Criticism avoids you from seeing the good09 June, 2011
I'm just about to finish listening to the "Making Ideas Happen [http://www.audible.com/pd/ref=sr_1_1?asin=B003LZ2TL4&qid=1307617874&sr=1-1]" audiobook, and wanted to share my review and a few nice ideas I can highlight from it. Though the title of this book could suggest that it's subject is related to procrastination, just like the other two books I reviewed last month (The Now Habit [https://www.xnv.io/posts/done-with-the-now-habit] and Eat That Frog [https://www.xnv.io/posts/if-youve-got-t

You don't know the basics02 June, 2011
Everybody knows how to breath, and that is taken for granted because we all do it and we all seem to do it right, since we're not asphyxiating. Now, breathing right for proper oxygenation and prevention of side cramps or "stitches" is something totally different. Just came back from my daily walk, and today I tried to sustain proper breathing throughout the exercise.

The Now Habit14 May, 2011
I'm not even in the middle of this audiobook [http://www.audible.com/pd/ref=sr_1_1?asin=B002V8L1ES&qid=1305391635&sr=1-1], but I just learned a comparison the author made that I really wanted to share before I finish with it. Imagine you're given the task of crossing a board about 30 feet long, 4 inches thick and 1 foot wide placed on the ground. Would you dare?

Work like you Sleep07 May, 2011
Ok, I'm not going to tell you to work like you sleep in the sense of how much work you get done out of your sleep time. Actually, there is a much more interesting perspective to that relation. After watching this TEDx Midwest talk, I just confirmed what I always believed to be true but in a very well explained manner: Interrupting work is just like interrupting your sleep. With a 4 months old baby boy, I just realized how bad it is to your attempt to get some rest when you are interrupted 3 or

Just finished with listening to this Audiobook [http://www.audible.com/pd/ref=sr_1_1?asin=B002V57UX2&qid=1304775060&sr=1-1], and it was so amazing that I wanted to share it here in my blog. Drawn by my interest on Networks (no, I don't mean the computer networks here) and the science behind it, just decided to give a this book a try, and I was amazed on all the sorts of networks mentioned in this book and how they relate to each other.

Loyalty Mobile01 June, 2010
It looks like cell phones today have so many features that it is becoming less phone and more everything else. The new trend, when it comes to transforming your mobile phone into something else, is turning it into a Loyalty Card Collector. Startups like CardStar [http://www.mycardstar.com/] and CardBank [http://www.barcode2mobile.com/] already offer business a solution that uses barcodes to virtualize loyalty cards and store them in mobile phones. There are plenty of others, like Foursquare [htt

Software is not about code, but people and their desires10 July, 2007
Thinking that with a really optimized, organized and structured code you'll make your software the newest killer app ever? Been fast and stable is just a couple of the requisites users look for while choosing their software. Among all the requirements that users instinctively looks for in a software, usability is the most decisive of them.
