No te conozco

No te conozco pero muchas gracias.
Todos los días cuando salgo a fumar a la escalera de incendios me encuentro con un tipo que me mira desde la ventana y cambia la música. Tendrá veintialgo años, pelo largo y se sienta mirando al exterior con un plato de vinilos, imagino que es DJ a pesar de que nunca pensé que los DJs viviesen en zonas tan caras como esta.
Al principio pensaba que era coincidencia, pero después de casi tres meses me he dado cuenta de que es cierto que cambia la música cuando yo aparezco. Supongo que le gusta poner música para la gente y por eso, no es difícil verme aparecer en la escalera y saber que me gusta escuchar cosas como Mr. Brightside de The Killers. Hay veces en que no acierta del todo, pero me tiene bien cogido el punto.
Hoy, con mi fiebre, con mis varios tipos de fiebre, he salido a la escalera y, cuando estaba mirando los pisos de caída del edificio, mi amigo de la ventana ha puesto Love will tear us apart de Joy Division. Cualquiera que me conozca, o cualquiera que haya leído este blog desde hace tiempo, sabe que Ian Curtis, las sogas y los vinilos Iggy Pop que siguen girando sin que nadie los pare tienen mucho que ver conmigo.
Seas el que seas, muchas gracias.

Con fiebre y con Los crímenes de Oxford

Escribo hoy, aprovechando que tengo fiebre. Estos días no he escrito a pesar de no tenerla, pero a veces, la peor fiebre es la que no se marca en el termómetro.
Dando vueltas por Internet me he econtrado con el blog de rodaje de De la Iglesia y me encuentro ante esa situación que odio que es la de escribir de cine en mi propio blog. De la iglesia es uno de los personajes que más simpáticos me caen, me cuenta un amigo lo mucho que le impresionó el estreno de Acción Mutante, que se quedó mirando la peli y pensando "eh, aquí hay un tipo con talento", otro me cuenta los extraños gustos que tiene como persona.
Siempre he pensado que De la Iglesia no ha tenido toda la suerte que se merecía, apareció pronto y con demasiado talento, luego se le juzgó con dureza hasta el más mínimo fallo que tenía y ahora, una vez descubierto el blog de su última película creo que puede ahora sí, que ahora puede ser la vez en que la suerte que siempre hace falta no se le niegue y todas las piezas encajen.
Su blog es divertido, intenso y macarra, pero por encima de todo es un blog personal (vamos, lo que mi falta de talento nunca dejará que sea el mio). Os aconsejo no perdéroslo por nada del mundo.

Ahora con la fiebre, recuerdo que todavía no he enlazado mi blog con el de Daniel Romero, un tipo con el que solamente he hablado un par de veces pero que me cae realmente bien. También dejo el enlace y aprovecho para desearle suerte, que ya debe estar terminando de rodar.

Gelocatil, mi reino por un gelocatil

AÑADO: Pues resulta que sí, que el blog de Daniel "Un día de furia" ya estaba enlazado. Aún así le deseo suerte en el rodaje. Menuda cabeza que tengo...

Holiday Thoughts by Jane Romney

(Jane, in happier times...last Christmas morning)

1. "Is Christmas toomahwoh yet?" (Every day I get this question and I try to explain. We even have advent calendars to prove it. She just doesn't get it and often cries when I tell her no.)

2." Seth bettoh watch out for Santa cause he stoles stuff." (She was listening to "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and got a little worried for Seth, due to the plastic bunny he pilfered when he was at a friend's house last week.)

3. "Why are you twirling the car like that, Mom?" (This comment happened after I turned the corner, IN THE SNOW, a teensy bit too fast.)

4. "I sink that Christmas is about to be cancelled cause aw da snow is melted." (We had a ton of snow, but it got rained out two days ago and she is deeply concerned.)

It takes all kinds

Varieties of Christmas cookies at the 2nd Annual Neighbor Christmas Cookie Exchange:
Candy Cane, Reindeer, Sugar, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Swirls, Fudge Marshmallow, Chocolate Chip, Lemon Raspberry, Gingersnaps and Oatmeal Raisin


Varieties of Neighbors at the 2nd Annual Neighbor Christmas Cookie Exchange:




The kind that lend you lemon juice when you need it for your Wassail, the kind that light your pilot light when your husband is gone, the underage kind that somehow do not spill any hot chocolate on your carpet, the kind that tell you all about their interesting adopting and then finding out they are pregnant story, the kind that make darling reindeer cookies and then send them along with their granddaughter after they are admitted to the hospital (!), the no-kid kind that still nicely put up with yours and, my favorite, the kind that sweep the floor after everyone leaves and then stays for a blogging tutorial.
Have I ever mentioned that I live in the most ideal neighborhood in the world?

Adobe Thermo, Trailer

What is this exactly?
A new tool for designers to make applications without coding or a tool for programmers to design easily?

I come up with Adobe Edge Newsletter. Here is something we´ve been waitting for. At least all of us who are in the frontier between design and programming.

We had seen something about this in Adobe Labs, but here our friend Julie (same people who showed us Adobe CS3) presents something as a Trailer of Adobe Thermo.

Truely, I hope I can use this tool in a short period of time. There are two things very amusing: Seeing a designer trying to program an OOP application and seeing a programmer designing.

I didn´t expect an interfaze as the one shown. It looks like a tool more for Flex than for any other use. Maybe it is because Flex is a new technology and we don´t know yet how will designers do. Fireworks, Photoshop, Thermo?

Sharing Birthdays Today...

Sharing birthdays today are pole vaulter Sergei Bubka, rapper Jay-Z, actress Marisa Tomei, model Tyra Banks, and millions of other people who nobody particularly cares about.

Explanation: Also with a birthday today is comedienne Margaret Cho, who falls into the last category. This, of course, takes me back to the Simpsons episode where Homer is asked for ID to verify that he is a veteran, which he is lying about to get an admission discount:

"Charlie didn't ask for ID when I fought at La Choy, and Chun King. I saw my best friend's head explode at Margaret Cho."

Special Blog Bonus: I haven't run a comic in a while, so here's an xkcd you may not have seen yet:
