As many of you, just because I could, I join the social media movement of Obama, this way I got emails and sms from him, well I got this one on last Friday, where he is telling Americans where he is taking this social movement.
It seems interesting to follow where “Organizing for America” is going, I will really keep an eye, to learn and see what can be done from this New Media idea.

A donde va? El movimiento social que organizo Barack Obama? Durante su campaña decidi seguir sus moviemitnso sociales y me agregue a la lista de usuarios interesados en lo que hace. De esta manera hace unos dias recibi un correo diciendo que va a suceder con el movimiento. Pues inicia una grupo llamadp “Organizing for America” / “Organizandos por America”. Me parece interesante seguirlos y ver a donde van, que sucedera y cuanto podemos aprender.

Let me tell you something, in Spanish sounds really funny. It would be something like, yes but it isn’t, in a contraction.
Any way what I’m going for is that the guys at Ben & Jerry’s created a new flavor just for the inauguration week the Yes Pecan! which is an Inspirational Blend! Amber Waves of Buttery Ice Cream With Roasted Non-Partisan Pecans. The Yes Peca! pays homage to the president-elect’s battle cry, “Yes, we can.” Plus, they added a bonus, proceeds go to a charity that helps people get involved in the political process.

/ Si Nuez! en realidad no hay una traduccion exacta por que el nombre del helado esta haciendo referencia a la frase de campaña de Obama, Si Nosotros Podemos! Ben & Jerry’s creo un helado especial por que Obama gano. Es sabor Nuez y por lo que dicen, esta rico. Lo interesante no es tanto el sabor, sino el concepto de utilizar una frase y hacerlo propio de alguna manera. Asi la empresa heladera, se aprovecha de Obama para vender un helado, pero al mismo tiempo para no parecer desagradecido donan un dolar a una organizacion politica. Si es de nuez!

A couple of days ago, the 13th of January the Change.gov Office release the Official Presidential Portrait. Which as you can see make Mr. Obama look really good. A lot of things had been said about the photo, but things that need to be seen are: at the back of him there are two flags, The American Flag, and the President Flag. He is wearing an American Flag Pin, and also the tie that he is wearing is on right to left stripes the main color is blue and small white and red lines between the big stripes. He is wearing a dark suit and a blue shirt.

I was reading some blog post when suddenly on my right screen twitter start going nuts, there was a plane crash in NY. Many people said different things, which is expected. As information went easier with people that were closer to the river photos became available, Scoble as usual @Scobleizer went nuts with the information, and found the first photo of a guy on a ferry going to rescue the victims of the forced landing.
Well he found that this guy was Janis Krums @jkrums and here is his photo, he put it on twitpic which by the way went down because of his photo.

http://twitpic.com/135xa – There’s a plane in the Hudson. I’m on the ferry going to pick up the people. Crazy. Twitter Status.

Well he was in the right moment at the right place, which is great, he got a really cool photo of the incident, thanks to the technology. At the moment of the incident he had 146 followers. After the photo was posted he went directly to 1,250 followers in a couple of minutes. And updating at the end of the day he has now 1,780 followers and growing as we could expect. Update at 10pm central time he had 2,121 followers.

Well the only thing that I am really wondering, is what would really people expect from him after adding him. Really, can he be interesting at all? I want to know what is he going to say after? That he eat a burger with them? I mean he is not a reporter, nor anything similar, he was a dude that was in the right place at the right moment.

10pm central standard time
Well he did two more post after the photo

Just did an interview with MSNBC. The last few hours have been intense. Thanks for all the support. 9pm

I’m back in NJ. Going to be back in NY tonight for a few interviews. This has been a crazy experience. Thanks for all the follows! 8pm

En la tarde mientras leia un blog post, un avion hizo un aterrizaje de emergencia en el rio Hudson en pleno Nueva York. Un muchacho Janis Krums @jkrums realizo un post de una fotografia mientras estaba en un ferry camino a la ciudad el cual se dirigio inmediatamente hacia el avion para rescatar personas. Es una fotografia muy buena, tomada con su iphone.

En ese momento en su cuenta de twitter tenia 146 seguidores y a en una hora tuvo 1,000 seguidores mas. Estaba en el lugar adecuado, en el momento adecuado lo cual es bueno.
Lo unico que me pregunto en este post, es que esperan las personas de Janis al seguirlo despues del evento.

