Earth Hour 2008
Tomorrow Saturday March 29th, at 8pm local time, switch off your lights for one hour to make a stand against global warming. The idea came form Sydney, Australia where in 2007 thousands of people turned of the light. Here is a video

Baja SAE Rochester 2007, a story from an unattending team
Maybe you can remember some of my past posts regarding the "intention" of the Baja SAE Anahuac Team of participating in the Baja SAE Rochester 2007 competition.
First, let me talk about why it turned from a goal, to an intention, to a deception. Some of you may know about it, some of you don't. The team was on time (not on schedule) to finish the vehicle and compete in Rochester. So, why did the team didn't go to the competition? We had a setback. The captain of the team couldn't keep up with the needs of the team and his school needs. So the captain decided to pull back his efforts on the team and the car in order to focus on his academic activities and to maintain his scholarship. You see, in our current team structure and status the captain is the person within the school team (that means to leave the advisors behind) more knowledgeable about the project and, therefore, the responsible of getting the things done. So when you have a captain that can't maintain the effort and momentum of the team, things start falling appart.
It is a pity that we didn't assist to the competition. It is a pity because we were capable of doing so, capable of returning to an international event and getting a good result. It is another story and another deception in the book for our team, we have had a few along our history (see MBQ2003, MBQ2004, MB100, and MBQ2006).
So, what's in store for the team? you ask. First is a s-l-o-w summer period with little to none work done. Then we have the responsibility of finishing the car for the Baja SAE Mexico 2007 competition, 148 days away from today (17-19 November, 2007). And hopefully have a car for the 2008 US competition.
Expect few posts about Baja in the summer and more frequently as BSM2007 comes near.
Oh, yes about the competition in Rochester... It seems that it was a lot of fun, lot of teams, with a Brazilian team taking the first place, Sherbrooke in second, and Tennessee in third (BSRIT 2007 results).
Finally after a very long post (maybe the largest ever in my blog so far!) I leave you with two videos from Baja SAE Rochester 2007. The first one is the start of the endurance race (see the amount of teams competing), and the second is the offical video from SAE, hope you enjoy them....

Funny Friday: Will Ferrell in David Letterman
Will Ferrell is very funny. Sometimes it borderlines on extreme stupidity, you just have to be in a good mood to enjoy some of his jokes.
Anyway here is a clip from David Letterman in which he appears as The Phantom of the Opera.

U23D
Super-hyper-mega cool!!
From u2.com: "U2 3D is heading for cinemas later this year"
I want to see this. I enjoyed the show so much first in Madison Square Garden in New York City and then in the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. I like U2 music a lot and they have great spectacular shows.
One thing more from u2.com: "The 3D shoot took place over seven shows in Mexico..." maybe it contains images from the concert I went :-).

SAE Extreme!
SAE is the one behind great competition such as Formula SAE and Baja SAE. These competitions are becoming more and more famous and recognized. One sign of this is that the registration to almost all the events of these competitions are filling up rather quickly.
SAE also organizes other events such as: Clean Snowmobile Challenge, Formula Student, Formula Hybrid, Aero design, and Supermileage.
The folks on SAE are working on improving the presence of these competitions by launching a video on YouTube! It is a good video that gives you sneak peaks to what these competitions are all about.
Up next on YouTube! "SAE Extreme"...
