New Group on Facebook!! This guy needs a job!!



The idea is to find a Job. Everybody can join it. Let's pass this event thru Facebook so this guy will find sooner or later a job in Zurich.

Name of the Event: This Guy Needs a Job!!

This Cow needs your help!!


This poor cow needs help. Apparently came to Zurich trying to become Swiss. The grass in her country was not good enough and came to Switzerland for a better life.

The only problem is that this cow doesn't speak others cows language so nobody wants to give her a piece of land to walk.

For that reason her milk is becoming soar and sooner or later life will be really difficult for her. Tomorrow will have no piece of land where to rest. And without piece of land where to sleep and no milk to give she will slightly die in the streets of Zurich.

For that reason we are creating the platform "Cows For Jobs" where all the cows can give their milk away. This cow is called Cirilya and came with his best buddy: a graphic designer who cannot help her either because he has no job a no place to live. They both are asking for help, for jobs in Zurich as a cow and in the case of the Graphic Designer who is called Pablo, any kind of job.

They both are really happy because now is Spring and it's not so cold but they don't have any idea what to do in the next fall. They have experience in Los Angeles where was warm but the grass where not good enough. Here the grass is so good but no one wants to give them a piece.

Either Pablo or Cirilya know that Swiss people are great and really smart. So Give Cirilya a piece of grass and you will have milk in a glass! Give Pablo a work to do and you'll find out he'll do it smooth!!

They hope heard from you!!
Cheers!!!

Unas palabritas a Sinde

La verdad es que soy dado a la palabra facil y a la prevaricacion. Me gusta el chismorreo y la tertulia. Para ser sincero estaba esperando a ver que escribia Perez-Reverte del asunto pero anda ocupado con sus peliculas en "deuvede" (sigo pensando que es mas facil y mas correcto decir DVD) del ano del catapun.

Cetrandonos en el caso que nos ocupa la tarde de hoy Domingo, sin preocuparnos de que paso ayer en el futbol o esta manana en China, quiero mostrar mi mas profundo desacuerdo con la decision de nombrar como Ministra de Cultura a uno de los maximos exponentes de la Industria cultural.

Esta senorita y su tropa han decidido simple y llanamente joder a los "usuarios". No solamente tenemos el caso SGAE donde tenemos que pagar por los CD's, reproductores y demas filigranas sino que ademas si tenemos un bar hay que pagar derecho de reproduccion. A ver, no he pagado ya con el canon del CD y reproductor? Es algo que nunca llegare a entender. Luego tenemos el caso del Cine Espanol. Tenemos un porcentaje de dinero que va destinado a este arte (no lo llamare industria porque en Espana no lo es, son gente subvencionada) por parte del Gobierno de Espana y por parte de ayudas Europeas. Todo ese dinero no sale sino del bolsillo de los ciudadanos. Es es el primer punto.

Un segundo punto viene de cuando la Guerra de Irak. Y que tiene eso que ver? Bueno, lo tiene. Ciertos actores creen que fue gracias a ellos por lo que cientos de miles de ciudadanos salieron a la calle a protestar por la incursion de Espana en la Guerra de Irak. Bueno, nunca fue asi. Los ciudadanos salimos a la calle porque no nos daba la gana que en nuestro nombre fueran los soldados pero todavia hoy ciertos grupos de actores creen que fue gracias a ellos.

Este ultimo punto lo han tomado como si estuvieran legitimados a hacer cuanto se le antoje. En este punto entra en escena la nueva Ministra de Cultura. Se cree legitimada a hacer lo que se le antoje. De hecho ya ha entrado en declaraciones diciendo que los usuarios de internet no deberian de estar preocupados. A ver, de verdad se piensan que los usuarios somos estupidos o gilipollas? No va a haber campana de comunicacion alguna que remedie la negacion del gobierno de hacer las cosas por los ciudadanos. No va a haber campana de comunicacion alguna que nos haga ver a Sinde como la buena de la pelicula. No va a haber campana de comunicacion alguna que haga que los usuarios nos pongamos del lado de esta senorita.

Otra cosa que deberia de cambiar es la denominacion. Estoy mas que cansado de la "pirateria". Yo no estoy robando a nadie por descargar una pelicula o un CD. Lo que estoy haciendo es no aportar a la industria discografica y no ayudar a los subvencionados. Se piensa que la culpa de que ya no sean tan ricos ni gusten de una posicion tan alta como antano es por culpa de Internet y las nuevas tecnologias. Las crisis en los diferentes sectores siempre guardan relevancia. Las discograficas y el cine ha estado chupando la sangre y la tinta de escritores, actores, directores, cantantes, musicos y demas coplas que ahora lloran y echan la culpa del que todavia saben que pueden sacar algo: de los ciudadanos. El problema es que los politicos los han creido y hay una guerra abierta contra el ciudadanos medio.

No se trata de que nos eduquen como consumidores responsables como se ha odio por algunas esferas, se trata de que mas les vale parar de tocar tanto los cojones.

Media Tree



How to create a nice tree like this? Is kind of easy. We just need some pictures .
First the tree and the grass.




After that we need to crop the tree. You can do it either with the pen tool or the lasso tool.
Once we have the tree and the grass what we need the computer, the TV, the radio, the Mp3 player and the speakers.

In order to create a nice design and not too fake we need to crop a little bit the devices. We need to create a nice atmosphere.



Like that the tree surround the device and the Mp3 player seems that belongs to the tree, as a fruit and not just an image putted there.

We need also to retouch some things as the curves and the Saturation of some images.



After that we will have the final result that we can see below:

Be smart, get start!


There is a moment in life when you decide to live by your own. It can be a meditate decision or it can be as I did, crazy shit that may report me way too many problems in future but at least now I'm freaking happy.

I remember when I was living in Spain, there was this TV show about cocking. The guy said that with the same ingredients we can prepare some good stuff without expending a lot of money. I don't even have a house to live so this point is key for me. I don't want to suffer again as I did in Belgium eating bread and beer for two months because I didn't have any money. Now it's different, I don't have any money (attention! people from Zurich that want to hire me I will more than glad, I'm even attending German classes) but I'm way more mature than before.

I was sailing the net this morning and I found a lot of websites where you can find basic receipts with no more than four or five ingredients. I encourage you guys to try it. Stop eating pasta all the time. Specially for those of you who are living with a partner. Tonight my chick is coming to my place (attention! people from Zurich I also need an apartment and everything is just way so expensive, I have to leave this place the 22nd) and I'm going to prepare some meat, smashed potatoes and steamed broccoli). Everything for less than 20 Francs (like USD 15). I hope she'll enjoy and of course you guys, be careful with the health and try to be imaginative. With not too much you can have a lot, specially in theses times of global financial crisis.

So be smart, get start! (nice slogan, huh?)
Enjoy!
