Willy Rojas
I love the absurd cleverness of the Columbian photographer Willy Rojas. He is now based in Barcelona where you can buy signed copies of his photographs at Villa del Arte.

Geekcorps
Geekcorps is a US-based, non-profit organization that places international technical volunteers in developing nations. I joined their second group of geeks to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. See www.geekhalla.org/m2 or www.geekcorps.com for more information. View the result of my teaching sessions here: Interpress Design Documentation

Cooper Square Committee, New York
My home during my internship in NYC! This organisation begun in 1959 as a small group of residents organized to oppose the City's Urban Renewal Plan for the Cooper Square area in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. They are still fighting for affordable housing and aim to preserve the area's cultural, social and ethnic diversity. They made me feel like family.

Dolly Parton rocks
My dad used to play his two cassette tapes in the car for hours during family trips. In the past few weeks I rediscovered Dolly - excellent to play out loud and sing along. I hope my neighbors like her too.
