Gone
You gotta feel so guilty
Got so much for so little
Then you find that feeling just won’t go away
You’re holding on to every thing so tightly
Till there’s nothing left for you anyway
Goodbye
You can keep this suit of lights
I’ll be up with the sun
And not coming down
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You had to lose yourself along the way
You change a name but that’s okay
It’s necessary
And what you leave behind
You don`t miss anyway
Goodbye
You can keep this suit of lights
I’ll be up with the sun
And not coming down
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
And I’m already gone
Felt that way all along
Closer to you every day
I didn’t want it that much anyway
You’re taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Then you get to like the way it feels
You hurt yourself you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed
Goodbye
No emotional
Goodnight
We’ll be up with the sun
Are you still holding on
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down

Ad for the iPod touch…. Mr. Bean style!
Kent – Ingenting

Kent’s new album, Tillbaka till samtiden, will be released soon and they will start touring Scandinavia… so keep your fingers crossed so I can go or they come to Spain!
Below is the video for the new single: Ingenting.
Young Frankenstein
Really a walk down memory lane…
and yeah, trailers really sucked. Some still do
but usually they put more effort into them… marketing obviously.
Abbreviations
A video about abbreviations in the Internet era… specially useful for SMS
Found thru Dvorak Uncensored.
Summer ads
This are the best ads of the summer… at least in Spain jeje.
Renault Megane
Atún Claro Calvo
Islam in Europe
A video about islam in europe…
I have nothing against Islam, but what I don’t agree with is to have different laws depending on your religious beliefs. This I know also happens in India (from my indian ex-class-mates) in which Muslim Indians have different laws than Hindi Indians. How can someone in one country have several wives but another one can’t? If all are citizens of the same country, they should all have the same rights and obligations… or at least I think so. What do you think?
Carlsberg & Menthos
This is viral marketing…
Probably the best ad in town
Nokia, Björk and other farewells…
Well, firstly my apologies for late updates but the last week was a bit chaotic…
To start, my first impressions working at Nokia… Well I started working on Monday so over a week now, and overall it has been very good. As expected, in the beginning it has been a lot of reading and getting up to date, and doing administrative stuff like getting a place, a computer, an email account, etc.
The first thing that shocked me was the office atmosphere… it is extremely relaxed, with a couple of couches and a coffee-kitchen area, bright colors, low cubicles and open spaces. It is the exact opposite of my previous job at QTC, which had blue-grayish colors and high cubicles. However, people seem to work more here and waste less time! I guess it is mainly because of the age difference, which obviously is higher here at Nokia. Still it is very friendly and supportive.
The second thing that shocked me were the noises, particularly phone bells. Instead of having the typical office where everybody has a desk phone and you hear the typical phone ring from once in a while, at Nokia (as expected) everybody has only a mobile phone. Therefore, you hear all the time the same SMS sound and the latest song as a ring tone
At the beginning I thought it was a bit annoying, but now I am getting used to it and I even think it is better since you can easily recognize who’s phone is ringing.
So overall, it looks pretty well… but hopefully with time I will get more integrated and the job will become more interesting.
Well, next… on Tuesday we had the master farewell party at the well-known Cielo de Pachá with the usual free open bar
The party was done together with the MFM, MMM and spanish MBA programs, although still few people attended. It was a lot of fun, although obviously my plans to leave early (I had to work on Wednesday!) didn’t work out quite as planned and I ended up getting home after 3am. Obviously I slept-over and woke up at 8:30am! So yeah, I was a bit late to my third day of work :S
To continue with an active week, on Wednesday I went to the Björk concert here close to my home at Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas. It was full of ‘alternative’ people and started very late, but when it finally did it was totally worth it. It was a great concert… what at the beginning seemed to be a simple concert ended up being a high-tech rave full of lasers! High-tech electronic multi-touch screens were used to produce sounds. It started with the song “Earth Intruders” from the latest album which also has a great video that is posted below. The second video is from the Coachella festival (the best version I could find) and it was simply awesome!
Finally Friday and Saturday where party time, so Sunday I was tired and sick. I am still sick but hopefully I’ll get better soon.So I guess that is enough for now… thanks for the ones who are brave enough to read it all ![]()
cheers!
Master Leco
Well, it has been a while now since I haven’t written any updates in the blog… sorry about that. But not to worry, the time has come for an update!
The reason for a lack of updates has been the final days of the master, which imply exams, final projects and final presentations. Overall, this period had a lot of smaller courses which implied that at the end we had a lot of final projects to do
As always, some courses were very good, others were ok and a couple that I would’ve preferred to skip, but overall a very enriching end to the master.
We ended classes last week with a full day of leadership, with the long awaited feedback session. It was a very interesting and useful session, at least for some of us, and definitely an unforgettable one. After the last class, we obviously had to celebrate, so we went for some drinks to Bò Finn. We drank, we chatted, we played pool, we poured drinks on each others heads, and we got kicked out of the bar. But thanks to Alvaro’s negotiating skills we managed to stay for a bit longer
Now that I think about it, it had been a very long time since I was kicked out of a bar!
This week we had the final case presentation, which was based on a very recent Harvard case of Brightcove, a video publishing and distribution company. We had to deliver the written document (which I’m sure nobody read
) on Monday and we had the presentation yesterday Wednesday at closed doors with three judges. Although with some questions, the presentation appeared to be more a sort of a procedure that had to be followed. So anyways, I did the presentation with Alex and we were the last ones to present. And then… party! Well, actually we went for food and drinks, and then for a typical Spanish siesta since we were all so tired. At night, fiesta again, starting with a nice exotic dinner thanks to Yan (who by the way was in the shower when I arrived… one hour late!). After the great dinner, we went to the bar of the week, at Fortuny. Not my favorite place, but we had a good time.
And now, well enough talking about parties… regarding my job search, I went this week to Everis to present the application exams. Overall I think I did good but keep your fingers crossed so they will call me
However, I am still looking for a job in other places. And yes, as some of you already know, I got an internship at Nokia!
On Tuesday I got a call from them to start the internship as soon as possible… meaning today! Fortunately, I managed to change it for next Monday to at least have some rest. So yeah, next week when I start I will give you an update on how it goes… but I am already excited!
And well, to stop boring you, I have pasted below a couple of videos that were done by classmates for the final project of Digital Media Management. They are supposed to be to advertise the master… I don’t know how successful they are but at least you get to see with whom I’ve spent almost a year now!
Photosynth
I guess it has already been commented somewhere, at least I saw it at laJunglaDigital (although I had seen it before
), but still I think it is an amazing technology.
This time, it comes from Microsoft (or a company it bought recently
) and it is a technology to create 3D environments from a series of digital photographs called Photosynth. For this, it takes regular pictures from any source (cell phones to SLR cameras) and detects the relations between them. With this, it creates the environment which you can navigate being enriched by pictures. So that you can understand it a bit better, below is a video with a demo:
You can do a live demo of the technology at the Photosynth website. It is really amazing, and just imagine the possibilities this opens to!
Pocoyo 2
Get ready for the second season of Pocoyo!

