The Laws of Simplicity

The laws of simplicity made by John Maeda from MIT, they are not only tips for creating a good graphical user interface design, they are generic design patterns found to make the complicated simple, these are the ones that I like:

* Reduce: The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction.

* Organize: Organization makes a system of many appear fewer.

* Time: Savings in time feel like simplicity.

* Learn: Knowledge makes everything simpler.

* Differences: Simplicity and complexity need each other.

* Context: What lies in the periphery of simplicity is definitely not peripheral.

* Failure: Some things can never be made simple.

* The One: Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.

Jesucristo (Jesus Christ)

{español}
Cristo fue tratado como nosotros merecemos a fin de que nosotros pudiésemos ser tratados como El merece. Fue condenado por nuestros pecados, en los que no había participado, a fin de que nosotros pudiésemos ser justificados por su justicia, en la cual no habíamos participado. El sufrió la muerte nuestra, a fin de que pudiésemos recibir la vida suya.

{english}
Christ was treated as we deserve, that we might be treated as He deserves. He was condemned for our sins, in which He had no share, that we might be justified by His righteousness, in which we had no share. He suffered the death which was ours, that we might receive the life which was His.

— Ellen G. White

Today was my first day @ Google

Today was my first day at Google, I am tired but very excited to start a new journey. The orientation was really good, it was crowded, a lot of information but if you are organized and manage it well, it is just fine. The tour was great, good food, I still have a lot to see, Googleplex is huge, there is even more buildings that I was not aware of.

I met part of my team today, great people, nice environment, I know this was most definitely the right choice for my career development. I am ready for more this week.

My Yahoo! Goodbye e-mail

Today is my last day at Yahoo. I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who I have worked with over the years. My time at Yahoo has been exciting, challenging, engaging, educational, rewarding and always changing.

When you live on the Internet, no one is ever very far.
