Wax on, wax off
Moises-san has pointed the way to a new off-broadway musical, based on the smash hit movie from the 80’s The Karate Kid.
It’s Karate, Kid! the Musical (that’s how they punctuate it) will open soon in NY. It looks at least as bad as it sounds (it sounds very bad). Check out the main theme: Wax on, wax off.
Deep inside, I hope this is all a big hoax. But sadly it looks real.
Christmas vacation
I just had two days off from work because of Christmas.
This year, I did not follow the Christmas custom of going to the movies and eating chinese food.
Instead I went to Houston on Thursday (Rony Levinson was in town), and him, David, Betty and I went to one of those parties they have every year.
Then we drove back to Austin for another one of such parties and to play FIFA (mostly to play FIFA).
note to self: I’m no longer undisputed king, I must practice, defeat gives me shilshul.
Then we drove back to Houston for yet another one of these parties. Which actually turned out to be a lot of fun.
The “can’t get much lower than this” highlight of the night: A vietnamese dude showing off his calf in a Starbucks at 3:00 AM. Although it might have been a nightmare. I’m not sure anymore.
As a closing thought for this post, I want to say that whoever I told what I was doing (the back and forth traveling thing) would ask me the same thing: “Why would you do that?”. I wish I had a penny for every time I heard that. But even more so, I wish I had an answer.

Google Suggest
Google released a beta of Google Suggest in which you type your search term and it shows you in real time suggestions. Try it, it’s cool (but ultimately useless – if you are searching for something you already know what it is before you start typing).
And of course, for Firefox users, you can already download a plugin to get this same thing in the search box in the Firefox toolbar.
Yo-yo au-naturel
I just spent 1 hour completely naked playing with my new wooden-axle proyo yo-yo (redefining the term “Extreme yo-yo”).Click here for some pictures. Continue reading Yo-yo au-naturel
iTunes milestone
No, this is not about iTunes selling 200 million songs.
It’s about me having listened to every song in my iTunes playlist at work at least once.
That is, as of today at 1:52 PM, 3708 songs, that can be played without repeating for 10 days, 22 hours, 7 minutes and 57 seconds (give or take). For those who care, that’s 17.36 GB worth of music.
Monterrey Campeón
I just posted some pictures from the final in the Tecnológico Stadium where Monterrey flipped the 2-1 score against them and defeated Hugo Sanchez’s Pumas to become the champions of the Apertura 2004 tournament.
�Duro Rayados!

Guillermo Franco celebrates his third goal against Pumas in the final
Franco can’t contain his tears of joy while Urdiales stares in desbelief at the new champions.


People went to the streets to celebrate the championship.
Team members on their way to pick up their trophy.
Herrera’s short career as a coach has given him his first championship.

Which one should I get (both?). Decisions decisions decisions.
