What is internet 2.0 ?

“Everybody saying anything, to nobody in particular, nothing meaningful being said (except sometimes), with nobody particularly listening".

"Todo el mundo diciendo nada, a nadie en particular, nada significativo se dice (con excepciones), con nadie en particular escuchando"

Tazón con llave. LockCup

Los que trabajan en una oficina, en un puesto fijo, generalmente tienen un tazón para su dosis diaria de café, así como Wally de Dilbert. ¿Alguien te usa el tazón ? ... ya está la solución: Lockcup. Es una de esas inventos del tipo "como no se me ocurrió a mí".

Israel Kamakawiwoʻole

Guau!!!! Luego de varios meses, ahora iniciaré nuevamente la actividad de blogs... aún no defino un tema así que será variopinto, y en español porque me di cuenta que me falta mucho para escribir fluidamente en inglés... ni siquiera lo hago bien en español ...

Escuchando el programa Edición Limitada, en la sección musica del mundo de Marcos Silva, encontré interesante la música de Israel Kamakawiwoʻole.

La pueden bajar en el url http://www.box.net/public/vpgb8ccef3

Gmail: A Behind the Scenes Video

Google is making a video clip to show how an email message travels around the world where we can participate. The rules are simple:

* Keep it under 10 seconds
* Make sure the M-velope is clearly visible and make sure it enters from the left of the screen and exits from the right
* Don't worry about audio, we'll put music over the final video

You have to submit your clip on you tube by August 13th, 2007 to be considered for the final collaborative video.

I really think that this is a way to make user load videos on you tube (those who haven't load).

Robin Guthrie in Chile (Unfortunately i was in the worst show: La Batuta)


As a Cocteau Twins fan, i went to Robin Guthrie's concerts in Santiago (Chile). Robin played 3 concerts. Unfortunately i went to the worst of them. It's not about robin's playing, but the place: La Batuta.


The was not a good show. Many imperfections from the tech people, the movie doesn't look quite well in the bedsheet, Robin interrupted a song in the middle of it, told something about the light to the person who was in charge, something about the sound, every body was smoking as they couldn't do it in the rest of their lives, very very annoying place.. and you were not comfortable with it ... it shows ..and at the end.. the movie was over and Robin still playing .. when stop playing, left your guitar, make a expression like "sorry for this..", and went away .. everybody ask: this is it? it's over?, not a word to the audience like "thanks for coming" or " sorry about the imperfections", nothing ..I was a little disappointed.

Robin Guthrie en Chile ... (lamentablemente fui a verlo a la Batuta )


Como buen fanático de Cocteau Twins, fui a ver a Robin Guthrie cuando vino a Chile. Estuvo en 3 presentaciones. Lamentablemente fuí a la peor de todas. No se trata de la calidad de Robin, sino mas bien el lugar: "La Batuta". La presentación fue tibia .. corta sin duda, pero llena de problemas técnicos, la presentación no se veía al 100%, Robin se notaba molesto.


Además, el interlocutor instruyó específicamente que no sacaran fotos con flash, pero como nuestra "indiosincrasia" es como es, igual sacaban fotos con flash, lo que se acumulaba a todos los problemas.
Al finalizar el concierto, Robin se fue .. no dijo una sola palabra a los fans, de saludo ni despedida, no firmó autógrafos, ni se sacó fotos ... que era lo que esperaba ..
La verdad, me fui bastante desilusionado del concierto. Leyendo otros Blogs, me di cuenta que fue solamente en la Batuta. La presentación en Valparaíso (hermosa ciudad), Robin conversó con los fans, tuvo interacción, firmó discos .. que lástima no haber ido a ese concierto ..
Por cierto, la entrada para el concierto en la Batuta era la más cara .... me siento estafado por la Batuta ...
Mal local ...
