I find it beautiful that Apple has finally came up with the new version of iPad. Hopefully, it’s going to be better and will bring new ways of making it more fun. So, there’s one day left and all the world is expecting the new iPad. Curiously, I’m ... Read more
One of the things I can do is drawing. Unfortunately, I never studied enough so I lost my touch. I can draw concepts, but I will not stick to drawing something ’till the end. I’m not as patient as I’d love to be. But that doesn’t mean I ... Read more
Steve Jobs turned 56 today. Along with all the best wishes, I’ll add a video of his 2005 Stanford University speech. Indeed, inspiring. ; ... Read more
When I’m really busy, I tend to forget things such as tasks. I used different calendars back when I was using Windows. Someone actually gave me a small cute widget for my desktop. It worked for a while, but then I turned on killing the notices. Pretty simple, ... Read more
The thing is, we all have objectives. And as Hugh McLeod pointed out, we all need our Evil Plans. The ultimate objective of our Evil Plans should be… well, living our lives. So, in order to do that, you have to follow a few steps. Here are mine: ... Read more
One of the things I don’t really get about movie companies is why do they still have to sell DVDs. I have an old LG LCD TV and it has this (hacked) capability of reading USB drives. I stopped using the DVD player two years ago. I just ... Read more
I’m a guy with tons of ideas. Some good, some stupid. Most of them are good. The thing is, it ain’t easy to translate them into real projects. Not when living in a vicious circle of “I need to work in order to have a decent life. To ... Read more
I’ve just found on Amazon a cool mini adjustable tripod + camera holder for iPhone with iBox touch pen. This is really neat, especially if you want to use your iPhone’s camera for more than just taking pictures once in a while. For instance, I want to record ... Read more
As I said before – and I’ll probably repeat it a lot -, I’m a fool for contemporary modern design. This includes furniture. I found six awesome contemporary modern sofas for the living room. Some are really cheap, some are not, but they look great and if you ... Read more
As I said in the previous article, I’m not a lamp guy. But I’d really love to have a contemporary floor lamp. Ideally, an arch floor lamp. I’m a fan of modernism, the 60′s and the 70′s, so modern-contemporary style is a part of me. So here are ... Read more
There are times when I find myself wanting stuff, including lamps. Cool lamps, such as these three practical and good looking ones. I’m not quite a lamp guy, especially because I have a neon lighter above my desk. But here’s the thing: though there’s no more space on ... Read more
I’ve bought my first belt back in 2003. Until then, I didn’t thought I need one. I never liked belts with huge logos, like D&Gs. They’re kitschy. Tommy Hilfiger belts have subtle branding, to avoid being considered a snob. Plus, the casual ones are brilliant, it’s exactly what ... Read more
For many years, I just used my pockets. Then, I found wallets. Way better. Here’s a Tommy Hilfiger Oxford Slim Passcase, an elegant casual wallet in the purt Tommy style. A simple, black leather wallet. The good thing: it’s big enough to be a home for your change ... Read more
Among the stuff I ordered lately, this book is on top of my favourites. Hugh MacLoed’s Evil Plans: Having Fun on the Road to World Domination is what I expect to be in my hands in the next few weeks. Hopefully, I’ll have it by March 1st. I ... Read more
Great idea, great execution. The ad for WWF, “We are all connected”, is a 60 seconds video created by Ogilvy & Mather Mexico. ... Read more
One of the reasons I don’t use notebooks is because I already have one, it’s called a MacBook. Still, lately, I found using a notebook really useful. Especially if I have a coat with a large inside pocket. That’s why I think I’ll buy a Moleskine. Looks preciously ... Read more
One of the few stuff I love is the new MacBook Air 13 inch. The new generation MacBook Air looks fantastically good and, besides everything else, it works like a charm. The flashdrive replacing the old HDD is beautiful considering my current MacBook Air sounds like a plane ... Read more
Once upon a time, the Internet was an international network connecting universities. Then, it was used to connect other institutions. Finally, it hit homes and everything changed. I found this January 1994 recording from NBC’s Today Show over at Swiss Miss and it suddenly striked me: do you ... Read more
There’s a saying: “History repeats”. It’s kinda true. When it comes to apps, games and web, it appears user behaviour is cyclic and evolution seems obsolete. I know it sounds exaggerated, it might be, but some parts of the evolution actually become obsolete when you take a look ... Read more
I have a thing for the 70′s and the bright colours and way of life in USA. Reading tons of content about that, I can understand some of the movements in nowadays US economy. “Study the history to find out what the future will look like” is not ... Read more
This is a reply to David Aaker’s article on online advertising effectiveness. Prophet’s VC gives TED’s Chris Anderson a point when the latter talks about how ineffective this medium is. I say they’re both wrong. I’m afraid Chris Anderson is wrong. Of course an hour of an internet ... Read more
My God, Facebook is great! I never understood exactly why, but it seems the social network has become the new Google-killer and, here they come, the horsemen of internet giant’s fall, hitting with their opinions. Now, why would they think that? I’m not a Facebook heavy user, but ... Read more
You probably remember the hell of a scandal between Apple and Adobe. So you probably know about Steve Jobs’ letter, “thoughts on Flash”, which became viral. If not, I have to remind you that Jobs tried to explain why Apple will not adopt Flash on iPhones – or ... Read more
It seems nearly impossible to believe someone at AdAge would ever make a mistake. Well, it seems it is possible and, damn!, it seems huge mistakes can happen. Believe it or not, it’s a copy/paste error. Which means… well, it means someone forgot to double-check the numbers. We’re ... Read more
