iPad. How Many Half-Truths and Justifications are Made in your Name…
Since this Apple table arrived, there’s been many hours wasted trying to justificate reasons to buy the gadget. Apart from the lucky ones of us who doesn’t have to back the buy with valid reasons, the rest is in search of that elusive killer app that makes your significant other (or annoying friend): “Oh! So that’s why you bought it!”. Alas, it seems that app is stil waiting to be found. There’s a saying that the fun part is not the destination, but the trip. So lets read some of the ideas surfacing daily trying to turn the owner in a more productive being using this noble device.
I was reading an article named “How I Use My iPad to Get Work Done”. Short but useful, and I found an app I didn’t know named “iThoughts HD” for mind maps. Short but interesting article.

9-11 8 Years Since
Attacks on WTC in NY on Sep 11 2001
Es de esas cosas que pasan, y recuerdas perfectamente qué hacías esa mañana, cómo reaccionaste y qué hiciste el resto del día. Te marca toda la vida un suceso. Después de eso, entiendo cuando preguntaban a otra generación “¿Dónde estabas cuando mataron a Kennedy?” refiriéndose al magnicidio ocurrido en Dallas en los 60s.
Desgraciadamente, ser usada como pretexto para una guerra emprendida equivocadamente contra Iraq por un grupo de gente en el poder en aquellos años ha empañado de algún modo todas esas historias de acciones heróicas alrededor de la caída de esas torres. Recordemos también que el primer pueblo que salió a solidarizarse con los EUA y hacer una vigilia con velas fue… Irán.
Muchas cosas que comentar, pero, ¿cuáles son tus recuerdos de ese día?

Since the beginning I wanted to do this blog in Spanish and English. Now that I saw how to do it, here it is for all of you to see. Please excuse the lack of translation for older articles, if you see them in spanish, I’ll translate them as soon as I can.
