OnlY in SweDeN

Like you are not going to believe what happened to me today. Las friday I went with Dytte to have lunch, well it was great but that's another story hehe. The thing is i brought my bike to school and we decided to go to Claras and afterwards to take a walk so I left my bike there that night and saturday's night and tonight (sunday) I was suppose to go to a friend's house by bike and I realized i didn't have my bike. So I went with one of my roommates to school to get it and my surprise was to find it with another lock.
My first reaction was like "Well, I guess somebody else is owning my bike now" but it wasn't that what happened. While continue wondering what was going on i found in the seat a pice of paper pasted with tape so I took it, opened it and found a message in swedish, luckyly my swedish roommate was with me and it said the following: " Förlåt för att vi tog din cykel. Vi har inte skadat något på den. Nyckel till låset sitter fast under sadeln." This message was written in a computer and printed out!!! I of course found the keys for the lock and my bike was in perfect conditions.
Now, how can this be true?, It's like the sweetest story ever! I'm just trying to imagine who took it and afterwards took the time to print the message and leave my bike for me again!! Only in Sweden I guess, but if somehow the responsable for this reads this, THANKYOU I really mean it, thanks for being that kind.

IT future

Technology makes us really really lazy, I mean just take a look at the compu-nerds they don't even have to move from their chair and they are creating things to make life easier. All this things about technology are good somehow, it's not that I'm against that but it's just too material!
I'm really lazy I wish I would have a robot to cook for me and wash my clothes, clean my room, etc. But at the same time it's really anoying how some people are really into all this things full of buttons. Like having a mobile that has too many things on it!! maybe it's really confortable to have internet, camera, mp3, palm and oh! you can talk with it as well, but then you have to really know how to use everything right and for me I don't think that could work that easy.
A very bad thing is the invation of privacy!! like everybody has a camera in their mobiles and wherever you can imagine, I really don't want to imagine myself in a party where I'm having a few drinks, you know with my friends, taking it easy and suddenly seeing my picture on the internet!! that is horrible! or as we saw in class the way to google the keys of your car, what is that??!!
I expect the people to continue being people and not robots, and that all this technology does not continue afecting us in a human way, I believe all this technology just make people want to consume more and more leaving aside the really important things from life.

Keep on looking hehe.

The Long Tail

This is totally the representation of a new economic model for the media and entertainment industries as the author of the book mentions. It's very interesting to see how the market moves around the entertainment around us. There are many good movies and songs for example that are not very famous or totally hits and that's we think this ones doesn't make money. But here Chris Anderson makes us see that this is not true at all.
This is what the Long Tail is about he puts and example of the programs where you can download music, here you are able to navegate and find music related or some other conections to music from other years or some songs that were not hits and they might be good. And there is where it begins the huge business of downloading music where you don't have to skip the crappy songs from the CD and instead of that just get into your computer the ones you like the most. And it works the same with books and DVDs.
The clue for the Long Tale to work this way is based on the "three rules for the new entertainment economy":
1. Make everything avaliable.
2. Cut the price half. Now lower it.
3. Help me find it.
The advantages is to have a closer conection with the costumer and make it easier for him to consume what you are offering.

Andy's B-day

This is my best mexican friend in Sweden. On the 6th we celebrated his b-day in "the mexican" way, food, drinks, singing and dancing! The mexican girls (i can't cook) cooked 'alambre' chicken and beef with pasta and a delicious cake with rum...

"I know, I know, I know
Part of me says let it go
Everything must have it seasons
Round and round it goes
And every day's a one before
But this time, this time
I'm gonna try anything that just feels better..."

"Triumph of the Nerds"

I hate computers, i'm sorry but its the truth. I love using some programs like final cut or photoshop but usually i suck on them sooo... This movie was interesting from the point of view of the big guys like Allan and Gates. Its amaizing how they created all this computers world and have the world in their hands. Nerds? who cares!! I mean it might not be nice being called a nerd but finally these two guys have us undercontrol.

One thing that was totally sad from my point of view is that all the compu nerds are not taking care of their selves. The crazy way they drink coke and junk food is horrible!!! they are all chobbies and they might have health problems. I know and i could see by this movie that for them is not important to look fine as someone said in there "The social life and girlfriends are just a waste of time" what??!!! Well, i guess is just another way of living right?

In a begining I wast getting a little bit confused with all the terms they used about the mocro processors or the datas and other stuff but it was really interesting to see that these people really see all this computer thing with passion and they can totally isolate from the world without caring.

I can't ask you to watch this movie because its just not like my type but if you want to see it you can have some interesting details about the computer world and how do things began before we could just talk by msn on our mobile phones.
