Trip to Switzerland

Do you want to see how good the N95 can take pictures? Be my guest and look at them in Flickr.

Seasteading

The whole idea really reminds me of what grandpa Leo Savinski wrote back in World War II, “Kingdom of Intelligence and Joy” (plain translation from the original russian edition here.

I’ll be investigating this Institute further.

My new phone and all-in-one-gadget

Well, I finally upgraded my all-in-one-gadget to the almost perfect Nokia N95-3!

What can I say that it is not already on the net about it?

-GPS
-wi-fi
-Bluetooth
-microSD (I bought a 8 Gb one, later I will review it)
-5 Mpix camera
-VGA video with 30 fps
-2.6″ screen with autorotation (thanks to RotateMe)
-Symbian OS with all imaginable applications

I’ll start to review some apps and features as times let me.

Geek 2.0

I really liked this description. It definitely describes myself on the 2.0 version… What about you?

My PC Desktop

My first trip to the States

My workteam and I went to Cincinnati, OH, last week, so it was my first time there. I have to say that everything seems huge there: cars, parking lots, buildings, just everything! The bad thing is it seems that BestBuy and CircuitCity are not the right place to buy all my geek stuff (8 Gb SDHC cards, for example, or a PowerBooster cable for the WD Passport external Drives).

I think next time, I’ll buy everything online and just send the stuff to my hotel.

New Sections

I am officially opening two new sections of this blog:

Applications: reviews and comments on all portable applications I usually use

Firefox: all tweaks, extensions and files to make firefox as useful as I can

Enjoy!

Well, at home we do not have a great speed, but this is the latest result from dslreports:

Not bad for Buenos Aires!

Is Microsoft dying?

I’ve read many posts lately with this title: Microsoft is dying. From many points of view it’s true.

When was the last time that Company came out with something really innovative? XGL would be considered as a graphical enhancement, but come on: Aero in Vista does not count.

Here you will find a couple of very good posts about this:
