I’m so tired of having to search on Google those little CSS tips we use every week at the job don’t you? It will be nice to have a page where the best of them (and more frequently updated) are shown for us to have. That’s why I created this quick reference list with all [...]

First of all (and before someone kills me), I respect Guy Kawasaki. And I respect him a lot. Even with that hair, I respect him. He is one of the few people I admire and that actually drain my day-to-day activity into reading his blog rss feed and books. If I have an advice to give to anyone is this: read Guy Kawasaki blog, the man knows what he is talking about. He understands business really well, and although you may not be in the same business as most of his public, listening and reading his blog WILL (pay attention, it’s true!) OPEN YOUR MIND to new ideas and better practices.
That said, now is time for the punch. Guy Kawasaki Blog Sucks, and big time if you ask me. I’m not talking about the content he writes there everyday, but about the blog itself which, believe or not, I designed.

Ok this is not a long post but, it is worth it. I came today with new pants to the office; never used before this morning and they are so tight, I was choking myself with them so I had to do something extreme: I took away my pants. That’s it. I’m working with no [...]

If we can say something about dreamhost in EmaStudios is that, they live up their hype. People from all over the world are choosing day after day moving their web sites, applications and projects to DreamHost; but what’s this not-so-good-looking service all about? why is placed number one on the market over the other web hosting companies? Why their success? as always, there are a lot of answers for those questions, but they all can sum up into one simple answer: they know their customer.

So, this is the first video post I’m doing so be kind. My spoken English is not the best but that’s actually more than my President can speak in English so we are alright. I’m recording this video from my eeepc which has been a pain because although it’s a happy little mini-laptop I always [...]
There are times when excellent web applications come to life and everyone goes nuts for them. It happened with the over hyped Basecamp, with FreshBooks (excellent app) and even with Mint. That is excellent. Everyone fells good. Now, there are times when this doesn’t happen -for some strange reason- and it’s up to the people [...]
