Achieving Your Dreams

Armando Alves @ October 1st, 2007

Yesterday, the husband of a close friend and co-worker died of cancer. I bring my web respect in the form of a inspiring (and last) lecture, of Randy Pausch, who has terminal cancer, at Carnegie Mellon.

Watch video below (1hr 25 min):

Randy is Co-founder of Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment Technology Center and creator of the Alice 2.0, and shares with us his childhood dreams to groundbreaking achievements he made working with students and colleagues at Carnegie Mellon University.

Sigur Ros at home

Heima

Heima is a documentary by the symphonic rock band, a beautiful voyage through their shows in small Iceland towns.

The film was directed by Dean Deblois, previously nominated by his animation for Llilo & Stitch, and comes as a companion for their new album “Hvarf”, a set of rarities from Sigur Rós.

View the youtube video above or the HD Trailer.
If you fancy this one, you should also check their previous videos. And they blogged the whole tour.

Steve Ballmer’s iPod Dance

Armando Alves @ August 3rd, 2007

Some Friday fun.

Steve Ballmer doing it the iTunes way.

One of the main reasons that turned zune into a failure had to do with it’s lack of trendiness (besides the ads), no cool factor.
With Microsoft having such a low esteem amongst creatives, no wonder zune had such lower cultural acceptance. Even with Ballmer dancing and throwing chairs.
