(this is and older post)
This is andrea Blanche´s Blog and after watching almost all of the blogs, I think this is the most interesting for me. Why? Because she post creative topics, talks about things that matters her self and from a very sincerly perspective! Using common words , but never loosing the grammar style, beeing very friendly at reading.
Talking about the post, I had 2 favourites. One that talkes about Digilicious.cl and the other is a musical post, Beatboxing flute on Mario´s theme. For the first I found it very interesting and positive, because she shows us a website that help Graphic Designers to show their works or to discuss about diferent topics happenig now or past a time, beeing a very usefull tool to learn, publicity, and be in touch with actuality news! The other post (beatboxing) is very funny and maybe wonderfull because I never saw a beatbox with some wind instrument and I think that it works perfectly. Another thing that I liked of this post, is the fact hat she talks about her own life, experiences with the music and family. (And I think that it wasn`t a task post, so it`s markable)
Another post that I liked (because I red it too), was the reading post. "the catched in the rye". My mom gave me this book when I was 15 or 16, on pick of puberty, and told me hat she has red it too when se was 16 and loved it. She gave me the book on english, and, so as Andrea, I loved like it was written and the topics that itçs author writes about.
Well, nothing less to say, more that my congratulation about "closethedooropenthewindow" (honestly I think that this blog`s name is about going to the bathroom, funny!) and goodbye.

THE ART OF BLOGGING
Hi everybody!
Well, I`m totally surprised. I really never thought that I could possibly became a Blog Man! 6 months ago, I discovered (as I posted a few months ago here on my blog) facebook.com, and I became an internet addict.
When I wake up in the mornig, the first thing to do is to check my e-mails at http://www.gmail.com/ (it´s th best for sure) hopping to have good news about something, expexting that one day, I find a "you won a million dollars, congratulations"... we all know it´ñs not gonna happen but.. I just can´t stop dreaming.
I´t a big theme, because 5 years ago, or maybe 3; the world wasn´t this way! Now it´s completly comunicated, if you want to contact a friend in china, singapour, afganistan, new york; all you have to do is to write an email! It´so usefull and dangerous at the time, because if we think deeper, the "touching" comunication is pooring down each day! We are less at home, and with the cell phone thing, we bacame reachable all day/night long!... Sometimes it scares me because something special of the relationships, is the intrigue or the uncertanty of calling someone home and maybe the person is not there, so you must wait to call again, and I thing the other person becames more "interesting", for just beeing "unreachable".
Fine, but going to the blog thing, I think that it´s very interesting. You can share things with other people, not just your friends because is a global network! Anyone can see my blog and do comments about topics I write and by my point of view, I find it amazing. You are connected to the hole world, no geography bounds or limits.
When I uploaded my first task, I felt like a child doing a task for school, something very unknown for me. Some embarasment too, sharing my opinion to anyone is not so easy. I thimk that making a blog and posting avery week about diferent topics, is a very intensive, interesting a productive axercise to improve your english because you write about thing tou´re interested and you want to do it better everytime you post a new thing. And it´s not like a written test, because the test is ridden only by the professor instead by the blog anyone can see your work, how´s your english and have a comment about that! You must watch out about you write!
Well, here I finish my post, giving thank´s to Simon for have this blog´s great idea helping to us improving our english in a friendly and funny way.

T E D
First of all, I would like to say that I haven´t knew about this thing! And I loved it!
I think that it´s very interesting because it´s an annual event where the most important people in each topic joins and shares things that may be of interest to anyone of us. Those topics concerns to all the human existance! Like economy, arts, design, culture, design, technology, entertainment, etc.
Well. I chosen the theme "design" and one of the expositions was the "Paul McCready: flies on solar wings" because the solar energy is something than I think that it must be used in most of every things. It´s the most valuable and inexhaustible resource.
Paul McCready talks and tells us how he got into de human powered aircrafts (economic reasons because he made a loan of uss 100.000 to a very friends of his to invert them on human powered aircraft´s contest and the friend lost it and returned him in terms of debt. He has to do something and won the contest, getting back the uss 100.000 plus uss300.000 more! And then he was on a family trip and started to watch the birds, how the could go in circles and beeing moved only by the air.
Time later, we started to work with the goberment people, and developed model planes, that could serve like surveillance birds for the army or the solar powered plane, that it´s just like a bird! Moves it´s wings and work like a real one! It´s amazing, really.
You should see he video, he´s a nice old men and shows some videos that are very interesting, at least for me.
