Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, together.

May 31, 2007 · Filed Under Mac, Microsoft, Tech · Comment 

This is one of the biggest interviews in technological history. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, in one room, next to each other talking about themself and their products, and the future of technology. The interview took place at the D5 conference. I am sorry to dissapoint everyone but there is no fight between them. The interview is pretty interesting, the last time they both were interviewed together was about 5-10 years ago when they got interviewed for Fortune magazine (I think..). You can see the whole interview online and there is a small summary of the Highlits of the interview.

End of freshmen year.

May 24, 2007 · Filed Under College Life 101 · Comment 

It is officially the end of my freshmen year at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and it was a great year. A few suggestions for the upcoming freshmens….. Don’t ever, ever, trust the weather at Rochester. It might be the nicest day outside and as soon as you go outside it gets cold or starts raining out of nowhere. Enjoy the sun and green fall quarter because you will not see it for a long time, until spring quarter. Don’t be a loser and stay in your room all day, go out, join a club, meet people, go to parties.

For me it was a great year, met lot of cool people who helped me out and who I can say I look up to as far as college studies. For next year I will be part of an e-board for  a club on RIT. I will be leaving off campus because I got screwed over with housing and so did other 60% of freshmens. If I could do my first year all over again the only thing I would change is that I didnt join a club earlier. So thats it for now about school…

Instantes.

During spanish class they gave us this “text” writen by Jorge Luis Borges which is a great author. I loved it because I can picture him being old writing this, shows so much wisdom. Im going to write it in spanish, as it’s originaly in spanish. If you want you can google a couple of english versions. One day I wish I could write like this.

Si pudiera vivir nuevamente mi vida, en la proxima trataria de cometer mas erores. No intentaria ser tan perfecto, me relajaria mas. Seria mas tonto de lo que he sido, de hecho tomaria muy pocas cosas con seriedad. Seria menos higienico. Correria mas riesgos, haria mas viajes, contemplaria mas atardeceres, subiria mas montanas, nadaria mas rios. Iria a mas lugares adonde nunca he ido, comeria mas helados y menos habas, tendria mas problemas reales y menos imaginarios.

Yo fui una de esas personas que vivio sensata y prolificamente cada minuto de su vida. Claro que tuve momentos de alegria. Pero si pudiera volver atras, trataria de tener solamente buenos momentos.

Por si no lo saben, de eso esta hecha la vida, solo de momentos: no te pierdas el ahora. Yo era uno de esos que nunca iban a ninguna parte sin un termometro, una bolsa de agua caliente, un paraguas y un paracaidas. Si pudiera volver a vivir, viajaria mas liviano.

Si pudiera volver a vivir comenzaria a andar descalzo a principios de la primavera y seguiria asi hasta el otono.

Daria mas vueltas en calesita, contemplaria mas amaneceres y jugaria con mas ninos, si tuviera otra vez la vida por delante.

Pero ya ven, tengo ochenta y cinco anos y se que me estoy muriendo.

I love my chicks.

I love girls girls girls girls, girls all over the world.

As promised, I said I was going to write a post about the girls in my life, my friends, my more than friends, and my loved ones. If not for the girls I would probably never think as much as I do, I wouldn’t write as much as I do. If not for the girls, I wouldn’t really do much. Almost every thing I do, is for you girls. This is dedicated to all of you, my best friends who were always there to support me and give me good advises. Played guitar by my side, wrote my quotes in your heart and for making me smile on the days I was down I will always remember you all. Told me when I was doing something wrong and pushed me to the best when I was slacking. Everyone knows I dont have that many best-friends but everyone always knew who were the few girls that I would defend to the end and I still would.

I love my chicks, they bring me joy. Specially those girls that I had “fun” times with, the ones that I still haven’t but I know you want to ;) I’ll also dedicate this to the future girls, because girls come and go untill the day of settling down comes. I dont have to mention names or specific times because you know if we had a fling or had a bit of a bling. And for the future girls, if you have something to say to me then say it before it becomes to late because I can’t read your mind.

If not for the girls in my life I would never be the person I am, they all shaped me, gave me advice, showed me a few things. I apreciate that and I just want you all to know that I don’t forget details. From a simple smile, to a simple goodbye. In my life, it’s the details that count, those are the things I remember the most.

Love for all,
Yasser
