Mar y Sol Pop Festival


Aunque mucha gente considera que en Puerto Rico lo que se escucha es Salsa y Reguetón a diestra y siniestra; existe un gran número de habitantes que se identifica con otro tipo de música. Normalmente, rezagados a rincones de nuestros grupos, siempre existe el rockero, metalero o punko por algún lado. Muchos los vemos, o nos dejamos ver, de vez en cuando por las calles de nuestra Isla; produciendo miradas perplejas (por no decir ignorantes) de nuestros compueblanos.

Parece ser que a mucha gente se le ha olvidado que PR, desde los inicios del consumo en masa de los géneros alternativos, ha sido cuna de lo que hoy generalizamos como rock. Un vivo ejemplo de eso lo fue el Mar y Sol Pop Festival.

25 years of yahoo!

Sometimes people take things for granted, like the internet for example. Do you remember the first time that you had access to the internet? Was it CompuServe, Prodigy, AOL or like in my case Eastnet? Do you guys remember the first time you had a broadband connection? Its been a long time since I heard the buzzing noises of a dial-up modem; the fight with everyone in the house because they wanted to use the phone, etc. Today, my girlfriend show me this video, 25 years of yahoo, hope you like it.

I present to you: The Palm Pre!


After a long hiatus The Smoking Knife is Back! Sorry; I was attending some personal money matters that needed my full attention (I'm not rich b#$%!, yet...). Para los que no siguen CES, the international Consumer Electronic Show, que se da todos los años en la segunda semana de enero; se anunció otro iPhone killer que de seguro va a quedarse con parte del mercado de los smartphones. Lo mejor de todo es que proviene de Palm, que como todos saben, fue la empresa que popularizó los PDAs y los Smartphones con sus ya legendarias plataformas Pilot y Treo. Aqui les dejo un video de la presentación oficial del producto. Si quieren más, para eso esta Youtube.

Google Android is here!

Iphone killer? Quizas; pero lo más cool en mi opinión es que tiene un full size keyboard. Se necesita teclas grandes si uno tiene manos de hombre, verdad? Veremos a ver si lo traen a PR.

Llovieron no gotas, barriles de agua!

Eso de que las lluvias son una bendición solo les funciona a la gente que vive en deciertos. A mi gente de Yabucoa PR mejor les parecio una non-bendición. Aqui hay un video de uno de los canales locales; y lo que aqui cuentan es poco. Por lo menos se preservo la vida. Take care mi gente!

Cartoons ochentosos

I found this pieces of history poking around on Youtube. Para todos los ochentosos. Enjoy!

My Xbox 360 sucks!


Two weeks ago my Xbox 360 broke. How can this be I ask myself. Well, nothing is forever; not even a piece of technology that cost 400 bucks! It happened while I was playing my beloved fresh copy of GTA IV. I was close to whacking this guy in one of the missions when all of sudden, the screen when white and a pop up came up saying that it cannot read the disk. No problem, try a different disk and see whats up. Well, that didn't work. Now I can't play any game! I even have new games in the shirk wrap! After a week of trying to fix this problem, I decided to call Microsoft costumer service; ...yeah, what a great idea!

After 4 calls and some discussion, because the guys back there did not understand my puertorrican address (idiots?), they conclude that something is wrong with my console (ja!). They are saying that I need to pay 100 dollars to get it fix. WTF!!! the console broke while playing your games! I use it the way it suppose to be use and it broke on me! What the hell?! But no, because my warranty ran out 1 month ago, The cannot fix it for free. No matter if the problem is theirs. So I have 2 choices: buy a new Xbox 360, the cheapest one; or pay the 100 bucks, a get a refurbish unit prone to have the same problems. I think I had been punk! (...piece of shit!).
