This summer i went to Madrid to travel and do some freelance work with SGAE [the spanish RIIA.. :/ ] and Universidad Complutense de Madrid. I also worked with The Cocktail (a great hci / usability / web development studio near the Santiago Bernabeu) with some of the great people (and dogs) from the hispanic internet industry. The city is great, the food /and tapas/ are just delicious, the weather in summer just perfect (and burning), good traveling around, really bad television /well, what do you expect, is terrible everywhere//-.

a couple of tips: La Casa Encendida the weekends for some art expositions, new media installations, b-movies and great live music. They had their own Dorkbot too. And don’t forget the tortilla.

a little bit discontinued, my 3G 40GB ipod doesnt seems to bother about their new video-powered byproducts. a really good gadget, a beautiful designed little thing that just gives and gives great music. i dont know if this can be assured, but apple just make history making people hearing music again. even my father got his ipod, and uses it everyday [he got an iTrip even].

A really good choice [well, probably you know this already]. And really worth doing.

[Just find any Sufjan Stevens and play it loud.]

i had an 550mhz g4 ti and every day i think it’s the best investement i’ve ever done. get one, get the feel of osx and realize that computers can be beautiful and easy to use too.

go for it.
