This whiteboard is hanging very close to my office. It used to be mostly blank (except for the RF Group title, which is the group behind this column) for a long time, until someone wrote "Hello" on it. It then quickly evolved as people added their language of choice to it, including some very clever entries such as Vulcan and C++ (but no Klingon!).
There are other not so clever entries… such as "Mexican" and "Real Mexican". I don’t know who the comedic genius that wrote those is (not me) but I have a pretty good idea of whom it may have been.

This morning they published a nice article on El Norte (largest newspaper in Monterrey) about my little brother Moi (the one that turned out ok) and his latest project. You probably won’t be able to see it though because the geniuses at El Norte require an expensive registration in order to read the articles. Besides the fact that they misspelled my last name everytime, the article is very nice and there’s even a not so short video (sorry, no porn) about it. I’ll try to link to the video and a mirror of the article, but I can’t promise anything.
I could go ice skating in the street right now. Cars are covered by a centimeter of ice. This is not something that happens every day in Austin, Texas.
Walter Gaitan disputes the ball with Guillermo Franco in the last edition of the “Clásico Regiomontano” which Monterrey won 2-1. Tomorrow and Saturday, the two teams meet again, this time in the semifinal. Monterrey has not lost in the last 15 games and has won a record 7 straight away games. Tigres qualified to the playoffs undeservedly (Chiapas had 3 points taken away due to a rule) but came back from a 3-1 defeat at home in the first game of the semifinal to beat top ranked America 4-1 in their own Azteca stadium. The last (and only other) time the two teams met in playoffs was 2003. Monterrey won the semifinal 5-3 (global) and later won the final to become champions after 17 years.
[Update 12/7/2005] Tigres wins 1-0 the first game. Monterrey now has to win at home in order to make it to the final.
Last Saturday, I had to go down to watch the game between Monterrey and America.
Monterrey won (obviously) by a wide margin: 4-1.
Ex-fan of America and newly rayado Mauricio Capistran (Picho) stoically paid the bet between us by wearing Monterrey’s shirt all day at work. To make things worse, the shirt says Bimbo – a sure way of getting people to ask you why you’d wear such shirt.
Please note the flag in the back of the picture. We promptly proceeded to burn it.
