e-competencies (english here). amazing networked translated live seminar. great stuff to think about. from where you´re at, what implications, aplications can apprehending this have for you? what ever you do.

The Jumping Frijoles

 improv acting group. went last night with fer. good times.

got diplomatized

today.
no, i´m not hanging it behind me. neither am i going to frame it. i don´t even have a cool chair to sit on.
this is just a beginning you see.

cheers.

Perspectiva 2.0

about this.

my machine

i use phones like i use underwear and socks, ´till disintegration.
no camera. no infrared. no bluetooth. no apps. no games. no color.
just huge blistered balls.
this is my machine.

today

i´m going back to uni to talk about marketing, media and comms. got invited by the professors that got me thinking in all this stuff in the first place, before i got a placement, was a trainee, junior copywriter, now a creative (this is because i think you´re supposed to be aware of everything, take risks and embrace opportunities to do and have fun, at work or not. i mean, do stuff you´re not going to get paid for, do it and enjoy it).
i´ve prepared something 2.0 focused, this doesn´t mean we´re not going to talk traditional, it´s the vertebrae of most of the things we do. but i want to talk about where i want to go, not where i´m at.
finishing up now, it´s in a couple of hours.
i´ll upload the ppp in a few days. thanks to Paul Isakson, Neil Perkin and Jerome Courtial for the great reads, everything i´m going to say, they said it first. cheers.
wish me luck.

oh, and today is Internet´s birthday.

 <3 you lot anyways.

you want to post something and you forget in the middle of the title.



i´m zombie, going to bed.

working on

comms for Rosario Blog Day 08.  , conferences about technology and communication tendencies.

*anyways, if i´m going to be working on telling a story about 2.0 might as well work it that way too. if you have any cool stories or experiences in which new tech (yes, twitter too) helped you or your professional self or your how-to-swing-the-iron-9-better-self or whatever write me at facuvsfacu@gmail.com. much appreciated.

on another note, i had my first new project proposal presentation yesterday, first client. went very well. adjusted some things today. it will be a very long project though, so nothing to see here for now.

oh and thanks to Nicky´s initiative, working on a political wiki to help Obama (we´re putting our dime there) in his first 100 days in office. Whatdowedonow? the idea is to create a collaborative place where proposals and discussions can arise, the rest is up to you . (yes, we believe we can do anything, everything with everyone anywhere FTW!).

please help me with the 2.0 thing*.

cheers!

i´ve been offered a

partnership to start a creative digital comms agency from scratch.

been really pushing towards something like that lately.

still a creative at the agency but also working on this project. regarding my other creative project with seba, i´m working on three things for it at the moment. so, i have a lot to do. thus, i won´t be posting for a while and if i do, it may suck.

oh, also been called to sign up for my posgraduate program on interactive digital comms specialization! AND been invited to give a chat at a marketing class at uni regarding virals. my first!

so all good for now.

back to work!

Kaiser Mix yesterday - signals to Marcus & peeps






Marcus did the Kaiser Mix (read this post). i didn´t do the VIP thing so i couldn´t chat, but i said what i wanted to say and these are the remains.

i left The Kaiser a comment:

marcus it was fucking amazing. it was 5 pm over here and i was a watching a bloke live drinking, smoking, DJing from some bar in munich. interacting (via paper signs since i couldn’t chat due to some vip thing) with other´s who were listening/watching like seb, mike, werbeblogger (with whom we did the simpson rave time). i was surprised there were so few of us at such an amazing event. i´m not saying you´re the first man on the moon but it was really inspiring to see this. in fact, i thought about it all night, while i cooked, while i showered. there´s a lot to do! and technology has nothing to with it. it´s what we do with it, like you, marcus, you crazy fuck. the sound was shit on yahoo, but it was better than i expected, i thought it was all going to be noise, white noise, due to the mic on where? your notebook? those are shit. here, you need channels, like a portastudio where you can stream the blip directly mix it with the bar ambiance from your mic and send it thought the yahoo stream. still you could hear the ambient in the bar and the girls or guys that approached you to say whatever. ok i´m ranting and i got distracted now. i´ll post this experience on my blog soon. too much work now. congrats marcus. inspite of the criticism, it was fucking AMAZING (and that´s the only adjetive i know) c ya!


he said:
Facu - thank you. thank you for last night. I’m really sorry about the chat - it was one of the things I buggered up really (VIP access I ask you!) but those signs you were holding up were bloody brilliant.

sorry for the lazy post.
cheers.

live blipping from a bar in Munich.
music will be blipped. you can suggest tunes via twitts (i did). if your tune goes on it will be on the playlist.
go kaiser!

just at the right time

i´m reading it

a friend lent it to me.
every night in bed, with my girl, we read a little of the Kama Sutra, like a bed time story. i really don´t care about the pictures, i think the interesting part of it is the filosofical side and how this culture thought of life and how to live it on earth.
ojo, we read it and i fall asleep. and that´s it. :S
