text-align: center;"&gt;Habia que aprovechar, la nieve recien caida y el primer fin de semana con sol. Nos dimos el gusto de hacer una escapada de un dia a Kirkwood, una estacion escondida en el fondo de un valle, a unas 3 horas de San Francisco. Kirkwood no es una estacion facil, requiere de cierta militancia, los remontes son puras antiguedades (da tiempo a leer un libro en cada subida) y para disfrutar plenamente de la estacion hay que hacer de todo menos seguir las pistas trazadas. Ahora bien, si uno se lo toma con calma y decido pasarse el dia entre arboles, fuera pista, la experiencia se convierte en religiosa. Me recuerda un poco a Ordino Arcalis, en mi pais, Andorra, mi estacion favorita, donde una fiel parroquia ibamos cada fin de semana a gozar de sus fuera pista, y todo en familia. Aqui unas imagenes de Kirkwood:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R7CM2WyPJ4I/AAAAAAAAI8Q/PeB5iGu7cWU/s1600-h/IMG_0185.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R7CM2WyPJ4I/AAAAAAAAI8Q/PeB5iGu7cWU/s320/IMG_0185.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;Las omnipresentes trazas de los aviones en el cielo, que te recuerdan que eso son los USA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R7CM3WyPJ5I/AAAAAAAAI8Y/tSHysq3nuRs/s1600-h/IMG_0190.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R7CM3WyPJ5I/AAAAAAAAI8Y/tSHysq3nuRs/s320/IMG_0190.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;Soy un poco maniatico esquiando, en cada remonte, desabrochar botas, quitar guantes, una vez arriba, desahcer procesos, again and again&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R7CM4WyPJ6I/AAAAAAAAI8g/Fri6aIpVj00/s1600-h/IMG_0194.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R7CM4WyPJ6I/AAAAAAAAI8g/Fri6aIpVj00/s320/IMG_0194.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;Al igual que en San Francisco, Kirkwood tambien tiene sus esquiadores flowerpower&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R7CM62yPJ7I/AAAAAAAAI8o/161Y37aNPP0/s1600-h/IMG_0202.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R7CM62yPJ7I/AAAAAAAAI8o/161Y37aNPP0/s320/IMG_0202.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;Una de las ventajas de los remontadores del pleistoceno es que su lentitud te permite leer los paneles que han puesto en los postes y conocer la historia del lugar. como pone, por Kirwkood pasaban las diligencias de los pioneros, alla en el lejano oeste&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R7DDPmyPJ8I/AAAAAAAAI9E/cWnmUCs8_is/s1600-h/IMG_0170.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R7DDPmyPJ8I/AAAAAAAAI9E/cWnmUCs8_is/s320/IMG_0170.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165843445470668738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No entiendo a los americanos, tan quisquillosos en ciertas cosas y tan "AnchaesCastilla" en otras.

Recuerdo que un 24 de diciembre, con el carnet de conducir recien obtenido, cogi el coche y me fui a la montana porque estaba nevando, y resulta que en una curva el coche patino y se quedo encallado en el arcen.tuve suerte y pude sacarlo despues de media hora de patosas maniobras. cuando ibamos a esquiar, los mejores dias eran los que mas nieve caia, menos visibilidad teniamos y menos gente habia a nuestro alrededor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi connexion con la nieve es esencial, es parte de mi.

Hoy, he me he sentado en modo sabado en el sofa y he visto las dos horas de Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist es un documental cargado de controversia, dividio en tres partes, la primera defiende que el cristianismo es, al igual que otras religiones, una representacion de los movimientos estelares, es decir es una cuestion de Astronomia y no de metafisica. En la segunda parte retoma la idea de un complot para explicar 9/11, un complot en el que estarian involucrados altos cargos politicos. En la tercera parte, critica la creacion y el rol que tienen los bancos centrales en la estabilidad social y en especial la reserva federal norteamericana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creo que tomarse Zeitgeist al pie de la letra seria tan malo como ignorarlo por completo. Por encima de las muchas imprecisiones que contiene, de lo efectista y de lo parcial que es, creo que el valor que tiene es el de recordarnos que todos tenemos una cosa llamada espiritu critico y que debemos practicarlo si queremos mejorar como sociedad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os recomiendo que os tomeis el tiempo de ver Zeitgeist y que contenidos a parte, no os olvideis de ejercer vuestro espiritu critico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=5547481422995115331&amp;amp;hl=en" flashvars=""&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2177415690548107557-4831880580935061297?l=theandorran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/feeds/4831880580935061297/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2177415690548107557&amp;postID=4831880580935061297' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/4831880580935061297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/4831880580935061297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/2008/01/hace-unas-semanas-un-buen-amigo-me-paso.html' title=''/><author><name>Alex Castellarnau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03119064158837381794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177415690548107557.post-3865077317330584952</id><published>2008-01-19T23:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-25T20:05:04.849-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Un dia de migraciones</title><content type='html'>Ayer dormimos en Santa Cruz, a una hora al sur de San Francisco, en la costa, y hoy hemos aprovechado para ir a ver ballenas y mariposas. Parece raro pero resulta que el golfo de Monterey es un lugar privilegiado en cuanto a naturaleza se refiere, lleno de animales marinos y terrestres. Ahora es la epoca de migracion de las ballenas grises, que desciende desde Alaska hasta Baja California en Mejico para dar a luz. Un desplazamiento de unos 4000 kilometros para dar a luz en Mejico y luego vuelta hacia Alaska, estan en Mejico un par de meses, solo lo justo para dar a luz. El porque de tal migracion se encuentra en la temperatura del agua, es demasiado fria en Alaska para que las crias sobrevivan, la capa de grasa de su cuerpo no es suficientemente gruesa. Por este motivo las madres se deben desplazar hasta las calidas aguas del golfo de Baja California y alli dar a luz. Todo esto lo ha explicado la naturalista que hacia de guia a bordo del barco con el que hemos ido a ver los cetaceos. A pesar de que vimos ballenas, la distancia hizo que las vieramos con poco detalles, en cambio las medusas que poblaban el mar al salir de Monterey y los leones marinos is que los pudimos apreciar de cerca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R5qv7sohIgI/AAAAAAAAISQ/xAx0q3XGkJQ/s1600-h/IMG_1582.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R5qv7sohIgI/AAAAAAAAISQ/xAx0q3XGkJQ/s320/IMG_1582.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159629763234570754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R5qwu8ohIhI/AAAAAAAAISY/pYQnSquopRc/s1600-h/IMG_1591.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R5qwu8ohIhI/AAAAAAAAISY/pYQnSquopRc/s320/IMG_1591.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159630643702866450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por la tarde nos hemos acercado a un bosque donde las mariposas Monarca hacen lo mismo que las ballenas, migrar. En este caso vienen del norte de los Estado Unidos, y pasan el invierno en Monterey por la calor que hace. Lo mas curioso de todo, ademas de ver miles de ellas volando a tu alrededor, es que estas mariposas nunca habian estado aqui antes. Me explico, las mariposas solo viven unos 6 meses y eso hace que las que estaban hoy en el bosque de Monterey volaran hasta el norte de los Estados unidos donde moriran, y sus crias nacidas alli, volveran otra vez a Monterey. Como puede ser que estos bichejos voladores sean capaces de volar cientos de kilometros y llegar cada ano al mismo sitio, un lugar en el que nunca antes habian estado. La naturaleza es una verdadera maravilla y un gran misterio, y hoy he vuelto a casa encantado con estas maravillas, entre mariposas y ballenas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R5qvgsohIfI/AAAAAAAAISI/CkhEiox8ZSQ/s1600-h/IMG_1608.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R5qvgsohIfI/AAAAAAAAISI/CkhEiox8ZSQ/s320/IMG_1608.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159629299378102770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2177415690548107557-3865077317330584952?l=theandorran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/feeds/3865077317330584952/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2177415690548107557&amp;postID=3865077317330584952' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/3865077317330584952'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/3865077317330584952'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/2008/01/un-dia-de-migraciones.html' title='Un dia de migraciones'/><author><name>Alex Castellarnau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03119064158837381794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R5qv7sohIgI/AAAAAAAAISQ/xAx0q3XGkJQ/s72-c/IMG_1582.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177415690548107557.post-484538880133978755</id><published>2008-01-13T20:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-13T20:48:23.177-08:00</updated><title type='text'>En nombre de la "madre", del hijo,...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;El sabado, cuando entrabamos a San Francisco por la avenida Junipero Serra vimos esta iglesia.

