Syriana, another cop-out
I have seen the movie Syriana twice, and although I did not love it, I did appreciate the film. I thought that it did a good job of portraying the complicated and intricate interrelations amongst various political and economic interests that make up the U.S. Middle Eastern policies (as well as the local politics).

Berga Forever!
Yo empecé a trabajar en FON el 9 de enero de 2006 y dos días más tarde entró un barbudo medio hippie. Le pregunté cómo se llamaba y resultó que tenía el mismo nombre que otro en la empresa. En aquellos tiempos solo éramos unas ocho personas habitando el mismo espacio pequeño. Así yo […]

Sex Machine

I’m Just a Bill
I just checked my FON User Zone (I share WiFi), and I had my first 5 visitors to my FON Spot!!! Yeah, that’s really exciting, I suppose. Well, it means that FON is actually working, and that is something I have been working at for a very long time. So, I just decided to open […]

Who’s Attacking Whom?
I just read this article about a terrorist attack in Yemen near Sanaa where five Spanish tourists were killed.

Incoming!
Incoming!!! It could be any day now, inshallah. Call him (or her) what you like — Chiquito, el Gran Hujaito, or Alfonsito (Zinedine is already reserved) — but the resemblance is uncanny!
