Keeping it up, here's week # 3 picks!
A website I was trying: Print Friendly. It's very basic but very useful tool for when you find an article and needs to print it. Many news websites are extremely print unfriendly and this tool will solve that!
I've read this interesting paper that collects evidence on how music can help us being productive. Intuitively, that's a strategy I've been using since high school. Almost always I had background music while studying, especially exact sciences. You can read it here.

Buenos Aires Grill Restaurant in Barcelona is by far my best Argentinean dining experience outside Argentina. The stakes were amazing and cooked as requested (sounds simple but very difficult in Europe). Also the wine selection, provoleta, dulce de leche...the whole package was perfect. Staff is friendly and professional (most, if not all, are Argentinian themselves ). It's not cheap, but in a city with overpriced tapas, this is a whole new level and worth it.
If you haven’t watched Stranger Things on Netflix yet, you really should.
I finished all the 8 episodes in less than 2 days and was completely addicted to the show by the end of it. The storytelling is perfect, there's an addictive mystery and the storylines are concise, inter-related and interesting. And above it all, the show is full of nostalgia as it takes place in 1983. Therefore there are hundreds of 1980's pop culture references. To name a few: Aliens (1986), Jaws (1975) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980). But mostly, the show is a mix of The Goonies (1985) with ET (1982) and Signs (2002). The directing and writing mix Stephen King and Steven Spielberg in an original and entertaining way. I can't imagine they can top it or even maintain it with season 2. But hope dies last...
New single I am listening is the mandatory new Metallica song: Hardwired. The first track from their long-awaited 10th studio album, "Hardwired … to Self-Destruct", due in November. I don't care for anything they have put out in the last 25 years and I don't think I will be head over hills for this album. But, Metallica's recent attempts to bring new music have been so below average that this new song sounds quite OK (albeit badly mixed).
