My friend Mario is the kind of guy you would normally meet once and never forget. I met him back in 1993 while we both assisted to a local Computer School. We later ended up working together in ABC Color.

My wife is turning 23 today which makes me extremely happy. For those who don’t know her, she is an incredible fun and loving human being, OR, she’s an alien from Narcon 5 who’s mission was to marry me in order to learn more about our inferior species , in which case, I’m totally cool with it. Also blowing the candles today, Apple. Yeah, she shares the same birthday as the best computer in the world. That’s how cool she is. Happy birthday Honey!

Wheew… that was exhausting. The posters finally arrived and I just added the SHOP section to the site using ExpressionEngine’s Fairly Complicated Simple Commerce Module. I just hope everything is tied up the way it should be and I’m not making a someone in Nigeria even more richer.

In case my typos and bad grammar didn’t tip you off already, here’s a shocker: I don’t speak English. I do speak my own patented version of it called someglish, which is what you get after learning the language by watching HBO close captioned movies. Don’t get me wrong, I love English, I just never got the chance to actually learn it properly and just when I was about to make my mind and come the conclusion that I must take English lessons, I find this Jason Kottke post about how English IS a difficult language to learn.
Four words that prove how difficult the English language is: lose, loose, chose, choose.
Come on English Vocabulary!? We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Why do you always choose the hard way?
bough, cough, dough, rough, through
Naah, who am I kidding? I’ll just teach you guys someglish instead and we should be ok. Deal?

Hi guys, sorry for the lack of updates. I know I promised that I’ll call write, but seriously it’s not that I didn’t wanted to, I just got caught up with two new projects, a few kernel panics, 3 clean Leopard installations and a hard drive failure. Seriously, it’s not you, it’s me. I just needed some time. Sheeeeeesh… I’m starting to sound like Janice. Anyway, I thought to chime in this morning and illustrate my last few days.

Today I went to pickup my mail from the (stupid slow) Mail Forwarding Service I have down here in Paraguay. Little did I know the ISO50 Posters I ordered last week were already sitting there waiting for me. Warning: Poster Pr0n content ahead.
UPDATE: In the spirit of providing a full review, I just ate the “Soft’N Chewy, Hard ‘N Fruity” candy that came inside the mailing tube with the posters, and here’s the verdict: Gooood. After finishing it, my wife made an interesting remark: “I just hope it was Scott who put the candy on the tube and not just some random candy the mailman (or anybody else) dropped” Oh crap.

You get mad at your .PSD for weighing more than 25 MB. On Saturday I re-did the Winning Poster from the scratch on 18 x 24 @ 300 DPI and prepare it for printing and every CMD + S took about 5 minutes. Photoshop CS3 ate about 10 GB on temporary scratch files. Boy am I excited to finally send this to the printer.
If anyone wants to be notified when they ready for their debut, be sure to let your email on the comments. Thank you!

Thank you so much for visiting my office this weekend. I hope you had a great time trying to break my door. Gotta admit I’m impressed at your finesse and style. I bet you must feel really disappointed for not getting the part for Ocean’s Thirteen. Pfff, it’s their loss. I am certain they wont find your your white-gloves skills anywhere else.

G just gave me a really cool surprise this morning. It turns out she made arrangements with the Pet Care Shop next door to bring Maia (our female Dachsund who has recently became a mother of 5 new puppies two weeks ago) for her monthly check and also to give the puppies their first shots. As soon as the Vet finished, she brought the whole gang to the studio and gave the “Bring Your Dog to Work” Day a whole new meaning.
More pics after the jump.

Happy New Year And Best Wish to Everyone!! This year I’ve decided to make some changes in my life, so leave me a comment, and if I don’t answer it...you’re probably one of the changes.
Now, on a more serious note, I wish you can achieve all your goals this year (or at least the important ones) and be blessed with health, love and work.
By the way in case you were wondering, those 4 people in the pictures are My Brother José (32), My Niece Chantal (11), My other Niece Arami (4) and My Sister Rocio (24). We originally wanted to write Happy New Year, but you know, since I don’t speak English we decided to stick with the Spanish. I’m telling you, trying to explain how to write letters in the air to a 4 year old was a lot more easier than I thought it would be. You can find High Res versions on Flickr
