A great article from Mashable.com on how the Impossible Project is trying to bring back Instant Photography –here’s the kicker– without Polaroid. I’ll leave you with the perfectly-titled piece: The Impossible Dream: Resurrecting Instant Photos Without Polaroid.
Time flies when you’re having fun.
17 years. That’s how long I’ve been working in the Hispanic Market. When I think about it, I can’t avoid paralleling that time with the life of my kids: Aldo (13), Andrés (11), Isabela and Natalia (both 8). Because when you have kids, you truly see time passing by: From 0 to 13 in 60 … Continue reading
Do you have a minute to spare? Lucky you.
This year we lost an hour the night of March 11 while we were asleep. But if we consider that we gained an extra day on February 29, we are in the positive column. Right? Not really. We all know that there are not enough hours in the day. That we are running out of … Continue reading
Speak less. Listen more.
It wasn’t by choice. I had a throat procedure done earlier this week that doesn’t allow me to talk or swallow anything without remembering my Doctor’s entire direct ancestry. But the silver lining is that I feel great appreciating everything that surrounds me while I can’t say a word. Even the silence. As I was … Continue reading
Who watches the Super Bowl? Old Geezers, I guess.
After watching the Giants crush the New England fans dreams (again) on February 5, there are some thoughts that I’d like to present to you about this year’s commercials. In reality I don’t want to talk about the ideas, creativity or freshness. That’s another whole conversation (My favorite was Audi’s Vampire Party, by the way). Something … Continue reading

Boy, it made me look! Check it out here.
How Freemium can save the World.
I stumbled upon this article on Mashable.com and couldn’t resist posting it here. What a great approach from Atlassian. And I’m sure its customers are even more motivated to increase their business. Let me know what you think. How One Software Company Turned Freemium into Philanthropy
The latest blog entry: The Blog is Dead.
Have you heard about this before? Well, now I know who did it. But first, let me tell you that starting a blog is like buying a boat. The happiest two days for boat owners are when they get it, and then when they sell it. Like a boat, a blog is a big responsibility. … Continue reading
It’s a long way to the top (if you wanna rock’n roll).
How long? 38 years to be exact. Because back in 1973, when AC/DC was officially formed, I’m sure they didn’t think that they will have a #1 album in 2010. After almost 40 years, rock bands are supposed to be retiring, joining forces with non-profit organizations, and possibly starring in their own B-list Reality Show. … Continue reading
Idiocracy: The Reality Show.
Did you watch the Mike Judge movie? I liked the concept behind it more that the actual film. It talks about how the future will be for us. Where media and technology have contributed to the Dumbing-Down of the human race. What? Do you think this is too extreme? Take a look around and you’ll … Continue reading
Where's Aldo?