Well if one of this days you are playing with you Wii and suddenly you see a Mii that looks like Obama, it could actually be him.
Hey how about playing some bowling against him, the one who wins can push the red button and declare war to some country. Ok ok not funny but could be funny. So any way, he got a Nintendo console, so I’m wondering, is Michelle getting the Fit, just for any time to kill. Seems that fun is getting into the White House which I’m proud of.

Si uno de estos dias jugando en tu Wii un Mii que se parece a Obama te dice si juegan un partidito de boliche, dile que si. Por que es posible que sea el realmente. Acaba de enterarse la prensa gadgetera que en la Casa Blanca habra un Wii. El cual va a ser muy divertido saber que juegan por que es un hecho que Barack juega Wii Sports y le gusta el Boliche, podria ser divertido, un partido y el que gane puede decir “Yo declaro la guerra en nombre de…”.

I’m going to use this an old ad, to explain something I learn today.
Well guys we have one product, a single product, I can’t change it, I can’t modify it for each customer, but how about use it exactly as what it is, and turn it into something different for each customer. Well that’s what I’m doing right now. Turning one person appealing for everyone, so I have Coca Cola and I have to make it for everyone.

/ Usare este lindo video, el cual sinceramente me encanta.

Tener un producto que no puedes alterar para cada comprador es algo con lo que me encuentro en este momento, pero lo interesante del video, es el concepto. Un producto que lo ven distinto cada uno de los consumidores, para encontrarse que al final usan, consumen y quieren el mismo producto.

Coca Cola para Todos.

Finally people are understanding. Yes I know its not the mass, but its a really important amount of people that can be reached via webvideo. Now finally the speaker of the house said it publicly.
“One thing we can agree on is the importance of utilizing technology to communicate”
Nancy Pelosi

/ Ellos lo estan entendiendo, me pregunto si faltara mucho para que el congreso Mexicano haga algo similar? En realidad se la respuesta, si falta mucho, primero tendriamos que tener Senadores y Diputados dispuestos a adaptarse a la tecnologia.
Bueno cuando menos ya hay un prescedente en EUA para que digan que es posible.

I don’t know if all of you pay attention to the upper left side of the address bar, well theres a little image that is call, favicon, which can make a site memorable or forgettable in an easier way. Well I found out that on the 9th Google put a new favicon in there site, and also that they have already put 70 on the past couple of years, a bit interesting isnt it?
Well the new one is at the beginning of this post, and all of the 70 old versions are on the bottom part of the post.
/
Yo no se si se han dado cuenta, en la parte superior derecha, exactamente junto a la barra de direcciones hay una imagen que se le denomina FavIcon, esta bonita imagen puede ayudar a un sitio a ser distinguido o a pasar desapercibido. El dia de hoy que si tenia mucho que hacer, me quede pensando en que podia escribir, y recorde el nuevo icono que esta usando Google, sabian ustedes que lleva 3 dias y ha causado revuelo en algunas esferas.
Si lo entiendo, soy demasiado geek, asi como mi nueva resolucion de año nuevo que es de 1680 x 1110 pixeles, pero bueno. La realidad es que algunos se dan cuenta que han cambiado estas imagenes, pero sabian ustedes que google ha puesto cerca de 70 iconos distintos de estos en los ultimos años?
bueno aqui estan todos ellos y el nuevo esta en la parte superior de este post.

I have done tons of little things in my life, at some point I did interactive walls, interactive tours, all of them in digital kiosks. In a moment I told a museum about interactive ideas for the museography (information in an expo). Well I found this video, it goes beyond what I expected to do a bunch of years ago. It look gorgeous, and if it really starts spreading on special expositions, it would be an amazing way of learning.

/ Ya hace algunos años trabaje haciendo kioskos interactivos, paredes digitales interactivas, en un punto de mi vida me acerque a un museo para proponerles hacer un area interactiva junto a la museografia, pero este video que encontre lo lleva a otro nivel.

No pense que llegara a esto cuando yo proponia ideas, una gran idea hecha realidad, ahora a mi me gustaria verla implementada en muchos lugares, me parece una gran manera de aprender.
