Reading The Second Friday (sometimes I do act as a bastard) I found myself with an interview to Tironi. And there we said that what we had missed this government was epic, story -ideology to the end. But, if badly I do not remember, a few days after the speech of May 21, Tironi posed […]

new technologies: A leap into the future
Well, as the last human development report already came out, I already have a copy (thanks Rodrigo), tap the time to comment. And (sorry Rodrigo), but it seems to me that not turn out so well.
