Underneath Tokio

Last page of the Internet

Wonder which page is the very last one?

You can now reach the ending point of the net by going to The Last Page of The Internet. And if you enjoy it, try visiting the home URL of that site. There just had to be something like this somewhere. [Thanks Javi for the tip]

Worldwide company ranking

A ranking featuring the most admired, respected, innovatibe, valuable and socially responsible companies in the world

The scans I’ve got from a spanish magazine may be of horrible quality, crooked and in spanish, but they show some interesting rankings. My personal favourites are up there: Sony Ericsson as the second most innovative of all, Coca-cola the leading in the food industry and in some top-tens and Microsoft at the top of many lists. Take a look at yours after the link.

Frigdgepoetry

A must-have extra for your fridge with way more interactivity than a magnet chess game

I first saw a fridge full of tiny magnets with one word each at a party this weekend, but it seems it’s an invention from a Swedish company that’s being sold since 1998 and received the “Gift of the year” award in 2000. The 510 magnets contain all kinds of verbs, nouns, pronouns, etc., and many spare letters, suffixes and prefixes that you combine to build and rebuild sentences every time you need cold milk (all in standard Times New Roman). Visit the spanish website (Frigopoesía) or google fridge poetry.

AVTG is back

Another opportunity for this weblog

Not updated since April, Avantglance’com â€â€a site born in early 2003â€â€, was a wannabee cool magazine… with a much-loved by-me interface and updated through static HTML XD. Now with all this blog mania I have finally decided to modernize my publishing methods and therefore standarize the design. Thanks to WordPress this site is now more enjoyable to blog into. Fernando and I will try again to tell things worth whoever-wants-to-read-us’ precious time. Big welcome to you all!

By the way, all the entries from the past are still here, but as you will see most are a bit outdated or oldfashioned. Here’s a list of some (still) interesting ones:

The T.N.K. beat: John Lennon’s rare “Tomorrow Never Knows†beat in four flavours
Radio3: Listen to this radio station, watch MTV, and you get the whole idea of 21st century music
War by kids: Children are supposed to have a special ability to see things with an amazingly naive yet quite enlightening point of view
Guggenheim in Rio: Jean Nouvel has designed an incredible building for the new Guggenheim Museum in Rio
Megalomania: I always find quite satisfying to find something I can beat a world record with
Incomprehensible: There’s something more fascinating in sun eclipses than the eclipse itself

The T.N.K. beat

John Lennon’s rare “Tomorrow Never Knows” beat in four flavours

If The Beatles made a crazy song, that was Tomorrow Never Knows. I have found several versions made by other artists of all styles; here you have the best ones:
The original Beatles song
801 live version
Our Lady Peace version
Phil Collins version
The Chemical Brother’s “Setting Sun”
