Dusk (my favorite part of the day) and some pics of catching the lightning. All taken on the Wall in Cartagena, Bolivar, Colombia Dusk is the most beautiful part of the day, when things calm down, people walk more slowly, the air feels cooler and everything becomes more mysterious and beautiful.

Take that heat in Cartagena
On Tuesday morning (yesterday), after 14 hours on one bus, 2 hours on another and 45 minutes on the 3rd….. I arrived in Cartagena from San Gil. The heat here is just grueling. If I move at my normal pace, it’s literally impossible to stop sweating. Shower you say? Think again. I AM a walking…

Sheer force or a lucky break
This article refers to Jobs’ Stanford commencement speech where he advised to follow your passion. But he [himself] didn’t follow this simple advice. Apple Computer was decidedly not born out of passion, but instead was the result of a lucky break—a “small-time” scheme that unexpectedly took off.” Similar to Malcolm Gladwell’s writings, this article points…

http://vimeo.com/25521307 Bogota Change (IMDB) is an hour long video as part of the series called Cities on Speed. I found it very informative in understanding the recent history, political and socioeconomic challenges this beautiful and bursting-through-the-seams city is facing. It’s also a fantastic case study of a very unconventional (seriously!), 2 time Mayor of Bogota, Antanas…
