In some aspects his music hasn´t aged very well, but he was a pioneer, and many of his songs will remain fresh forever. My personal favourite: chase!

It was a year ago that I started nan (not a nerd), so I think it is time to say:

-Thank you, people! for reading the articles and leaving your comments and opinions.

-Thank you, Stephie! for proofreading all the articles and having so much patience

-Thank you, Angel! for your commitment, your efforts and your suggestions to improve the site.

-Thank you, Carlos! for letting me translate your articles, and for the many insights to come!

-Thank you, Ana! I still have to convince you to send me some more stuff, but the articles you sent were all great, hehe

-And again, thank you, people!

During this month I´ll spend quite some time doing maintenance on the whole envelooponline.com site; I would like to change my personal page´s layout so that it matches the look of the magazine. I have also recently added a board on which I´ll be working so that it may serve as a meeting point for all the people around nan. Talking of that, another upcoming change is a page explaining all the w´s (what, why, who, where) on the magazine, and maybe some changes in the way the sections are linked from within the main page. All in all, I´ll do my best to keep improving, and I hope that you like the results!
