    Where forward thinking terrestrials share ideas and information about the state of the species, their planet and the universe, living the lives of science fiction. Introduction
    Featuring Powers of Ten by Charles and Ray Eames, based on an idea by Kees Boeke.
    Rafael Correa is the President of the Republic of Ecuador since january 2007. Ecuador has a twisted democratic history, and now, Rafael and his team are inmersed bringging some democratic instruments to the country to preserve and build a real democracy, and recently, the people have ratified his goverment.

    It's amazing how the new rissing democracies of latin america are focusing the new values of the socialism. A truly values that can, perfectly, inspire the big changes that nowadays are very usually on the news; the new capitalism, the new values for society to solve a crisis time...

    Correa have a very interesting interview one year ago, where he show how clear he have the values of the society, the reality of the press lobbies at Ecuador, the differences of the new and old socialism, the obligations of the state compensations… If you see all the 40 minutes you can discover a real politic of the XXI century. It’s amazing how poor countries are laying the foundations of the next real politics, and how the comradeship of the Latin America presidents building a serious alternative (or fixing some important themes) for the actual system.

    It’s becoming a real choice, and, almost, we must to hear about it.



    If you want to download the entire interview, click here.

    Related to this interview, I read this weekend the Zeitgeist manifesto, talking about the objective, and it’s encouraging how it’s been draw a real radiography of the problem, and with this blue print, how easy we can found a real solution for the evolution of society and the sustainable development.

    We intend to restore the fundamental necessities and environmental awareness of the species through the advocation of the most current understandings of who and what we truly are, coupled with how science, nature and technology (rather than religion, politics and money) hold the keys to our personal growth, not only as individual human beings, but as a civilization, both structurally and spiritually. The central insights of this awareness is the recognition of the Emergent and Symbiotic elements of natural law and how aligning with these understandings as the bedrock of our personal and social institutions, life on earth can and will flourish into a system which will continuously grow in a positive way, where negative social consequences, such as social stratification, war, biases, elitism and criminal activity will be constantly reduced and, idealistically, eventually become nonexistent within the spectrum of human behavior itself.

    This possibility is, of course, very difficult for most humans to consider, for we have been conditioned by society to think that crime, corruption and dishonesty is "the way it is" and that there will always be people who want to abuse, hurt and take advantage of others. Religion is the largest promoter of this propaganda, for the "us and them" or "good and evil" mentality promotes this false assumption.


    P.D.: Zeitgeist is a German expression that means Spirit (Geist) of the time (Zeit), and it’s directly connected with the idea of having conscientious of the present, like the only way to don’t do the same errors of the past and evolve as human thanks to collective memory.

    Last month, with the celebration of the third group's birthday, the people from the spanish mobile Adobe user group, were bussy preparing a day event at the Adobe offices at Barcelona. It was a good date, because the Mobile World Congress was just finished and we can meet with a lot of intenational friends.

    This time, the program was:
    - 3 years with Flash on devices (BlocketPC team)
    - Adobe Mobile Packager & distributable player (Mark Doherty)
    - Layout Manager (Marcos González)
    - Bussines chances: GetJar (Patrick Mork)
    - Feather Framework (Raúl Jimenez)

    This event was surprising, for us, and for the Adobe people because there was one with the best afluence, with more than 40 assistants.
    We made shirts, badges and there was a prize draw for a Nokia N71 and a Web Premium package.

    We hope that developers was inspired with the opportunities developing Flash content for mobile devices, the possibilities to sell his own content, and the use of our open source projects like Feather Framework and Layout Manager.

    The oficial site for the event.
    And the feedback post on the blog (with more images)

    P.D.: Oh yeah! our loved Ginno's was the perfect place for lunch :)

    3.0 for 2008 - Newly Revised Edition Created by Karl Fisch, and modified by Scott McLeod; Globalization & The Information Age. It was even adapted by Sony BMG at an executive meeting they held in Rome this year. Credits are also given to Scott McLeod, Jeff Brenman.



    We have a lot of homework, and every day, less time to do it. A wise vision will be doing things once in the correct way (don't waste time redoing things, because we haven't this time)

    "We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims"
    And my children says: Wow, nanotatoos!

    How we can focus the licit use of the technology?
    First of all, knowing the possibilities, and, after, ordening the priorities, lined up with the human knowing, not human entertainment.

    Inspiring video from Microsoft Office Labs published last week. It's is very hopefully to see how Microsoft is encouraging the clean and minimal UI, with a selected colour for every field. But, like always, 2019 is so far to see it in action, more if you think about the last devices with multitouch screens and Flashlite powered. Enjoy :)

    If you are interested on mobile devices and how this kind of devices or features are pushing out our free time and multitasking activities, you will be gratefully with this Xmas gift :·)

    From our Spanish Adobe’s user group, we will open an open source site for the developer community. Two projects focused on any device and designed to boost the user experience with the Adobe’s Flash technology.

    Feather Framework is a set of classes to improve the performance and it’s made to consume less memory for usually actions.

    Layout Manager is a set of classes to help developers to place and scale his content on any screen’s orientation, respecting the layout design.

    With these developments and the implementation of the Flash technology (helped with a new Intel chip) on any devices (phones, video games, TV, PVR), projects like these can start a discussions of how these future cognitive relations with this kind of devices (domotic systems) will be.

    All the documentation (English) and information here

    Back from my trip to New York, I could feel how the optimist and pride light the face of every New Yorker with the recent Obama’s selection.
    This is a good sensation and, to learn more about that, I decide to talk about Obama’s career with the people and to buy the issue of the month of the Time magazine (an historical number where Obama’s was selected the person of the year).

    "His genome is global, his mind is innovative, his world is networked, and his spirit is democratic"

    Reading the interview, and after the conversations about he, it’s amazing how the American people was open to concepts like the spirit of the work, competence and union like a great feature of humanity. Surprising for this days, when all the media is extending the individualism and the trivial concepts, every day more and more far of real human behaviors.

    You can read all the interview here.

    There is hope, and, obviously, there is real requirement of leaders with clear values, and courage to show the way for a nation. This new feeling is very important, that it means that the new blood that grows plenty of social preoccupations will have his place.
