I don’t write for quite a long time. That’s because I’m very busy about other stuff that I’ll write later. This post is about me, being a speaker on the biggest IT event at Portugal: Microsoft Techdays 2008.

In the upper photo I picked my speaker shirt, rules paper and I was going to the MSP meeting. Look at me dressed with the shirt next to Simão, a MSP Alumni and a very good friend:

I had two Hands on Labs - XNA 2.0 that I was gratified to perform. I hope the people that were there liked it, because I did my best to pass in a 1.15 hour the maximum of XNA 2.0 framework.

I have to thank Microsoft for this outstanding opportunity and vote of trust however I have to thank in particular to:

Miguel Vicente - Microsoft Student Partner Manager

Pedro Rosa - Micorosft Software advisor

Jose António Silva  (ZéTó/Canoas) - Microsoft Architect advisor

I was invited by Ana Paula Cruz to be a lecturer at a Pos-Graduation “Brand Management” at IPAM Porto on the module “Branding, Web and Multimedia”.

My first call will be next 2 April and I’m expecting that my students like the theme and the way that I’ll give the class!

Today I make my tribute in honor of this great man who make a true difference in the world and surely his presence will be among us forever.

Since my 8 years old I wanted to see a Pavarotti concert. This will be a wish that will never come true.

Pavarotti - Nessun Dorma - Turandot, Puccini

ITALIAN
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o, Principessa,
nella tua fredda stanza,
guardi le stelle
che fremono d’amore
e di speranza.
Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me,
il nome mio nessun sapra!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro
quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio
che ti fa mia!
(Il nome suo nessun sapra!…
e noi dovrem, ahime, morir!)
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All’alba vincero!
vincero, vincero!

ENGLISH
None must sleep! None must sleep!
And you, too, Princess,
in your cold room,
gaze at the stars
which tremble with love
and hope!
But my mystery is locked within me,
no-one shall know my name!
No, no, I shall say it as my mouth
meets yours when the dawn is breaking!
And my kiss will break the silence
which makes you mine!
(No-one shall know his name,
and we, alas, shall die!)
Vanish, o night!
Fade, stars!
At dawn I shall win

I’ve changed my music on this website (About me) from the American Pie (Don McLean) to Time of your life (Green Day).

I could justify it, but I won’t. One day I’ll post it! Thanks to all, you know who!

I’ll let you with the lyric of Time of Life – Green day.

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don’t ask why
It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it’s worth it was worth all the while

It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Yesterday was a big day for Gaia and Porto city! We were visited by twelve airplanes that crossed our sky and got everyone in loved for them. Over 600000 people were at Rio Douro (Douro River) to see them and breaking all attendance records for both towns.

For you have an idea, our biggest party bring to the streets over 120000 people not even close to the RedBull Air Race phenomenon. I was there too and got a lovely neck pain!!! Those planes leave our sky and us waiting for next year! This was a true flavor of life!

See some photos taken from RedBullAirRace website.

I hope some day see him in first place of single ranking! See his last single.

David Fonseca - Superstars

Great music!!! Great clip!!!

In youtube you can see more of his work! His website David Fonseca.

This music lyric:

Your heart is broken
And you don’t seem to mind
I guess it happened
A little too many times, too many times

You tried and you’ve got tired
Those long half-written stories
You held a fire
Right under the snow

They don’t, they don’t
How could they really know, they don’t
They don’t how it really feels
They’re just here on holidays
Like (dummies ville) landscapes
How could they see you cry
Do you remember me
I was the one that held you through
I held the spotlight when you did that crazy dance
I danced with you, I felt like superstars do
Me and you
We’re just like superstars

I was around you
You couldn’t really tell
I held you close while
While you drove you just drove into hell, you know

A kind of hurt that binds
A light that loves you blind
And while your feet go
They go deeper in the sand
You wait and drown
You’re waving to the crowd, that sits
But they don’t know how it really feels
They’re just here on holidays
Like (dummies ville) landscapes
How could they see you cry
Do you remember me
I was the one that held you through
I held the spotlight when you did that crazy dance for me

Yeah you did that crazy dance
You did that crazy dance for me

Did that crazy dance, did that crazy dance…

‘Cause they don’t know how it really feels
They’re just here on holidays
Like (dummies ville) landscapes
How could they see us cry
Now do you remember me
I was the one that held you through
I held the spotlight when you did that crazy dance for me
As I danced with you, I felt like superstars do
Me and you
We’re just like superstars

Danced with you, just like superstars do
Me and you
Just like superstars
