Berkeley, Friday, April 11, 2025 6:56 PM It is Friday April 11. How this semester has flew so fast. Nowadays I am trying to do many things by instincts. I know that has consequences, but I hate to assent something that I do not feel with my heart. Life is beyond the self, so how […]
Compulsory Voting System?
Berkeley, Friday, April 11, 2025 11:19 AM In Ecuador, everyone between 18 to 65 years old, I believe, must vote in any election or referendum, so they keep their civil rights, otherwise one needs to pay a fine for that purpose. Citizens between 16 to 18, older than 65 years old, I believe, and citizens […]
Brainwash or leaning new things?
Berkeley, Thursday, April 10, 2025 8:55 Pm I have treated this blog as a personal notebook today, which is my actual intention, but apologies if you have received a notification each time I have felt to discharge an idea in here while I have been doing additional stuff. Being exposed to a new way, a […]
Many places to write?
Berkeley, Thursday, April 10, 2025 4:07 PM I should always carry my notebook with me. I was reflecting over lunch about all the walls, paper, digital spaces, rocks, etc, that we have to write and how we have prohibited that activity over time. I know this is not an elaborated version. But thinking back, the […]
Penalties for late work
Berkeley, Thursday, April 10, 2025 12:45 Pm I will start from what I know about late work: The Workers in the Vineyard. Mt 20: 1-15. This says that someone who arrives late to the work can also get the same payment. Leviticus 19:13. Talks rather about paying as soon as possible. Not withholding overnight wages. […]
Decisions about meal plans at one place
Berkeley, Thursday, April 10, 2025 12:18 PM Food it is quite expensive in Berkeley. Cooking and buying groceries is quite enlightening. Being on campus might be convenient for making work progress. Buying a 30 meal plan could be quite an investment by being about 35 days from the end of the semester. One meal could […]
A río revuelto
Berkeley, Thursday, April 10, 2025 11:44 am This is a terrible quote with a terrible connotation, but so true. I guest I do not know about the quote, and I haven’t done much fishing either. But it is true fishing in trouble waters might be convenient for fishing. Is it? Regardless the connotation, which I […]
Statistics
Berkeley, Monday, April 7, 2025 4:39 PM We have evolved to become quite precise about data, statistics and keep producing metrics of several things. However, we learn much better about a written decision making process, or a detail cross section, or plain view, or bird eye view or a painting. It is quite important to […]
Elections in Ecuador
Berkeley, April 6, 2025 5:12 Pm As a diversion of my attention, and because it is compulsory, but more because I have always cared about, next Sunday April 13, are the run-off presidential elections in Ecuador for the term May 2025 to May 2029. The problem? While I have checked the news and now and […]
Beard
Berkeley, Friday, April 4, 2025 2:04 Pm “Cuando las barbas de tu vecino veas pelar, pon las tuyas a remojar” (see ref at Cervantes.es) This is a Castellano colloquialism, which means if you see a problem in your neighbor, better stay alert or prevented. In any case the literal meaning from which year I do […]
