How bureaucracy produces silence whether it means to or not. The following is a letter I planned to send to CMCL grad students to maybe light a fire under us. In consultation with some smart friends, I’ve chosen other tactics ( check out the Facebook event. But I do think what I had to say might still be interesting. This site tak...

It’s super rough, but I wanted to add a section of suggested readings for various topics. Right now, it’s just a few suggested readings on semiotics, but I’ll add more as I feel the need to organize my readings. Http:/ www.jrnguyen.com/bibliographies/.

Nano's conquering the world: October 2014
http://nanocarpediem.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Nano's conquering the world. The Brazilian guy who took the road less travelled by. Tuesday, 14 October 2014. New chapter in life: Sweden. After two weeks already living in Lund, Sweden. And this time I think there's no return), I finally found some time to sit down and speak out why that happened, because people are still asking me: Nano, WHY? My situation in Poland deteriorated and I felt a bit lost and without perspectives (Not entering in details here). Better public social benefits. I now feel like ...

Nano's conquering the world: June 2015

Nano's conquering the world. The Brazilian guy who took the road less travelled by. Tuesday, 23 June 2015. Wherever I may roam. This is what I have to say after visiting my home town after. Nearly 8 years living abroad and after I traveled more than 30 countries. It's not a direct attack to Salvador, nor Brazil. It could be any city or town which is no longer good to live according to one's view. This post portraits Brazil negatively though. And the expenditure was twice as much as foreseen for some of t...

Nano's conquering the world. The Brazilian guy who took the road less travelled by. Wednesday, 15 January 2014. Portugal and a bit of Spain. A country like Portugal may be very pleasant for relaxation and gastronomical purposes! Just pick a nice restaurant combined with a nice view to the Atlantic ocean and you'll get a nice bliss. I myself like the codfish prepared in different ways, octopus stew and pastel de Belem. Which is some sort of cream pie. Google for it. :). Porto is a very beautiful city with...

Nano's conquering the world. The Brazilian guy who took the road less travelled by. Friday, 28 November 2014. My first post about my emigration to Sweden was after two weeks of my arrival. Now, I'm a writing a second post having now stayed 2 months here in total. Some Polish friends have asked me already how it's like to live in Sweden and if I wouldn't like to come back to Poland instead. The salaries here are much higher than in eastern European countries, especially if working as an IT freelancer....
