Presidential Awards
Jackson at the White House South Portico with President Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan, 1984

In 1984, Jackson was approached to donate “Beat It” as backing music for a commercial on drink driving.[27] Jackson agreed and it was arranged for the singer to be awarded with an honour from the then President of the United States, Ronald Reagan.[27] Prior to collecting the award, President Reagan sent Jackson a telegram, which read:[8]
“ Your deep faith in God and adherence to traditional values are an inspiration to all of us. You’ve gained quite a number of fans along the road since “I Want You Back” and Nancy and I are among them. Keep up the good work, Michael. We’re very happy for you. ”

The presentation took place on May 14, 1984, at the White House.[27] Upon reaching the podium, Reagan remarked, “I hope you’ll forgive me, but we have quite a few young folks in the White House who all wanted me to give you the same message. They said to tell Michael, “Please give some TLC to the PYTs.”[28] A reference to Jackson’s Grammy Award-nominated song, “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)”. Reagan also stated that Jackson “is proof of what a person can accomplish through a lifestyle free of alcohol or drug abuse. People young and old respect that. And if Americans follow his example, then we can face up to the problem of drinking and driving, and we can, in Michael’s words, beat it.”[27][28]

In April 1990, Jackson returned to the White House to meet President George H. W. Bush, and whilst there President Bush recognised him as the “Artist of the Decade”.[29] On May 1, 1992, President Bush presented Jackson with an award acknowledging him as “a point of light ambassador”.[29][30] Jackson received the award in recognition for his efforts in inviting disadvantaged children to his Neverland Ranch.[30] Jackson was the only entertainer to receive the award.[30]

Tras casi perder el cliente de correo con todos los emails organizados, etiquetados, marcados y el cliente optimizado, la idea de tener multiples buzones en una sola página en gmail, desde que se anunció me rondaba la cabeza y disfrutar de algunos gadgets extra ofrecidos a través de gmail labs sería la caña, pero la pestañita de ‘gmail labs’ no aparece en el apartado de configuración!!

Googleando, me entero de que la pestaña de ‘gmail labs’ sólo aparece si el idioma elegido es English (US).

Cambiando el idioma a English (US), si seguidamente pinchamos en configuracion, ahora mismo será ‘Settings’, veremos como nos aparece la pestaña de ‘gmail labs’. Una vez dentro veremos un montón de nuevos gadgets y la opcion de multiples inbox (multiples buzones) para gmail.

Hay gadgets muy curiosos, un sistema de estrellas, la posibilidad de tener el calendario, los documentos de google docs, etc… Pero sobre todo tener multiples buzones en gmail, en una sola ventana es una gozada. Podemos mostrar nuestras etiquetas y tener el inbox y 3 etiquetas en una sola pantalla.

Tras recuperar el cliente de correo, volví a cambiar el idioma de gmail a Español y esperaba que todos los gadgets desaparecieran, pero no sucede asi, unicamente la configración no podremos cambiarla, pero una vez echa en English, podemos volver a nuestro idioma y seguir disfrutando de los gadgets de gmail labs.

A disfrutar!

En teoría, no es bueno encender un aparato eléctrico nuevo sin leer antes el manual de uso y sobre todo las advertencias de seguridad. Pero no siempre es así, como en el caso de este microondas.

Esperemos que los que compren este microondas, no sigan las instrucciones de su pegatina :)

Sí, como suena, increible! Pero esto es mejor que increible, además es una extension para Firefox :)

Se llama Firenes y te permite jugar online a los juegos de NES sin tener que descargar las ROMS. Funciona a traves de VNES y es un plugin que te abre una barra lateral con la lista de roms, y que al pinchar sobre cualquier rom de nes te saltara una ventana en java cargandote la rom de NES que desees jugar.

Para descargarlo sólo teneis que descargar la extensión:

A jugar!!

Esta pregunta tan larga pero tan explicativa, ha sido un quebradero de cabeza personal que me ha ahorrado muchas horas de trabajo, y que me gustaría compartir con vosotros.

Sé que para alguién que trabaje con Excel habitualmente, tal vez este post sea ridículo, algo como ¿Cómo sumar dos numeros con la calculadora de Google?, pero supongo que habrá gente a la que esté post les sea útil por tener que manejar Excel solo en algunas ocasiones, y no sean conocedores de lo que esta herramienta nos ofrece.

El “truco” -por llamarlo así- en cuestión es el pegado especial en Excel. Una utilidad que había visto mil veces, pero por la que nunca había perdido ni unos miseros segundos. Bueno….pues el pegado especial, es la caña!! Te dá una serie de opciones adicionales a simplemente pegar, como realizar operaciones aritméticas, aplicar fórmulas, dar formatos, etc.

Pues bien, si queremos hacer por ejemplo un incremento del 17 % en una tabla como la que vemos a continuación

pondremos el valor por el que queremos multiplicar la tabla en otra celda, (para subir un 17% pondremos 1.17 como valor a multiplicar)

Despues copiaremos ese valor pulsando CONTROL + C, con boton derecho-copiar, o con el menu copiar de la barra de tareas,

entonces seleccionamos la tabla entera (las celdas sobre las que queremos realizar la acción) y pulsamos boton derecho - Pegado Especial

Ahí nos aparecen una serie de opciones a elegir, en nuestro caso, elegimos multiplicar

y tendremos toda nuestra tabla incrementada un 17% al hacer una multiplicación del valor de cada celda por 1,17

Espero que en algún momento, os sea de la misma ayuda que me ha sido a mí.

Navegando por la red, a los mandos del timón con gorra y pipa, topamos con una máquina arcade del año 1972, actualmente es subasta en ebay por más de 10.000 doláres, el precio es una sobrada, pero como curiosidad la máquina no tiene desperdicio. Yo personalmente hasta me gastaria alguna moneda en jugar, aunque estoy por otro lado convencido de que a los 10 minutos acabaría aburrido, pero es curisoso/gracioso conocer el estado del arte de aquellos maravillosos años en los que se decía que para que más colores en un monitor o para qué mas velocidad de proceso, toma!
