What if you're not who everyone thinks you are?

It's weird seeing at yourself and realizing you're not sure if you're who you've always thought yourself to be. I wrote this on a whim and thought twice before submitting it, as it's more personal than my usual posts. Then I remembered nobody reads this anyway, so it…

Bluetooth Possibilities

This came up in a forum and it was suggested I put it in the blog (lately the forums seem to be the main source of entries in the blog, I'm afraid). And it comments on the possibilities, yet unrealized, that could be there for bluetooth. This is…

Problems Sync'ing Palm with Mac's Mail.app and Entourage

As a mac user I'm already used to the sad fact that we're second whenever programs, features and innovations are decided and misguided companies still believe we're a Pain in the Ass when it comes to support us (funnily, a lot of companies exist today because of innovations…

El Pasaporte Español para un Repatriado: Ineptitud Absoluta

A punto de cumplir un año de empezar el proceso de obtener el pasaporte español en México me encuentro, una vez mas, dando círculos y vueltas sin dirección. Los procedimientos y burocracia involucradas son tan increíbles y bizarros que difícilmente podrían explicarse fácilmente. Los requisitos cambian y los…

Sony Clie UX50 - Hits, Misses and Wishlist

After getting the brand new UX50, and before it's made obsolete by Sony's weekly batch of new models, I thought I'd write a list of the things I like, dislike and would like in the new little thingy. It turned out they were quite a few but, truthfully.…

Futurisms - Waste of time

Some of the better pieces I write are not usually initially thought as rants or rambles and more as a normal reply to a message. In my current work I have been blessed with several peers (and one in particular) that are constantly feeding my too-easy-to-trigger rant-buttons. Sometimes…

GPS Future on OSX - Options

Today, for the N th time the topic in MacSlash has switched to GPS programs in OSX (or the lack thereof). For some weird reason I decided to reply to a post there and my comment ended up covering several things of the GPS status and future on…

Public Response to Haxial's SPL G5 Benchmark Challenge Posting

SPL has posted a Soapbox entry in his website in Haxial about the benchmarks Apple is using to tout the G5 as the "fastest desktop computer in the world" and this simple article has generated a flurry of messages and flames completely out of proportion. I post here…

Short Rant

I have no idea if I read this somewhere or I made it myself. I do like it, tho: "If I were a U.S. citizen I'd rather have a president that gets a hard-on from women -tastes aside- than from nuclear missiles thrown to third-world countries". I may…

Sacando el Pasaporte Español

De acuerdo a todos los consejos de mis amigos, lo mejor que puedo hacer antes de viajar a España es sacar mi nacionalidad Española desde México, para aprovechar las ventajas y facilidades que la madre patria puede darme para re-emigrar . Esto suena muy simple y fácil, pero...…

¿Qué importa realmente en la vida?

La gente busca e intenta tomar las decisiones correctas en los momentos que considera importantes en su vida, considera la universidad a la que va, la edad correcta de casarse, el vecindario en el que va a vivir, el lugar donde quiere trabajar. Todo esto es importante, si,…

El Dilema

Hace unos 10 meses decidí que había llegado el tiempo de regresar a mi país, despues de pasar 15 años en México. Esta decisión llegó un poco de la nada, sin tener que ver con ningún tipo de problema. Uno de esos momentos en la vida en los…

¿Burocracia? ¿Cuál?

Fabuloso. Acaban de robarme mi móvil celular. No se dónde, no se quién, no se cuando, pero acabo de darme cuenta. Llame a mi número y contestaron, pero al explicar quien era me colgaron. Así que por supuesto fui a cancelar el número. En la compañía celular me…

Honesty? Where can you get that?

I just lost my celphone. I'm guessing I left it somewhere. When I realized I called the number and I had it answered and when I identified myself whoever had the phone hung up on me. Now the phone is off. I just called the celphone company and…

New Apple Music Store - Music for the Masses or DRM hell?

A lot of noise has been made on Apple's New Music Store. A faction of people cry as soon as they see the DRM acronym in its blurb, while for others -the majority- the whole idea seems to be a godsend. What is it? For years now the…

¿Otro Blog? ¿Para qué?

Mucha gente (ninguna de la cual entra a este lugar, ya que nadie lo conoce) debe haber oído hablar de los "blogs" que existen en Internet y se preguntará ¿qué es un blog? y por lo tanto se preocupará poco por si surge uno nuevo o no. Otro…