Por la noche al acostarme, me autoanalizaba clinicamente cada minimo oido de mi estomago mietras me decia, ya veras que tendras que correr al hospital, tu y los otros 89 que se zamparon las amanitas. Resultado, estoy tan campante, y la ensalada de &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria"&gt;Amanitas Muscarias &lt;/a&gt;una exquisitez, quien me lo iba a decir.

Para los que no sepais nada de esta celebracion (como yo) aqui van algunos datos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Se commemora la primera cosecha que los pioneros obtuvieron alla por el 1619, se da las gracias a dios por los frutos obtenidos. Los echos miticos fueron dos episodios de accion de gracias en Berkeley Hundred, Virginia en 1619 y el de unos pelegrinos en Plymouth, Massachussets en 1621&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;El gobierno abre parte del espacio aereo reservado para temas militares y de seguridad para intentar reducir el caos aereo que se produce estos dias, con retrasos a la altura del pais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mas famoso si cabe que el Thanksgiving Day, siempre el ultimo jueves de noviembre, es el &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_%28shopping%29"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Blackfriday&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; o sea manana. es el unico puente que tiene los americanos y a que lo dedican, pues al shopping. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Blackfriday &lt;/span&gt;son las mayores rebajas del ano, algunas tiendas abren a las 5 de la manana, y son ya famosos los Doorbusters, o sea la cantidad de personas que se amontonan en las puertas a la hora de la apertura. Anexo: el lunes proximo, algunas de las rebajas aun estan vigentes pero solo online, esto a dado origen al que  ya se conoce como el &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber_Monday"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cybermonday&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;/a&gt;no esta mal esto de los conceptos y las rebajas. Para que veais un ejemplo de que implica, os recomiendo esta promo online que realiza &lt;a href="http://www.target.com/"&gt;Target&lt;/a&gt;, unos grandes almacenes de creciente popularidad, es un 2-Day race to Sales. Perded un poco el tiempo con el, es muy bueno:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://2day.target.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R0cYwFtSgCI/AAAAAAAAGNM/UbA7il3HanI/s320/target.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136101114484260898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Conclusion: esto es como Santa Claus y el ya famoso echo que la barba balnca y el vestido rojo son idea de Coca-Cola, aqui mucho de lo que forma el imaginario colectivo tiene un origen mercantil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Y por ultimo, como no, lo que faltaba, algo del comer. Al lado del tradicional pavo, que este ano estara repleto de organics, no fat, local, y seguro que a alguno de los pavos hasta lo abran escolarizado, podemos encontrar el &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Turducken&lt;/span&gt;. El &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Turducken&lt;/span&gt;, es un Turkey (pavo) rellenos de un Duck(Pato), que a su vez esta relleno de un chicken (pollo). El Turducken es de creciente popularidad especialmente en los estados del sur (para tranquilidad vuestra y mia propia tengo que deciros que el &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Turducken&lt;/span&gt;, viene con el pato y el pollo deshuesados)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y mientras yo pues trabajando, que asi acumulo dias para Navidad en Andorra, he pensado en llevarme un Turducken pero creo que no pasara el control de seguridad del aeropuerto y si lo hace, seguro que se lo quedan en cuarentena en Barcelona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He aqui el resultado culinario del artefacto en cuestion:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R0XOPVtSgAI/AAAAAAAAGM8/g4hKZOTspjE/s1600-h/turducken.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R0XOPVtSgAI/AAAAAAAAGM8/g4hKZOTspjE/s400/turducken.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135737713006379010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2177415690548107557-4054903332950149792?l=theandorran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/feeds/4054903332950149792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2177415690548107557&amp;postID=4054903332950149792' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/4054903332950149792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/4054903332950149792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/2007/11/pavos-solitarios.html' title='Pavos solitarios?'/><author><name>Alex Castellarnau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03119064158837381794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/R0cYwFtSgCI/AAAAAAAAGNM/UbA7il3HanI/s72-c/target.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177415690548107557.post-3655133374657862365</id><published>2007-11-20T09:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-20T09:21:47.342-08:00</updated><title type='text'>exploracion.wordpress.com</title><content type='html'>Momento de promocion del otro blog en el que estoy metido :), &lt;a href="exploracion.wordpress.com"&gt;exploracion.wordpress.com&lt;/a&gt;. La idea de exploracion (por cierto no me gusta el nombre, se lo puse porque mi imaginacion esta exprimida, aceptamos sugerencias) dira alrededor de la innovacion en los negocios, y esta destinado a los hispano hablantes (no como este blog, que sufre de esquizofrenia idiomatica).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un post que me parecio muy interesante fue el de &lt;a href="http://thinktaboule.typepad.com/"&gt;Nicole&lt;/a&gt;(&lt;a href="http://exploracion.wordpress.com/2007/11/07/los-cinco-csre-considerados/"&gt;las 5 C's reconsideradas&lt;/a&gt;), en el que hablaba de las grandes metas a las que aspiran los jovenes de hoy. su post venia a raiz de una charla que tuvimos con unos amigos Aisatico-americanos en la que nos dijeron que en Singapore, el exito se mide en base a cuantas C's se consiguen(&lt;a href="http://exploracion.wordpress.com/2007/11/05/las-5cs-y-las-4ps/"&gt;las 5 C's&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cash Condo Club Car Career&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Estos cinco logros, ganar dinero substancialmente, ser propietario de una casa, tener un coche, llegar muy arriba profesionalmente y pertenecer a algun Club (se entiende Club social, es decir un Rotari para que nos entendamos, no Club deportivo) es lo marca el exito en esa sociedad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A raiz de eso, Nicole se planteo encontrar las C's de California, y este es el resultado:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Community &lt;/span&gt;- ser parte de un grupo para reforzar el concepto de individuo, ser socio de asocaciones, networks, Web 2.0,…&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Carpool &lt;/span&gt;- ser verde y sostenible, llegar a la oficina en carpool, conducir un Prius, ser socio de &lt;a href="http://www.zipcar.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Zipcar&lt;/a&gt;, tomar transíto público, …&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Creation &lt;/span&gt;- ser emprendedor, ser su propio jefe, el intento de crear un valor distinto y propio, tomar el destino profesional en sus propias manos&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cause&lt;/span&gt;- tener un sentido que trasciende al interes individual en todo aquello que haces&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Estoy seguro que Maslow estaria totalmente de acuerdo.

