I’m posting this on the new version of Reinventar, the redesign is more or less finished and all the essential stuff are here (but expect some tweaking in the next days).
I think it’s more clean and some visual bugs are now gone, although I would like to hear from you and know what you think.

Someone sent my this handy guide to keep near you Apple computer or in the bag of your new Macbook, with only small 8 pages you have all the steps necessary to reanimate your Mac from not booting up or at least to copy all necessary data to another hard-drive. :|
Actually this could have been handy a few days ago when my Macbook Pro suddendly died on my hands and with no more options I had to return it to the store for repairing (whatever the problem it has).

This of course made things more difficult for me since I have a presentation scheduled for next week at Takeoff 2007 and alot of my files on weSpendmoney were on the hard-drive (not to mention other stuff).

Good thing I have a plan B for the conference that doesn’t envolve juggling, stand-up comedy or flying monkeys.

On another note, if you happen to be in Lisbon I recommend you visit BDMania, which is in my opinion one of the best places to get international comic books or other interesting/rare merchandise.

Spider-Man 3 is coming and it’s shaping up to be fantastic, in the meantime, here’s some juicy content from the extended fight scene with Doc Octupus on the train from the second movie on Youtube.

Posters for the upcoming Transformer’s film are up at SuperHeroHype.

Ruby in Portuguese was redesigned this weekend and is showing off a new warm look with colors based on red, wine, and black giving it a cosy feeling (erm, at least for me). Some bugs with Internet Explorer 7.0 were fixed and the archives are now fully working.

The new design was first shown in public at the “XVI jornadas de informatica” but we only managed to finish some of the details and tests now. I think it’s a great improvement and of course I’m hoping on more feedback and contributions from the rest of the comunity to keep pushing the site forward.

I’m also preparing a reboot for Reinventar in the next few days.

Adobe has announced the official launch of the Apollo platform - SDK available here , there’s still some features missing but I’m going to play around with it a little bit anyway.
I’m not sure where this is going for them, some of the examples weren’t very explicit, except maybe for Yourminis.

Highrise - a shared contact manager - is the much awaited new web app from 37signals, an approach to simplify the concept of CRM and bring it to small business or individuals.

I’ve been playing around with three recent web apps (ok, maybe not so recent), first off it’s Bubbl.us which is a mind-mapping application powered by Flash and available everywhere through a web-browser, Nice.
There’s keyboard shortcuts and you can save your projects to review later or just simply print them. It’s simple and very helpful and you can access it from everywhere fast.

I’ve been using Goplan since they were in private beta (or testing or whatever people are calling it now) and this week Webreakstuff officially launched they product and received good impressions from the blogosphere, a good step forward in online project management applications, be sure to take a look.

On the other side of productivity comes Twitter, which steals away my attention every other second but it keeps me informed of what my mates are doing or thinking (I’m in your mind!), by using the web page, sms or im (although it’s very unstable right now).

If you add Twittervision then you got a large scale map of people connecting with each other through the world, it’s kinda like being Prof. Xavier operating Cerebro but without the hassle of destroying everyone’s brains.

Oh, and Netvibes keeps getting better and better, I can’t imagine my daily scrapping for information without it.

By the way, it seems some people just realized we “discovered” (or bumped ) Australia along time ago.
