Really wanted a Will McAvoy from The Newsroom character: a flawed but deep-down lovable Steve — at least by end of the movie .

Was expecting Sorkin to play with my feelings more. This Jobs you may admire, but almost certainly dislike. Goes from asshole to jerk.

Steve Jobs movie is to biographical Jobs, what the West Wing was to the Clinton Administration.

Over the last year my work emails have become very detailed. Not so much for the present, but as reference (and cover) for the future.

Crap. Hard crash, now MacBook Air shows boot-screen and then shuts down. Cloning SSD from Recovery before freaking out.

Crazy idea: adopt car year pricing model. YourApp™ 2013 sold full price initially, then discount when YourApp™ 2014 is coming.

Pricing is always hard; but exposure to: mega markets, global competition and discoverability challenges make App Store’s very interesting.

App Store operators are concentrating on volume, so complexities like paid upgrades are not desired. It’s up to devs to figure out model.

But low prices in digital goods are perceived differently by consumers. Apps now are either expensive or cheap. Value has been left out.

Software prices in App Store’s need a readjustment. The need to stand-out in crowded virtual shelf space has driven devs to lower prices.

Crap, no unlocked 5s in online US Store.

I can now officially recommend that if you read Game of Thrones, don’t watch the TV show until you forget most of it.

Anyone around Asia in November? I have my own towel and am mostly potty trained.

Zagat/Yelp should have a “Certified Wrap Engineer” sticker.

This wrap was so poorly packaged, that it basically exploded when I opened it.

Minimalism works both ways: it’s not only buying less stuff, but if you do buy, make it something that you won’t ever need to replace.

Ironically, my iPhone has never misspelled “Damn Autocorrect”.

It amuses me to know Chavez uses this US based, venture capitalist financed, web service to manage his communist revolution.

Fairness is such a human value, we dreamt up an afterlife so we could digest the most horrid injustices.

Just finished Game of Thrones. Immediately bought A Clash of Kings.

Debating when is the best time to watch the HBO series.

If drunk, divide outlook by 1.000. If sober, multiply by 100.

Cancerígenos y cancerígenas …

Espero que la cadena arranque con un “Previously on Lost …” por que a mi ya se me olvido que dijo este carajo en ultimo capitulo.

Traffic, It’s What’s for Dinner.

Dammit, feeling so groggy.

Game of Thrones book got all epic on me last night and went to bed way past my bedtime hour.

Search for news about increased gravity a failure. Therefore my weight isn’t lying.

Angry drivers with Christian bumper stickers reassure me I won’t be alone in hell.

If you fail to grasp the importance of extending my WiFi … I can now tweet from the bathroom.

#helloword

Just extended my WRT-54g WiFi range with new Airport Express via WDS.

I feel like a MAN.

Also, a bit annoyed that none of the kids wearing these sneaker boots don’t get my Back to the Future jokes.

Only reason I’ve noticed that Reebok boots are making a comeback is ’cause my brain keeps saying “Recalculating decade” every few hours.

Airport security checkpoints take so long that you can easily workout the process. That must be a security concern in itself.

If Pawn Stars has taught me anything, is that ending a negotiation meeting with a quick “No” … will never be followed by a commercial.

App is the new .com

Just reserved my iPad 3G 32Gb. Hopefully will be back in stock soon.

In Boston!

I ♥ Boston. Have I mentioned it before? Well I do.

BTW, even with a 9 hour layover in Paris, #AirFrance managed to leave my bag there. Me thinks they appreciate my Arnaud impression.

Never thought I’d call “home” a place in such a faraway land. Thanks for everything Norway. I promise to call.

Little known fact: french versions of apps only install if you click “No” in the End Users License Agreement. It’s a culture thing.

Kick-Ass: Never has a movie title better described my review. (★★★★★)

Just said final goodbyes. Going to miss a lot some good friends in Oslo.

#PackingNotes: You’ll suddenly realize a dozen people will notice you misspelled “kitschen” in one of the boxes.

#PackingNotes: with everything in the van you’ll go and get your wallet. Which is in last night’s jeans. Which are … packed in the van.

#PackingNotes: That sturdy beer glass you’ve had for more than a year, will suddenly become fragile.

#PackingNotes: remember that ziplock with incense candles you left on top of the bookshelf? … neither do I.

