This is a small post for the #alternativeweekend channel started by @slobberchops a few weeks ago. This is about sharing one or more songs in the alternative or progressive specter. Which you'll agree

These vermilion gates are beautiful, aren't they? I think they are the second most popular image of Japan in the world, just after Mount Fuji. This was taken in 2014 in Kyoto, and this is just a few of

This is a street in Osaka, and the picture has been taken in 2016 on our second trip to Japan. Thanks to the power of Google Maps and the fact that the Asunaro Bar's signboard is written in roman characters,

This is a little throwback to our 2014 visit in Japan. Maybe a subliminal message somewhere made me thing about a panda, who knows! In 2014, the next morning after we arrived, and after having a surprisingly

People say one cannot say he has been to the Gaspé peninsula without seeing the Percé Rock, literally the pierced rock, a huge natural formation that looks like an arch. It was named as such by Samuel

The Bonaventure river is one of the most beautiful and transparent I've seen so far. It does not havr this turquoise color of the West Canadian lakes such as Lake Louise or Lake Payto, but still it is

Yesterday was a bit rainy but it did not stop us from exploring the south coast of the Gaspésie region, near Bonaventure and Saint-Siméon. In the end it lead us to a small beach where we took a walk. The

I think Today's pictures were of the easiest kind to take: Mother Nature already did an awesome job and I am just pressing a button on my smartphone (which by the way has a knack for landscape pictures

After a few weeks of rather intense work, we finally have a well deserved one week break. My activity on steemit suffered much because of extra hours of work, but I am not going to complain as they are

It was a rather uneventful personal weekend, with most time spent at work or doing work things (I'll repeat it again, but you've got to keep reading and experimenting to stay on top of the curve in software

Last week, @slobberchops posted the first entry in #alternativeweekend, which is about posting three tunes that you like in either alternative or progressive music styles. Little did I know when I started

It's not that long time ago; in fact, it's just a few days ago, last Monday. I won't say I will start from now on to non stop listen to the 10 albums of the Foo Fighters. But the quality of their live

I thought I would have more time and be able to post about Sandbanks in Ontario this week, but time is a resource that is definitely scarce lately for me. I am in the process of learning a new

I have been reading Rock Paper Shotgun and its Sunday Papers for quite some time; they are basically a recap of what has been going on in the PC Gaming world each week. I also find their reviews and previews

You won't see me post car pictures very often, really. I like nice cars and I certainly one day would like to own a Tesla S or an Audi R8 (who wouldn't?), but those are nice things to have and since I
