100 days to Baja SAE RIT 2007

100. 100 days to Baja SAE Rochester Institute of Technology 2007. This could be the next competition for the Baja SAE Anahuac Team. Currently we are struggling with some issues, among them the time constrain, to get the new car on wheels on time for the competition, hopefully we do :-). One thing that I can assure you, we don't give up easily.

As the time draws nearer I will keep you informed of major breakthroughs and updates of the Team.

New design (again)

I am trying a new design for my blog, a little more clean and with a nice header. Hope you like it. If you liked the previous design let me know on the comments, thanks

And tonight the Oscars!!!

I love movies. They make you laugh, cry, remember that lfie can be tough sometimes and splendid in other times, entertain, and sometimes even make you sleep :P.

Tonight is the movie celebration, the Academy of Motion Picture Art and Science (AMPAS) Awards, better known as the Oscars. Tonight at 5.00 pm PST the Oscars will be transmitted all around the world.

There are very good pictures nominated this year (so far none of the ones that I have seen have disgusted me). Ten Mexicans are up for an Oscar tonight, meaning there is a good chance that at least one grabs an Oscar.

I have seen a good number of the movies nominated, but not all. I will definetily try to see the ones that I am missing, specially the ones that win something tonight (you should too).

Well, that's all. Tune in the Oscar and enjoy one of the TV live shows with more audience in the World.

after a month...

Here I am back again. I have disappeared from my blog for a little more than a month, sorry, just didn't have the inspiration for writing.

I have been doing a lot of things lately. I have been on vacation, working, and working on Baja SAE.

I'll tell you more about the things going around my life in upcoming posts. Glad to be back writing.

2008 MLB All*Star Game @ Yankee Stadium (not yet confirmed)

The Baseball Cathedral, a.k.a. the House that Babe Built, a.k.a "The Stadium", a.k.a. Yankee Stadium is agonizing. And by agonizing I mean that it will be enjoying it's last two seasons in 2007 and 2008 (unless a miracle happens and saves the almost 84 year old stadium). In 2009 Opening day will be played on the "New" Yankee Stadium, just across the street from the Yankee Stadium on the Bronx, NY.

As reported by ESPN.com and some other sources over "the nets" Yankee Stadium has a good chance of hosting the mid-summer baseball classic, the All*Star Game. It is a very exciting news, it will be a great farewell to the most famous stadium in baseball.

If this rumor is confirmed it will mean one thing, start planning and saving up for a visit to the Big Apple on July 2008. I mean, I "must" go to that game.

iPhone and Apple TV

Well, today we saw the announcement of two new apple products that were widely expected among technology enthusiasts, the Apple TV and the iPhone.

The Apple TV (www.apple.com/appletv) is the product formerly known as iTV. It is a device for holding and streaming media like videos, podcasts, music, photographs from your regular PC or Mac. It is a nice thing to have, though not in my priority list right now.

Now, the Apple's iPhone (www.apple.com/iphone) is what I consider a "state of the art" gadget. Actually it was introduced as three products in one. The first one, a widescreen iPod (4 & 8 Gb), great for viewing movies also plays music and podcasts. The second a mobile phone with a terrific interface. And third an Internet device, with included WiFi. All with incredible technology included like multi-touch interface, proximity sensors, accelerometer for detecting device orientation, Google Maps, etc., etc. Go to the website for incredible images and more details. Available in June in the US.

I am highly expecting a product with the same characteristics as the iPhone minus the phone part. I mean, wouldn't it be nice if you have a 80 Gb widescreen iPod, I now I would like to :-)

That's all for today

2007, a New Year and fresh bread

Hello and welcome again to my blog. Thank you very much for visiting again. Here we are starting a brand-new year. I don't like New Year's celebration that much, I mean, if you think about it every day starts a new year. But anyway it's a new year. My brother was just telling me about an National Geographic TV ad regarding the New Year and it stated that among the world's population only an astounding 35 percent celebrate the New Year on January 1st; the other persons (Jewish, Chinese, Muslims, and others) celebrate the New Year on different dates. Impressive... you bet!! I felt that way when my brother told me. You can watch the ad by visiting the following link "Ni te lo Imaginabas 2007".

Now you're thinking "New Year and fresh bread", what the h** has to do one with the other. I have an answer. For the first day of 2007 I decided to bake some fresh bread. As a foodie I love eating, cooking and baking. This bread took a little time on the making (due to it's 20 hours of repose, I actually began preparing it on 2006) but it was totally worth it. Everyone on my family liked the crispy exterior and the soft, tasty inside. I am definitely be doing this bread a lot.

Well thank you again, have a magnificent 2007 and hope you can achieve everything you try.