#PackingNotes: I have enough sweaters to survive a winter in Pluto.

#PackingNotes: clothes hangers are intelligent beings. When threatened, they form packs and work together to avoid going into boxes.

There must be a glitch in the Matrix - snow in may? -.

And all my winter stuff is packed in a box.

Ouch.

Iron Man 2: not as great as the first one, but not a franchise killer (★★★☆☆)

Everybody is claiming support for HTML5 as a way to weaken Adobe Flash before pushing their own agenda.

Taxes filled. I must say that the official Norwegian online tax submission is 10x simpler than US alternatives.

It’s getting tiring to write “… iPhones, iPods and iPads” every damn time. Thinking of using iProds.

Adobe really needs to have an amazing Flash version for Android soon, or embrace HTML5. The burden of proof is theirs, not Apple’s.

Damn, I was counting on WWDC being on late June.

Back in Oslo after a month. Landlord asked permission come in and “arrange some stuff” for pics. Walked into a completely new apartment.

Sleepless after an afternoon of kidnapping horror stories. My neighbor being the main character of the most recent one. #imissoslo

Que sabroso es votar.

There is something really fun about bringing a 5 y/o laptop back to life, and setting it up “just right”

Impresionante como “¿muerto quiere misa?” y “¿tico quieres pizza?” suenan parecido, y significan lo mismo.

Missed. My. Flight.

Any recommendation of international movers in Europe? Finding lots of brokers online, but not the companies that do the work

Madrid, amazing friends, great weather, and abundant food and caña. Good times.

Y ahora a ver a los madrileños estresados en el segundo tiempo. Grande fiesta o grande rasca.

Win-win?

Walked around city. Visited a museum. Slept on the park after watching iPhone OS 4 keynote, and soon meeting friends. Near perfect day.

In Genoa. Trully beautiful city, filled with, ehm, beautiful stuff. No Apple Store, but at the moment, couldn’t care less.

In Paris. My “femmes with guitars” playlist never sounded so good.

I know that in India, if you’re one in a million, there are 1100 people just like you …

Ahh Paris, the city where you can eat deliciously without paying too mu … WTF? €39?

Had a great time. Pretty unique window shopping though.

Need a soundtrack for the next two weeks. Going to buy a few albums and search the iTunes attic for a few old ones. Any recos?

Testing geolocation on Twitter.

When I see a new iMac I’m convinced the iMac+iPad combo just makes sense. Then I use my MacBook on a different desk, an it sounds stupid.

phew, just made a big credit card payment. Remind me never again to think that a big limit is a good thing.

Amazon’s Kindle passive-aggressive ads against iPad: Easy to read, even on bright sunlight. Free 3G, no monthly contracts.

Seriously considering quitting Facebook for a personal tumblr blog. To login feels like a chore, and the interaction is just too shallow.

It is done. #ERP

Happy about tomorrow chill plans. Just what the doctor ordered after this week. Well, maybe not exactly his prescription, but close enough.

Book publishers: some “people” won’t just buy the paperback when the eBook is unavailable. They still get to read it. Connect the dots.

Europe has 731 million people speaking 23 languages. S America, 569 Million and 3 major ones.

No Excuse Not To Succeed

Not artsy enough for today’s concert at Blå. All I hear is static and echo.

“the simplest explanation is usually the right one” vs. “things aren’t always what they seem”. My brain needs a strategy meeting.

If you’re reading this tweet from Boston in 2007. Please find me and demand that I take the negotiation class, no matter the schedule.

Don’t worry, given my skills, I won’t be able to say no. Also, feel free to tell me that my Mom was right, cargo pants aren’t cool again.

Some emails can knock your air out.

Really beautiful day in Oslo. Brain keeps saying “Must go out!”, body answers: “check the temperature, you dense grey goo”.

About to see in 3D how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Just heard some great news from great friends. Was reminded that you shouldn’t fret 9-5 too much. Life happens from 5-9.

Done for the night. See you all in six hours.

About 40 screenshots to go #1050isgonnarock

Always remember: when in doubt, restart.

If you’re ever cooking, and for the life of you - suddenly can’t find the recipe book. Check the fridge.

Previous tweet misunderstood. Not ↓, just making a peculiar joke. Anyways, #ERP’it.

