Two trips to Brazil, in less than in a month. This is a great way to add up miles and age prematurely. The worse part of the trip was that there were so many sessions in this managers meeting that I did not have the opportunity to work on any of my side projects. I […]
When Steve Jobs appeared on stage last Tuesday, he finally had some great news for the Mac faithful. We all know that he is a man of vision and that what he is visualizing is a world where portable devices will eventually replace most desktop computers. While this may be true, the Macintosh is still […]
I have just completed updating the template that I use on by my WordPress blog. I have finally eliminated the use of tables and replaced the old template with a new one that relies exclusively on CSS for object positioning.

There has been a lot of speculation on the Net that the main reason for Apple to release Safari on Windows is the money they can get from Google or Yahoo by directing users to their respective search engines. While there is a lot of money to be made from this rather trivial functionality (estimations […]
On Wednesday, after another exhausting day, I went to the CocoaHeads meeting held at the San Francisco Apple Store. The theatre was totally packed to listen to a panel of independent Mac developers talking about the challenges of getting into this industry. I think that it is fair to say that this session was extremely […]
