This are the places where I spend the most time when I’m not looking for anything specific, in no particular order.
 

Global Voices:  aggregates, curates, and amplifies the global conversation online – shining light on places and people other media often ignore. That’s their tagline. It’s a great way to find news, some of them almost [...]

It’s finally here. After months of rumors, speculation and a hype level only comparable to that of the iPhone a couple of years ago Apple finally released its “netbook killer” to fill the niche between smartphones and laptops.
I’ve been restraining myself from writing about it. After all, who needed another speculative post? What else was [...]

Google is too slow, RSS is too slow, traditional media is too slow, printed media is waaaay to slow. Now it seems that anything that has happened more than 20 seconds ago is old. The first sentence of this post is old (depending on how fast you read… wait… now it’s old). We are now [...]

Also, I don´t want to get into the “politics” of Freudian Psychoanalysis and the  “war” it´s into [...]

Today, we are used to share ourselves with, almost literally, the rest of the world. Hundreds, thousands of people in some cases are able to see us, watch us, read us.
