  • Manny Hernandez gave 5 stars to: Colma

    Colma ~ Buckethead
     
    5.0 out of 5 stars Ambient guitar that doesn't get old, July 20, 2008
    I discovered this album by Buckethead more than ten years after it was originally released. As with other musical findings, I started to wonder how can someone produce an album of such incredible beauty.

    Not only was the album one that crossed genre borders, by blending in ambient sounds with a rock guitar sound: it was ahead of its time. A couple of years after the release of Colma, guitar legend, Joe Satriani released Engines of Creation where the title track, along with "Until We Say Goodbye" and "Clouds Race Across The Sky" remind of many of the songs on this album.

    The sound Buckethead delivers here brings to mind the Jeff Beck from "We ended up as lovers." Some criticize this album as being too soft. To me it demonstrates the versatility of a musician who can comfortably move across the spectrum.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisito: el mejor album en español del 2008, July 15, 2008
    Este proyecto, liderizado por el mega-productor Gustavo Santaolalla, sale a la venta en USA varios meses despues de haber visto la luz del dia. La espera valio la pena, por cuanto la nueva edicion contiene tres temas mas que el original. El ensamble Argentino-Uruguayo sigue revetando la liga con su mezcla exquisita de ElectroTango que tanta falta nos hace: bandoneones se intercambian con baterias, bajos y voces. Juan Subira, Gustavo Cerati, Julieta Venegas, Elvis Costello y Nelly Furtado destacan entra los vocalistas que le dan a este album un toque un tanto diferente a los anteriores.

    Altamente recomendable para los fanaticos del genero, asi como seguidores del chillout, lounge y todo el material genial que sale del coco de Gustavo Santaolalla.

    Agua ~ Harold Budd
     
    3.0 out of 5 stars The weakest of his works..., July 13, 2008
    I have been an admirer of Budd since I first heard his masterpiece The Pavilion of Dreams about five years ago. Since then, every collaboration between him and other artists (Brian Eno, Robin Guthrie) I've heard has been magical.

    Today I am sad to report this album as being the weakest of his works I have listened to date. First, this comes across as a little more than your average new age album, lacking substance in the way of ambient music. Besides that, the clapping at the end of each track (this is a live album, after all) really takes away a lot from the atmosphere that he is able to create if you forget about the fact that it's not one of his best pieces.

    Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide: Business thinking and strategies behind successful Web 2.0 implementations. by Amy Shuen

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for both, entrepreneur and business students, July 10, 2008
    Relying on case studies ranging from Flickr and Facebook to Netflix and LinkedIn, "Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide" provides entrepreneurs, corporations and business administration students equally with a resource to make sense of the business side of all things Web 2.0.

    The book doesn't go into technicalities or spend time on design matters as they typically appear in Web 2.0 applications today: as a matter of fact, it abstracts itself from look and feel of the sites analyzed, focusing on how the different sites make money.

    The result is a five step action plan that starts with building on collective user value (users no longer are mere consumers of content, but rather active contributors and creators); activating network effects (seeking the ways in which a business can leverage the multiple connections between the layers, places and groups and how they can grow your offering); working through social networks (the fundamental building block of the Web 2.0 economy); dynamically syndicating competence (picking your battles and doing what you do best faster, making it accessible to more people); and recombining innovations (looking for ways to connect the online with the offline, the new with the old).

    The result is a book that is highly recommended if you are looking to take your business to the next level of the social web: a place where being social is not merely an option but a requirement.

  • Manny Hernandez gave 4 stars to: Drupal 5 Themes

    Drupal 5 Themes by Ric Shreves
     
    4.0 out of 5 stars The book I wish I had read a year ago!, July 7, 2008
    Going through the pages of "Drupal 5 Themes" I kept thinking how useful it would have been to have this book in my hands a little over a year ago, as I was first dabbling with Drupal. This title complements very nicely Drupal: Creating Blogs, Forums, Portals, and Community Websites by focusing on making your Drupal-based site look and feel the way you want it to, departing as much as possible from the native themes available through the Drupal community.

    The book is not meant for those who are not familiar with a bit of PHP and CSS and should not be tackled before being clear on the basics of Drupal. The only downside to the book as far as I am concerned is the lack of color in the illustrations: while not critical, it would help get the point across better in a few places.