This is one of those problems that you don’t believe until you see them, or at least that happened to me.

Definitely, there is people for everything! And me, that I can’t even play a single horn!

Amusing video!
Definitely motivating
Extreme fishing!
Desde cuando la pesca paso de ser un deporte de relajación y meditación a ser un deporte extremo? Pues sÃ, la pesca ha sido totalmente revolucionada en Afghanistan… tan solo de pensar en la inmadurez e ignorancia de esta gente, y el hecho de que están bien armados, da miedo.
Y todo eso para un solo pez?

Últimamente (durante los últimas no se cuantas décadas) todo lo que ha sido publicidad tiende a enfocarse a mujeres, sexo y ser popular. No digo que me moleste ver tÃas buenas pero sà creo que tienden a hacernos dudar sobre la seriedad de los productos que tal o cual compañÃa nos intenta vender, o al menos que nos deberÃa! No obstante, cuando se ve un comercial diferente pero sano hasta llama la atención! Este es el caso de este comercial del coche VW Phaeton, una bestia con motor de W12 de 3L, y aún asà el comercial lo pinta como algo “beautiful”… No me molestarÃa en nada manejar una bella bestia como esta!
Y ya que estoy viendo coches… algo cómico. Es impresionante como se puede hacer tanto daño en una distancia tan corta!
Y claro, tenÃa que ser mujer! jaja SÃ lo se, que machista soy! pero es la verdad
The future of GUI?
Perdiendo el tiempo en el blog Dvorak Uncensored! me he topado con un post de un proyecto de una nueva interfaz gráfica de usuario (GUI). En realidad pinta muy prometedor, llevando el concepto de escritorio a otro nivel, y haciendo más intuitivo el uso de una computadora. No obstante, como se puede ver en el video parecerÃa casi absolutamente necesaria una pantalla táctil, pues no me imagino poder utilizarlo efectivamente con un mouse. En fin, aunque visualmente es muy atractivo, habrá que esperar a ver que tan práctico es… pero sin duda muy fancy
También agrego una pequeña sátira que me he encontrado… no entrare en la discusión de qué sistema operativo es mejor, pero lo que sà me parece absurdo es la cantidad de versiones ‘diferentes’ que hay del nuevo Windows Vista. A ver que pasa, pero dÃa a dÃa Linux y Mac se abren paso mientras el gigante duerme…
AT&T
Excelente explicación de los cambios que ha sufrido AT&T… Es gracioso porque es verÃdico!