Una de sus rasgos mas bellos e intrigantes es la niebla, casi ompnipresente a lo largo del ano.

The technology is out there and great individuals like &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnathan_Goodwin"&gt;Johnathan Goodwin&lt;/a&gt; and his company &lt;a href="http://saeenergy.com/"&gt;SAE energy&lt;/a&gt; are doing great stuff. His recipe to change the paradigm and dramatically reduce fuel consumption in the US is based on three steps:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. More Diesel engines. Pound per pound, more power, 40% better mileage and 20% less emissions. just this switch could improve 40% nations mileage as well as become a platform for all the Biodiesel industry with almost zero technological innovation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Start produce Diesel-electric hybrid cars. As the Fast company article points our, this would double the mileage even on the bigger cars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Move on and get into the the "dual fuel" mode. this is combine a electric engine with two other fuels, one would still be Biodiesel, the other could be hydrogen, ethanol, natural gas, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's where SAE Energy is already and the reason why they are able to get 60 miles per gallon out of a Hummer H3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once more we are facing an Economical problem here, an oligopolistic market that impedes or at least slows down the new available solutions to get to the market.

For all of our chronocentric glee, our newest ideas have historic roots: the term network is 500 years old, webs were around before the human race, and the algorithmic DNA is more elegant and powerful than any programming language. Wise innovators--driven by passion more than ego--initiate partnerships, collaborations, and humble studies of the past, raising their odds against the timeless challenges of innovation."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0in;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt; 2. "Apple, like Edison, earned well-deserved credit for vastly improving existing ideas, refining them into excellent products, and developing them into businesses, but Apple did not invent the graphical user interface, the computer mouse, or the digital music player. Similarly, Google did not invent the search engine, and Nintendo did not invent the video game."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0in;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt; 3. "The most useful way to think of epiphany is as an occasional bonus of working on tough problems. Most innovations come without epiphanies, and when powerful moments do happen, little knowledge is granted for how to find the next one. . .Nearly every major innovation of the 20th century took place without claims of epiphany."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0in;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt; 4. "Study the history of any innovation--from catapults to telegraphs to laser beams and nanotechnology--and you'll find its invention and adoption is based on ordinary, selfish, and mostly short-term motivations. Mistakes and complexities are everywhere, rendering a straight line of progress as a kind of invention itself. . .Every technology arrived in the same chaos that we witness in our innovation today.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0in;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt; 5. "There is a huge gap between how an innovator sees the world and how others see the world. Howard Aiken, a famous inventor, said, 'Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.'"&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0in;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt; 6. "The love of new ideas is a myth: we prefer ideas only after others have tested them. We confuse truly new ideas with good ideas that have already been proven, which just happen to be new to us. The paradox is that the greater potential of an idea, the harder it is to find anyone willing to try it.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0in;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt; 7. "While there a lot to be said for raising bars and pushing envelopes, breakthroughs happen for societies when innovations diffuse, not when they remain forever "ahead of their time."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0in;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt; 8. "The best lesson from the myths of Newton and Archimedes is to work passionately but to take breaks. Sitting under trees and relaxing in baths lets the mind wander and frees the subconscious to do work on our behalf. Freeman Dyson, a world-class physicist and author, agrees, "I think it's very important to be idle. . .people who keep themselves busy all the time are generally not creative. So I'm not ashamed of being idle. Some workaholic innovators tweak this by working on multiple projects at the same time, effectively using work on one project as a break from the other."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0in;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt; 9. "The myth that the best idea wins is dangerous. The goodness or newness of an idea is only part of the system that determines if it will win or lose." &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" face="arial" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt; 10. "The myth that leads to this idea-destroying behavior is that good ideas will look the part when found.

