I just heard some very powerful words that although were not new at all to me, for I have lived a lot of my life and achieved most of my goals by this rule, their message indeed needed to be remembered:
You may be feeling that it would be easier to be hearing these words if […]
I was really trying to hold on writing my first pregnancy post until a time when I felt both: ecstatic to be pregnant, and completely confident on the viability of the pregnancy. Yes. For those that I haven’t told yet: I am 6-weeks pregnant. Yay. Unfortunately, every pregnancy book on the planet begins with the […]
While drinking my cocoa after four days of non-stop work meetings, I saw a documentary on the History Channel that captivated me immediately. It was about “El camino de la muerte” (”Death road” in English), a road in Bolivia averaging 200-300 annual deaths, for which it is known as the world’s most dangerous road.
As a […]
As much as I think that there are more similarities than differences among the cultures of South America and North America, I have to admit to a few minor cultural clashes — and food sacrifices — I’ve had to overcome since I came to live in the U.S. Now, not being the typical Colombian who […]
Oh yeah… Some time this week Mafe Maria has turned one year old, and an enthusiastic “Spanish” song is in order:
Japi verdei tu yu… Japi verdei tu yu… Japi verdei Mafecitaaaaa…
Japi verdei tuuuuu yuuuuuu
About a year ago I began writing publicly — and secretly. Today, on my best day, FeedBurner reports 29 subscribers to this […]
South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) is getting mixed reviews this year. My personal opinion? The 2007 conference was not as good as past years, but it still managed to leave me with several interesting nuggets of inspiration. Rob Foster, one of the guys with whom I went to Austin this year, has posted a very […]
This is rich.
A couple of weeks ago, Lorelle’s blog challenge was to find keywords that return your blog as the first result from a Google search. I didn’t do it. In fact, lately, I’ve become much less consumed by the popularity of my sites and the activity on my site logs, so I’m not even […]
It’s been an embarrassing long time since I asked Marla to play a game of Illustrator tennis with me. We got excited, agreed to play, got busy with work, then the holidays… I feared my first move… I didn’t want us to start with an illustration similar to the other two I’ve done. I didn’t […]
The shiny stars of the web design blogosphere — and their loyal readership — are flaming with a heated discussion about the lack of diversity among speakers at web conferences. While some of the opinions touch on the wider meaning of “diversity”, most of the argument centers around the issue of gender diversity.
Kottke started the […]
When Marla said that trying for a baby was overrated, I got it, but couldn’t imagine how true it really is. Trying to get pregnant? Really: Not fun at all.
I know… We’ve only tried seriously for a couple of months. We have no reason (correct: almost no reason) to believe that we can’t conceive. Yet, […]
I really, really,… really thought that I would have many words of patronizing wisdom to share with all of you after going through this long and daring process. I really, really thought that after screwing up one of the seat’s arms, the second arm would turn out perfect. And painless.
Well, I may not have found […]
My dear husband has threatened to delete my site’s feed from his feed reader if I continue not posting, which is ridiculous since, a) I was the first one to threaten him because he hadn’t written in months and his feed was occupying precious space in my Sage bar, and b) he’s only subscribed to […]
