I’m a big fan of the Blue Note music label for their ludicrously large jazz catalogue, but I’m also a fan of their album art (I even have a Charlie Parker poster in my room).

So some dude has gone and redesigned a bunch of classic Wu-Tang Clan albums in the style of Blue Note cover art. I wish some of these were available as prints.

Neverhnnnnngmore!

My family and I lived in Mexico when I was young (I was actually born there) and one of the dishes my family acquired from our time there were these black cannelloni full of black stuff. It was vaguely disconcerting at first but I never really gave it a second thought and that shit was good.

Move forward a few (many) years later when I run into this article and I think “Man, who would eat that crap, it looks disgusting.” Turns out I would, except when I ate it it was in a cannelloni and covered in delicious Béchamel sauce.

I always knew it for its Mexican name: Huitlacoche, which means “raven shit”. The aim of this post is to point out that I have, at various points in my life, eaten something called raven shit and liked it.

One of the pictures I took during my trip to Salt Lake City last year has made it to Minube’s homepage as picture of the day.

When I first started working for nvivo, the nice guys from Minube shared half of their office with us. So, even though the picture is not entirely without merit, it’s not exactly an impartial decision.

Full set here.

How's it hangin'?

I keep my dick hanging out of my pants
So I can point out what I want
I was chosen by standard procedures
And I’ll assure you I don’t mind

I’m the head over small buissness
Employing old male friends of my kind
They keep their dick hanging out of their pants
So they can point out what they want

I keep my dick hanging out of my
Nej, vi stoppar där

The Knife is cool and everything, but I hate having this dumb-ass song stuck in my head.

Djokovic > Federer

In Federer’s hometown no less.

I’ve been a big fan of Novak Djokovic since Wimbledon 2007. Even though he retired in semifinals when he had a chance of beating Rafa Nadal, the game that got him there was an eye-opener for me. He played and beat Marcos Baghdatis by 7-6, 7-6, 6-7, 4-6, 7-5 in a five hour game. For those of you that don’t know much about tennis, that’s a very long game and since I was living in England at the time and freelancing from home I got to see it in it’s entirety.

The game was incredibly exciting with Djokovic winning the first two sets, then Baghdatis catching up and tying the game and Djokovic just managing to get the break and taking the last set. It was a physically intense game but more importantly, it was a mentally intense game for both players. Being down 2-0 in a best to 3 and tying the game to two is very hard because, as a player, not only do you have to lift your own morale and convince yourself that you can win, but you must somehow do it when your opponent is in the proverbial zone. The reverse is worse though, when you’re comfortably winning a game and your opponent manages to catch up. For your opponent, tying the game is a huge morale boost while you get that i-can’t-believe-i’m-going-to-loose feeling and every silly mistake makes you doubt yourself. Baghdatis managed the first feat and Djokovic managed to overcome the second one.

This game showed me what made these two players different from themselves and from all the other players in the lower rankings: mental strength. At the end of the day, the game was more about who could keep it together than it was about their technical ability. To me, it demonstrated what it took to be a high-ranking professional tennis player, and I think it applies to more that just tennis or any sport for that matter.

I was diagnosed with ADD when I was younger (even writing something as trivial as this blog post requires a huge effort from my part) and that game made me realize that if I was to ever accomplish anything significant I would have to find a way acquire that mental strength. As odd as it sounds, that’s what I got out of that tennis game and that’s why that game is so significant to me. Djokovic is a constant reminder of my goal and what I want to achieve.

Fuck.

The company I work for had a small appearance in a local magazine in an article about spanish startups focusing on people’s hobbies (e.g.: Motorcycles, t-shirts, live music, photography, etc).

I’m the guy on the right, and from now on a certified celebrity. VIP lounges here I come!

Spaceballs has so many good scenes it’s hard to make a “best of” selection of scenes which isn’t just the whole movie from beginning to end. Still, this is one of the scenes I remember the most from the movie.

I have to watch this movie again…the tape we had was in Spanish (oh, the horror, Spanish dubbing and…VHS!).

Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about that. Now that I think of it, I haven’t seen the full movie in english. The Pirate Bay here I come!

The perfect machine

I was sitting at my computer when I had this sudden urge to pee, so I got up and went to the bathroom. By the time I got to the bathroom I’d forgotten why I’d gotten up in the first place, so I decided to brush my teeth because, well, it was about that time of the day. As I was brushing my teeth I remember that I had to pee, but when I finished I walked out of the bathroom and sat down at my computer again. It wasn’t until five minutes later that I remember I was about to pee my pants.

I suddenly got the urge to photograph myself.

I’ve always sucked at RPGs and adventure game. I’ve never finished a Final Fantasy game, I’ve tried finishing Chrono Trigger about 5 different times, and I had to use a walkthrough to finish Monkey Island.

Regardless, I recently started playing Grim Fandango and yes, I had to use a walkthrough (You have to give open the refrigerator and put dirty washing up liquid into his beer? How the hell are you supposed to come to that conclusion?) What struck me about the game is how great the soundtrack is, it’s worth listening to if only for this one track.
