I'll not be on-line starting tomorrow until the end of the month in observance of the Holy Week. That will be four days without blog :-p I am half-geek after all! In the News: The physics of classical poetry A superficial knowledge of the Greek language - alpha particles, beta decay, gamma rays and so on all the way to Omega Centauri - is essential for any scientist. But Ricardo Mansilla, a mathematician at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, has taken a much deeper interest in this ancient language. Working with Edward Bush, a classicist, Mansilla has used methods from statistical physics to analyse the difference between classical Greek and Latin poetry (arXiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0203135). Mansilla and Bush hope that their techniques may be able to shed new light on unanswered questions about two of the most famous poems of all time - the Iliad and the Odyssey .

Sapphic Verses will be a collection of short poems, fragments, and experimental verses as well. Here's an example: TELL ME what is love's middle name? Feature: Eman as koan by Alfred A. Yuson ( from The Philippine STAR 03/11/2002) The Office of Research and Publications (ORP) of the Ateneo de Manila University has reissued Eman’s Salvaged Poems, edited by his brother Jose F.

I've created the website for the Voice of our Youth in just one and a half day or so ( wink! ). No fancy effects though. Simply plain, static and simple site. Voice of our Youth is an impromptu speaking contest open to Filipino high school students from public and private schools nationwide. It seeks to develop the students' ability to form their point of view on a particular topic within a limited preparation time and to powerfully convey their message to an audience through the effective use of plain English. It is intended to inspire the Filipino youth to attain world-class proficiency in English communication, in furtherance of universal understanding and cooperation. Owen Dunford, a contributing poet of the Makata, has just launched The Immediate Life which will serve as a web-based journal of poetry and prose appearing this April 2002. Contributions for its maiden issue are welcome.

I modified the cover page and the Makata section to add some typographic effect and visual abruptness on the background image. So far, the result is good. in the promised land the god of war assume his fitted place between the stalwart soldiers and muslim braves he is neither Greek nor Roman god but a dot, a space, a distance that will punctuate the course of our history in the foughten fields are days of thunder and sleepless nights each morrow seems to be the last to a comrade or a foe meanwhile, we anticipate the news separating the grains from the heap of sensualized journalism and just this morning while some Americans woo our countrymen down south an earthquake shook the land the One has declared his presence but still we do not understand the signs not that they are too profound to construe we only read them with our eyes not with our hearts and minds

I attended a 2-day seminar (for free) at Heidelberg Philippines last March 1 & 2. My company sent me as one of the representatives despite the fact that it is far too unrelated to my job. Anyways, I'm glad I participated in the said seminar. I acquired some basic knowledge and new skills about printing, cutting, folding, binding, etc. The only topic that I am familiar with is the Color Management in which I am already using / applying in web page design and in calibrating my computer screen and graphic softwares to get the ICC profile. I didn't mind the European accent of the foreign speakers. I was not that interested in their lectures except for the two (out of 5) speakers who delivered their lectures quite eloquently. And yes, I kept on going back to the coffee table in-between lectures. (Yawns!) No doubt that I was impressed with the modern printing machines exhibited in the showroom - the Polar cutter (manufactured in Poland), the GTO 52 (a 4-color printer that produce...
