Pañuelo y corbata.

Quince pesos de tela y un rato de trabajo. Cómo te quedó el ojo Gucci?

Lazy afternoon at the foundry.

It's not my fault if you start caring about grid systems, typefaces or history of writing instruments.
Design Fundamentals for Developers (MIX09):
The best three hours I spent this weekend. This is a workshop given by Robby Ingebretsen. Check out his original post at http://nerdplusart.com/mix09-design-fundamentals-for-developers and grab the videos and slides from:

Part 1: Process
Part 3: Composition
Part 3: Visuals

Design Fundamentals for Developers: Slides

Random snippets:
The process of design is used to bring order from chaos and randomness.
Sorta like art & has a black shirt.
The alternative to good design is bad design, not no design at all (Douglas Martin).
Authenticity is invaluable; originality non-existant (Jim Jarmusch).
There is no color that is better than black. [...] To me, black is black and red is color. (Massimo Vignelli).

Typography in 8 and 16 bit systems:

Making pcb’s at home for profit and not dying while doing so.

A brief rehashing of things I learned from making electronic devices for a living (or so I tell myself). More stuff you already know after the jump.

Looks nice, eh? I made it with my bare hands.

Repercusiones de Guitarra Vas a Llorar

El jueves con los compañeros de Crear estuvimos en la CISL con nuestra charla. Es de no creer que gente del público en tiempo real twiteaba y subía la charla a youtube entre otras cosas.

Self Test

Some swiss dude, a couple of ladies and a bunch of standardized tests seem to think that I'm an INTJ.

Camino a la CISL 2011

En unas horitas me voy a la Conferencia Internacional de Software Libre a presentar con los Compañeros de Crear el prototipo de nuestro último proyecto, "Guitarra Vas a Llorar".

La idea central es agregar un dispositvo electrónico a una guitarra estándar capaz de mostrar acordes, escalas y canciones sobre el diapasón. Mediante LEDs (diodos emisores de luz) se indicará en donde el guitarrista debe apoyar sus dedos. El funcionamiento se completa con dos alternativas de uso:

  •  Manual: Uso de una botonera y un pequeño LCD desde donde se podrá seleccionar que mostrar sobre el diapasón de la guitarra (escalas, notas, acordes )
  •  Automática: Conectarla mediante un cable USB a la computadora. Y a través de un software reproducir una canción, lección de estudio o una secuencia de acordes y que ésta se muestre en la guitarra.
