Thanks Steve.
It’s almost 8 years since I got my first Mac. Which I bought without even see it till I got mine in my hands. I was between Sony Vaio and iBook G4. The Mac was cheaper, so I got the Mac. One of the best decisions I ever made.
It was a beautiful experience, I had no knowledge about how beautiful it was since I turn it on for the very first time.
I have never went back to PC anymore. Ever.

And I thought to do something about it. I don’t have any money to buy Sortfolio. But I can get them a new home! Why not?
So, here is:
And you can see this new feature that can work great.

Execution is everything: Connect.me case
UPDATE April 6th 2011 - I started to build this project no matter what. Front-end is almost done :)

The gap between designers on Dribbble
This is was the original subject I wanted to publish when I thought to write about Dribbble. But it was better to tell my success story before to not misunderstood anything.
Like I said in my previous post, I’m a huge addicted to Dribbble, I’m trying several ways to succeed on that community getting new followers everyday. It’s really really hard, believe me.
But I’m not...

After 2 days I got my invitation thanks to Andy Clarke from Stuff...
My marketplace story
So here is the story. I saw about 3 years ago myself as a designer in progress. I was doing a lot of designs for Sitepoint (now 99designs). I won my first contest, my first try. Wow, I said, I have something in here, I should participate in more. Which I did and I won more contests as well. It was a nice way to make money, but I was doing it for the feeling of winning between other 50 people....

Apple's Mac App Store & OS X Lion: The end of...
I can imagine me to start using the websites I go everyday using their apps right into my desktop without having to use a browser anymore.
It’s funny that Apple started backyards with the Apps. They have more applications for their mobile devices than their desktop/laptop computers.
Now with the release of Mac OS X Lion, we can notice that it will be like an iPhone/iPad. The experience on...

The browser is your blank canvas
After a nice and short chat with Jacob Thomas (@jakeup) I was motivated to write my first post related to web design. My passion.
How do we start creating a great web design? Every designer has his own routine. This includes collecting all the assets, reviewing the information from the client and doing a research about the branding/product/app of the website, we are going to make.
