Top 20 songs: July 2010
As strange as it may sound, from the sunny Californian summer I share with you the winter edition of Bilinkis Top 20. As usual, the ranking is based on the music I listened to the most over the past months. This was analyzed by a sophisticated algorithm with a secret formula that I bet not even Google could work out. 
I share this with you for people to discover songs yet unknown. Also, so that you recommend me new stuff to listen to. So please let comments on your reactions and your recommendations.
I hope you like it. I’m including a bonus track as a gift!
Total Solar Eclipse and a Dream of a Lifetime Not Fulfilled (yet)
First thing I want to say in this post is where I am writing it from. There are two interesting aspects about this. One is that after 20 years of using PC, today is the day when I officially switched to a Mac. Rumor has it that “once you go Mac, you never come back.” We’ll see what happens with me.
Another interesting aspect about this post is that I’m writing it up in the air, about 33,000 feet from the ground, in an airplane with Wi-Fi while en route to San Francisco for SU after a brief family visit in Buenos Aires.
This visit had a bittersweet flavor: It allowed me to be closer to a wonderful natural phenomenon but, at the same time, it meant that I unexpectedly missed at Singularity University what could have possible been a unique moment, fulfilling a dream of a lifetime.
Waiting for the Flying Cars
If you’re over 25 years old, you have probably watched the trilogy “Back to the future.” You might as well remember the time machine, the “flux capacitor”, and part 2, where Marty McFly -the main character- travels to the future to try to save his children.
During his stay in the future, we can see many amazing things, such as flying skateboards, sneakers with automatic shoelaces or self-drying clothing. This is why I found it very fun when my friend Poty Nielsen made me realize that the day to which they wanted to travel was… yesterday!

The Launch of La Red Innova
Apart from attending the Menorca Tech Talk, my trip to Spain included some vacation days (a few days to get my classic “Loose notes” I do when I travel) and presentation at a new conference on technology and innovation called La Red Innova.
Organized by Paul Largua, an Argentine who has lived in Spain for a while, the goal is to become THE conference for Spanish-speakers, like the Web 2.0 Expo is to USA, LeWeb is to France or the DLD is to Germany.
According to Damian Voltes, the first edition turned out very well. Myself in particular, I got to be in a panel that was moderated by Jos Mara Figueres, former president of Costa Rica, where entrepreneurs shared the stage with such notables as Marcos Galpern, Alec Oxenford and Romero Rodrigues.
Managing Huge Crises
To answer Alexis Garbarz’s question (in Spanish, he asked what measures did we take after that natual disaster) on the post Shit Happens, I think it is good to discuss more upon the learning Officenet got out of the crisis management during the great flood in San Pablo. And who better for that than Leo Piccioli, who personally directed the operations in Brazil to overcome this terrible situation? So, I asked him to write a guest post about it. Here it goes!
Shit Happens
A few days ago, I read that because of the tendency of tourism to rise and fall, 6,500 restaurants in Mexico have closed after the appearance of the Influenza type A. This has caused the destruction of 55,000 jobs.
This also implies that the illness killed many more businesses than people in Mexico. And this number only includes the restaurants.
It presents a very interesting lesson to any entrepreneur: Shit happens.
Tips for the Trip
In the post about Excel, what I initially wrote was really long and heavy that I ended up having to write second post that wasn’t as long as the first for those that had been interested in the subject of the “exploratory trip”. For those brave souls, here are some tips for the planning and following through of that trip.
100 questions
Right now, I’m reading a book that says in order to really be really successful at something you have to dedicate 10,000 hours to it. Making an analogy, to really know a business to the point where no one can steal your idea, and you can model it and convert it into a project, you need to find the answers to 100 questions. This post is about the best place to find those said answers. Leer más…
