There seems to be a lot of fuzz today about a red iPod that will apparently be released tomorrow. I went today to the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue in New York and can confirm that the Apple has turned red. Just take a look at the following pictures:

I recently returned from a holiday in Canada. This was my first time there, and I really enjoyed the trip. I visited Montréal, Québec and Ottawa (and technically Gatineau). I spent most of the time in Montréal. As it has become customary in my blog I have created a photo page for each city:

• Montréal
  • Notre-Dame Basilica
  • Place Montréal Trust (part of the underground city)
  • Biodóme
  • Parc du Rapids
  • Vieux-Port
  • Casino
  • McGill University
  • L’Oratoire Saint Joseph du Mont Royal
  • La Grande Bibliothéque
  • Vieux-Montréal
• Québec
  • Vieux-Québec
  • Le Château Frontenac
  • Quartier Petit Champlain
  • Parc de la Chute-Montmorency
  • ÃŽle d’Orleans
• Ottawa
  • Parliament Hill
  • Canadian Museum of Civilization
  • Gatineau Park
  • Canada Science and Technology Museum
  • Rideau Hall
  • Byward Market

Second trip this month. This time to Miami to attend the SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) Jumpstart Bootcamp at the Colonnade Hotel. The course wasn’t exactly what I expected, but I couldn’t turn down 5 days at Miami. As usual, instead of taking pictures of things that have been photographed over and over again I try to take some unconventional shots. Judge for yourself:

Photos!

One of my coworkers bought a MacBook while we where there, on the day in which they were announced. You’ll find some unpackaging photos. It’s a really nice laptop, but I still prefer my PowerMac G5 2.0 Dual.

I just got back from Culiacán, Sinaloa, where I taught a Rational Application Developer workshop. It took place at the Universidad de Occidente (UDO). My students wanted to see some of the pictures that I took, so here they are:

Pictures from Culiacán

Please leave your comments and let me know if you’re interested in higher resolution pictures.

I decided to upload a few more pictures from recent trips:

• Chicago during Summer 2005
• Dallas, January 2006

I hope you like them! Contact me if you’d like a higher resolution version of any photo.

Last January, I was in Las Vegas to attend IBM’s Software University 2006. I just posted some pictures from the event. You can find them at my .mac site, since it’s easier to publish pictures using iPhoto and iWeb than posting them in this blog. Click the following link to check them out: SWU 2006 Pictures.
