Christian Oliver’s digital thoughts

I went to Caracas for a few days of intense work with El Universal. Mostly I was at the Upfront sale for 2009 advertising space, where they exhibited a video starring me. Also got to work on other aspects of my project and see part of the family.

More work with El Universal

El Universal in Caracas produced a video with me about their future challenges and how media consumption is changing with the advent of media fragmentation. Here it is.

I have to translate it into english but most will already see the point. It was hard to convey so many details in 3 minutes. The first script I wrote took around 8 minutes, thus we had to chop it a lot.

Yesterday I received my new MacBook. It’s meant to replace the MacBook Pro I’ve had for more than 2 years now. It’s not that that MacBook Pro really needed replacing as it works great. I’m most surprised at how long I was able to keep my old MacBook Pro and how well it still performs. That NEVER happened to me while I used Windows based PCs. I think my record for keeping a laptop might have been a year and a half at MOST.

I’m still impressed at how quickly one can be operational on a new Mac. It would normally take me days to have a Windows machine fully operational with all my software and settings properly adjusted.

Here are some pictures of my unboxing and I placed a video in YouTube which has been surprisingly commented. Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU73tOt4GHY
