  • 20 Years Since my First Research Publication

    Today, exactly 20 years ago I presented my thesis at the Loyola Polytechnic. The thesis dealt with the economic impact of industrial robotics. The 120-pages research document was prepared by Francisco Aleman, Esteban Esteves, Victor Feliz, Jordhy Ledesma, Moises Luna and Jose Tamayo. The analysis considered developmental models from Japan, USA, Germany, Sweden and France and determined their fitness for Latin American industries. Although in Spanish, the document has full OCR capabilities so you may…

  • Mobile Commerce, AI, Wearables and Driverless Cars

    The smartphones we carry in our pockets are a million times more powerful than the supercomputers of the sixties. But the revolution doesn’t stop here: networking, software development and communications devices have also advanced at an exponential rate. My point being that the accelerating rate of improvement in information science will hit escape velocity very, very soon. Technology is penetrating our daily lives at very crazy rates. We now discover apps daily, purchase new hardware…

  • The Bilingual Store

    In this age of eCommerce, social media and big data-powered offers, how can established businesses compete against Internet moguls like Amazon.com? The answer might rest in the language you use to talk to your customers! Increasingly, Latinos have caught the attention of eCommerce operators and traditional store managers as the new key growth market. Several dynamics make Latinos a seductive target market, namely attachment, larger homes and a tendency to refer local businesses that cater…

  • Of Bodybuilders and Supermodels

    I can assure you, with complete certainty: those beauty queens were not born like that. They were born covered in nasty mucus, crying and completely naked (yes they were born naked!). Furthermore, their dresses are not sold by Sears, Kmart or Target. Quite possibly, you might have to scrape 50K for one of those babies (and the shoes run in the thousands as well). Yes, even beauty queens and supermodels have their tricks and more…

  • Common Mistakes in Website Performance Optimization

    Enterprises make a lot of mistakes when testing the performance of their websites. High-speed Internet access and ever more powerful servers, have given a good excuse to many IT managers and web producers to become a little bit lazy when testing and optimizing their websites. Nevertheless, the benefits of performance testing are unparalleled: speedier website loads, lower hosting costs, more sales, increased equipment durability, happier customers and faster backups are but a few of the…

  • The Great Educational Divide

    We need more people in the world that understand this!! (Cauchy’s Inequality) Regarding my collaboration with Math Multipliers, I would like to share some important documents regarding basic education in China and Latin America. The contrast in math education between this two regions is quite staggering. China has clear guidelines to use math as a tool that enriches the individual’s mind and brings forth a higher level of societal understanding thru abstract thinking, to this…

  • AgencyRank – A New Way to Reward Creative Professionals

    State of the Art in Digital Agency Ranking Our industry is a very subjective one. A client likes your design today and hates it tomorrow. You enter a Behance* profile and find very nice looking portfolios with sometimes, too much curation and end up with an under representative sample of work that only shows you the very best productions of a particular professional. The last group in the graph is essentially award-winning work, the middle…

  • Smart Watches: To Wear or not to Wear?

    The new Android operating system for wearables looks great. And, apparently, is a clear signal of new things to come in the industry. Android Wear might become the next new and shiny toy for your teenagers but it won’t move the needle for businesses in the next couple of years. Why, you might ask? Well, in this new device class the monetization king will be micro content (a.k.a notifications). And no social network (except perhaps…

  • Dreaming of A Planet for Every Human

    “It’s not because things are difficult that we dare not venture. It’s because we dare not venture that they are difficult.” – Seneca I wish that, in a handful of centuries, our race starts to contemplate the possibility of assigning a planet to every human. In my  dream I hope that humans, as a collective being, will be able to expand and conquer a non trivial slice of the Universe. Such magnificent wealth creation will…

  • Entrepreneurship a la Gordon Gekko

    Cold, ruthless, fearless and merciless. That’s the perfect entrepreneur. Silicon Valley is filled with smart people, but very few real entrepreneurs. Most are either “lollipops” or “wannabees”. Smart kids that want to make a difference and have the guts and intelligence to do so but, in actuality, that’s not enough to build an iconic company. To build companies you have to be prepared to make a lifetime commitment to a life of uncertainty, competition and…
