NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory rover will take my name to Mars in 2011. Isn’t that awesome?!
I’m among the 3885 portuguese citizens that will have their name included in a microchip that will stand for eternity in the ”red planet” .

Father’s Day at my daughter’s school

Today, I went to my daughter’s school and for almost one hour I was with the kids teaching a few things about logos… boy, at first, when I questioned if they know what logos are they answered ’No, what are logos?’ :)
After a brief explanation I decided to make a challenge that I prepared earlier… I printed some logos, folded the paper in 4 parts and I only showed them the upper left quarter… and can you believe it?
They guessed correctly all the logos!!
After that I let them express themselves by drawing on the black board the logos they made up… Man, I’ll never forget this wonderful experience…
Oh… and I received a nice signed ‘certificate’ made by my lovely daughter.
Thank you!

Hi,

Today I was returning home after my daughter’s pediatrician appointment, when all of  a sudden I saw a green guy walking on the sidewalk of Rotunda da Boavista, Porto.

I immediately grabbed my smartphone and  took the picture the fast as I can because the light went green and I needed to turn right. Unfortunately a car almost hide all my favorite mascot…. Can you spot him and tell me who it is?

 

 

 

You guessed. It’s the Google’s Android mascot! :P
