It’s a Kirsch!

My little older brother Jacobo and his wife Joana had a healthy baby boy this morning. Why does he look so pissed off? Is it because he hasn’t met his favorite uncle yet? No. He still doesn’t know what he’s been missing all his life. The reason he’s so angry is that people have been calling [...]

Safari 4 just came out of beta. I gave it a try at my work computer (a Windows XP machine) just to go back to Chrome shortly after. Now I’m back with Safari. The main reason? Text rendering. See, in Safari you can configure the browser to render its text like Mac OS X does. [...]

Should the “Learn English with Andy” series be stopped?

But so far, only a few hours after the initial post, a flood of (two) comments, which were very ironically written in Spanish, seem to suggest that The MKX® is not the best channel for educational material and should instead [...]

What to do about the missing oats?

Replace the big thing, pretend it never happened.

Stop eating oatmeal, get some human [...]

El Mauricio II
