This video is a must see. Author/activist Isabel Allende (The House of Spirits) gives a strong heartfelt and at times comic account of her being chosen to be an Olympic flag bearer and discusses tales of strong women, the definition of feminism and her proposal to balance the present global situation.

Ona a lighter side, Penelope Cruz wins the 2009 Oscar for best supporting actress for Woody Allen’s movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.” I thought Penelope’s speech was a very heartfelt moment: “…I grew up in a place called Alcobendas, where this was not a very realistic dream, and I, always the night of the Academy Awards, I’d stay up to watch the show. And I always felt that this was, this ceremony was a moment of unity for the world. Because art, in any form, is, and has been and will always be our universal language and we should do everything we can to protect it’s survival, so I thank you so much…”
She then makes a short speech in Spanish, here’s the translation in English: “To all of you who are are watching in Spain, who feel they are sharing this moment along with me, and to all the actors in my country. Thank you very much.” Bravo Penelope!!!

My favorite way to get the news is from freelance reporter Marta Costello of the gnooze (the g is silent). She is the perfect antidote for the lousy doings of today’s evil doers. In this video clip she talks about interests rates being cut all over the world, Korea firing off test missiles and another AIG bailout. Enjoy the show!

With an imminent recession expected in the U.S., big name Japanese banks are making their moves. One bank is buying up some of Lehman Brother’s operations outside the U.S. They gained experience from having to recover from their own financial crisis back in the 90s, and are now ready to step in with cash in hand.

My good friend Jorge Arriola a graphic designer and web marketing specialist now working in Spain posted this 300 Mexican parody to start off this blog…
I am extremely grateful to him for instaling WordPress and his help in converting the old Visioneros.com site into a blog style website, I’m loving this! Being able to post something and just push the “publish” button (without having to open Adobe GoLive or Dreamweaver and upload files to the server) makes publishing an almost transparent process.
