Banksy is in New York for a month.
With the title “Better Out than In”, there is a blog, unofficial twitter account (along with the hashtag #banksyny) since it is not linked in the blog, and Instagram (really? Instagram?… good grief; Im glad I dont have FaceBook so I can`t check if there is also a FB page)… even a phone number (1 800 6564271) for each piece for which you can call and listen to a great message about (also accessible through the blog).

A couple of weeks ago, we spent 10 days in Valencia (Spain). It was pure summer fun, from the food (including of course noodle paella “fideuá” with crayfish, and classic paella), to the beach and swimming pool (Valencia, Moraira with a million childhood memories of one of the best beaches in the Mediterranean, El Puig…), we enjoyed non-stop with the kids playing hide and seek, building sand castles, programming videogames, setting up a large screen “cinema” to watch cartoons, going to the Science Museum and Aquarium, and even doing homework.
On July 25 I was asked by someone at IBM to write an article about the use of the cloud in healthcare:
I’d like to offer you the opportunity to author an article which we would look to promote across all of our social properties, other external communications as well as our paid media sponsorships, i.e. blogs.
I was given suggestions on article length, topic, and keywords, but freedom to write whatever I wanted.
In a single word: security.
By now there is no doubt about the advantages of the cloud: easy collaboration, scalability, ubiquity, sync, cost savings (21% on average, according to AFCOM 2011, 40% according to our own customers), rapid deployment, etc.
There is also no doubt about the need for a move to the cloud in healthcare: according to Enterprise Strategy Group, by 2015 an average of 665TB of data will be generated per hospital per year.
I was named the winner of a Bronze Award in the Executive of the Year – Health Products & Services category in the 10th Annual International Business Awards today.
More than 3,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were considered in several categories, including Management Team of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year, among others. I won (bronze) in the Executive of the Year for Health Products & Services category.
On Tuesday August 13th (in case you did not notice, I am obviously not superstitious at all), I took a “red-eye” (so called because you arrive with red eyes) flight to Lima, Peru. Note to self number one: do not take one of the “official” taxis with a desk before the exit of the controlled area of the airport. $46 for a ride to downtown is a steal, no matter how luxurious and comfortable the car.
We got great gifts for our wedding, but hands down, the best (ever!) is A ROBOT.
My mother-in-law got us a robot. Got that? How cool is that!?
And it is not to make her daughter’s life easier, because I am the one who vacuums at home. She did it because it is cool. Heck yeah it is!
So the Roomba is nothing new. It has been around for a decade already.