If I don’t have the skills to fill my competence skills in the #ERP system, should I just take the hint?

Cold, dark and snowy. IPod shuffle playlist just turned suicidal. What an #ERP walk home.

Just had an uplifting chat about possible future plans with a good friend.

Crazy talk, but still interesting.

I’m wary of websites that put the US on top of the country pull-down list.

Does it have a silent “A” in front that I can’t see?

Can’t believe I hadn’t seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang before. Brilliant movie.

Just finished The Girl Who Played with Fire. Liked 1st one better, but still good enough. Looking for next book on Kindle store.

Ender’s Game is the first book on my reading list not available for the Kindle.

Will probably go with Michael Crichton’s Pirate Latitudes

Less that half-way through, and today’s work day sucks. I have: angry, sarcastic, condescending and questioning emails on my inbox.

Snowboarding was great! Managed to stand long enought to say: ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Doing benchmarks is so much fun when you win.

Specially by a whole lot.

Damn. Just dreamt I was being mugged at gunpoint. There was no indication, but I knew I was back in Caracas.

The idea that a package sent from Florida on monday arrived two days later still baffles me.

I hate PayPal so much.

Unlike the iPhoneOS, OS X and Windows are full of UI dead-ends. Menus and dialogs that after you arrive, you can’t easily get back from.

Feliz Dia Palíndromo! 01022010

Keep thinking that  is trying to tell us what we don’t wanna hear:

Humans are the ones that can’t multitask.

There should never be a Sync button on an App. It’s either an option that’s enabled and works in the background, or it’s useless.

Could the iPad’s 3G weird Micro Sim be more about an iPod touch 3G?

Maybe  is segmenting 3G: iPhone (voice), iPad/iPod/MacBook (data)

Remember to reset your iPhone if it’s acting up. It may put a strong face, but it still has a desktop OS inside.

I dreamt about the Apple tablet last night. I was playing a board game on it with a friend.

Stupidly, I forgot to snap a pic.

Back in Oslo. Everything is very white and very cold. Just want to get home, eat a soup and go to sleep.

Happy new year/decade everyone.

Have fun and be safe. It’s going to be a great year.

Well, I think everything is done. Or as done as you can make it without coding anything. Now, off to pack for my trip home! #arenitaplayita

Aww crap.

I think world leaders have not seen enough “killer asteroid” type movies.

And people have seen too many.

Having a not-great day.

Am I calm? I’m fucking ZEN!

Just ordered me-dad and me-self two Kindle’s for Xmas.

You can now feel safe that Apple is going to release the tablet tomorrow then.

Twitter is finding out about “things” before some mailinglists.

seriously considering opening a new mail account just for humans. Services/lists emails are taking over my inbox. Any suggestions?

Questions to answer on any project doc:

Rename headlines as needed.

Just used “iffy” in a troubleshooting email reply. I just know I’ll regret it.

I had completely forgotten that the tv was announced the same day as the iPhone. Talk about being overshadowed since birth.

The weather sponsored test for foreigners in Norway is over. Rainy Nov is gone. Cold -yet blue or snowy- Dec is here.

MacBook media center won’t start again. What am I supposed to do? Read? … oh, right.

But need to fix it first.

Girl who was walking really fast and turning around in front of me. Sorry if I scared you. Had my hoodie on cause it was cold.

Twitter should have a friday night filter. The norwegian tweets I’m seeing are similar to the Venezuelan and east coast tweets I’ll soon see

Every time I say “it’s snowing, it’s snowing. God I hate this weather”, I’m quoting a Fointains of Wayne song. Don’t feel bad Oslo.

«emailing is not work» That’s why engineering types write short and nasty ones and marketing types write long and flamboyant ones.

Feeling kinda of dirty for using iWeb on a site project I’m helping out on. But it’s sooooo easy to use, and fits the bill perfectly.

Can anybody suggest good Windows software product pages? have a bunch of Mac ones, but few from the Windows world.

Just ordered my first Pizza online in Oslo. Can’t believe it took me a year. Will see everybody again in Spring!

Random thought: a black bear with insomnia during hibernation must be really bored. Or pissed.

Going to People’s for brunch/lunch. In case anyone wants to join.

