    Viendo que la mayoria de mis tres lectores son hispanohablantes y aprovechando que el 2008 acaba de empezar e igual no se nota he decidido que ya era hora de escribir en castellano un poquito por aquello de no perder la costumbre y acabar escribiendo frases de tres o cuatro líneas sin una maldita coma.…

    “Usable is not what feels like common sense, but what it is used more frequently and with a higher rate of success.” I’ve been hearing this mantra a lot when I am around fellow designers. I have even said it myself a few times, in front of customers as well. But, is it a good…

    note: I am going to be talking about an article from El Pais. It is written in spanish, so bear with me. And I don’t commune with the term Web 3.0 myself, but since that is the terminology used in the article you are stuck with it. Everynow and then some established media outfit needs…

    Mcinksey recently published its 2007 report on high school systems throughout the world. I came by this report at Ewan McIntosh’s blog. He is this funny scot who gave a very interesting chat on how education should be different for the tech-enabled noobs (sorry, I meant youngsters) at last year’s reboot. I didn’t attend the…

    One of the reasons anyone sets up a website with a blog (or else) is to selfpromote whatever puts him on top of the rest of wasteful humanity. It is a pulpit where you brag and brag continously about how cool you are, what cool things you just have bought and which cool travels you…

    anyways. chose powazek’s awesome depo clean theme to make it feel more like a reboot and since I have been writing elsewhere regularly I thought “what the hell, I might as well fake it again and make it look like a care”. Oh, and the second day of Fundamentos Web was kind of boring. And…

    The aforementioned conference came and went. But certainly not without noise. Most of this events can fall into several categories: great, overpriced, well-balanced, horrible, perfectly organized, time-waster, etc… From this side of the things it was certainly well worth the admission price and the time spent, even with all the rain that fell upon our…

    Next tuesday October 3rd the largest web-oriented conference in Spain will begin. It will be the second edition of Fundamentos Web, after last year’s apparently successful start. It is weird that an event as big as this happens in a ‘smallish’ place such as Oviedo, but, at the same time, fitting, knowing how chaotic and…

    Tonight is the first white night for Madrid. The name comes from those nights that aren’t nights. Either up north or down south during summer and winter respectively if you go far enough light floods Earth 24/7. Or, alternatively, from those people who spend all the night out on the streets, with their lives illuminated…