To achieve tha target price (100$ one laptop) they have to sell 3 milion units. To do this they've come up with an initiative, buy a laptop at 399$ and donate a second one with no extra charge. Or simply, you don't need a laptop, so donate 200$ and a kid will get a laptop. True devloping countries need food, health system, etc. but they do need access to knowledge or else they will never be self-suficient.

It is a non-profit website and it curently ranks 10th on the most visited websites in the United States. It is all about uders offering products, services, activities, real state, job offers, etc. to other users. Among all the information Craiglist contains the for sure have to be some hidden pearls of weird offerings. That's why they've created the &lt;a href="http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/all/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Best of Craigslist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Sometimes I have the sensation that people have lots of spare time, but in other ocasions I simply believe everybody is just a great creative mind if it has enough time and an appropiate context. Here's an example, a post about &lt;a href="http://www.m-ms.com/"&gt;M&amp;amp;M&lt;/a&gt; and the Darwin theory:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Survival Of The Fittest&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;hr /&gt;  Date: 2007-08-30,  2:03PM EDT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever I get a package of plain M&amp;amp;Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&amp;amp;M duels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&amp;amp;Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&amp;amp;Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&amp;amp;M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&amp;amp;M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&amp;amp;M for breeding purposes."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&amp;amp;Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There can be only one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good thing is the M&amp;amp;M guys identified the value of such a user and responded. At this point they've turned a consumer into an evangelist, into a fan, an that's simply the best, it got all the was to Craigslist and now it's being spread all over.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2177415690548107557-7818762389056677189?l=theandorran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/feeds/7818762389056677189/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2177415690548107557&amp;postID=7818762389056677189' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/7818762389056677189'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/7818762389056677189'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/2007/09/lots-of-spare-time-and-creativity.html' title='Lot&apos;s of spare time and creativity'/><author><name>Alex Castellarnau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03119064158837381794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177415690548107557.post-8387947247687912082</id><published>2007-09-21T12:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-23T19:34:33.078-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ikea and the microsegmentation</title><content type='html'>I'm from the Principality of Andorra, about 80 thousand people living there.

Mas posts seguiran a este sobre el mismo tema pero para empezar, los protagonistas de la fiesta fueron los robots. y dentro de los robots me sorprendio el hecho que se estan concentrando en la &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Articificial Emotion&lt;/span&gt; y no tanto como hasta ahora en la &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Artificial Motion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;todo gira alrededor de representar los sentimietos, expresiones humanas. Lo curioso del caso es que me parecieron mucho mas interesantes aquellos robots mas iconicos, coneptuales que no los que pretendian ser realistas. He aqui unos ejemplos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Artificial Emotions Realistas&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RvLseI1U82I/AAAAAAAAEdU/VzQQWgHfK_Y/s1600-h/P1020505.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RvLseI1U82I/AAAAAAAAEdU/VzQQWgHfK_Y/s400/P1020505.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112408529530319714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En este caso el robot captaba la posicion del usurio y su cara emitia sonrisas. Como podeis apreciar el resto del robot no ayudaba a hacerlo creible, habia que concentrarse solo en la cara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RvLs2o1U83I/AAAAAAAAEdc/Gy13FHqzbnI/s1600-h/P1020494.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RvLs2o1U83I/AAAAAAAAEdc/Gy13FHqzbnI/s400/P1020494.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112408950437114738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En este otro creador y creado se fundian en uno solo invitando al espectador a decidir quien era quien. A mi personalmente me parecio que estaba en un museo de cera puesto que el robot no movio ni un pelo y eso hizo. O sea que el componente de motion senzillamente desaparecio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;li&gt;Artificial Emotions Conceptuales (mejor lo veis vosotros mismos)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YhnqNli27Es"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YhnqNli27Es" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y su media naranja&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oZ3gFb_LURU"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oZ3gFb_LURU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parecian juguetes salidos de un dibujo animado.

He aquí el top ten:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. En Estados Unidos valoran que seas un gastador responsable, en Europa un ahorrador consciente&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. En Europa la circulación en carretera se sustenta en la clara comprensión de las señales, en Estados Unidos en la correcta coordinación de los comportamientos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. En Europa firmas poco pero con mucha trascendencia (cada firma concentra mayor valor). En Estados Unidos firmas mucho y se fragmenta su valor, a la vez que la conciencia de lo firmado&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. En Europa se discute, debate y lucha por el contrato de trabajo, es decir, la permanencia. En Estados Unidos se discute, debate y lucha por la oferta de trabajo es decir, el acceso&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. En Europa el yogur nos lo tomamos por la noche después de cenar. En Estados Unidos es un desayuno&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. En Europa las leyes se construyen a partir de acciones parlamentarias, en Estados Unidos de acciones ciudadanas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. En Estados Unidos la religión genera opinión. En Europa la opinión genera religión&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. En Europa las palabras se convierten en teorías, en Estados Unidos se convierten en acciones&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Como consecuencia, en Europa somos gráficos, mientras que en Estados Unidos son ortográficos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. En Europa las naciones pretenden al Estado, en Estados Unidos los Estados pretenden a la nación&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2177415690548107557-7679052377804397378?l=theandorran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/feeds/7679052377804397378/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2177415690548107557&amp;postID=7679052377804397378' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/7679052377804397378'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/7679052377804397378'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/2007/09/diez-cambios-de-paradigma.html' title='Diez cambios de paradigma'/><author><name>Alex Castellarnau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03119064158837381794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177415690548107557.post-4708447899286306217</id><published>2007-09-18T13:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-18T13:16:34.533-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Organics + Customization + Fun</title><content type='html'>Experiencias como esta hay varias pero por sencillez, por variedad, por interfase, estos alemanes y sus cereales customizados me gustan especialmente (esta en aleman, imaginacion al poder para la traduccion simultanea, un tip, muesli quiere decir muesli :)):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RvAxhe8WmwI/AAAAAAAAEXM/yY6BnHMJVcw/s1600-h/Cereals.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

