Chelsea: "Sometimes clients think they want the real you, but at the end of the day, they say they don't. They want what... they want what you want to be. They want you to be something else. They don't want you to be yourself."

I kinda liked it, mainly because I thought the role was perfect for Sasha Grey. There is something in the way she looks that might get her a successful career outside the porn industry.

My point, exactly.

"We are developing a robot helicopter integrated with a gripper, able to directly grasp and transport objects. The proof-of-concept system opens the door to future sophisticated aerial manipulation capabilities. This task is very challenging due to the need to precisely position the aircraft over the target object to grasp with a rigid gripper, the inherent instability of helicopters and the presence of aerodynamic disturbances." Pretty cool.

Avocado, tomatoes, salt, pepper, herbs and Parmesan. And a poached egg on top of everything. Must be done.

While studying marketing II, I came across this version of the BCG matrix and I thought it was kind of cute.

I never wear a watch but now I clearly need one.

'Vivek Wadhwa has an interesting post at TechCrunch, pointing out that much of the world beyond the US, Europe and BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) are effectively a patent free zone. Even if many of these places do have patent laws, very few companies find it worth the trouble to file for patents in those places -- and, technically, that means that anyone producing products in those areas can legally copy from the patents filed elsewhere.'

If only.

I went to both places within the last few weeks and, in my (totally humble) opinion, Ramon Freixa beats Sergi Arola hands down. And here are the reasons:

1. The place: RFM is beautiful, huge tables away from each other, really comfortable chairs, after lunch drinks are great; everything invites to enjoy the food and the conversation. SAG has way too many tables, too close together, the decoration is just meh, chairs are just ok. It was empty and we still got sat down in the middle of the room and it felt cold. They didn't offer us drinks after lunch.
2. The food: Both places are into the same type of cuisine. Both chefs are good, but RF has some brilliance that SG lacks, like the latter was more interested in execution than taste.
3. The bread: OMG, OMG, OMG. RFM has the best bread I have ever eaten.
4. The service: Both are good, but I had to ask for water twice in SAG. And we were pretty much alone.
5. The overall experience: The first time I went to RFM I said I wasn't very hungry; he took that into account and made me wonderful food, that I could finish and not die in the process. The second time I went, I was hungry and I could eat a lot and almost die in the process. When I went to SAG I had to eat one of their menus and by the time we got to the starters I wasn't even hungry anymore. I didn't feel like they were adapting the experience to me, but that I had to adapt to the experience.

Amazingly pretty.
