Must admit, don't have time to blog something interesting lately, I'm finishing several websites, one eCommerce site and also, have some ideas about splitting my showroom. I also prepared some simple jQuery and ExpressionEngine tips and How-to which could help someone, I hope so lol. Stay tuned.

iPollo (hay Pollo), dancing chicken

2009-09-16T15:34:08+00:00

hay Pollo (iChicken) I’m really starting to doubt the quality of some Ads agency. If client says; “Wow, I like that Apple ads, can you make me one”, your answer shouldn’t be “Of course, how many?”. I saw this Ad few days ago on the streets of Mexico City. There are several blogs (spanish) talking about this ad published all over the Mexico.

Summer report and update

2009-08-04T17:53:11+00:00

I've been inactive last few months due several big projects, one of them went public few weeks ago. It's a website for Novigrad Hotel & Camps company. Four language site with plenty of great shots and easy blue/green design. The other project is much bigger, and very very interesting. I can’t say much for now, but the launch is predicted for Sept/Oct of this year. New occupation for the weekends While waiting for new Starcraft 2 to come out, I started to play not-so-new online game called "Eve Online", so, for now, a great time killer. iTunes Music finally in Mexico Apple finally settled up all things necessary for opening Itunes Music in Mexico, we had App Store running for a while, but what I was missing were songs, so, thank you Apple!

Can Ad agencies make something original today?

2009-07-31T15:42:04+00:00

Sure they can! But it's always interesting being "inspired" by some great idea. Why? Well, first; because it's a great idea, why not making something like that, and of course they are counting on the people who didn't saw that idea already, and on people who doesn't care really. We are surrounded with great and original designers and agencies, and of course with those who are copying others ideas, as we cannot do much, we can publish that "inspired" ideas on ours blogs and hope that someone will notice that, maybe the clients or maybe even the ad agencies.

Going back, good move Cinepolis Mexico!

2009-03-20T14:51:22+00:00

I just bought 2 tickets for new Watchman movie on the online ticket service of Cinepolis Mexico, not for the first time, I hate waiting lines :) After buying the tickets, 20 sec later I went to buy two more, and noticed that there is different price list, promotion prices (wtf?). The difference is 2US$, you’ll say “only 2$?”, for two people yes, imagine you bought tickets for 20 people. I have experience with reservation services and similar operations, it’s always best to call support and noticed them about that error, and that is what I did, but, guess what, here, the client have minimal rights, and for fault of services (as they sad “actualization of service”), I payed more (I don’t know if I’m the only one). So, I sad them to cancel that order and I will make the new one, but guess what, in the Terms & Conditions they say that all orders cannot be refundable. So, what more can I say? That leaves them the gate to steal from people, even if was their mistake. Nice. As I sad, I’m working with huge Hotel companies, and if something like this happens, the operator would do everything to keep the customer away from getting angry or disappointed, but in Cinepolis Mexico they don’t, they are very non polite and non professional. At the end, people like me are fighting for the clients trust on buying online, and other ones like Cinepolis Mexico is doing the opposite. Good move Cinepolis! Besides that, can’t wait to see the movie :))
