The Devil's Excrement

The Devil's Excrement
Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

Caracas from above
A friend sent me this 3D visualization of the satellatite images of Caracas which is pretty neat, so I thought I would share it. For those that have never been here, on the right you have the valley of Caracas, 1000 meters (3,000 feet) above sea level. In between you have the majetic Avila mountain of the Cordillera de la Costa and then you have the coastal area, you can even see the international airport on the left by the sea.
