A sea of clouds

In higschool our Art teacher made an experimental subject  for a project "memes and clasic art", the objetive was a more friendly aproach to  classic paintings and hints to recognice their author by their technique. It resulted in  very sacrilegius and humorous memes, mines where simplistics tho. Years after that ,and mostly due work experiences , I could experience a  scene similar to the  paint but in real life twice!. The paint  is Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (1818 )by Caspar David Friedrich, and the first time I impersonate the paint was in the Costanera Center half year before the "Sky Costanera" was open for public;  to reach there you needed take two elevators  and one day , while working in the parking , he invited us for a ride, it was winter and we  where above the clouds an amazing view !!. The second time I had to travel to Valdivia very fast for work , it was my very first flight, and  a while after the launch and the turbulence , we could see the "Sea of clouds" , a wonderful view .

Bluetooth transmitter

This little  gadget allows to link two devices by bluetooth, it's range depend but 2-3 meters its the regular. The  earliest models were for vehicles, with a audio port for a double ended jack cable, the same port for regular headphones. There are two reasons for what this is my faborite device : In higschool (eleven years ago) a good friend of mine replicate the concept and made it  smaller with old parts of other devices , in that time Bluetooth headphones were expensives , but with the  transmitter all regular headphones  were turn in bluetooth ones,  all  by recycling parts of broken devices .  The second reason is that I love the traditional headphones, yes they have cable but if they ever broke , it can be fixed by welding spare parts (nine of ten times), in the other hand, most of the bluetooth ones fall easy and need to be charged constantly, plus, you can buy a transmitter for $2500(good pretty and cheap)

"Waiting to be born "(Pancho Puelma)

 I remember that before learning how to read properly  I look trough books especially for the ones with illustrations,  and among them we had an encyclopedia  with a chapter of  minerals and plants, it was my favorite that was the begining I think . Later as teenager, I though that being a lawyer would be a good choice, but that idea didn't last a month, afther watched in tv or read in the newspaper  I concluded  that the judicial system and the laws  only work on paper,  in general are inefficient and permissive. I returned to the natural sciences , but mining activity pollutes the environment (copper its the biggest exportation in our country);  Antumapu  had the university careers that where of my interest, but  considering the controversy of the forestry companies,  just Agronomy and RRR where left. Since the first one had lots of fieldwork and assist in food production it was the winner.

It's been great for the most part, I've just had to work in a team with obnoxious people among them ,  but you get used to that. I can't wait to graduate, but I will definitely need a little more experience and money to become a consultant on my own.

Bug catcher!

Trips from Antumapu.

 I'm Randy , born and raised in Santiago, but due my dad's work we had to live in different places inside the city, currently in La Florida but sooner or later we will move to the south of the country  for my work and for my parents health , the air in the city is too polluted. I'm the older of three , my sister studies  radiology (X-rays ) and my brother is in higschool. 

Due personal issues I quit the University in 2018, and later returned two years ago, so currently I'm in like 8-9 semester. In my free time I help some friend with  their tesis, thanks to that I started working in a laboratory in mid January , they work with  phitosanitary pest (aka bugs); twice per week I go around the campus catching bugs for the lab , like Pokemon Go but worst they are really tiny!!.
