The everything (pt.1)

Posted by in Life, Literature, Misc, Movies, Politics on Dec 29th, 2008 | 0 comments

This is my first short list of movies, documentaries and books I think serve as an interesting theme/template for viewing current, past, and future events on earth. Some of the points in these movies are quite inspiring, thoughtful and realistic…

Some of them can be discerned to be completely incorrect. The point is, developing a critical mind and being able to distinguish between whats real, and what some people want you to consider real.

Movies and Documentaries:

  • Zeitgeist
  • Zeitgeist II Addendum
  • Lessons of Darkness
  • 1984
  • A brave new world
  • The ring of power
  • Da Vinci Code

Books:

  • Modern money mechanics
  • 1984
  • A Brave new World
  • Da Vinci Code

I will be writing newer versions of this list as I remember more interesting movies and books to check out. If you have any really good suggestions, do not doubt in commenting below.

Happy Hollidays!

Finally some time to be with friends and family. I hope you all get a good day (or a few) off and spend some wonderful time.

Lovely climate down here in Mexico by the way. We had a 24ºC Sunday, a 1-2ºC Monday and we’re back at 10ºC on Tuesday, I’m starting to love this radical weather ;)

Colourless.

Blue morning;
sky, gray.
Black streets,
paved in red.
Cars, yellow,
blue and white,
merged together,
so uniform, tight.
Brown hair,
pink skin,
green eyes
and dust bins.
Tree bark,
and dark rims,
leaks and sparks,
and orange-red marks.

Large companies VS small companies

Posted by in Life on Dec 4th, 2008 | 0 comments

After working for quite a long time in small buildings/companies, it is quite a change moving all of a sudden to a large business, even if it is just for an assignment. So, what are the main differences? Contrary to popular belief, large companies are not always completely strict and bureaucratic in every sense. But then again, it depends what you are asking for/aiming at. Large companies have better organisation, and the effect of a crisis seem to take longer to create a real impact on the workers.

In larger companies you may have access to a few privileges small companies can not always aford, like proper lighting, sanitary conditions, unlimited coffee :P , and other details. Workspace, on the other hand, seems to be more of an issue in large companies, which might not be able to afford wasting space for the sake of commodity.

In conclusion, the main advantages in being in a smaller business are space, smaller hierarchy, more direct contact, stronger bonds between employees, etc. The advantages of being in a larger business are usually related with larger benefits, more recreational activities, larger amount of coffee and goodies, better toilets and facilities (specially when the company is aiming at an international standards certification), etc.

These are only my initial points of view, of course.

Songs of the Day

Four Tet – Unspoken.

Great song, lasts 9:31. Mostly music, in which beats, a dramatic piano, and effects are surrounded by a depressive, thoughtful and charismatic song.