John Sheperd-Barron en su afán por desarrollar la maquina había decidido darle un código de seguridad de 6 cifras, le parecidos prácticamente indescifrable. Al llegar a casa por la noche se sentó a cenar con su mujer y le contó como había avanzado su proyecto ese día. Al llegar al tema de los 6 dígitos, su mujer le paro y le dijo que no funcionaria, que ella era incapaz de recordar cifras de mas de 4 dígitos y le dio varios ejemplos de como eso aplicaba a su vida. John Shepherd-Barron, como buen marido, escucho atentamente el insight que le dio su mujer y decidió cambiar el código secreto de los cajeros y ponerle 4 cifras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La próxima vez que vayáis a un cajero, pongáis la tarjeta y os pida el código secreto, pensad en Ms. Sheperd-Barron, que una noche en medio de la campiña escocesa decidió que todo el sistema de tarjetas de crédito mundial, visa, mastercards, diners, amex, etc. iban a tener 4 dígitos en sus códigos secretos...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...como dijo un sabio: "los pequeños detalles son poderosos"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS. A esto es a lo que en el mundo de la innovación de producto se lo conoce como Rapid Prototyping, y como veis funciona de maravilla. A partir de ahora, si tenéis una idea rápidamente buscar una Ms. Sheperd y dejar que ella juegue con la idea y monte unos cuantos escenarios, y olvidaros de cuantitativos por favor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RuLejZWTVqI/AAAAAAAAEHc/igPcvdDue1Q/s1600-h/ATM.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RuLejZWTVqI/AAAAAAAAEHc/igPcvdDue1Q/s320/ATM.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107889627072779938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2177415690548107557-8311705132867739679?l=theandorran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/feeds/8311705132867739679/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2177415690548107557&amp;postID=8311705132867739679' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/8311705132867739679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/8311705132867739679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/2007/09/los-4-digitos-del-codigo-de-las.html' title='El test Ms. Sheperd o como practicar el rapid prototyping (bueno, bonito,... y barato)'/><author><name>Alex Castellarnau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03119064158837381794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RuLejZWTVqI/AAAAAAAAEHc/igPcvdDue1Q/s72-c/ATM.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177415690548107557.post-4662658738777398644</id><published>2007-09-11T21:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-11T22:00:21.178-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Labeled honesty and brand lazyness</title><content type='html'>I buy organic products, I believe they are healthy and respectful, that's good.

One of my goals while I'm here in the Bay Area is to link my country with the new ideas happening here. I though I could try writting a sort of article and sending it to the Diari d'Andorra. Today, 9th of September it has been published in the opinion section of the newspaper. Thanks to Diari d'Andorra, I'll definitely keep writting stuff that may be cool for my great country.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.diariandorra.ad/noticies/view.php?ID=4142"&gt;Diari d'Andorra&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;p/&gt;&lt;H2&gt;Les identit@ts i la innovació&lt;/H2&gt; 			 			  			&lt;DIV id="autor"&gt; 				Álex Álvarez Castellarnau&lt;br/&gt;  				&lt;span class="parroquia" /&gt; 			&lt;/DIV&gt;	  			  			&lt;p&gt;• El sociòleg Manuel Castells defineix la identitat de projecte que caracteritza una determinada societat com aquella en què els actors socials, a partir del material cultural de què disposen, construeixen una nova societat i cerquen la constant transformació de tota l’estructura social. En contrast a la identitat de projecte, Castells ofereix dues alternatives, la identitat legitimadora, aquella imposada per institucions hegemòniques, i la identitat de resistència, aquella generada com a reacció a una amenaça excloent. Aquests tres conceptes es barregen en les diferents identitats de les nostres societats; malgrat això, cada societat té una certa tendència cap a alguna de les tres opcions. Així, per exemple, hom podria pensar que la identitat de Catalunya ha estat i és una identitat de resistència, i la identitat nord-americana darrerament té un fort component d’identitat legitimadora. &lt;br/&gt; Tenint presents aquests conceptes, centrem-nos en un cas identitari concret i poc conegut, la badia de San Francisco, o The Bay Area, com la coneixen els autòctons.&lt;br/&gt; Una de les instantànies més conegudes és el pont vermell de San Francisco, el Golden Gate. El Golden Gate dóna entrada a una àrea geogràfica força peculiar, una gran badia de més de 200 quilòmetres de costa. Malgrat que tots tenim una idea d’allò que és la ciutat de San Francisco, i segurament en podríem anomenar atributs clau (com liberal, per exemple), poca gent se sent familiaritzada amb el concepte de la Bay Area. El fet curiós és que quan als habitants de la ciutat els demanes d’on són, solen respondre: “I’m from the Bay Area” (“sóc de l’àrea de la badia”) i no pas “sóc de San Francisco”. Què hi ha, doncs, darrere d’aquest concepte identitari de la Bay Area. Fem-ne un recorregut geogràfic.&lt;br/&gt; A vol de colom, a l’oest de la badia hi trobem la Universitat d’Stanford, que si fos un país seria el cinquè país del món en nombre de premis Nobel. Tot just al sud, trobem Silicon Valley, amb la seu de pràcticament totes les companyies que han revolucionat la nostra societat a través d’Internet. A l’est, la Universitat de Berkeley, que si fos un país seria el setè del món en premis Nobel (si sumem Stanford i Berkeley, serien el quart país del món, darrere dels Estats Units, el Regne Unit i Alemanya). Tancant el triangle, a l’oest de la badia descobrim la ciutat de San Francisco, centre neuràlgic de nombroses companyies del món de la comunicació i la publicitat, com Industrial Light and Magic, de George Lucas, per exemple. La historia de la badia és plena d’onades migratòries, tant des del costat asiàtic com des d’Europa, d’episodis disruptius de canvi, com el terratrèmol del 1906, la febre de l’or o la descoberta del microprocessador i de l’ús de materials semiconductors com el silici. Avui, la badia de San Francisco és el principal pol de coneixement aplicat d’àmbit mundial, i després de tot el boom del món dels ordinadors i Internet estan reenfocant els seus esforços cap a la següent etapa que marcarà la societat, el desenvolupament d’energies netes, productes sostenibles i mitjans de producció respectuosos amb el medi ambient. En definitiva, la clau per entendre la identitat de la Bay Area és entendre que és una identitat de projecte on la constant és la innovació. &lt;br/&gt; Un dels economistes més influents del segle XX, Joseph Schumpeter, va centrar els seus esforços en la figura dels emprenedors, de la creació de noves idees i de la destrucció creativa que aquestes noves idees generaven de manera natural en la societat. Per a Schumpeter, així com per a Castells, les societats de futur construeixen la seva identitat a partir de projectes i no tant de tradicions, i entenen que el canvi és la constant i que, per tant, cal gestionar-lo per generar el màxim d’oportunitats i no pas oposar-hi resistència ancorant-se en l’estatus actual.&lt;br/&gt; Des que sóc a la Bay Area, em pregunto quina és la identitat que marca en aquests moments la societat andorrana, i si, com voldria creure, els ciutadans d’Andorra compartim una identitat de projecte. Llavors em pregunto quines són les idees que tots compartim, quins són els canvis que gestionem i si tots plegats som conscients i acceptem allò que cal deixar enrere. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2177415690548107557-3220894417641931822?l=theandorran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/feeds/3220894417641931822/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2177415690548107557&amp;postID=3220894417641931822' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/3220894417641931822'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/3220894417641931822'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/2007/09/les-identitts-i-la-innovaci.html' title='Les identit@ts i la innovació'/><author><name>Alex Castellarnau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03119064158837381794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177415690548107557.post-9031576071743970096</id><published>2007-09-07T13:56:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-07T13:56:52.402-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Presentations mantra</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/liQLdRk0Ziw"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/liQLdRk0Ziw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2177415690548107557-9031576071743970096?l=theandorran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/feeds/9031576071743970096/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2177415690548107557&amp;postID=9031576071743970096' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/9031576071743970096'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/9031576071743970096'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/2007/09/presentations-mantra.html' title='Presentations mantra'/><author><name>Alex Castellarnau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03119064158837381794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177415690548107557.post-8829601667122597602</id><published>2007-09-04T21:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-04T21:49:44.424-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Flight tech, flight no tech</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt; I.

