This post is about a Chilean Design Students oriented website I’m working on, so its content is rather irrelevant in english. If you’d like to view it in spanish, just click on the flag to your right.
Thanks!

I’m not too keen on drinking, actually I started drinking like a year ago. But if there’s one drink I like, it’s rum.
I also love design, so it’s quite an exciting day when you see one of your favorite drinks team up with one of your favorite designers to bring you an all new hot website design.
I drink Flor de Caña on a regular basis, at least the young-party-going-fella-accesible version, and I truly believe after seeing them team up with the crew at Your Majesty, I will like it even more.
Indirect persuasion just got me big time.
Go check it out.

Around 3 months ago the good peeps at JOIA Magazine decided to recruit me as part of their staff to take charge of their new website’s design and programming.
Today, at last, after a lot of work and problems, the website’s finally online.
So the invitation’s open for you to check the site out and give me your input. Any crticism, opinions or comments of course are always welcome.

If you’ve ever been to a hard porn, soft porn, or even erotic website you’ve noticed that 3/4 of your screen fill up with naked babes, and the other 1/4 is just catchy colors and a whole bunch of become a member buttons (or so I’ve heard).
But Playboy, at least in its printed version has always been different. You really gotta give it to Hefner, if his empire is what it is it’s not just because of breasts and blond babes, it’s because he made it a glamorous serious magazine that just happened to show a few gorgeous naked ladies (ok, a bit more than a few).
Actually I’m a big Playboy magazine fan. I love the women, but I also love the magazine’s style. It’s actually a well built magazine, not only some cheesy booby shots with badly written articles in between.
Anyways, the point of this post is that Playboy UK has recently dropped a new version of their website and I simply love the new layout. Take out the fact that it is a Playboy website even. It’s a beautiful site, period. Bold serif titles, black and white, a very dynamic grid and… gorgeous babes!. Can’t be mad at that.
Big up to the whole website management crew behind it.

There are a lot of people I admire around the world. But Andreas Pihlström and the Suprb crew must be one of my top 5 for sure.
Their graphic and programming talent is always amazing and they’ve got a real eye for what the market needs at a given moment.
Now, if you’re into image bookmarking sites like ffffound, Dropular has come to save the day.
Registrations open for a short period of time, so go get yours!.
You can follow my drops right here.

First off I’d like to apologize for the size of the image, but I think in this case it’s worth it.
A little over two years ago, a small group of chilean design students decided to generate an online space that allowed design students from all its branches and schools to share their projects and create contact and collaboration networks that led to improve and enhance the national design scene. That website was Diseño Emergente (Emerging Design).
Now, with an insanely powerful base of monthly visitors and projects, Diseño Emergente is, without a doubt, the space where chilean (and slowly more latinamerican) design students converge and share, debate and display their ideas.
By chance of life, I had the pleasure of being one of the first few members of this community and for a while I was part of their staff, with whom to this day I keep a very close relationship.
This is why seeing progress like the one I’ll refer to is trully a reason for pride and satisfaction, knowing that in Chile there are people who dare to take the plunge, to go against the odds, and do it right, with love for what they do and the seriousness and responsability it deserves.
The reason for this slightly long post is to tell you about the release of Diseño Emergente 2.0,. A total review of the website’s interface and functions was made directly from the input of its own users and not just what the staff thought was right.
Even if you’re not a spanish-speaking person, I encourgae you to take a look at the portfolios section, I’m sure you’ll find a few things that’ll blow your mind.
For someone like me, who’s passionate about design, programming and interaction, this website really is a luxury. A whole bunch of new features that speed up your reading time, enhance relationships between users and also enhance the participation of 3rd party users from chilean student design.
So I’m just leaving the invitation open for you to check out the all new Diseño Emergente, ’cause even with its many haters, it’s impossible to deny its real cultural and design weight in chilean society.
My biggest congratulations, and deepest respect to the staff that daily tries to take chilean design to the next level. People like these are the ones that count.

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?.

If you were around my website in the last 4 or 5 days, you might have noticed that sometimes it appeared full, other times some posts were missing, then some comments and so on. I even think one or two posts were lost for good.
The thing is after some conversations with my hosting provider and their really good attention, en theroy my website is now fully functional as it should be. No missing contents, no bugs, no nothing. Or at least it should.
So to all of you who saw my website pop up differently every time you went into it, my appologies, and if you have a comment, complaint, advice, etc. Don’t hesitate to leave a comment to this entry.
Much love everyone and thanks for visiting my website.
