My Tablet

My favourite piece of technology is...MY TABLET!!!
A tablet or tablet computer is one-piece mobile computer with a touchscreen. You don't need a keyboard is include, actually it's a virtual keyboard. Also, you don't need a mouse, you only need your fingers or a stylus.
I got it last year in Christmas, well was a Christmas present but my father gave me the tablet two weeks before Christmas Eve. You can use it for many things, you can read books, newspaper, works, also you can play different styles of games, surf in the internet, write, take pictures, etc. But I especially use it for read, but also for play Angry birds and other games.
When I was in summertime, I used to use my tablet everyday for read (I maybe spent all my time reading this summer) but when the classes started in the University I must use it only weekends or when I have time for a break.
I like my tablet because I can take to everyplace, it's very light and the battery go on for hours. My life without my tablet maybe could be boring, because I love reading and playing Angry birds. And also, I love taking pictures, especially to my nephew, who is photogenic.

Anime

The Japanese animation well-known as "Anime" is cartoon that talk about the story of a young character. Almost talk about the relationship of the main character with his/her friends and love one. If an idyllic story that the most of the fans want to have.

When I was around 3 years old, my sister used to watch "Sailor Moon" and I loved this anime. This anime talked about Selene's life, she was a normal girl but one day she found a talking cat with a half moon in the front that told her that her mission is become a Sailor Senshi (warrior, protector). Since that day, she must protect the world of the Dark Kingdom, in that process she met other magical girls that helped her to keep the peace.
Other anime that I used to watch, is "Ranma 1/2", that anime was my favorite. That anime is really weird, it's about a guy that, I don't remember why, but change to a girl. In many countries was censured, but it's very fun and funny.


With my brother I saw anime too. I saw "Knights of the Zodiac", "Dragon Ball", "Dragon Ball Z" and others. I must recognize that are old animes. But when I was around 8 or 9 years old, I watched "Sakura Cardcaptor".
The anime influenced my life, was the first cartoons I have seen in my life and was very important in my childhood.
I know that Japanese modern culture is based in anime characters and should be interesting look the mixture of the old and new Japanese culture.
About the songs, my sister told me that I sang all the opening and closing songs. Here you have one is the closing of Dragon Ball Z. Enjoy it :)

Bruce Trigger

 If you like Archaeology, you should know about Bruce Trigger.
Bruce Graham Trigger was born in Preston, Ontario in June 18th of 1937. He was a Canadian archaeologist, anthropologist and ethnohistorian. He studied in Yale University. In 1964, he graduated as a Doctor. He made classes in Northwestern University in 1965 and then got in the Anthropology Deparment of McGill University of Montreal, where he past the rest of his life. He died of Cancer in December 1st of 2006.
He wrote a lot of books about his research work in ethnohistory, archaeology history and archaeology theories. One of  the books that I like is "A History of Archaeological Thought". 
In this book, he wrote about the progress of the archaeology during our history and the different methods than the archaeologist used to hold.
He was named an Officer of the National Order of Quebec and Officer of the Order of Canada. He was a Royal Society of Canada member, won their Innis-Gérin Medal and the Prix Léon-Gérin of Quebec's Government.
I like him because he did an important contribution to the archaeology and his books are very interesting.
