“We’ve always tried to be at the intersection of technology and liberal arts — we want to make the best tech, but have them be intuitive. It’s the combination of these two things that have let us make the iPad.” Steve Jobs
Congrats to Steve Jobs for the innovation, starting a new category, and making again, a fantastic device. Inspiring, and at $499 really outstanding.

In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.
—  Dwight D. Eisenhower. Although he was referring for war, I have found that on any important human project, planning gets us ready to face the unexpected.

In spite of disasters people of good heart always help.  I congratulate George Clooney and the more than 100 actors and singers on the Telethon for Haiti. Great performances, inspirational messages and a good cause.
Jesus said that every time we help those in need, God himself is grateful to us. Charity is a fundamental Christian principle (Matthew 25:31-46) and is also found in Judaism.
There are many ways we can help. One way is purchasing the show on iTunes.com/Haiti. All proceeds go to help the recovery effort.
Another way is going to the American or Canadian website supporting this effort and donating there. We can all help.

Fireworks are every new year best friend, and a sure fire way to cheer men’s hearts. This is an unexpectedly good show from Seattle. 2010 is here folks, let’s make it a great one.

One man gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
— King Solomon wrote this paradoxical advice on his book of Proverbs (ch. 24 verse 11) and it is actually true, as recent research confirms.

Merry Christmas! - A song from Tito El Bambino full of motivation to overcome the difficult year 2009 has been for so many. It literally makes you dance with optimism, and reminds you of the strength of faith and love.

Lyrics in Spanish - Letra en Español


Yo se que ha sido un año duro
Para muchos lleno de dificultad 
pero mientras haya vida y esperanza
olvidemos todo y vamos a celebrar
pero mientras haya vida y esperanza
celebremos porque llego Navidad

[ Coro ] 
Feliz feliz Navidad
pegaditos gozaremos mucho más
Feliz feliz Navidad
olvidemos todo y vamos a celebrar

[ Repetir Coro ]

Deja que te persigan
que las personas nunca terminan
no dejes que den problemas
te pasan por el “lao” y te sonrian
que vivan que vivan que vivan que viva
en el mundo la alegría
llena de fé tu vida
que la esperanza nunca termina
Que no que no abarque tu vida
vamonos pa’ la calle
y que viva la alegría
Que no que no abarque tu vida
vamonos pa la calle
y que viva la alegría

[ Coro dos veces ]

La vida es una y el tiempo se nos va
pegaditos gozaremos mucho más
sal pa’ las calles
vamos todos a bailar
olvidemos todo y vamos a celebrar

No no lo dejes caer
tu que así quieres vencer
que la vida nos enseña
que el amor lo puede todo
y nadie lo puede vencer

No no lo dejes caer
tu que así quieres vencer
que la vida nos enseña
que el amor lo puede todo
y nadie lo puede vencer

Celebra, Canta con ánimo
Celebra, Ven cantate algo
Celebra, Canta con ánimo
Celebra, Ven cantate algo
