So, today is going to get personal... Coffee, rain and te kind of post, enjoy:

I remember like it was yesterday, I was with my mom in the Panama Airport, in transit to Newark on our way to Denmark. The TVs around us suddenly started to get A LOT of attention, my mom went to see what the fuss was about and when she saw the TV nearby she held her breath, as if hoping whatever she was looking at was not real... Tears came down her cheeks and I got scared. The news header read "Michael Jackson found dead" and I was as confused as could be. HOW?? How in the world could she be crying this much for someone she never knew, she never met...

Oh but karma is a... you know what. Just 2 years later I would find out what my mom felt and 3 years after that again. Michael Jackson died in 2009, Steve Jobs in 2011, and Robin Williams in 2014. Jobs and Williams' deaths hit me harder than I ever thought an unknown human being would make me cry.  Some may think it's stupid, dramatic, whatever... but it was as real as I can think about it. My favorite movies ever are Dead Poets Society and What Dreams May Come and to this day I will watch them both at least once every 2 months. And if you have read my previous posts about movies, you know that my mother made me talk about the meaning of the movies I watched so I would not just watch movies, but also learn from them.

"That which you believe becomes your world"

Jobs and Williams' lives influenced mine more than many people that are physically close. They created my idea that everyone has their own craziness, we all have a spark of insanity that enriches the world with its originality. Jobs was the one who showed me that you will only truly regret the things you did not do, and Williams taught me that you must learn to cherish your own smile before you can enjoy making others smile.

So don't hide your emotions, don't think less of yourself when your sad or scared. Think of it as a movie, one that you have to analyze to see what you learn. So that sad makes you cherish happy, and fear makes you cherish proud.

P.S. If you guys have been enjoying the blog I have just submitted my first audio podcast to iTunes. It is being reviewed but as SOON as it is up I will let you guys know. So follow me @dvd19931 everywhere and of course the podcast is called The AppleWorm Podcast.

Let the tech year unfold...

The new Apple event was announced a couple of days back. And my last tech-episode on the podcast got me thinking about this year and the current "trends" in tech. I believe that Apple has one of the biggest challenges you could ever hear in front of them: adapt to survive WHILE BEING ON TOP. Steve Jobs was an amazing underdog, a creative mastermind that rose to the top of the tech community at his time and shot Apple like a rocket to the summit of the world as one of the most influential and prosperous companies ever... However, that IS NOT the company that Tim Cook has had to deal with. Apple is now working in saturated laptop and smartphone markets and is trying to maintain its innovation and creativity. People think it is easy to stay on top... Amazon has had to get all kinds of creative by entering product line, new services offers and buying pieces of the market they compete in as they did with Whole Foods. Facebook is saved by the quality of companies like In

What does Captain Marvel MEAN to the MCU?

So, here's the deal. I did a podcast entry about captain marvel and my thoughts on the movie and how unimpressed I was about some things and how glad and proud other parts of the movie made me. And that’s when it came to me: the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Captain Marvel was not the best movie, it was a necessary one. Clearly, the end of an era approaches quickly as April is almost here with Endgame. Do you think for a minute that Kevin Feige is done with his plan for the MCU? Do you think that they introduced the world to such great successful Black Panther, Spiderman, Captain Marvel, Guardians of the Galaxy AND Dr. Strange just because? Well if you do, you have something else coming your way… And that is the only thing I fear in the MCU. You see, the success story of Marvel has been with a great formula and an expansive universe that has great comedy, range and plot; that same amazing formula has been leading up this very important and climatic movie call

Apple's Endgame

So, here we are. Apple announced hardware via internet and called everyone in for services… Was the latter part of the presentation awkward? Yes. Could it have been planned in a more effective way? Probably. However, we got what we got and we must understand that Apple does not act without a plan. Here is my analysis of the true importance behind the event this past Monday: The Mac, the iPod, the MacBook Air, the iPhone, the iPad, the Apple Watch these are all attempts at products to drive the business. Some way more successful than others, they all have made what Apple is and will continue to be today. You see, there is a commonality amongst those products… They are not services. And THAT is exactly what Apple told the world on Monday: services are the future. Does this mean that it is THE END for iPhone, Apple Watch, etc. etc.? HELL NO! It means that the market is the market! And the iPhone is stagnating and decreasing in sales, the Mac, iPad and even Apple Watch cannot sus
