December is here, and with it many new projects, voyages, deadlines, and excitement about seeing old friends and family. I am finally feeling more at home in this new city, but, maybe I'll be on the move again next year.
I find international politics very interesting. It's like a big live soap opera. But even more dramatic since the actors have real guns, it all is mysterious, and the large number of characters in the story creates great complexity. Within all this, I find Wikileaks intriguing and I want to talk with people around me about it. But, no one seems to care about this huge exposure of information in my lab, or in facebook!!! why!!! are people afraid of talking about it??? it it politically incorrect??? or simply, no one around me cares about it??? or do I have too much free time to think about it???

Anyway, I am posting two simple pictures of poster boards from Harvard Yard, one of my favorite places in Cambridge. I am finding poster texture, color, and information quite interesting. I don't know what it is about it. These boards take a life of their own, like trash cans, saying a lot about the communities that they belong to. Furthermore, each poster can be considered a piece of art. We could ponder about some of those for quite some time.
