I just go berserk with this design! Modern Office at your backyard

via toxel.com

I'm a design freak. I love great product design and inspiration comes for me when I'm surrounded with beauty.
I've seen these ever growing backyard offices and I'm delirious to have one. It's not a question of isolation. It's a question of mind breaking rules and pre-defined mindsets.

This one then, it's a real mess. I don't even know how to begin.

Wonderful talk about DOING IT instead of just thinking of it - Seth Godin Conference Video

via the99percent.com

This is really, really important. Every single day I see somebody talk about a wonderful idea they had about a business of something, a book, a document, etc. But it's just a few days on a year that I see somebody really do something about it and start... and complete something. They take the two initial breaths need it to succeed and complete the task.

I'm doing my part. I'm starting a new thing/business/project/whatever at least, one a month. And I'm keeping doing that as long as I'm capable of... I'm on the "shipping" team.

Is digital overpass the real life?

Funny how this goes. A few years ago, let's say 2. I was the only one geek enough in my home to be almost every time at a laptop or on my iPhone, making the data flow.
Today, I'm at my couch with the laptop on my knees, but my wife is at the living room with hers and my daughter is at her room with a computer as well. Amazing! This keeps me thinking: Is real life becoming more and more digital?

Well... I don't like the idea. So I'm going to disconnect right away and try to recuperate them as well.

Let's Work!

Do you see all this mess above? It's a photo of my 18th month year old baby girl having a blast on our living room. Just playing without care about the fuss and mess around her. She has 18 months old. She doesn't know what mess, confusion or cleaning up means.
And that's ok.

And seeing this photo I need to say, this is the time of her life. And mine! 

Seeing this photo also reminds me to think on the real important stuff.
The news and feedbacks reminds us that there's a crisis breathing on our necks. That the unemployment rates are raising like a firecracker, ready to explode. It's expected a 21% unemployment rate in Spain until final 2010, just next to me. It's huge.
In Portugal (my home country) things are not so desperate, but still the perspectives are not good.

But seeing this picture above teaches me a lesson given by my baby girl. Focus on what's important. In her case is playing and being happy. In my case, is working on what I enjoy doing and being happy as well. 
My solution for 2010 and 2011 years is basic and simple. Let's Work! Let's work like never before. We need to work more and better than ever, for the same money. If we do this, we can live through this crisis and expect the deserved reward as soon as things get better.

And my migration to Mac is greater than ever. Now, Exchange services better on Mail.app than Entourage!

These few days, my company corporate e-mail services have changed their Exchange Services Provider and the new one doesn't have Mac Support. They don't work with Macs and don't have special configurations for Macintosh.
This could demand my re-migraton to Microsoft eco-system all over again, right?
Actually, NO!

Why? Because, the problem was not about Exchange configurations. It was the Microsoft Entourage configurations necessities that didn't worked with what our provider has given us.
So, what did I to solve this thing? I've opened my Mail.app which I already used for personal e-mail accounts and create my business account on the fly.
It was not complex, it even asked few data than the Outlook for Windows version. And it worked perfectly. Now I have my e-mails being handled more effectively by Mail.app, my Contacts synced with AddressBook.app and my Appointments all sync with iCal.app.
It's tremendous, even better and easily work with Exchange Server in a Snow Leopard environment.

Now, I don't use Entourage anymore, reason why I had bought Office for Mac before (they didn't sold it in separately in my country). So, when I need to upgrade or whatever, I just pass to iWork from Mac and that's it.

Microsoft shouldn't be worried. I'm just a single user. Just one person. They still have the OS and Software leadership... don't they?

ATTENTION: The trademarks, logos and other mentions to corporate or other, are propriety of their respective owners. Their mentions were for descriptive example and I can remove them if asked by the respective owners.
