Week 1, 2012
München, Germany

2011 was INCREDIBLE INTENSE. Posting was literally no possible.

For me the whole year 2011 was a roller coaster of emotions. It is taking me sometime to process all what has happened. These lines are not a personal complain of the events, instead I want to express my awareness that I am alive, I am walking my path and I am thankful for everything.

2011's flash backs

When one lives, one is exposed to transformation. Sometimes changes are intense, specially if one does not want them. However, those special hard changes help us to realize that only moments are eternal, everything else is ephemeral. Consequently, we should be VERY aware on how to live each one of our moments, that is how we walk our path, because time will pass by and time will never comeback.

Summarizing, between 2010 and 2011 all my energy was completely suck out. I did my best, and I was blessed to be surrounded by outstanding people. In spite of all the good things, at the end of 2011 I was literally OUT.  However, as the phoenix we should rise from the ashes! So, here it goes 😉  the plan is:

1. Re-connect with myself
~ it means to have internal peace and energy emerging from within. Let my dreams and creative ideas to get strength again

2. Live intense each moment
~   it is clear this point, right? Share and smile MUCH MORE

3. Grow up
~  this point targets to work, business and income 😉  I will clarify in detail this point in a later post.

4. Discipline!
~I need much of it! To achieve 1,2 and 3.

 

And our 2012’s motto is:  Take the bull by the horns!   🙂  I took it seriously Papá!

Joensuu, Finland

Main activity: writing, writing and more writing

On April 1st, I fulfill a promise to submit a refurbish article to be reviewed again. I  hope at the end this article will succeed! However, I still have to fulfill other promises… then guess what? back to write 🙂

Ah! believe it or not, I made sometime to read Blink. Well, it is a simple reading that takes few hours. The book is good, no scientific but based in the report of science. The author makes a good job to keep me reading his book, so I like the book. I should also add that read other things besides research feels and makes good!

Another commitment that I fulfill this week  was to be in our meeting at the Museum of Technology on March 28. Wow! I almost do not manage it, as I should take the train at 5:17 am, and I open my eyes at 4:40 am…. phew! but I arrive on-time.  I will write about this project soon !

Writing, writing and more writing….

for that I need to review some of my basics in Activity Theory (AT). So, this is the third time I read the EXCELLENT book from Kaptelinin & Nardi, and still I am processing it. Their book, for me, is comprehensive and it has helped me to bring together my understanding of AT from the perspective of interaction design. Another author that I enjoy deeply to read regarding AT is Prof. Yrjö  Engeström. However, I am slower digesting his message, even though I learn a lot from his lines. Sometimes when I am reading, specially with “scientific” stuff,  or when I go to the library I have imagine how fantastic would be to listen to them explaining their ideas, dreams and experiences. To interact with them as friends, which ones are their personalities, how they deal with problems and how their dreams fulfills them. Each person is a whole interesting collection of volumes in different topics.  I guess all of us have experienced that great feeling when someone, who has more experience than us, offers us quality of time and narrates us something so that involves actively on the topic. So many ideas and knowledge are enclosed everywhere….
