Today, a curiosity out of the depths of the internet. Sometime ago I recorded an audiobook version of the short story “The Fog Horn“ by Ray Bradbury as a complement to my Spanish-language podcast. Well, it turns out that a listener from Mexico DF, who signs his Myspace as Ding Ding, has used samples of that recording to create an electronic ambient track:
Líneas férreasAllá afuera en el agua helada, lejos de la costa, esperábamos todas las noches la llegada de la niebla, y la niebla llegaba, y aceitábamos la maquinaria de bronce, y encendíamos los faros de niebla en lo alto de la torre. […] que miraba los barcos solitarios. […] que miraba los barcos solitarios. […] que miraba los barcos solitarios. […] -¿En qué piensa usted, McDunn, cuando lo dejo solo? -En los misterios del mar. […] -Los misterios del mar -dijo McDunn pensativamente-. ¿Pensaste alguna vez que el mar es como un enorme copo de nieve? Se mueve y crece con mil formas y colores, siempre distintos.
August!
Summer, holidays and spare time! Well, at least for some – me, I’m up to my eyebrows in work…
I’ll tell you some about my job soon. In the meantime, for those of you with time for leisure, here are some hints to make good use of it:

Among the restless artists who gather here, not few of us care for more than literature. For those of you with a pictorial inclination, I present this list of “the 50 greatest novels for art students“, arguable as any list but full of gems, many of them little known, all of them crowded with painters, except for the presence as star guests of a duo of comic authors and an architect. There’s history and fiction, business and introspection. Explore, and let me know what your recommendations are. Do you miss any titles here?
I’ve been updating WordPress and fixing a couple of issues. There’s one I’m particularly happy about. Do you remember of little cat friend?
The search box didn’t always work properly, but after all this time it seems I’ve been able to fix it. I hope you find it useful!
