…mientras era joven y adolescente no encontré una voz y solo cuando leí a Lorca, en una traducción, encontré una voz que me dio permiso para descubrir mi propia voz, para ubicar mi yo, un yo que aún no está terminado.

La dictadura del “online” [gruesome photos]
Leo en Reuters que bajo la dictadura de Internet ahora muchas fotos que antes no se hubieran publicado en papel ven ahora la luz a pesar de su crudeza, violencia o dolor. Es este el precio que hemos de pagar por culpa de los “mainstream media”
Showing images of a person in the throes of death used to be a newsroom taboo, but even this is now giving way under the pressure of instant internet publishing and — thanks to camera phones — the increasing availability of strong news footage.

Four months with Android: reflections, grievances and some tenuous metaphors bundled up into a weighty tome
OR, The longest, most awkward dinner of my life
tl;dr version: I’m really glad to have an iPhone 4S.
(Note: this was written over multiple days, spaced weeks apart.)
I approached this experiment with a lot of questions, the primary of which was quite simple: why do people use Android? I had my own preconceived answers — they dislike Apple or couldn’t get an iPhone for one reason or another — but I dove in with an open mind regardless. After over four months of Android 2.3 on a Nexus S, I’m left mostly answerless.
That’s not to say I didn’t learn a lot. I have a solid grasp of what makes Android Android, the ins-and-outs of the OS, and, yes, there are even a few really great features I will miss as I transition back to iOS.
But at the end of the day I’m left with mostly a bad taste in my mouth. What follows is a summation of four months exclusively using Android. They’re my opinions. I’m not trying to sway anyone away from the platform, and I’m not looking to troll Android fanboys. I am but one man who likes stupid gadgets and decided to conduct a dumb experiment. Let’s go.