Es promou doncs l'aigua de l'aixeta i es penalitza el transport d'ampolles d'aigua amb les emisions que comporta, l'us de plastic i es promou la redireccio de recursos cap a paisos que ho necessiten, entre altres. Es dona el cas que esta de moda una aigua que ve de Fiji, un pais on 80% de la poblacio no te aigua corrent, sense tenir en compte l'impacte ambiental d'enviar ampolles cap a Fiji, omplir-les i despres enviar-les cap a USA.

Their tasks constists on studying the values, beliefs, the habits of the different countries, societes and cultures that form the planet. Go to their website, is highly recommende. Among other studies, you can find the Inglehart-Welzel Cutural Map of the World. It is really interesting to see how the different countries and cultures correlate with the variables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="citation"&gt;The first interesting conclusion is that there's two variables,  that explain the major differences among the different societies. Variable one, &lt;span&gt;Traditional/Secular-rational values, reflects the contrast between societies in which religion is very important and those in which it is not. Variable two, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;the transition from industrial society to post-industrial societies-which brings a polarization between Survival and Self-expression values.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="citation"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Very interesting to see where countries such as the US are, close to the traditional religios than to the secular/rational one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="citation"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Anyway, this is all based on a survey, so some of you may think potentially there's plenty of mistakes.

Esto provoco una reaccion por parte del CEO de Wholefoods, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mackey_%28businessman%29"&gt;John Mackey&lt;/a&gt;, un tejanoe de Austin, uno de esos emprendedores que tienen poco de CEO y mucho de visionario. Mackay invito a Polan a reunirse con el y desde entonces empezaron una constructiva conversacion a traves de emails y blogs. todo esto ha llevado a Wholefoods, que ya de por si era la cadena de alimentacion mas ecologica y con conciencia del pais, ha replantearse parte de su estrategia e iniciar iniciativas muy interesante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estos dos interesantisimos personajes, despues del intercambio de emails y blogs, ofrecieron una interesante charla en la universidad de Berkeley. Es un documento largo, pero vale muchisimo la pena, toda una declaracion de intenciones de hacia donde va la industria alimentaria y en especial el papel que puede jugar en nuestra sociedad un actor tant importante como la distribucion.

In some places, such as &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Barcelona&lt;/st1:city&gt; and &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;New York&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; it tastes horrible, but is still perfectly healthy. In &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;San Francisco&lt;/st1:city&gt; for instance the water comes straight from &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Yosemite&lt;/st1:place&gt; national park and it's so good that they do not even have to filter it. So except if you are from &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;New York&lt;/st1:state&gt; or &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Barcelona&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;, &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;DRINK TAP WATER!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fijiwater.com/"&gt;Fiji Water&lt;/a&gt; is after Evian, the second best selling upscale water in the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. It is real Fijian water bottled in the &lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Fiji&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Islands&lt;/st1:placetype&gt; and shipped to the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;US&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. For each liter of &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Fiji&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; water, The total amount of water used to produce and deliver one bottle of imported water is 6.74kg. And the amount of GHGs (Green House Gases) released amount to 250g, or 0.25kg, or 0.00025 tons (imagine, they have to ship the bottles from &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;China&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; to &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Fiji&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and then the water bottles from &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Fiji&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; to US). On top of that , access to drinking water in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Fiji&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is around 43%. So please, DRINK TAP WATER !!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pepsico and Coca Cole have their respective water brands &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.aquafina.com"&gt;Aquafina &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.dasani.com"&gt;Dasani&lt;/a&gt;. Both belong to the Purified type of water. This means municipal water, also known as tap water that is bottled. They do some chemical treatment that they then sell as purification. It sounds as if they where blessing the water. Well, what they are really doing is simply unifying taste among. This means, there are Aquafina bottling plants all over the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;US&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, and &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Europe&lt;/st1:place&gt;, using the municipal waters of different cities. If they did nothing all this perfectly healthy waters would taste different because they come from different cities, so no brand consistency. That's why they have to purify the water, to make Aquafina or Dasani taste the same no matter where you are. So please &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;DRINK TAP WATER !!!!!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2177415690548107557-4695217034390147762?l=theandorran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/feeds/4695217034390147762/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2177415690548107557&amp;postID=4695217034390147762' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/4695217034390147762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/4695217034390147762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/2007/08/if-you-drink-bottled-water-think-maybe.html' title='If you drink bottled water think maybe you&apos;d like to reconsider...'/><author><name>Alex Castellarnau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03119064158837381794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/Rrfo9JRma7I/AAAAAAAADxw/-7shcNmnikk/s72-c/watter.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177415690548107557.post-318291943020049703</id><published>2007-08-05T00:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-05T00:19:31.510-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Por si cuando marca Ronaldhino tepilla amb els pixats al ventre</title><content type='html'>No se si se aprecia bien, pero lo que esta encima del retrete es una television en la que estan dando un partido de beisbol.

