Univision’s Maria Elena Salinas interviewed Charlie Sheen for Aqui y Ahora for his new show, Anger Managemen, on Fox. Comments in the Latin community seem to have been pretty negative, with one blogger asking Charlie “to re-enter the Latino denial closet.

News that catches my eye, be it international or otherwise.
Why it happened again. An earthquake just hit Chile, before 9pm, local time.
Well, most everyone in the world knows about the huge 8.9 earthquake that hit just days ago (on Friday). It’s not the first time this has happened to this degree in this quake ridden landscape. Geological evidence shows that there was a quake of similar magnitude in 800 A.D. (under the “How tsunamis happen” segment).…
Update The newspaper La Discusión decided to mention the exhibition. Even yours truly shows up in a picture. Works by various German artists entitled Exposición Artistas Alemanes-Grabadores de Sajonia Dresden were displayed at the Museo Internacional de la Gráfica de Chillán on January 28, 2011.

Well, so long to SkreemR.org! They closed sometime in 2010. If you hadn’t heard about SkreemR, it was fantastic search engine that scoured the net in search of music (mp3s, podcasts, remixes, & ringtones,).

Earlier this year, Oracle bought Sun Microsystems, the creator of Solaris (and OpenSolaris) –shutting down OpenSolaris. Well, no big surprise there –considering I don’t think of “Oracle” when I think “Free Source benefactor”– and they’ve confirmed this image. Despite having unparalleled in-house utilities such as ZFS, Sun had been losing market share and product visibility…
On March 15, 2010, near 11:00 P.M local time., two earthquakes hit Chile.
Lakitas Matriasaya is an independent Andean musical band that consists mainly of Andean panpipes and two drums –a bass and snare drum (and a third percussionist by way of hand-held cymbals). Fifteen members make up the band at present. Twelve pipers sing and play the pipes, while three play percussion. The band formed in Valparaíso,…
