Palm Pre

Tengo una facinación con el Palm Pre. Es un teléfono que me llama la atención y llega a la venta nada más que 6 meses desde que Sprint y yo acabamos nuestra reación y me moví al iPhone. Ahora falta que el Pre sea el teléfono de mis sueños (tengo mis reservas con el iPhone) y me arrepienta de haber firmado un contrato de 2 años con AT&T.

Anyway, ya se ha anunciado el lanzamiento del Palm Pre en EU para Junio 6 pero se sabe ahora que ya hay Palm Pre’s sueltos por ahí ya que se están empezando a ver impresiones de anuncios del browser del Palm Pre en los reportes de anuncios en algunos ad networks.

Me enteré por Engadget.


Film Students, Stop Whining And Use The Internet

Note: This started as a simple post of this video that I found and wanted to share and has turned into something else.

Sometimes in Puerto Rico I hear a lot of people complaining about how it is so hard to produce a quality short or movie. I hear about budget issues and distribution issues, etc.

Then I see people like Peter Roe who lives in England and is an avid fan of 3D and CGI, who decided to work on his own project and distribution of a small reel of the little projects he decided to do on his spare time. He is not alone; there’s a lot of people like Peter that have been able to do masterpieces that, although have not made it to the “big screen”, have found large audiences online, where distribution is plenty cheap and easy (and global!).

And I begin to think of how is it that I see these people complaining. Could it be that they are not creative enough to come up with great ideas? Or maybe they have been trained in the old ways of “movie making” where you have to have a big “budget” and a “crew”?

With all this technology and tools freely available to all (like Linux, Blender, Vimeo, etc.), why is it that I can’t find a single Peter Roe in Puerto Rico?

Ok, enough rant, here’s his work:
