Throne Finds on December 29, 2008 in Society
My bathroom magazine rack (or Crystal's magazine rack, to be correct) is stuffed to the limit with months-worth of magazines. Every so often I will read through the pages, fold the articles of interest, and move on with the next. Below are a couple interesting "throne finds":Wired article on the future of food.Wired article on Indian property issues.Economist article on...

Eddie Palmieri & Harlem River Drive - Recorded Live at Sing Sing on December 22, 2008 in Music
Great stuff. I'm not generally a fan of live albums, but this concert brought together a wonderful blend of salsa and soul. It even features spoken word poetry from Young Lords leader Felipe Luciano.Via RapidShare....

Blah Blah on the Big Three on December 13, 2008 in Economics
Though I have no qualms against public financial institutions providing lines of credit to the private market, I do think that that credit must be aimed towards small and medium businesses. Why not provide a loan $14 billion loan to the smaller American car companies to buy up the factories, labor, and assets left behind by a post-Big 3 industry?...
Florida Weekend Trip on December 13, 2008 in Personal , Photos
Drove down to Central Florida last weekend to see my daughter. I made the trip in about 7 hours (including a lengthy stop half way to stretch my butt muscles). A bag of tangerines, an over-sized can of beef jerky, an iPod with about 20 new albums on it, and my last Barriomulas mix CD kept me busy. When...
American vs. Puerto Rican Leisure on December 13, 2008 in Puerto Rico , Society
The concepts of leisure held by Americans and Puerto Ricans (and Latinos in general) are quite different. When I moved to Puerto Rico I went through the process of "loosening up"; adopting Latino time and the Latino lax. This transition was really not difficult, though it did take time for me to feel comfortable with arriving to locations a few...

From Graffiti to the Gallery on December 13, 2008 in Society
I've always been a little cautious towards art galleries and art museums. Art to me is a popular median that must be spilled out onto the streets and walls of our neighborhoods. I guess that you can say my perspective on art has been influenced greatly by Latin American mural art, hip-hop graffiti culture, and culture jamming.Gallery art for me...

Florida and Opelika on December 6, 2008 in Personal
I'm in Florida for the weekend to see Amaia. I was meaning to tell you guys prior to me actually making the drive, but time constraints and a busy schedule prevented me from doing so. You can probably tell by the lack of actual posts on this website. Lately I've only had time to upload a batch of Photos of...
"Back in Puerto Rico..." on December 6, 2008 in Humor
I must have everybody sick and tired of my commenting about how things were "back in Puerto Rico". So and so left work for a doctor's appointment? "Back in Puerto Rico when you had a doctor's appointment you'd be gone all day." Co-workers talking about vacation days? "Back in Puerto Rico you'd accumulate an entire vacation day for each pay...
