Home Theater for Dummies
Baffled....This is how I felt when I saw the back of the new ONKYO NR1000 Receiver valued at USD 4000. I mean this is really amazing. Every single connector ever. Is like a brothel for cables!!! (Puras hembras!!)

Live in 2004
During 2004 I was able to go to a nice variety of concerts:
Air, The white stripes, Pixies, REM, Snow Patrol, Scissor Sisters, Polyphonic Spree, The Shins, Mosquitoes
I was not able to go a Morrissey concert since I had a business trip. That was a real pitty.
Well I just hope 2005 to be as good as 2004.
At least I already have tickets to see Keane and The Zutons in January... a good start for the 2005.

Best music of 2004 according to me.
A perfect of mix of retro punk with some spices from classic the who. This is the clash circa 2004. Highlights: Better days and nights, Robot
After a long wait, the Mozzer delivers with a set of classic tracks. A good CD to be introduced to the world of Morrissey. Highlights:1st.of the gang to die, let me kiss you
Not just a clever name for a band, but a simplistic yet irreverent proposal to the music world, I just hope this was not a lucky shot Highlights: Tell her tonight, this fire, come on home
A vibrant trip to the Friedberger's brothers world. An adventurous production that goes all over the places but manages to sound relevant Highlights: My dog was lost, Spaniolated, Straight Street
A powerful record with some outrageous musical arrangements, a great piece of work that flirts with classical music and distorted guitars, a must have Highlights: Stockholm Syndrome,Time Is Running Out
Without a doubt one of the most powerful live acts in the world, the Scissor Sisters are remarkable for reviving the ghost of the 70's and 80's and making them sound relevant again. If you are a purist don't even bother. Highlights: Take your mama out, Tits on the radio and yes Comfortably Numb (from Pink Floyd)
I waited to listen to this one the second work of the streets before jumping in the bandwagon, I have to say I was sadly late. This is a truly superb snapshot of suburban life narrated by a non fictional character, Mr. Mike Skinner. Highlights: . It Was Supposed To Be So Easy, Fit But You Know It, Dry your eyes
Americas answer to Franz Ferdinand, the Killers have a more rough sound that their UK counterparts. The Killers excel in finding catchy guitar rifts and danceable beats without leaving their Indy sound.Highlights: Mr. Brightside, Somebody Told Me, All These Things That I've Done
A Dallas based band that moved to New York to find success. A very particular sound from a trio that raises the level once again of American music. Highlights:First Wave Intact, Nowhere Again, You Are Chains
Julieta Venegas jumped into full frontal pop with this well produced work and managed to tell us how her life has changed now that she seems to be in love.Highlights:Lento, Donde Quiero Estar, Nada Serio
A great set of irish guitar rock tunes, that evokes the likes of Coldplay and Doves, an excelent alternative to another great album from Keane. Highlights:Spitting Games, Chocolate, Run
For me the best of the pack, an amazing production from Jack White (The White Stripes). An example of how to blend music styles without compromising the essence of both. SUPERB. Highlights:Porland Oregon, High on a mountain top, Family Tree
The French duo is constant in delivering intelligent, innovative electronic music. This effort places them as the leaders in the slow electronica segment, a great chill out album (as always) Highlights:Surfin' On A Rocket, Cherry Blossom Girl,Alpha Beta Gaga
Let me know what do you think....!!

Amigos Invisibles among Amazon's Latin Music TOP 5 Best of 2004
What about that? I guess that will imply some extra copies sold by those waiting for those lists to buy whatever good CD they missed during the year.
Needless to say that if you are willing to push the envelope and try new things (musically that is...) I suggest you to give a try to this CD, it will take you to different, distant, warmer places and is a good way to forget is winter time.
If any of you guys from the Amigos is reading this congratulations pana,le han echado un cerro de bolas.

Some sort of drawing
Almost every major metropolis around the world has a metro system or subway that tries to improve their massive transportation issues. So it is very nice to see how some metro systems look from a different perspective.
How they look? Well just like a drawing made by a toddler.
I guess engineers also have a kid inside.

