Ever wondered what was Coca-Cola's secret ingredient? Well, now you can drink your own home-made Cola, which may taste similar to the real thing. Via Memepool.¶

I have spent 75euro in a couple of CDs and a few magazines. I ordered them from Safety in Numbers, a New York record shop, which most of the money I spent was due to taxes (on both sides of the Atlantic) and shipping fees. Anyway, I don't mind paying such overwhelming taxes for these records, both from Aussie label Surgery Records, as they are quite worth it. Initial Release is a very nice 2CD compilation, enough to keep any good electronica fan happy; and Love Like Life in Miniature by Super Science is an absolutely wonderful record, a Boards of Canada-ish blend of pop and i.d.m., so far my favourite this year. Highly recommended.¶

It's Alex's ('ziggy' of Cafeína fame) birthday. Happy birthday, limey! Anyway, I wonder why many people's birthdays (me included) are during April or May... Oh, I see, they don't have TV sets on those summer resorts' hotel rooms!¶

So I decided I should start 'blogging. In fact, it was almost a year ago I decided I should start blogging. I invited a few friends to 'blog along and the result was Cafeína, a sucessful 'blog that is starting to look more like an e-zine, rather than a typical weblog. Trouble is, it's in Portuguese (of the European variety), so 90% of the world's population can't read it. So here's IF THEN ELSE in standard BBC English so everyone from Jamaica to Australia (even in the U.S.!) can read my stupid rants.¶

FreeWeb is an easy frontend to Ian Clarke's Freenet Project, an encrypted alternative web that seems immune to censorship. Nice. However this still looks like a geek tool, so most people will continue to eat shit sandwiches. Anyway, I can't help feeling sympathy for .free domains. Remember: Free speech is a basic human right.¶

Looks like the Katastro.fi website has been redesigned. It looks nice, but I can't help feeling a little disappointed after such a long wait. It just takes too much space, and I use 1280x1024. I just hate fullscreen browsing, I'm much more of a windows person .¶
