I used to blog but now simply keep this public clipboard with stuff I save to review, analyze, remix and write about later. Mostly interested in culture, cities, urbanism, the future and our role as global citizens. I'm also the founder of tribal.mx, a technology consulting firm working at the intersection of remix culture, interactive experiences, open hardware and modern cloud-based architectures, currently building FabSpaces.cc.

British team make first ascent of Amazon peak | Guardian
Cerro Autana in western Venezuela is one of the most remote mountains in the Amazon, revered by local Indians as sacred. On a truly epic expedition, British adventurer Leo Houlding and his team of climbers spent eight days of boat rides and hacking through virgin jungle to get to its base, and a further six scaling the east face of the 1,400m peak.
I’ve had the pleasure of visiting the region and truly have nothing but respect for anyone who even dreamed about climbing these practically vertical “Tepui”.
