Good ol’ Barbón from NiceFuckingGraphics has kindly asked me to answer this small meme on how many feeds I read.
Truth is I’ve never really counted them, plus as far as I know Netvibes doesn’t have any kind of usage statistics as Google Reader has.
After counting them all one by one (thanks a lot Barbón ¬¬), they’re 156 feeds, ungrouped, all in one single tab, in an unorderly uncategorized fashion.
Traditionally you’re suposed to continue a meme like a chain; but to tell you the truth I don’t know that many bloggers that haven’t previously been mentioned in this meme in other websites. So I’m leaving the topic open for anyone who feels like it to answer.
So, How many feeds do you read?.

The great annual theater festival Santiago a Mil has been involved year after year in bringing to our humble country some of the most important and amazing performances worldwide, and this year it was no exception.
Today I had the privilege of seeing the beautiful “Players of Light” show, by the incredible Groupe F.
An outdoors and free event that involved everything I enjoy: Great music, mind-blowing fireworks, all sorts of lights and beautiful colors.
An experience that went on for a little over an hour that felt like ten minutesU, but I’m pretty sure it must have left the thousands of people that were there more than satisfied.
A sublime experience. A captivating game of lights of unmatchable quality.

I hadn’t realized I hadn’t posted anything about Helvetica: The Film, the movie about Helvetica, the typography.
I heard of it being made over a year ago, and since then I’ve been eagorly waiting to see it.
In the end the veredict is only one: It was worth the wait.
The documentary is excellent. Its editing is exceptional, the interviewed amazing, and the typography a modern classic.
From the testimonies of design geniuses such as Massimo Vignelli, Matthew Carter, David Carson, Paula Scher, Stefan Sagmeister and Eric Spiekermann among various others, Helvetica: The Film is a first class visual testimony that should without a doubt be seen by every graphic designer around the world. In fact I believe it should be being showcased in all design schools all over the globe. So if there happens to be any school directors passing by here, please try to show it. Your students will be grateful.
The best of all the documentary, in my opinion, is that it really manages to give Helvetica its well deserved protagonism, but at the same time gives an enormous amount of life advice, first to graphic designers, but really to any person who watches it.
This isn’t only a documentary about a typeface. It’s a graphic design guide written by the beautiful Helvetica.
And of course, not to leave you hanging. Here‘s the full documentary.
Sadly the video has been taken down from the web. Still, if you get the chance to grab a DVD copy, do it!.

At Falmouth University College all graduates are participating in a project named “Advice to Sink in Slowly“, which consists of giving advice through a poster to all newcomers about how to handle college life.
The idea behind this is that every student gets a free poster when they enter the University.
Awesome. Specially by the fact that the institution itself stands behind the idea.
And to top everything off, you can see the posters at this flickr or buy one to have at your own home for only 5 british pounds (plus shipping costs).

The always asertive individuals over at SmashingMagazine have released a list with 29 awesome music videos.
The list overall is very well made and several videos are inspiring to say the least for their innovation and execution level.
My recomendation is to watch them all, it’s worth it. I’d love to leave a list of the ones I liked the most; but I kinda liked all of them. Above I left one of my favorites that I hadn’t seen before, plus the song is awesome too.

This is one of the stairways at Nydalen subway station in Oslo, Norway.

We’ve all seen a touch-screen. But now it’s the turn for a touch-screen scanner that, oddly enough, records the content of an object from the face that we see, not the machine. I think there must be some sort of special camera installed on the ceiling above.
The part with the moving mouse is specially cool.

This is kind of a local event in Santiago, Chile. So if you’re not in the area maybe you won’t be interested in this post… Anyways…
Cartel Se Busca (Poster wanted) is a project where 100 different artists are asked to interveine a foldable poster commonly found outside small stores around the city, also known as palomas (pidgeons) here in Chile.
Now the organization of the project is throwing a party to raise funds being held tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow. Sorry for the short notice but I’ve had a few problems posting the news.
The event’s info is on the flyer, but just in case, the address is Santos Dumontt 480. It’ll cost $1000 chilean pesos ’till 1 AM, after which it’ll cost $2000.
Those who can, try to go support this excellent and creative iniciative.

I’ve never been much of a fan of the oriental culture; but still I can’t deny its enormous value in overall international culture.
Now I leave you a place to see what’s going on in the world of design over at the lands of the rising Sun.
