This is literally the first “Hello World” post I’ve written in my life. And it comes to life to start this blogging effort that will let me capture what it is that is happening in this very important phase of my life (and hopefully capture many readers in the process also).

In spite of the fact that my mother tongue is Spanish and I’m a Mexican citizen (quite proudly), I’ll mostly blog in English for three reasons: First, I live in the US right now and the people that are likely to read me don’t necessarily speak Spanish. Second, the Spanish-speakers that are most likely to end up reading this stuff are likely fluent in English and it’ll do them good to read more English. Finally, I need to get up to speed with my written English because the grades of my second year as an MBA will greatly depend on final papers and long deliverables.

Eso no quita que de vez en cuando postee algo en español que tenga interés específico para hispano-parlantes o mexicanos (al grito de guerra). Especialmente sobre asuntos de la “blogosfera” o de la política latinoamericana.

You’ll notice that the headings in this site are in English, Spanish and German. This is to stress the fact that I speak all three languages and that I grew up learning from all three cultures and idiosyncrasies. I’m a proud tri-cultural being that everyday embraces all three languages, weltanschauungs and cultures. It is less likely, however, that I’ll blog in German…sometimes I’ll link to stories in German or throw in a quote like this one:

Man muß einfach reden, aber kompliziert denken – nicht umgekehrt -Franz Josef Strauß

I hope that you will find something of interest in this set of words and online situations. 

Yours in blogging innovation,
