Is digital overpass the real life?
Funny how this goes. A few years ago, let’s say 2. I was the only one geek enough in my home to be almost every time at a laptop or on my iPhone, making the data flow.Today, I’m at my couch with the laptop on my knees, but my wife is at the living room with hers and my daughter is at her room with a computer as well. Amazing! This keeps me thinking: Is real life becoming more and more...
Let's Work!
Do you see all this mess above? It’s a photo of my 18th month year old baby girl having a blast on our living room. Just playing without care about the fuss and mess around her. She has 18 months old. She doesn’t know what mess, confusion or cleaning up means.And that’s ok. And seeing this photo I need to say, this is the time of her life. And mine! Seeing this photo also...

They don’t work with Macs and don’t have special configurations for Macintosh.This could demand my re-migraton to Microsoft eco-system all over again, right?Actually, NO!Why? Because, the problem was not about Exchange configurations. It...

Openess
Today I was at a meeting with someone that mentioned some things about himself. Things about who he was. That was interesting. We’re not friendly, just acquaintance but this was brought by himself. This caught me way off guard. Normally, people protect themselves through layers of coldness and privacy. This man just opened himself to us. Told us what he liked and didn’t liked. Who he...

Posterous to Blog
This is great. I’m very happy with Posterous as a tool to blog and spread to my social networks. Why? Because it’s so very simple.If you scan my previous articles before a week a go or later my posting articles were very irregular. Sometimes I posted twice on a day, sometimes it would pass more than a week or two. One reason is the lack of time, but more importantly, it’s the...

Those few keynotes presented by Phillip Schiller was lacking the magic and the brilliant...

Twitter at Conferences? No, thank you...
Remember when I wrote about the Upload 2.0 event? Remember what I said about having a twitter wall displaying to the entire crowd? And I was talking about a few hundred people. Imagine to thousands.It’s funny to read this Chris Pirillo article (I know it’s an “old” article but I’m cleaning my inbox and I’m late with it) precisely about having twitter on a...

The rush right now is to integrate the biggest number of social platforms and still be relevant and publish the people status updates on a seamless and friendly way.