What a coincidence
According to this article, now it seems that Saddam Hussein bribe countries, corporations and people with oil. Wow I guess there's someone down in Venezuela doing the same thing.
So I guess everything that happened months ago with the Referendum is starting to make sense.
I just hope the destiny of that guy (HChF) follows that of Saddam.

I am country sick
I just do not why? But tonight I am missing Venezuela. Not my hometown, not my friends, not the weather, I just miss a state of mind, a state of mind called Venezuela.
I feel like a junkie that need a fix of his "drug du jour", only for a minute, just a small dose. There is no explanation, there is no substitute, I need the smell, the colors, I need the attitude and the whole experience of walking and breathing in Venezuela.
Why I feel like this? Why today? I don't have an answer, but I actually I do have many questions.
Questions that I will keep to myself because sadly as of today there is not a living person that could answer them, questions related to the fate of a nation and an entire generation (gen X) of Venezuelans.
I hope I can live to tell my grandchildren why in the past I left their country (Venezuela) in order to avoid living under some experiment an experiment gone bad.

Uno Dos Tres Catorce....HELLO HELLO HOLA COMO ESTAS!!! VERTIGO is Here

A blog to die for
I was having my regular round of web browsing when I found this particular blog and I started to think... what could happen if the neo dictatorship of the Venezuelan regime decides that web content should be filtered, centralized and censored?. Will they go to a blogger house and arrest him? Will they start to control the ISP's and filter the Internet? Will they control who is "eligible" to have internet access?
All of this arises even more when I read that in the 21st. century the Venezuelan government announces the creation of a state operated Telecommunications company aimed to provide fixed telephone and Internet access. Is this the 1st. step of a macro plan to build infrastructure and in the future rule out private owned telecommunications companies by decree? Is this a way to fortify the power and involvement of the state in everyday life?
This is the only logic I find to this initiative. Well I guess I find a second one.
Since the government used a private telecom's network to connect all the voting machines during the last referendum and some evidence is being presented that there was two way communication between the data center and the machines making it very possible to changes in the software and final results. Don't you think it would be easier if you could have control over the whole process and rig an election freely without any private party questioning what kind of data goes through your network?.
What the bloggers in Iran are living is frightening, I hope we all learn from their experiences.

FRAUD U LENTO 2
After reading opinion articles from Venezuelan "intellectuals", I am concluding that the in your face fraud truly disarmed the opposition. They even are looking (an believing) logical explanations on why maybe there was no fraud.
The fact is that we are dealing with a group of people that killed in the past in order to gain and maintain power. Do you really think that people that their entire lives have been involved creating conspiracy plots to overthrow elected governments are now the greatest democrats? People that are directly engaged with Mr. Fidel Castro are now going to bring you clean and shine elections? A group of people that in 6 years have amassed billions of dollars managing the largest corruption scheme for a country in Latin America are not going to "invest" in rigging an election electronically?
Is just plain stupid.
Here is another article that clearly explain how the machines can be altered, is just incredible.

FRAUD U LENTO
So you still think there was no fraud? So you think e-voting is safe. Just take a look at this article, and find out what the US is facing regarding this method.
I know that the fraud evidence will surface, it is just a matter of time.

It is just an opinion nothing against her.

The end of the Innocence
I am waking up... I thought I had politics figured out. As the hours pass by I realize freedom is just a word, and democracy just letters.

The Rise and Fall of Hope
The thing that gets me the most is the fact that Chavez was able to maintain acceptance levels in Venezuela above 35% before going into the Referedum. That simple thing help raise the doubts that a fraud ever existed. I know the fraud did happened, that I know for sure.
I see it very difficult that in the next election (2006) a person can defeat Hugo Chavez. If with an election of a YES or a NO the opposition was not able to prevent a flagrant abuse of power and manipulation of the voting machines and win straight and square, how they will do it with a candidate that is exposed to direct attacks from the government?
As of today I do not see a leader that can challenge Mr. Chavez's charisma and charm with the popular masses. I know that person exist, and is somewhere in Venezuela right know, his turn to be in the spotlight is yet to be seen.
This is by any account the 1st. public thing that Chavez manages that actually works, a high tech coup d'etat.
