Gian Marco Montesano: un ulteriore disonesto intellettuale? La storia la scrivono i cineasti.

May 13, 2008

Specialmente in Italia, e in particolar modo negli ultimi anni, va di moda fare di nazismo e comunismo un unico bel pacchetto da dare in pasto al pubblico. Generalmente si sottolinea quanti ebrei furono uccisi dai due regimi. Questo basta per condannare il comunismo come copia uguale e contraria del nazismo, se non ancora peggiore, come evidenziato da edizioni politicamente necessarie come “Il libro nero del comunismo”. Si e’ ormai dimenticato chi invase chi e chi si difese da chi, chi sacrifico’ 20 milioni di abitanti e chi intervenne alla fine del conflitto per motivi economici … ma dopo 60 anni sono quisquiglie passate, e la storia la scrivono i cineasti (di cui Montesano fa pure parte, un caso?).

May 13, 2008

The game is: find something looking like this on 18 pictures of Mars surface. Each picture is as big as 1600 monitor screens at 1000×1000 dpi of resolution. Click HERE and help science to understand why the Polar Lander wen so badly silent 9 years ago (choose Full image (grayscale, non-map projected) for each picture to have a nice look on Mars surface). To get an idea of what you should see, here are pictures of the path finder.


Neuchâtel and Bieler See shot with a EF 70-300 mm

Nice food, really nice food in Neuchâtel at Le Maison des Halles. Not only for food we went to the Neuchâtel lake region, but especially for a bike tour. We rent two light and comfortable mountain bikes at the station (28 CHF per day) and we had an 8 hours tour from Neuchâtel to the Sankt Peter insel, biking along the channel connecting the two lakes and having a quick stop in Le Landeron.

Better you watch our picture in Flickr (CLICK HERE to open this picture set page) to get an idea of what we did. Practically every picture has been taken with my EF 70-300mm, f/4-5.6 IS USM … enjoy the nice light and focus effects obtained with it.
