Finding a new focus

So it was tough leaving friends, community and associates in TO, but life's got to go on, some things we cannot change once we've chosen it. Now I've got to transpose stuff I've learnt in TO to DF! So where do I start?...The internet!

Volunteer experience enriched my life up North, so why not down south here as well? Happy clicking away and yippee, I found some interesting festivals coming up shortly here. (What good timing!)

FICCO (Festival Internacional de Cine Contemporáneo) is hosted by Cinemex from February 19 to March 2, 2008. This is their 5th festival.

I'd like to go to Guadalajara International Film Festival but I think it's about the same time, so maybe not this year.

Then there's also Guanajuato's "Expresión en Corto International Film Festival" , but it's pretty likely that I'd be mostly involved with Ambulante, the Travelling Documentary Film Festival which will start from Mexico City on February 1st and moving to other cities in Mexico, including, Morelia, León, Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez, Guadalajara, San Luís Potosí, Metepec, Cuernavaca, Puebla, Monterrey, San Cristóbal de las Casas, Xalapa, Mérida, Cancún y Oaxaca.

Don't forget to say hello if you run into me, ;)

Something to mark

Apple's iPhone stirs frenzy in United States

Have a thought about how this may be the turning point from linear typography hybridized with electricity towards a new frontier of non-linear/tactile orality.

I haven't even set foot on this country and I'm already in love with it.

Books I'm reading

Wikinomics, (I would really like to get in touch with Don Tapscott).


I find the subject of social networks fascinating, and I really enjoy using  Facebook.

I wanted to post links to Amazon for these books I'm recommending but found this instead: About tagging books.

Other books I've been dipping into since Jan. 2007:
