Wanna Know What People Are Thinking? »

Simon too, so he decided to interview 150 strangers he found in the streets of New York and Copenhagen and create The Thought Project.

He just stopped these men and women in the middle of the street, asked them what they were thinking one second before meeting him and took a picture. He used a microphone to record everything and published exactly what they said.

It’s an amazing idea: knowing what people are thinking just by asking them. Gosh, sometimes I think humans are so special and unique, well at least until they start doing stupid things, like they are so used to.

Well, and what were you thinking one second before reading this?

Sharing Pictures of How We Work »

I thought it would be fun to share this picture of my cousin Ricardo and I during a hard day at the job … well … actually we were playing Starcraft but it looks like we are working, right?

It was taken a couple of years ago and included in one of the mockups for the design of our current site. However some ladies said a photograph of one guy with no shirt in a web agency site could be a little shocking … I don’t know, we always work shirtless anyway! I don’t see how a shirt could influence in a web development project.

Picture of Ricardo and Alexis Working

I think it’s kinda of artistic, don’t you? I’m the one on the left with the two monitors setup, the same I’m still using to post this.

Feel free to comment and include one picture of you or your team working (linked with an img tag to your server and 350 or less pixels wide please) .

I See an iPod in My Future »

Long time I don’t post here, and now that I do it is to write, again, about winning an iPod. The good news is that I’m about to get mine.

When I first signed up at FreeiPods I never thought that a post in the blog would be enough to get my referrals, well, I was mistaken. I have already four people who signed up and completed an offer, I only need one more sign up to get the iPod.

I was thinking how I could get that last sign up, started reviewing my server access logs and noticed that Forums Ventanazul were getting many hits (even more than the home page and the blogs), so I designed a banner:

How to Win an iPod

Well, what do you think? Will I get my preciousss … err … I mean, my iPod?
