These are the Tenets of Taekwondo. They have been (and will always remain) the most important values to me in life since I was a child.

Cloudy time lapse experiment

Earlier today, I started experimenting with time lapses for the fist time. This was the result of the first session. 

Some details:
1075 shots (1 shot every 5 seconds)
Camera: Nikon D3000 (with AF-S DX VR-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lenses)
Frame rate: 25fps
Song: Calgary by Bon Iver 

Developing inner values is much like physical exercise. The more we train our abilities, the stronger they become. The difference is that, unlike the body, when it comes to training the mind, there is no limit to how far we can go.

“Two scouts can go into the mind of a young man and determine whether he’s really confident about what he can do. So he gets to sign him based on his ability, but then he’s gotta be successful to be confident. And once he becomes confident that’s when you got something. If you make a decision on what you see and things don’t pan out, you move on.” —Billy Beane (Moneyball)

JasperReports jQuery plugin

Well, I just found an experimental plugin I was working on a few weeks ago. It’s a jQuery plugin that aims to draw any JasperReports file in canvas, so that in can be previewed on a Web browser. It’s on a very early stage, but you can play around with it. Fork on Github!

jQuery Clock plugin

Hi there! Long time no see :)

Today I published a small jQuery plugin inspired in the QLOCKTWO. You can check out the demo over here or just get the code on Github.

I’m now thinking in building a real one with my Arduino and some RGB LEDs I have laying around! :)
