21 Anos

E aí pessoal!

Hoje é meu aniversário! :) 21 anos!

Olhem só o que pessoas conquistaram na minha idade:

At age 21:

Italian violinist and composer Giuseppe Tartini had a dream in which he sold his soul to the Devil. The piece he wrote upon waking, the "Devil's Sonata," was the best he ever wrote, though far inferior to the one he heard in his dream.

American novelist Herman Melville jumped ship and spent a month as the captive of a cannibal tribe. This became the source of his novel Typee.

Jack London went to the Klondike with the first rush of gold-seekers, returning home a year later as poor as when he had left.

English chemist Humphry Davy discovered nitrous oxide ("laughing gas"), and suggested that it may have use as an anaesthetic.

Thomas Alva Edison created his first invention, an electric vote recorder. After it failed to sell, he decided to devote his energy to inventions for which there was a market.

John Dillinger robbed a grocery store, was caught and spent 9 years in prison. He later became "public enemy number one," before being gunned down by the FBI.

Luther Burbank purchased 17 acres of land near Lunenburg, Massachusetts and began a plant-breeding career that would span 55 years.

Pablo Casals made significant modifications in cello playing technique and was acclaimed as a master.

Pittsburgh songwriter Stephen Foster wrote "Oh! Susanna!" which quickly gained great popularity.

Future robber baron Jay Gould began investing in the leather business and speculating in railroad stocks.

Robert Browning publishes his first poetry; it is poorly received.

Alfred Tennyson publishes his first poetry; it is poorly received.

College dropout Steven Jobs co-founded Apple Computer.

French mathematician Evariste Galois developed group theory (and many other theorems) before his death at the age of 21.

Jesse Ball of New York stayed awake for 129 hours. At this same age, he had a dream that seemed to last 13 years.

Things Other People AccomplishedWhen They Were Your Age

Coisas que outras pessoas conquistaram na sua idade!

Hoje eu estava conversando com um amigo e tinha dúvidas quanto a escrita da palavra "accomplished". Resolvi buscar no google e encontrei um site muito bacana!

O site tem como título o seguinte: "Things Other People AccomplishedWhen They Were Your Age".

Neste site, você digita sua idade e o sistema retorna coisas que pessoas famosas conquistaram na sua idade!

Digitei 20 anos (minha idade) e encontrei o seguinte:

At age 20:

1. 
   Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard and cofounded Microsoft.




2. 
   Canadian hockey player Scott Olsen founded Rollerblade, Inc.




3. 
   English novelist Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, which was immediately successful.




4. 
   Ragtime composer Scott Joplin became an itinerant pianist and travelled throughout the Midwest.




5. 
   Despite a lack of experience, James Cagney fast-talked his way into a vaudeville dancing job.




6. 
   Egyptian hermit Saint Anthony gave away his inheritance and joined a group of ascetics, eventually becoming the father of Christian Monasticism.




7. 
   D. H. Lawrence began writing his first novel, The White Peacock.




8. 
   Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice, her second and most famous novel.




9. 
   English author Elizabeth Barrett Browning published her first volume of poetry.




10. 
    Polish-born Joseph Conrad, one of the great English language novelists, began learning English, his third language.




11. 
    Charles Lindbergh learned to fly.




12. 
    John Stuart Mill pulled himself out of depression and found that the ordinary events of life could again give him some moderate amounts of pleasure. He decided that happiness is attained not by making it the direct goal of life, but by fixing one's mind on some other pursuit.




13. 
    Leon Battista Alberti wrote a Latin comedy that was hailed as the "discovered" work of a Roman playwright.




14. 
    The Greek philosopher Plato became a disciple of Socrates.




15. 
    Alexander Graham Bell taught a stray Skye Terrier to talk. By training the dog to growl on cue and then manipulating his mouth and throat, Bell could make him produce the phonemes "ow, ah, ooh, ga, ma, ma," to say "How are you, Grandmama?"

Não preciso nem falar da primeira ocorrência né??? Se eu fosse o Bill Gates, uma hora dessa estaria fundando a Microsoft!!

Hora de conquistar o mundo!

Spider Man 3, Snow Patrol e SoundPedia!

Meu primeiro post vai ser sobre o filme que eu espero ver na estréia sexta-feira! Homem-Aranha 3! :)

Acho que nem tem muito o que falar, é o filme mais caro da história do cinema!

Além disso, entrei no site oficial hoje (http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/spiderman3/site/main.php) e, ao checar a trilha sonora, descobri que tem uma música do Snow Patrol chamada "Signal Fire".

Logo em seguida, visitei o SoundPedia (http://www.soundpedia.com), para quem não conhece, lá você consegue escutar cds inteiros de suas bandas favoritas, ver os vídeos, criar playlists... tudo de graça!! Bem melhor que o Sonora por exemplo :) Até conhecer o Soundpedia, eu gostava muito do Last.fm, que toca músicas relacionadas a banda ou autor que você buscou!

Bom, gostei muito da música, e o vídeo é melhor ainda!! Muito original, assim como o "vídeo da vez" que você pode encontrar a direita --->

Em outro post eu explico a história do "vídeo da vez" haha!

Agora, assistam o clipe :)
