Hi! I’m Paulo Ribeiro and this is my personal notebook for web, design, surf and life in Portugal.

Um dia gostava de fazer uma curta espectacular sobre surf, com esta música como banda sonora. A original, claro, do Bobby Hebb. Mas a performance de James Brown neste vídeo é insuperável.

One day I would like to make a wonderful short film about surf, with this music as soundtrack. The original from Bobby Hebb, naturally. But men, this performance from James Brown is amazing!
Já está a ganhar forma.
Isto de só trabalhar de 15 em 15 dias…
Há já algum tempo que o pessoal – inspirado pelos vários blogs que por aí andam – tem a ideia de construir a sua própria prancha de surf. E se é verdade que o nível de surf (de alguns) ainda deixa muito a desejar, não iria ser isso a opor-se à vontade de um homem! Muito menos de dois.
Cientes que a primeira tentativa é mais virada para a aprendizagem do que outra coisa, optámos por algo mais “simples”, e por isso a primeira experiência vai ser uma alaia. E para podermos estar à vontade, escolhemos a madeira menos indicada para isso, mas… a mais barata. Pinho.
A primeira sessão já foi e para já sabemos que nos faltam ferramentas e a madeira mais adequada (mais grossa, mais resistente e com menos nós).
Mas o churrasco correu 5 estrelas!!
It’s been a while since we’ve been wanting to get our hands dirty and try to make a surfboard. After all it’s hard not to, after seeing all these fantastic blogs out there, with such great stuff.
So, we’ve started with an alaia. It’s simpler.
And we’ve started cheap… with Pine Wood. Yes, we know it’s not the best wood to do it, and it should be thicker and with less knots, but hey… it’s our first!
The first working session went well. The barbecue went fantastic!!
some of the most interesting people i know,
don’t know what do to with their lives.

Three videos, nothing more.
I don’t even know what they have in common, I just like them.

Fantastic stand up comedian that I’ve just found out. There’s a lot more on youtube, and there’s a movie coming. Died at the age of 32.

Antes do SLB… uma homenagem ao Frederico Gil.
Um jogo bem emocionante, numa final inesperada frente ao Albert Montañes, no Estoril Open. Muitos parabéns.

Fantastic video about the surf in Madeira, and the lost wave at Jardim do Mar, considered by Surfer Magazine to be the best big wave point break in the world

Acabámos de lançar um novo site para o Museu de Ciência da Universidade de Lisboa, que celebra 25 anos no dia 8 de Maio. O site ainda está na primeira fase, mais desenvolvimentos estão para vir, mas já representa uma grande mudança.
Em www.mc.ul.pt e no Facebook também.

I’ve just finished this new website for the Science Museum that celebrates his 25th anniversary this year. Portuguese version only… for now.
Check it out on www.mc.ul.pt and on Facebook.
My macbook shutdowns every time I connect to the internet with my huawei k3765 USB stick. It says it needs to restart.
Any ideas? (besides not connecting it…)
The other day I’ve just went crazy and started shooting rocks.
You can check the all craziness in here.
I’ve just got back from a 5 days vacations to relax, catch some sun and a couple of waves.
Right on the first day our car broke down, just 3 km from the destination. It was midnight so we just stood there and waited for the morning to come.
Surprisingly… in the morning the car still didn’t work, but our mad mechanical skills sorted the problem out (a disconnected wire somewhere!!) and we were off to catch some hugely small waves. All day.
At the end of the day we saw Benfica loose to Liverpool… bastards.
Here are the photos from day one…
