iPhone quality issues?

October 22, 2007

As I wrote in my previous post, I am extremely happy with my iPhone. The screen is simply gorgeous and in general the experience has been amazing so far. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case for everyone. Over the week-end I was helping a friend to unlock his brand new iPhone when we […]

I love my iPhone

October 17, 2007

I bought an iPhone while in Miami last week, just before boarding the Enchantment of the Seas. I hoped to get one of the last 1.02 firmware phones made by Apple but was unlucky (it seems that iPhones are still going extremely fast and that Apple stores restock very often). As a result, I was […]

Back from the Caribbean

October 15, 2007

You may have noticed that I didn’t update my blog last week. That is because I spent last week on a cruise on the Caribbean. This may sound like vacation but surprisingly it wasn’t. It turns out that IBM had organized a “geek cruise” for some of our customers and business parters and I was […]

Using Macs at IBM

October 1, 2007

Today is a date I will remember. It is the day I have been waiting for since IBM announced that we would be selling our PC division to Lenovo. I just got a memo that describes a procedure to purchase a Mac as my primary computer. At this point it is not clear wether this […]

Pixelmator

September 28, 2007

A couple of days ago, without much fanfare a great new Mac application, Pixelmator was released. Despite the relatively lack of interest of the mainstream Mac press, this is major news. Despite what graphic pros may say, Pixelmator is a direct competitor to Photoshop. Granted, it does not offer yet advanced capabilities such as 16 […]

More work

September 23, 2007

It seems that my boss thinks that I have too much spare time to do cool stuff like developing for the Mac and he has decided to do something about it. So, starting yesterday, in addition to running the SWG tech sales organization in Mexico, I have now the additional responsibility of being in charge […]

Pictures updated

September 18, 2007

I have just updated my .Mac site using iWeb’08. You will find pictures of my recent trip to London, Brugge and Utrecht. I have also added pictures from previous trips.

Back in Mexico

September 10, 2007

After spending ten days in Europe I am back in Mexico. Even though I enjoyed my visit to the UK, Belgium and Holland I must say that in many ways I feel more comfortable in the Americas. It doesn’t matter if you talk about Brazil, the U.S. or Mexico, there is something over here that […]

Utrecht

September 8, 2007

Today I spent the day in Utrecht visiting with my family the place where my father and I grew up. I hadn’t returned to The Netherlands in over a decade and my memories where starting to get blurry. It was certainly very emotional, although I think that neither my father nor I would ever consider […]

Putting my Apple TV to good use

August 22, 2007

When I bought my Apple TV I was planning to use it primarily to watch video podcasts on my plasma TV. It turned out not to be such a great plan, I have many devices already connected to it and there where no connections left. Since my wife hasn’t bought into the benefits of ipTV, […]
