I’m having a hard time trying to find the right placement for them. Ever since I started using dual displays I’ve always positioned the secondary display (in this case, the MBP) to the left of my main display, but it turns out, the placement of the CD/DVD Drive on the MacBook Pro (to the right side of the unibody) makes it very hard to insert and remove discs when placed to the left of the Cinema Display. No wonder Apple kindly hints the MacBook Pro should be placed to the right of your main display, but then again, as I just found out, what do you do with your mouse? Taking from Apple suggestion, I guess all I have to do now is start using the mouse with my left hand :)
Now, I would’ve shown you more images of the unpacking and stuff, but Martin erased them all along with some other pics I took recently. Just another reason why you shouldn’t co-own a camera. FAIL.

Before I start, let me just say two things:
Ok, having said that, yes, this post means I made it through the 20’s and the day finally arrived: Today I’m turning 30 which is actually weird considering (true story) two years ago I spent 8 full months thinking I was one year older than what I really was. Then one night I was sitting with Kenny and Rebekah sharing our epiphanies in the middle of a full moon I said “Having 29 is so weird-” And Rebekah immediately said “Dude, but you’re 28!”

Slowly but surely I’m catching up with my Flickering. These are from the road trip we took with Kenny, Rebekah and Martin to Vegas on Labor Weekend. Needless to say we had a blast. We got to see David Copperfield, a dude dressed like a lady and guy who I’m sure is John McCain lost brother. Go check it out.

Logo for a personal project of mine, "Fútbol a lo Grande" (Super-size Soccer… or something like that) a half blog/half newspaper dedicated exclusively to cover the latest in the local soccer scene, nothing to serious. Since this is more a hobby than a serious project per say, I don’t have much time to invest on it so I just grabbed a few cliche-ey elements from here and there to put this together. I’m still going back and forth between the Green and the Light blue version.

Here’s some Mac Pr0n for ya. The King has been upgraded, long live the King! This is the new MacBook Pro next to the “old” model. Pictures though, can’t show you how sturdy, solid and more rigid this new model feels. While the specs states the body is now only 0.05 inches thinner, it definitively feels like a lot more, must be the curvy display lid. Another thing you can’t tell from the pics (and something that I was HIGHLY concerned about) is that the new unibody does actually have the same “breathing/pulsating” light that the previous MacBook Pro, only this time it’s “hidden” under the aluminum body, same as with the iSight camera on previous models. Click here if you would like to see more pics.

I know we don’t have in common. You guys love coffee, we don’t even have Starbucks down here. We love soccer, you guys find it booooring, but there has to be something that unite us, something more than just the fact that we happen to share the same planet. I like to believe that something is called HOPE. Hope in a better world, with smarter people making smarter choices.

I finally managed to pick 70-something photos out of the 1500 I took last August/September on my last trip to Albuquerque and upload them to Flickr. You can check them out here.

We had a huge tropical storm with hints of a hurricane over the weekend down here in Asunción. According to the Weather Service, the eye of the storm passed through the city on Saturday at around 7:30 pm with 95 MPH winds. An hour later and when the power service came back up I went outside and found this big ol’ tree ripped from its roots.

Now what would you want to do this to the perfect images you took with your thousand-dollar camera? Simply, you can’t beat the friendly analog feel the polaroids will always have. Click here if you would like to check the high-res versions of the photos from above.

BanditAds.com is a simple and cost effective Video advertising solution for the rest of us. I worked with them to develop a brand and website design early this year but I couldn’t find the time to upload it to my portfolio until now.
