was "Video Killed the Radio" the group "The Buggles". One year later, Mecano recorded the first music video in Spanish, "En tu fiesta me colé". The most expensive music video  of the history is "Scream" by Michael Jackson with Janet Jackson.

** Due to not know why there are times when a video fails, to fix it just refresh the page. I hope to have it resolved soon. **

New section: Notes

Today, I create new section: Notes. In this section i will publish papers, reports and other interesting documents which I have been making throughout my student life. I am not very sure what and when I will upload, if not all of them, most will be technical.

In order to uploading these documents is not make anyone's homework, but to serve as consulting and do life easier for any lost soul who, whatever strange reason,  has reached to my blog.

That mos of the notes will be in Spanish is very likely, but also hope to upload some of them in English.

All documents are in PDF format, copy text and images is enabled, so you are free to copy what you want.

An important thing, and just to avoid misunderstanding, I am not responsible for the information that is included in the documents. But good thing for everyone is that if one of you find any error in the uploaded notes, write about it in the comments, so that others notice it.

I would appreciate if you consult any documents, you leave me a comment.
