Need to make a decision quickly:
Should I keep the jewfro, or should I kill it?

Jewfro or not to fro?
This happened on my way to the dentist
True story: As I get on the elevator to head over to the dentist to get two fillings, I bump into Dan. He doesn’t look so good.
I ask him: “How are you?”.
He replies: “Terrible, I’m going home. I just went to the dentist and got two fillings. I don’t feel well at all”.
I can’t make this stuff up.
Will Palm survive?
After Palm announced terrible quartery results, the press is doubting their survival as a company. This is a shame, because in today’s smartphone world, it seems to me that Palm’s WebOS/Pre is the best product in the market after the iPhone.
Blackberries feel like Windows 3.1: ugly, outdated, unusable. I don’t understand why people love them so much. Windows Mobile attempts to cram a desktop UI into a 3 inch screen. My friend Luis had one and it took him 20 minutes to look anything up in the web. Android phones are like Linux: powerful, but only a techie could use it, if he wants to deal with the pain. I haven’t used a Nokia smartphone in years so I don’t know.
It’s just sad: A really nice product, only too little, too late. I’ll be surprised if they are still around a year from now. Some reading for those who care:
- Tech stocks slip as Palm shares plunge
- Coming Soon – Palm webOS™
Just announced, coming to AT&T, will this save them? - Who will buy Palm?
By Jean Louis Gassée, who has a very interesting story both similar and related to Palm’s with Be Inc. – so he has the experience. - RIP Palm: it’s over, and here’s why

SXSW 2010 Music Day 2 (More)
Hard to catch up with all the stuff I saw. Here are some more photos and videos from last Thursday at South By Southwest (Warning: Extreme close-ups). First, some photos of Ozomatli’s awesome dance circle finale, where they get off stage with the crowd. Then, if you read more, you can see to another video of Bajofondo and one of Ozomatli that didn’t make it into the last post.
SXSW 2010 Music Day 3
At this point I’m feeling the effects of two days of concerts plus longer than usual workdays. But I had to get back to Auditorium Shores to see a classic rock act.
Not only are they still alive and playing, but they currently have the Top Selling 8-track in the World! These guys were playing before I was born… I mean, I thought La Maldita Vecindad looked old but these people make them look like Hanna Montana. I only know a few of their songs yet it was a really good concert.
Video and the rest of the bands if you read more…

SXSW 2010 Music Day 1
SXSW is upon us. Last night the Music Festival got started (the Interactive and Film parts start earlier). On the first night I went dowtown with Eli to see the shows at Antone’s. The line was really long and we barely made it in. We only got to see the last two shows of the night. I apologize for the crappier-than-usual photos: I brought my pocket digital camera but not its memory card. I guess the camera wasn’t the only thing in need for better memory. So it’s all crappy iPhone photos/video.

Felipe Calderón and me
People think this was photoshopped*, but no: that’s really how big his head is.

I suspect this is used on me.
Trolololo
This latest internet meme is strangely relaxing, soothing… even hypnotizing. I find myself humming it non-stop. Trolololo!
