I keep bumping into the topic of electonic books over and over in the past month. Not long ago I had a very thorough argument with my mother on wether books will ever be substituted by computers or e-books. She, hopeful as she always is, believed that books would never ever become a “thing” of […]

THE NEW LANGUAGE
octubre 19th, 2007 · Comments Off on THE NEW LANGUAGE

This led to a new “language”. It´s probably the result of lack of time and the wish to save money. The main rule of this “new language” is the total absence of rules. People […]
