Why Not Argentina

En 'round design el 2007.11.20

Apple just launched their online store for Mexico... and again my questions are: With all those millions ($$$) Why can't a company like apple hire somebody who ACTUALLY speaks spanish to translate their pages? It's like reading a google or "Tarzan speech" translation! If this is the "official" store... does that mean, there are "un-official" stores? If you use the same design principles of minimalism: don't say it if it's not necessary. Where do they get things like : "Mantenedme informado" ? I mean, that...

En Spanish Pundit el 2007.11.12

Viendo que mi segundo post sobre el tema no ha tenido respuesta, continúo con el desarrollo de la preocupante infiltración en grupos que protestan por la islamización y que luchan por la integración de los inmigrantes (cualquiera que sea su raza) en Europa. Como ya vimos con anterioridad, el problema fundamental no es en la mayoría de los casos (excepción hecha del Vlaams Belang del que hablaremos luego), la dirección de estos partidos, si no que sus rangos más inferiores han venido siendo infiltrados por...

While some foreigners might entertain themselves and having a laugh listening to Chavez singing (he came up with a CD called "Canciones de siempre" , hey! I have an idea why Mr. Chavez quit the presidency and leave it to someone who wants to take it seriously and become a professional singer? I don´t think he will do good though, baseball player, military, president, all being a failure, don´t think he would do better as a singer. Maybe as a clown...), some of them who never heard the word "Venezuela"...

The most pressing question in the "suitcasegate" scandal is the source of funds of the US$800,000 seized by Argentinean customs officials. Was it narcotics proceeds? It might interest you to know that there is an organisation inside Venezuela who could answer that question today, and prove it with transcripts. Why? Because, they've been listening to all the relevant telephone conversations between Venezuela and Argentina, and reading all the e-mails between the parties. How can they do that? With the...

Steve Wasserman, artist/lecturer London I aspire to Zen-like minimalism and order, but my default button is set to chaos, so this is usually what faces me in the morning after an evening of work. I have a proper drawing table, but I never seem to use it. Why risk perfect ergonomic alignment when you can be having so much more fun hunched and contorted over something you're attempting to execute on the back of a CD case balanced on your left knee? Every artist and illustrator I know is...

Alguien alguna vez dijo que las noches son para pensar, últimamente creo que debería dormir más y pensar menos. ¿Cómo hacen ciertas personas para que las preocupaciones no les importen, para que todo les resbale?, realmente los envidio. Sigo un poco bajón todavía. Y como tal mis selecciones musicales se concuerdan con mi estado de ánimo. Sé que tendría que ser diferente, pero no puedo controlar eso (entre tantas cosas que no controlo últimamente). Tendría que poner algún CD que me dé fuerzas, pero no;...

In Anchorage, venue for the meeting, the march was led by whale campaigners, Hollywood stars and world-renowned surfers.

When describing someone who lives according to his values or ethics the phrase ?a philosophy of life? is generally used. When talking about a philosophy applicable to governmental policies, a reference to the principles that justify those policies should be given. However, those principles equivalent to a philosophy of life do no lie behind the different Latin American administrations that try to justify their totalitarian regimes without taking into account neither the feelings nor the needs of the...

Social Democracy against Militarism In recent days we?ve heard various debates regarding the nature of the regime presided over by Hugo Chávez. A certain sector opines that, due to phenomenological similarities this autocracy shares with European fascisms in their initial stages, it should be classified as ?neofascist.? Another matrix of opinion, perhaps more widely disseminated, assigns it the qualifier of ?communist? because of its intent to collectivize the production apparatus and its delirious love...

A legislative scheme is gaining steam in Washington, greatly aided bylobbyists for Archer Daniels Midland, to "make it easier" for Cuba to"buy" from U.S. vendors. Despite all the scribbling and gabble aboutthe "U.S. embargo of Cuba," or "Blockade" as termed by TheCongressional Black Caucus and Castro lobbyists (but I repeat myself),the U.S. has done over a billion dollars worth of business with Cubathe last few years and currently ranks as her biggest food supplierand fifth biggest import partner. Much of...

Donald Byrd - Amen Donald Byrd - Cristo Redentor Donald Byrd - Slow Drag Donald Byrd - The Emperor Donald Byrd - Black Byrd Although I own 'Street Lady' and and several Blue Note compilations, I was just recently reintroduced to Dr. Donaldson Toussaint L'Ouverture Byrd II. My friend, the reintroducer, a Donald Byrd enthusiast, informed me that he would be playing seven nights in a row at a London venue and asked if I'd like to go. Of course I did and would've had the shows not, unfortunately, all been...

With the aim to sue P2P users, the majors, staunch defenders of the fight against the online piracy, are using surveillance tactics to capture or to commit piracy of Internet users? personal data[1]. In this chance the majors lost the battle. The French Court has decided that the music companies and other copyright owners must abstain to monitor people who download music through the Internet. France has a high standard personal data protection law, this instrument judge ?those tactics- against the law. A...

After a 24 hour trip with three legs to get from northen Mexico to Buenos Aires I landed at Ezeiza International Airport this morning. I was not able to upgrade for the long haul flight between Miami and Buenos Aires. To top it all off I was in the second to last row of a packed 777. I was exhausted by the time I got there.And my trip was not over, I still had to take a 2 hour flight from Buenos Aires to Salta, a very nice city in the north of Argentina. I had a lay over of close to four hours at Ezeiza,...

En Bolivia Today el 2006.11.08

I read this article on the washington post today, It's a sad reality which takes place not only in santa cruz but everywhere in Bolivia. In cochabamba, for example, the situation has become quite notorious, there is a growing lack of people to work in construcions, carpenters and technicians in general. You always hear people saying "He left for Spain" or "He went to Argentina", people are leaving in flocks. But the question is really, why? Even though the current government professes a new type of...

En From Uruguay el 2006.06.29

Winter has arrived to Uruguay, too. Scarfs , woollen gloves, and hats are becoming more and more frequent in everybody's outfit, once again. In cold mornings you even get to see your condensed breath. Tough times for homeless people. It's been a month of rains, cold, and even some mist. Rains were highly expected, and when they arrived, it poured. Unfortunately, it wasn't in the areas that really needed rain, so the energy saving policies are still ongoing (aka elevator queue syndrom). The president's been...

En Can't you just fix me el 2006.06.10

I've been quite angry at nothing in particular, spiteful and jealous like a little brat, and extremely disappointed in myself, for a lot of reasons I don't feel like stating. So any worthwhile words I mighta had to write are not here today. They said they wanted the day off. So, why not? I'm sure they'll come back tomorrow, begging me to write them up here, so they won't be lonely or forgotten. Anyway, however I may portray myself here, I've come to realize that my personality is roughly divided into two:...

A fines de los 60´s, talvez justo en el 69, Bo Ichicawa viaja a San Francisco, ciudad que estaba en su apogeo Hippy y el clima musical era ultra calido, lo cual le impacto tanto a Bo, que al volver llamo a sus amigos Jerry Lam (guitarra de Los Belkings) y Walo Carrillo (baterista de Los Hollys) para formar una banda, PERO YAAA!!! En el 71 entra Alex Nathanson, a ser el vocalista oficial, y a la vez fuga Jerry y entra Cachi Lujan. Todos los miembros de Telegraph Avenue sabian almenos tocar 2 instrumentos,...
