Best Web Site

Do you like to discover new sites? Do you like to spend your time going through the best web sites on the net? Go and visit stumbleupon. It isn`t a web page, it is a web tool bar you can install on your browser and once you install it and made your own session it let you go between pages that are related to the topics that you like such as arts, design, computer games, pets and a lot of other kind of webpage, and as the name says, you go stumbling in the web. If you like what it brings to you can give it a "thumbs up", and if you don`t like it, you can give it a "thumbs down" and this is the way how it works, using the opinion of millions of users (8,548,543 to be exact) so, if someone who see a page related to design likes it, may be another guy who likes the same topics likes it too.
It`s maybe the best plugging that I’ve ever used, but be careful.... it can be addictive...I`m serious.(If you click on the image you will see a little example about how addictive it can be.)

friends

I think I`m a very social person, I love to share an talk with people, I like to learn and teach to other guys, I love to have friends, but I don`t have a friend closer than mi nephew. His name is Emilio and is the only son of my sister Patricia, he`s 27 years old and we grew up together, as brothers. We have expend a lot of time together in our childhood playing "super Nintendo", and talking about anything, almost the 80% of the movies that I’ve seen was watching on his tv (I have to say his taste for movies it`s very broad, from excellent movies to others that you only can say "why am i watching this?!" but at least it`s very funny). When we were younger we looked very alike and always the people said we were brothers but now we have a lot of differences in our way to see the world and the things that are around us. He is engineering and he usually have a very rational way to think, but his mind seems to be the only way to him to see the world. By the other hand I`m very emotional to think so sometimes we have a very opposite perspective of life. But maybe this is what make us so very good friends, our differences make us think in other ways, and that make us grow up, and also make our friendship stronger

Giorgetto Giugiaro

I think he is one of the best designers, `cause his designs are known almost in every place, in every country (but the most of people doesn`t know his name).
He was born in 1938, in Italy, he is a car designer who has worked in almost thirty enterprises , like FIAT, BMV, Alfa Romeo, Audi, Daewoo, Ferrari, Ford, Hyundai, Izuzu, Toyota, Volkswagen, Subaru, Seat, Renault and Lamborghini. His designs are bigger than him, that’s why I think he`s one of the most popular designers in the world. He even is the designer of the iconic car of “Back to the Future”, the De Lorean DMC-12. He introduced the highly angular "folded paper" era in 1970 with very straight lined design to make the cars stronger and lighter by using folds on the bodywork.
And if it`s not enough to believe he is a grat designer, he was the winner of the “Car designer of the Century” in 1999.
