If you think that the introduction of iTunes for Windows was a big deal, or that the switch to Intel was earth-shattering, think again. Apple has done the unthinkable: they released a computer mouse with more than one button. And it’s very, very nice. The scroll wheel looks very handy, and you can configure it as a one-button mouse if you want to.
What will they think of next? A small cube-shaped computer? A color iPod?
No mention of this anywhere on the website now. Anyway, I thought it’s interesting. Sadly, either my security is too tight or nobody cares about hacking The Marcos Kirsch Experience
Now that iTunes supports music videos directly, I have wrapped the classic and hillarious All your base video inside a Quicktime file so that you can add it to your Library and play it in your next rave. Chicks dig it. Exclusively for the lovable yet inadequate techno loving geek inside you. Download here.
Damn it. As you can see, the .Mac sidebar thingie is broken, so there are no links to my .Mac albums on this page for now. This happened because Apple changed the way they generate the album pages. I need to fix it, but I don’t know how soon it’ll happen.
[Update 7/19/2005] There is also a warning at the top of the page. Man I suck! [Update 7/24/2005].Mac sidebar has been fixed. You can now see the links to the albums directly over there.
This past weekend, Carlos, Ruben, Jaramillo and I went to Houston to watch the quarter final match between Mexico and Colombia in the 2005 Gold Cup.
Unlucky weekend: Mexico lost 2-1. I lost the coin-toss to see who drives from Austin to Houston. And despite our best efforts (see picture above) we could not make it on TV. Those “lucky socks” I was wearing turned out not to be so lucky. I’ll have to go back to my unwashed lucky underwear (damn it!).
The trip was a lot of fun though, we got to see many people and went out to the new Planeta Bar-Rio which is exactly like another Bar in Monterrey…
I have posted two albums with pictures from the trip: see photos and more photos. I’m still waiting on more pictures taken by Jaramillo and Gustavo.
I got to see Café Tacuba today live in the small TV studio where they shoot the famous Austin City Limits show. Front row… Tune in to see me jumping to the tune of “La Chica Banda”.Oh yeah, and I have tickets for their concert tomorrow.
(Thanks to Jaramillo who went early and got in line to get the tickets)
Update 7/12/2005: Just returned from the concert. It was much longer and better…
I haven’t posted in about two weeks. Bad Marcos! I don’t want this blog to become a digital ghost town. I have just been way too busy. I moved last week so the week before and after have been about that (and work, of course). This long weekend I could stay and do some more work in my new place but instead I’m going to go to Monterrey.
More about "The Lair/La Guarida" in a future post.
PS: Thanks to everybody that helped with the move – especially my mom, Moi and my cousin Jacobo (official water boy). Without them, I would still be surrounded by boxes.