Yikes! Kindle International Edition: $279, Shipping: $20.98, Import fees to Norway: $75.00.

Think I’ll hold off for a bit still.

It’s past 7am in the East Coast. Bye bye twitter. As soon as the US wakes up, the #obama_nobel onslaught will begin.

Oslo’s duty free creates a conundrum: I need to spend to save money.

Flying to London for the weekend. Must not buy a Sony e-book reader, must not buy a … Kinda glad my card smells like burned plastic.

Just bought online Assassin’s Creed and Little Big Planet for my new PS3. Couldn’t resist it.

What a hellish day. Meetings are productivity bloodsuckers.

Back in Oslo. Turkey was great. Need to go trough 1000+ pics to make something shareable.

Sarps b-day party was incre-wait for it-dible. Headache is a reminder of the good times.

Leaving for turkey! I think I figured out how we can make nano CPU processors. Will tweet when I land.

Sometimes I appreciate the productivity elegance of not answering an email. It’s the Norwegian way of saying NO.

MacBook mediacenter now up and running again with Snow Leopard + Miro + Boxee. Suck on that TV (which I also own btw)

Editing actual content in XML is like, like, hmmm. It sucks!

Country compatibility check #7: You’re the scary one in a dark alley.

A blank canvas paralyzes me. Templates, examples and blueprints get me going.  was right: Rip. Mix. Burn.

I hate DVD media so much. Why can’t I download an OS image to an USB drive? Screw the fruit company, going to bittorrent.

Took hard drive out. It’s dead alright. Sounds like an old 14.4 modem trying to connect. I think I have original one somewhere.

Media center MacBook just died. Looks like hard drive is fried, then I’ll take this in stride. It’s not true I cried. Word.

Rework took a bit longer than expected, but happy with the results. Let’s see what the rest of the team thinks.

Yikes. It has been actually 6 years since Reloaded! They must be right: Time heals everything.

5 years after watching it (twice) in theaters, The Matrix Reloaded still does not deserve to be called a sequel. Great F/X. Bland world.

rum with iced tea makes the clouds go away. And also smile like a bloody idiot.

Had whale steak last weekend and elk burgers last night. If trend continues, will probably have fried puppies by summer’s end.

Rainy day in Oslo. Not that Norwegians notice.

Hmm. My “trick” to use • in front of some playlist names (• Latest podcasts) to keep them on top, doesn’t work in OS 3.0.

OS 3.0 up and running on my unlocked 1st gen iphone. Feels snappier™

It was a long day. Good news that tomorrow is going to be … a little shorter. Yet more intensive.

Looks like tomorrow is going to be a loooong day.

Healthy wrap place around the corner from office is turning into a spicy kebab and pizza. How sad. Will report on kebab and pizza soon.

Darn. I was so tired last night that I left the fridge open. The germ freak in me will probably throw everything out.

Back at work. Lots of it.

Hmm. Surprising how a little a little rum on the iced tea helps with video editing creativity.

Weird, twitpic points to another pic than the one I took. This could potentially be scary.

Really liked the Star Trek movie. Surprised how they managed to balance 6 TV series and 10 movies and keep it a good blockbuster.

Gonna write a userscript that searches thepiratebay.org every time a site displays “This video is not available in your country”

… Or maybe they’re convinced that no flu can survive aquavit. Which is probably a scientifict fact.

On plane full of norwegians. Not one mouth mask. Pretty sure attitude is: if we’re gonna die, might as well be comfortable.

Leaving for Paris to meetup with sis and mum. Found the napkin with solution to Riemann Hypothesis.

How gullible. I felt happy reading something is available exclusively for . When it actually means it’s only ready for that .

Another person told me I spoke english with scandinavian accent! Ja? Nie. It will be a loooong time before I speak norsk with any accent

Let me say this in the nicest way possible: the new Aluminum MacBook battery sucks ass vs. the previous white one.

Leaving for a weekend in London. Hope the weather is as nice as Oslo.

Btw, I think I solved the Riemann Hypothesis in a napkin. Will post it when I land

Arrived in London. Thank you norwegian.no for losing the bag you took from me at the door. Pendejos.

iPhone completely locked up when I unplugged headphones. Weird.

I think it’s officially time to put away the winter jacket. Beautiful day in Oslo!
