Águas de Março
Antonio Carlos Jobim
É pau, é pedra,
é o fim do caminho
É um resto de toco,
é um pouco sozinho
É um caco de vidro,
é a vida, é o sol
É a noite, é a morte,
é um laço, é o anzol
É peroba do campo,
é o nó da madeira
Caingá, candeia,
é o Matita Pereira
É madeira de vento,
tombo da ribanceira
É o mistério profundo,
é o queira ou não queira
É o vento ventando,
é o fim da ladeira
É a viga, é o vão,
festa da cumeeira
É a chuva chovendo,
é conversa ribeira
Das águas de março,
é o fim da canseira
É o pé, é o chão,
é a marcha estradeira
Passarinho na mão,
pedra de atiradeira
É uma ave no céu,
é uma ave no chão
É um regato, é uma fonte,
é um pedaço de pão
É o fundo do poço,
é o fim do caminho
No rosto o desgosto,
é um pouco sozinho
É um estrepe, é um prego,
é uma conta, é um conto
É uma ponta, é um ponto,
é um pingo pingando
É um peixe, é um gesto,
é uma prata brilhando
É a luz da manhã,
é o tijolo chegando
É a lenha, é o dia,
é o fim da picada
É a garrafa de cana,
o estilhaço na estrada
É o projeto da casa,
é o corpo na cama
É o carro enguiçado,
é a lama, é a lama
É um passo, é uma ponte,
é um sapo, é uma rã
É um resto de mato,
na luz da manhã
São as águas de março
fechando o verão
É a promessa de vida
no teu coração
É uma cobra, é um pau,
é João, é José
É um espinho na mão,
é um corte no pé
É um passo, é uma ponte,
é um sapo, é uma rã
É um belo horizonte,
é uma febre terçã
São as águas de março
fechando o verão
É a promessa de vida
no teu coração
É pau, é pedra,
é o fim do caminho
É um resto de toco,
é um pouco sozinho
É um caco de vidro,
é a vida, é o sol
É a noite, é a morte,
é um laço, é o anzol
É peroba do campo,

While scanning digg.com this morning I came across this post. Vey interesting. I guess even Fr. Roderick could be interested.

Windows expert to Redmond: Buh-bye
Well, there's no much to comment about. Read the whole story and be sure to take a look to the two parts of his 'migration'.

February 07, 2007 (Computerworld) -- Editor's Note: This is the third installment of a series in which longtime Windows expert Scot Finnie gives the Mac a three-month trial as his primary machine for work and home use. Be sure not to miss Part 1 and Part 2 of the series.
Bye-bye Windows! My three-month Macintosh trial has ended, but my permanent gig with the Mac is just getting started. Apple's MacBook Pro and Mac OS X are now my computer and operating system of choice.
If you give the Mac three months, as I did, you won't go back either. The hardest part is paying for it -- everything after that gets easier and easier. Perhaps fittingly, it took me the full three-month trial period to pay off my expensive MacBook Pro. But the darn thing is worth every penny.

[reading the thoughts]
I have been reading Jobs' letter for almost one hour, trying to understand what exactly is he trying to point out. Why is he advocating for the artist and the consumers and why it had to be Apple the first to open the debate in an International level.
Most of the people who blog or read blog are familiar with podcast and Adam Curry. You may remember that at certain point in 2005 (around my birthday if I remember well) Adam went 100% podsafe. By doing this he "pulled" the whole community to embrace this concept and only play music that has been explicitly licensed to be played in a podcast or with no distribution limits.
A few months ago the Podsafe Music Network started to allow Artists to sell their songs in clean MP3 files (no DRM protection). Ultimately this is the idea in Jobs' mind and it already exists. But I think that the problem he is pointing out is clearly how the "Big Four" see the Digital Market.
Last year, Doug Morris called all iPod owners thieves (be sure to also read the Billboard Article). The only real reaction I witnessed was from Mark Yoshimoto Nemkof. And even worst, I have so many legally bought CD in my room that I have to put them on the floor or just put the CD Boxes in the trash and stock my CDs in cases and I didn't see any kind of apology from this "very important CEO" that called one of the most important sources of revenue of UMG thieves.
Today Jobs is making a call to bring back things to the table. He has a special way to point things out (many even fear this ability - cf. RDF) and I think he has stressed what it had to be stressed. Some months ago the French Parliament was trying to pass a law to force all online music stores to ensure the interoperability of all the music bought from those stores. For the public it was very clear that they were aiming the iTMS. The strange thing is that the whole debate seems to be over or forgotten... not a single journalist is writing anymore on the subject nor the French government is trying to pass the law. What happened there? The only thing I can guess is that Apple answered in the same way Jobs closes his letter.
I invite you to read Steve Jobs' "Thoughts On Music" and make your own opinion on the subject, because I think that we are all more or less involved.
After all it is you and me who are buying Music, Computers and iPods.
"Much of the concern over DRM systems has arisen in European countries. Perhaps those unhappy with the current situation should redirect their energies towards persuading the music companies to sell their music DRM-free. For Europeans, two and a half of the big four music companies are located right in their backyard. The largest, Universal, is 100% owned by Vivendi, a French company. EMI is a British company, and Sony BMG is 50% owned by Bertelsmann, a German company. Convincing them to license their music to Apple and others DRM-free will create a truly interoperable music marketplace. Apple will embrace this wholeheartedly."