Los internautas postearon sus preguntas en Youtube y durante el debate en CNN fueron planteadas a los candidatos. Youtube no anade mucho valor al debate, puesto que CNN seleccionaba las preguntas, pero bueno algo es algo. Ademas de este debate, youtube esta lleno de videos de los candidatos marcando claramente el hecho de que internet esta plenamente integrado en la vida politica norteamericana. De la misma manera por cierto en youtube, los internautas han colgado todos los videos de los canditatos en situaciones politica y presidencialmente poco correctas. Ejemplo, estas imagenes del republicano Giuliani disfrazado de mujer, que ya ves tu, pero en este pais eso es como pecado capital:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4IrE6FMpai8"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4IrE6FMpai8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;En el Polo Sur&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En las recientes eleccions parlamentarias en Japon el uso de internet por parte de los partidos, email incluydo ha sido PROHIBIDO. Aunque parezca surrealista asi es, el medio mas democratico que tenemos es excluido del ejercicio mas democratico, unas elecciones. La razon, pues aparentemente en Japon estan prohibidos la distribucion de panfletos de propaganda durante la campana y internet se considera una variante de esto y por lo tanto ha sido prohibido. Lo curioso del caso es que he escuchado a estudiantes de ciencias politicas de una universidad de Tokio y estaban de acuerdo. Segun ellos internet no es "oficial" y es "poco serio".

Bien sea en tierra ....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uno de los pilares de los movimientos pacifistas y proderechos humanos de los anos 60 surgio en la Universidad de Berkeley alrededor del &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Speech_Movement"&gt;Free Speech Mouvement&lt;/a&gt;. Entre otras cosas, lucharon por el derecho de voto para los afroamericanos y otras causas vinculadas a los derechos civiles, entre ellas la abolicion de la obligacion de las facultades de declarar su tendencia politica (si, es asi, en los 60's las facultades norteamericanas tenian que declarar si eran de orientacion democrata o republicana, ademas del hecho que no podian ser apoliticas, tampoco podian optar por otras opciones,  a que nadie lo hubiera dicho de los USA).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pues bien, aunque anecdotico, el otro dia en la terminal de vuelas nacionales de San Francisco descubri esto:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RrAtm5RmazI/AAAAAAAADws/hMjkG5Ur9Q4/s1600-h/PIC-0077.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RrAtm5RmazI/AAAAAAAADws/hMjkG5Ur9Q4/s320/PIC-0077.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093621324788951858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RrAtuZRma0I/AAAAAAAADw0/8TH_ov-LitM/s1600-h/PIC-0076.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RrAtuZRma0I/AAAAAAAADw0/8TH_ov-LitM/s320/PIC-0076.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093621453637970754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un Free Speech corner, es decir, un rincon en medio de las mesas de facturacion en el que las personas pueden expresarse libremente, al estilo del Speakers Corner de Londres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;... Bien sea de altos vuelos ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ayer por la tarde decidimos acercarnos hasta la universidad de Stanford atraidos por una convocatario sobre una charla titulada Ecoimagination. Personalmente no habia leido quien era el postulante, pero me imagine que podia encontrarme a un raro especimen de estos que rondan por Sillicon Valley mezcla de activista de Greenpeace y de ejecutivo de agencia de publicidad. Cual fue la sorpresa al llegar a la sala y encontrarmela hasta los topes, tuvimos que sentarnos en el pasillo. La charla ya habia empezado y pronto me di cuenta que el postulante debia ser alguien importante (esencialmente porque era un discurso del tipo politico, es decir, con poca miga). Era&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Jeffrey Immelt CEO de General Electric, para los del mundo de los negocios, el sucesor del mitico jack Welch (para los ignorantes como yo, este senor es basicamente dios). Entre nosotros me hubiera gustado mas el Greenpeace, el discurso de Mr Immelt tuvo poco de Eco-, entre otras cosas vino a decir que a el mientras haya negocio sera eco, y si luego de eco hay que hacerse del Betis para seguir haciendo negocio pues que tambien. Y en lo que a Imagination ser refiere pues que le vamos a hacer mucha mucha tampoco. En resumen una conferencia absolutamente mitomana y profundamente decepcionante.

Last weekend they were collecting money for young musicians, for every signature a person did in some big white boards spread all over the theater a financial institution was going to donate one dollar. In exchange for your signature they gave everybody a little pin shaped as an instrument with blinking lights on it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RqhAspRmGEI/AAAAAAAABCQ/qNvY3jgKH64/s1600-h/PIC-0057.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RqhAspRmGEI/AAAAAAAABCQ/qNvY3jgKH64/s320/PIC-0057.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the point. Inside each pin you can find two button cell batteries. Yes you are right, these batteries that are highly pollutant .

