The Year of the Rat

By admin | Published: October 29, 2007

I love this guy. Lately I’m discovering columnists for magazines that I never considered reading to be really compelling and entertaining. First Chuck Klosterman with Spin and Esquire and now Matt Taibbi with Rolling Stone. Check it out:

Flickr Mashup Idea

By admin | Published: October 25, 2007

I have been formulating an idea over the past few months around using flickr’s search/tag system to create a browse-by-relevance experience. Meaning that the starting point for the user’s experience is an image of theirs, and from there they may choose to visualize other flickr users’ images that share the same tags/set/image names. So if [...]

This is Not a Manifesto

The problem with advertising is that it’s only goal is to get in my way – to act as an obstruction between me and the media I want. Probably because Ad Agencies know by doing that I have to pay attention to their ads. If advertising had a human age and development level it’d be [...]

A New Obsession

Toward the end of my stay in Galicia I was able to participate in the wine harvest. Galicia is most known for their Albariño grape, but we harvested Catalán grapes as well. After almost cutting off my finger with a clipper here is some video of the process:

Once every year Christian pilgrims converge on Santiago de Campostela in Galicia for the festival Día de Santiago. Most walk from other parts of Spain and even France to retrace the steps of religious pilgrims long ago. The whole festival concludes with a huge fireworks display in front of the cathedral. And some video of [...]

Aquariums in Galicia

By admin | Published: October 22, 2007

For some reason Liz and I kept going to Aquariums in every town we visited. I can’t tell you the last time I went to one in the states so maybe thats why I gravitated so strongly to them in Spain. Since Galicia has such a strong fishing industry, and they’re known for their seafood, [...]

Killing Bulls

By admin | Published: October 22, 2007

While in Spain I had the pleasure of seeing a bullfight in the Plaza de Toros in Pontevedra. I really thought that I would have much more of a problem with the whole thing but I didn’t. It’s sad when they kill the bull at the end for sure, but that meat is some of [...]
