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

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:35:14 +0200

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.

This movie looks incredible and I’ve wanted to watch it ever since I saw the trailer a few months ago.

Depressing comic from mp diary.

In the absence of force, a body either is at rest or moves in a straight line with constant speed

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 00:32:02 +0200

While playing frisbee on Tuesday I went for a long throw, didn’t catch it, and instead of slowing down with my feet I tried to hang off of a goal post. Newton’s first law of motion said no way jose and when I was trying to twist in the air, in a spectacular cat-like acrobatic, to avoid landing on my back I ended up landing on my left thumb instead. The odd angle at which my thumb was sticking out (or inwards to be more precise) gave a hint about the severity of the injury: either a pretty bad dislocation or a broken bone. I ended up going to the doctor the next morning when the pain and the swelling convinced me it was a good idea, and after 3 walks home, 4 metro rides, 2 bus rides, talking to about 40 different people, and showing obscene amounts of paperwork I got my arm plastered. Turns out I had fractured the base of the proximal phalange of my left thumb and in the process temporarily devolved my left hand by about 47 million years.

It’s obvious how hard some things will become when you don’t have an opposable thumb, but you don’t realize to what extent until you it happens. Any of the following activities become a challenge: drying your back, cooking, tying your shoelaces (thank fuck I use my shoes loose enough that I don’t need to tie them), putting on pants, applying toothpaste, washing dishes, opening your wallet and pulling something out, and so on.

I’ve got days off work for this because, well I’m not sure. I can’t type as well with the cast, but I can still work. I’ll get a few more days off and then I’ll see if I can go back. Sure, the first two days my hand hurt a bit, but thanks to those wonderful drugs that isn’t the case anymore. Staying at home without being able to do anything is driving me nuts and I still have another week and a half at least with the cast.

Oblique Strategies Fortunes

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 23:12:26 +0200

I like the expression “You can’t see the forest from the trees” , and I find that it applies to many of the problems people have on a daily basis. I find that a usual technique I use when trying to solve a problem or come up with an idea is to step back from the issue to gain some perspective and try to find a new and completely different approach.

I’d heard about Oblique Strategies once, but they’d been quickly forgotten. It wasn’t until a few weeks ago, when I once again came across them, that I noticed that their purpose is similar to that of the concept mentioned above.

There’s a couple online Random Oblique Strategies websites, a iPhone app and a bunch of other bits and bobs. So, given their short nature and aphoristic style I figured they’d be a great plugin for fortune. Hence fortunes-oblique-strategies. If you happen to have access to one of the other editions, specially #5, feel free to add them or send them to me.
