A friend of mine has sent me an URL to Context Free, a programming environment for the CFDG language -very simple, but very powerful that defines context free grammars- which generates beautiful graphic structures as shown in this post.

This language allows you to define a ser of non-deterministic rules, which executes in a recursive fashion, in a way that resembles Prolog.

The program is available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh under the GPL license.

If you’re interested and want to see more pictures, then don’t miss this gallery created by a growing fan group of this language.

Astounding (but REALLY) fan video about the famous Final Fantasy VIII videogame for PlayStation.

The movements and gestures, customes and characterization is so accurate, that it really looks a game-playing session (pay special attention to the Shiva gag).

To be fair to the previous post, I have to say there also are outrageous actions commited by the so called advanced western societies.

The recent publication of a horrible video of the Brisith Army, let me speechless. I would have never imagined so much sadism.

It seems the video is recorded by a a British corporal. To my opinion, the worst was hearing the off-voice along with the images. It reveals someone having fun in such a way that resembles me psychopathic behavior.

The reactions to the scandal inmediately followed the video publication. Unfortunately, moral damage is already done and the supposed high reputation of the British Army has been disgraced, though government has taken action (at less 4 soldiers being jailed already).

Worst of all, this video could lead (again) to violent reprisals and increase the spiral of violence started a couple of weeks ago, due to the Mahoma Cartoons publication.

As most of you already know, those days there’s been a global cultural clash due to some satiric Mahomma cartoons publication. The pictures where first published in several newspapers in Denmark, and later in Norway and some other european countries. Later publications have been found in Usa and Venezuela.

I have to say I hadn’t seen the cartoons, but an acquantaince at work sent me a link of a blog of many of them showing the pictures. I got astounded: All this mess because of that??? The cartoons looked just boring to me. When they talk about lack of respect I supposed it was something really serious.

The worst of all was the violent reactions I saw on TV, in which there’s been even casualties.

Regardless it was a lack of respect, this reaction is absolutely unjustified. There are several things to take into account people who behaved in this way:

The Blog Virus is just a meme joke, which “propagates” when an blog owner decides to post the following:
