. Some nights enter our lives quietly and then stay with us forever—unexpected, unforgettable, and impossible not to smile about when we remember them. In my previous post, I wrote about the launch of The Art of Detachment in Madrid a couple of weeks ago—a magical evening surrounded by extraordinary people, where I had the […]
It has been a wonderful experience to revisit the Sistine Chapel, now at a distance from the keyboard, also in an exquisite 360º virtual composition of impeccable quality. The distant visit has been reinvented and the first button is the proof. In [...]
Today I got an email from Alberto Quiros, partner and DGC of jotabequ that says: “Hire an agency that wins awards in Costa Rica and the world”. Obviously I was interested, I clicked and stayed a long time with the new website [...]
WYSIWYG: What you see is what you get. As you see. As it is. No more, no less. That’s the way it is.

I agree with the person who said he preferred the future. After all, that’s where we’re going to spend the rest of our lives, right? Hmmm. Not so fast as the only instant we live in is the here and now. Definitely [...]
I have a signal from my body that you could help me interpret: it’s getting worse every year! That is, either the viruses are getting more and more powerful (like influenza), or I am not getting any younger. There could be a [...]

From the book by Armando Vargas Araya, La Vía Costarricense, published by EUNED in 2005, this is a wonderfully inspiring text as it initiates a broad, open and participatory process. What is La Via Costarricense? It is a dynamic conceptual tool to [...]
