El centro de entretenimiento perfecto

El título de este artículo suena mucho mejor en inglés, pero ese es el precio que tengo que pagar, desde que decidí escribir en español.
Les presento mi nuevo centro de entretenimiento, que lejos de ser perfecto si está increible:

Televisión LCD de 42 pulgadas Westinghouse (VK-42F240S)
Mac Mini (MB138LL/A)
Amplificador Onkyo (TX-LR552)
Bocinas Wharfedale (Diamond 9.2)
Subwoofer JBL (PowerBass PB10)

High dynamic range (HDR) imaging

High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging is the process of taking several pictures of the same subject with different exposures and then combining all of them to produce an image with a wide range of intensity levels.

New President, new look

I’m so happy Barack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States that I went ahead and updated my blog look.

Taking doodling one step up

I have to admit it: I am a doodler. I’ve done it since I was in elementary school, I did it in high school, college and I still do it at work. Wikipedia argues that doodling happens to students during boring classes. I don’t think that is my case: when I’m doodling at work I [...]

Let’s get virtual

Almost a year ago I was posting about my new MacBook and how I installed Bootcamp in it to try it out. It was a fun test although I have only launched my Windows XP partition a couple of times in the past year. There is nothing I cannot run in OS X so having [...]

The DJ has a new toy

Back in 2004 when I first created Chichipanguanorrea I chose Fotopic as the solution for sharing my pictures. The interface was ugly but uploading the pictures was very easy [...]

Wordpress 2.5 upgrade

I’m not going to give you all the nasty details, but I just updated Chichipanguanorrea 3.0 to use Wordpress 2.5 and it wasn’t a smooth upgrade.
Anyway finally I got everything back in order so you (and the other 4 readers) can continue enjoying the Chichipanguanorrea sensation.

The salt and the condiments: a true story

Salt loves to play with its favorite orange ball, not because it reminds it of its ING bank account or its previous job at Arthur Andersen. Salt simply loves the orange ball. So when I saw those stupid condiments taking the orange ball from salt, I felt really sad.
Things will never be the same for [...]

Writing in the middle of nowhere

It is 8:52pm on a monday of 2008 and I just challenged myself to write a post for my blog using a trial version of the application WriteRoom. I read about this application last night on Slashdot when some people were complaining that text editors like Microsoft Word are cluttered with so many user [...]
