A Form of Art

When Michelangelo was painting the Sistine Chappel's ceiling he surely thought "I'm grasping a little bit of the sky...". It is a scientific fact that evolution did not provide men with wings to fly. But what makes Science so interesting is that it can't explain everything that surrounds us. It is still to be found the scientifical explanations for what Michelangelo did in a simple ceiling or what Nate Robinson (the New York Knicks player in the picture) did this last Saturday in a basketball court in Las Vegas. Having 1.61 m and dunking in a 3 m basketball hoop is what every single athlete calls A Form of Art.
When we listen to a particular good music or read a particular good book or even see a particular good movie we don't pause to question any sort of events, we let ourselves (without even noticing) to go in that flow of experiences. Nate Robinson was preparing himself for something everybody thought and said was impossibble ... he knew it wasn't, so it only took him a few seconds to get ready. He was running down the floor in the direction of a mountain in everybody's eyes ... he saw a simple basketball hoop. And he jumped. There was a strange silence in the air, the same strange silence that there is inside of the Sistine Chappel full of tourists admiring a form of art...

Layout ideas and posting

Fellow internauts: (it's the last time I'm going to use it, I promise)

This post is about two things that have been talked about in class and on some comments.

First off, layout ideas. I believe we should find at least ONE we all like and then make it suitable to our tastes and needs, perhaps using some photos or ready made graphics?
Anyway, first step - take a look at these if have the time and then post here a link to the layout or leave a comment, whatever you like (Note: for those less comfortable with HTML you should just copy the link on the adress bar and paste it on the post):

• Six Shooter Media - The designer of this site is a twenty-something genius! He has several great free templates, but most are not specifically for Blogger, so they would require using Fileshack and/or imageshack to put on. Still, a lot of good ideas there - my personal favourite is Aqueous, as I said in a comment already.
• Create Blog.com - There isn't a lot we can use here, as they are either a) Incredibly unpratical b) Television or music themed c) a bit heavy, but there are still some good design there.
• Blogger templates.org - There are only a handful of templates here, but boy are they good. If you go to attempt, you'll find my - reluctant - favourite already applied, and modified, called Rounded Blue.

YES, I know, there are hundreds of results for "Blogger Templates" in Google. Oh, alright, I'll give you another example, that matches our - current - blog title:

• It's called Write, from this kind of average site
  

[For some reason, www.bookofstyles.org is down]

Last, but not least, for those enchanted with the possibility of doing a blog of your own and wanting something different without much trouble there's:

• Firdamatic - a VERY easy-to-use template creating tool. Plus, has the possibility to use 2 or 3 columns, and use your own images if you posted them in your site, imageshack or something similar

I would have already posted a review for NBC's "Heroes", but I haven't gotten the green light from Dubeth yet(I wanted it to be as perfect as possible, and didn't quite know how to integrate a video directly on the Blog).

However, don't hesitate to post! Like we talked about earlier, taking something interesting off the web for example, or, why not?, write your very own personal rants! are what the blog is here for! :-) Personally, I'd like to see what you have to say, and also what you share from what Wigu and Overcompensating (both Webcomics) creator Jeff Rowland comicly calls "the interwebs". ;-) Happy posting
