I've been working out and training hard for the past few weeks trying to get to run non-stop for 6 miles. Today, I've finally got there! It feels great and I'm sooo happy I wanted to share my new achievement with y'all.So, anyway, my first milestone was to run 5 miles. Six miles was my second milestone. The ultimate goal I want to achieve is to run my first 10K race before the end of this year.

I've originally created this blog as a replacement to my old personal webpage, which was no longer online, and to keep in touch with my family and friends and post a few unrelated articles here and there, from time to time.I've loved the idea, because it would allow me to very easily update the site -as opposite to maintaining a full website-, but then I've found myself trapped because I didn't

As you already know, I enjoy reading about entrepreneurship. It keeps excersising my brain and at the same time inspiring me with fresh ideas that pop up in my head while going through the text.One of the blogs I try to keep up with is Seth Godin's blog. Seth is, without any doubts, an authority on the information age entrepreneurship and marketing world.Having done some open source projects

A good friend of mine is gonna be riding the Tour de Cure, a riding event between Austin and San Antonio, for his second time. The Tour de Cure by the American Diabetes Association is a great fund-raising event with a very important cause: to help people learn more about the dissease, while at the same time help finding a cure for it. My friend is, naturally, helping rising funds as well. Should

Two Saturdays ago (Apr 29th), we went to the lake with some of my best friends to start-up the season and enjoy from the beautiful weather in Austin, TX. The lake offers some very inspiring sights, plenty of relaxation and some nice (although just a bit cool in Apr) water to jump on.Sizhu took these pics with his 2MP cell phone camera. Not bad!!

There is a new blog out there in the blogsphere. But this an interesting one :-).It's about Arts & Entertainment in Austin, TX. And it is in Spanish. Yes, in Spanish. Written by and for the Latinamerican community in and around Austin, TX.If you live in or around Austin, then you should really visit Tu Austin.

I know, I know ... I haven't been blogging for a while. Well, I always come back with a good excuse, right? :-) Anyway...Its been a few weeks since I've started taking jazz piano lessons with Eddie Hobizal. We've been working on some jazz theory and also on a few bossa tunes like "Song For My Father", "Girl from Ipanema" and some others too.Eddie is such a great teacher. I'm really excited about

So I've just finished reading another entrepreneurship book: Bootstrapping your business. The book is loaded with interesting ideas and examples from the real world. It is also quite inspiring.Since I've liked the bootstrapping chapter in The Art of the Start, I decided to go ahead and read this book, which is 100% focused on bootstrapping. It was interesting to compare the similarities and

A good friend of mine sent me (sometime back in '05) a link to the complexification gallery of computation. The site is loaded with plenty of amazing, mathematically complex computer-generated art. Being a hobbiest musician and a computer science guy that likes math, I was really impressed and inspired at the same time. As it turns out, some of the art there was done using Processing, and some

I know, I know... I haven't blogged in a while. One of the reasons behind this is that I've been busy setting up (one more time) my small digital home studio.The studio is not yet 100% set up. However, I've found that this is generally the case. I'm always connecting things some different way, changing, updating or adding hardware, breaking things, moving things around, unplugging cables, etc. So

On the first year of my Computer Engineering studies at ITBA, I took the "Formacion General" coursework, which I'd translate into "General Knowledge". Altough this was regarded as an easy, general course among the young students, I've always enjoyed those classes and pay special attention to Professor Roberto Devoto crystal-clear, inspiring insights on diverse topics such as history and society,

Ooops ... I did it again. This one, by Jerry Weinberg. A paradoxical way to define him? hmm ... I'm not that good. So I'll just say he's the extreme opposite of that girl that "sings" the phrase out there.Jerry's writing is down-to-earth and, I must admit, fun as hell. The content is great and even if he's written this book quite a while ago, its not outdated at all. In other words, this is,

I'm now back in Austin, TX and have just finished reading The Art of the Start, by Guy Kawasaki about a week ago.Back in the end of year 2000, I co-founded a company named Tuxar. We were providing simple IT consulting services, mostly based around the Linux operating system and some other open-source projects such as Apache, qmail, PHP, MySQL, etc. We had a few good accounts and we did pretty

2005 has been such a terrific year. I hope y'all have enjoyed as much as I did. I'm very grateful to be able to spend this time of the year together with my family, here in Argentina. Not to mention the weather! :-).I'm also grateful to have so many great friends like you, and everywhere around the world! Being so far away from most of you, I also remember the good times we've all spent together

Hola a todos! Welcome to my blog. This is so exciting!!! My very first blog posting ... It's a bit late now to tell everybody Merry Christmas, so I'll wait for New Year's eve.This feels like a story I'll someday find myself telling to a teenager who will laugh at me saying something in the lines of " ... and that [blogging] was cutting-edge high-tech by then? ... wow ..." let's just remember how
