Because Market is good but sometimes not enough to discover new apps, this is a list of the most interesting apps I've installed to my Android mobile.

• Androbex - Send files using Bluetooth (receiving files is planned)
• Babbler (Lite) - Facebook best app (until the official one gets released)
• Barcode Scanner - QR codes everywhere!
• Blocked! - Like Bejeweled puzzle game
• Droidify - Spotify player. Unluckily it was removed from Market. Get it (not tested).
• FlashLight
• Forecast info - It's so cute useful :)
• Last.fm - Last.fm player
• Meebo IM - One IM for all your accounts
• My Tracks - Tracks your routes
• Quick Save - Save bookmarks to Delicious / Read it later quickly
• Robo Defense (free version) - A tower defense game
• Share location - Send location information using any of the available methods your Android provides (mail, SMS, ...). Developed by me :)
• Shazam - A music expert in your pocket
• TasKiller - Because sometimes all you can do is to kill a malfunctioning app
• Tether Petition - We want tethering!
• TiltMazes - Another puzzle game
• Twidroid - Twitter client

Apps I don't use anymore

• Beelicious - A must for Delicious users Quick share was more convenient to my needs (i.e. tagging webs as "todo").
• Labyrinth (Lite) - iPhone has not the exclusive :) It was funny the first 10 times :P
• My Battery Status - Battery percentage in the bar Battery lasts long enough to not have to keep an eye to it constantly.
• Places Directory - Not perfect but still useful I haven't need it for a long time.
• Sheriff Android (Lite) - Put a burglar alarm into your mobile That was just to make some fun.
• Useful Switchers - That's it, shortcuts to usual options. Now with flashlight! Now I have GPS and Wi-Fi enabled all the day so I don't need it
• Watts - A good way to keep an eye to the battery Ironically it drained too much battery

Update (09/03/09): the list has changed enough to update it.

No acabo de entender porqué los de Muchachada no tienen feed en su web pero si como a mí te es imposible seguir una web sin feed aquí tienes el RSS de los últimos vídeos:

Feed de los últimos vídeos de Muchachada Nuí

Está sacado de la portada de la web (con el conversor de webs a feed RSS Feed43) así que puede dejar de funcionar si cambian el diseño. Esperemos que no sea muy a menudo.

Ala, a cascarla!

Since I've started using other more specific services to post content, like Twitter for quick thoughts or Tumblr for random clips (see the home page for more), this blog almost died :-s So I've decided to give it some life by sharing every month some of the songs I've added to my music library. Note not all songs were released this month, actually some are pretty old.

• Coldplay - Life In Technicolor ii
• Counting Crows - Einstein on the Beach
• Dean Martin - Ain't That A Kick In The Head

• Que no te confundan, tu felicidad no depende de tu aspecto físico.
• Es posible que por Internet hayas encontrado páginas pro-ana o pro-mia, o incluso alguna amiga te haya hablado de esto. Piensa que estas chicas están en el fondo incluso más confundidas que tu.
• Las chicas de la tele y las revistas no son reales. La mayoría de las personas lo sabemos pero tu que aún eres joven puedes equivocarte y pensar que esa es la imagen que se espera de ti.
• No estás sola. Tus padres, familiares, profesores, amigos y toda la sociedad en general queremos que seas feliz.

I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time... For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined my street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird... And Janie... And Janie... And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday.