Learning, it seems that there is still lots of work to do to change peoples mind and get everybody always aware of what taking care of the environment means. What worries me is that even charitable actions (you would assume they are sensitive to these issues) also have a long way to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RqhBXJRmGHI/AAAAAAAABCo/8APnQSuQHb0/s1600-h/PIC-0061.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 278px; height: 208px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RqhBXJRmGHI/AAAAAAAABCo/8APnQSuQHb0/s200/PIC-0061.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091391244624861298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="middle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2177415690548107557-7853370620563835446?l=theandorran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/feeds/7853370620563835446/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2177415690548107557&amp;postID=7853370620563835446' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/7853370620563835446'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/7853370620563835446'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/2007/07/ecologically-conscious-still-long-way.html' title='Ecologically conscious: still a long way to go'/><author><name>Alex Castellarnau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03119064158837381794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RqhAspRmGEI/AAAAAAAABCQ/qNvY3jgKH64/s72-c/PIC-0057.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177415690548107557.post-3373670394044858440</id><published>2007-07-18T11:20:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-18T11:35:30.497-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The to Stay or to Go Effect</title><content type='html'>You think you speak a foreign language until you go to the country of that specific language and you get to order a coffee in a bar. Usually then you realize you know nothing about English, for instance, and you fall in a deep depression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've gone through this tough moment a several times and in order to overcome the frustation that goes with I've done a long research and came out with some findings that I share with you. i hope they'll help you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are staring at the bartender and you think for yourself: "I don't undersand them because of their accent, I've learned English from South England and these guys are American, Australian, Scottish, or whatever". WRONG!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's my theory, it is not a language/pronunciation problem, it is a RITUAL problem. You  usually understand everything the bartender tells you until you hit a point that differs from the same situation you would have in your country. Example, in Spain a Bartender never asks you if you want your coffee to stay or to go, and that's the point where you dont' understand him!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are used to your daily rituals, and in Spain having your coffee implies A+B+D, you unconsciously know this.

"In very exotic circumstances, such as very low temperature and high magnetic field, we're essentially grabbing onto the particles and moving them around each other, forming knots in what we call the space-time path," Simon explains.

If together with you there's a bunch of other people getting to the same server at the same time, everybody gets stuck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solution: instead of your computing looking for a specific server that has the data you are looking for, your computer we'll look directly for the data itself. So instead of everybody looking for the one server, the computers if other networked computers have the piece of data you are looking for.

That's 3,000 gigabytes. We're talking about a digital video recorder that records nothing but high-def video.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="article_subtitle"&gt;2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can You Say 4G?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth-generation cellular networks debut in the United States. The LTE (Long Term Evolution) standard doubles the throughput of 3G networks, offering 3 to 4 Mbps to real-world users.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="article_subtitle"&gt;2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chips Go Optical&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IBM perfects a chip for mainframes and other high-end machines that uses optical connections instead of copper. Moving photons instead of electrons improves data transfer speeds eightfold.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="article_subtitle"&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Cure for Jersey Drivers&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first cars equipped with Motorola's MotoDrive technology roll off the assembly line. Able to calculate their speed and position relative to other vehicles, these cars can automatically avoid accidents.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="article_subtitle"&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;HDTV Is Obsolete&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ultra High Definition Television (UHDTV) debuts with a resolution of 7,680-by-4,320 and 22 speakers of surround sound, dwarfing today's HDTVs, which top out at 1,920-by-1,080.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="article_subtitle"&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Power Off, Memory On&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Manufacturers use carbon nanotubes to offer NRAM (nonvolatile random-access memory). Unlike today's SDRAM and flash memory technologies, it can hold information even when you lose power.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="article_subtitle"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wash 'N' Wear iPods&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flexible, washable OLED screens hit the market. That means laptops that roll up like place mats—not to mention smartphone and music-player displays built right into your clothing.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="article_subtitle"&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Offices Everywhere&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wall-sized displays made of low-power polymers and improved video-conferencing technologies let groups of home-based workers interact as if they were sitting face to face.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2177415690548107557-7196869051319723095?l=theandorran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/feeds/7196869051319723095/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2177415690548107557&amp;postID=7196869051319723095' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/7196869051319723095'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/7196869051319723095'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/2007/07/cool-lab-research-from-pcmagcom.html' title='Cool Lab research (from PCMag.com)'/><author><name>Alex Castellarnau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03119064158837381794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177415690548107557.post-7916366362915027502</id><published>2007-07-13T00:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-13T00:51:34.871-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A must read</title><content type='html'>Simply one of the best articles I have ever red, click and enjoy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nybooks.com/articles/20370"&gt;Our Biotech Future, by Freeman Dyson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2177415690548107557-7916366362915027502?l=theandorran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/feeds/7916366362915027502/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2177415690548107557&amp;postID=7916366362915027502' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/7916366362915027502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2177415690548107557/posts/default/7916366362915027502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theandorran.blogspot.com/2007/07/must-read.html' title='A must read'/><author><name>Alex Castellarnau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03119064158837381794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177415690548107557.post-6502480042706231155</id><published>2007-07-09T17:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-13T00:57:19.298-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Me and the net</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What you did and bought vs what you do and get for free!!!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I never really red magazines, newspapers, etc. ...... now I keep track on world information using Google reader - &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/reader.google.com"&gt;&lt;span class="a"&gt;reader.google.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RpLKufFK2FI/AAAAAAAABAw/FiyD2EFSrtc/s1600-h/googlereader.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_BjUGmhFYs00/RpLKufFK2FI/AAAAAAAABAw/FiyD2EFSrtc/s320/googlereader.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085349829220685906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;My dad bought an encyclopedia and a few dictionaries....

The technology turns each vehicle into a potential energy storage system, increasing power reliability and the amount of renewable energy available to the grid during peak power usage. Google has signed an agreement with PG&amp; E, www.pge.com (Pacific Gas and Electric Company), a pioneer in developing the technogly that enables cars to become energy suppliers for homes, businesses ets. In the future this system will allow to offset Google's peak energy usage with energy from the vehicle batteries stored the previous night, simultaneously providing environmental, economic and national security benefits.&lt;/p&gt;
