After three years of doing this, our e-Christmas Card has become sort of a tradition many of our people have come to expect.
I’ve always loved receiving people’s Holiday cards and letters telling us about their year. When we got married, Joey wanted us to join the tradition, but I’ve never thought I’m a very good […]
Ahhh… The beauty of candid home videos…
Since Joaquin was born I’ve been shooting several short videos of him with my very old digital camera. The main purpose of these is to help us remember all the cute little things he does before he stops doing them, and then of course to share life action images […]
Just read this and what prefaced it, and all these thoughts I haven’t wanted to think too much about have suddenly started running wild — unstructured, un–figured–out still…
I’m a home–based freelancer working almost exclusively for one (very good) client these days. I have all the freedom I need. I’ve had the most relaxed pregnancy anybody […]
An “ad whore”… That’s the latest sutileza from my dear husband. He’s called me that a few times over the last few days, and specially when I told him how much money I’ve earned in advertising revenue since I began the evil experiment. Well, he’s not interested in my explanations, but now that you all […]
I guess the novelty (not the joy) of blogging has finally started to wind down, but after over a year of having started Mafe Maria, I’m finding myself caring less and less about how many feed subscriptions this site has.
For one, I am not sure that all 21 subscribers currently reported by FeedBurner are good […]
If you remember, I started the year with some nice productivity goals. My plan was to work with an eye on a very financially lucrative “Target”, but understanding that I’m only human, attempt to at least meet the “Lazy” level. In any case, under no circumstance whatsoever, should I go below “Minimum”.
So the weeks start […]
You would think that the worst thing that could happen to your project is for it to be canceled… or… put on hold. But you’re wrong: This is much worse.
I’ve been cooking a meal since August. This wasn’t just any meal. It was big, important, with a hugely good and nice cause behind it. It […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
—Why are you making that culo face?
—[silence]
—What’s wrong??? Are you mad at me? Have I done something wrong???
—My server is down again. I can’t work
—Again?… Seems like you need to change hosting companies…
—I can’t. Media Temple is supposed to be THE BEST
—Oh
—Yeah [back to culo face]
What are you supposed to do when you are already […]
Web Design is one of my passions and what I do today for a living. I currently work as a freelancer, and absolutely LOVE IT. Anything that I may want to share related to that work will be posted here.
