Este canto a Oshun will knock your socks off… If you have listen to this music before, let it sink in for a few minutes and enjoy the build and falling in a meditative trance. Ache!

this was a raw film about “el barrio” / east harlem when the big cats were are the helm of their careers. I am talking about legends such as Hector Lavoe, Larry Harlow, Ray Barretto, Cheo Feliciano y muchos mas…. I caught a little bit of the leftover of this movement in the mid and late 90s. A relic worth watching for all those latin music lovers.



This site is pretty cool. It allows you to create playlists and share them with your friends and public. What I don’t know is how they get the rights to so many songs…. they must have a deal with the right holders… very impressive as most of the tunes i searched for were free to listen to and to download.

I have been thinking about how to best utilize kinetic energy in our daily lives. Probably most people got their first kinetic led flash lights for xmass this year - i got 2 and gave 3! Anyway, my thoughts have been focused on the plethora of chargers we need nowadays to charge up our cellphones, ipods, psps, etc… If you can charge an LED flash light why not charge your phone? We should not depend on electrical outlets if we are able to transfer unused kinetic energy and put it to a good use.

What I would like to see in the coming years is a kinetic gadget that will eliminate the need for conventional chargers. By strapping it to your arm, leg or simply nestling it in your pocket, this green device will maintain all of your portable electronics energized. The idea being that we create energy by moving our body parts but once it is used it gets dissipated into thin air. This green charger will transfer the energy generated by our muscles and converted in 9volt current.

Maybe there are engineers out there that can give me a better understanding on how this could be done. I have seen some instances of this technology, but take a look a this industrial designer’s vision. That’s what I am talking about!

Howdeo.tv has a new look. Still working on new functionality that will enable the site to be more communal and generate the stickiness needed.  howdeo.gif

Pretty amazing stuff. These photos would usually get deleted. Now they can be saved after quickly editing them on flickr.

Lukas quiere mas


paquetes paquetes y mas paquetes… que envidia luni… entres los regalos “cool” hay una camarita digital la cual ya lleva a todos lados!


This is not what you call the best quality pic… used my 8525 with very little light and no flash… The original looked completely shaded but after I doctored the image with flickr’s picknic software I was able to bring the image to life….

About the image: Lukas and Luna periodically sneak out the apartment and hide in the hallway… of course they are half naked and rob me or mami’s shoes… it’s just a lot of fun, specially when I am out to get them.


Man this is going to be a long lasting friendship. Lucien lives a few buildings away from each other and he is starting to feel like a brother for Luni and Lukis.


Luna y lukas tienen una relacion fenomenal. Claro, se pelean como cualquier nino, pero siempre resuelven y se besan de esta manera.
