You've reached davidpuerto.com and have arrived at the single point of contact online for David Puerto. Moment of truth: I lack the self-control to have a Facebook and I come off a little self-absorbed. So I voluntarily left New Years Day, 2011 and I sort of enjoy it. With everyone plugged into the mundanity... I figured I'd do something constructive with my internet time.
I’ve received several emails from people in the Envato community who have been trying to execute Lightbox from Flash using Piecemaker 2 and reference it’s XML to populate the contents of the Lightbox. So here it is!!!
If you've ever told a kid: “Whatever you do make sure that it’s so big either the world comes to an end or you wind up on TV...” Please contact me below.

According to http://changingminds.org/explanations/brain/fight_flight.htm:
“When we perceive a significant threat to us, then our bodies get ready either for a fight to the death or a desperate flight from certain defeat by a clearly superior adversary. ”
This is an interesting experience when you are a front-end web developer working on an enterprise project that is suddenly feeling like a house of cards. (more…)

I just wanted to take a moment to quote my favorite mermaid as I’m sitting here blogging from my new iPhone 4S, using Siri to speak my madness into fruition. I remember when I unwrapped my first iMac 27″ and sat in awe before the sleek, white brilliance of accessories… “Designed in California.” Likewise with the iPad 2, and now, yet again with the iPhone 4S… Even the box it comes in is perfect. PERFECT. More to come!

Below is a copy of the letter I wrote to the heads of several of the departments at Dodge, Chrysler, Mopar, Fiat after I ran out of gas and had an unexpected experience on the telephone. I received a phone call within one week… Excellent customer service! I am currently playing phone tag with a higher up as it is the holiday.

So, someone begins telling a story. The person who is listening then begins to describe in fuller detail the particulars of the other person’s story in order to swindle the attention and prove they are as much, but probably more of an authority than the original speaker. In retaliation the original speaker then begins to wrestle the conversation back to themselves to further describe and assert their dominance in the conversation and that they are in fact the ultimate authority on the subject. This phenomenon is none other than description contention. Credit to Justice.

Emerging from my Nob Hill apartment with the yellow shag carpet, I hopped down the steps to notice something on another tenant’s door. I was seven and a half years old when I stood there in the breezeway mesmerized by the finely crafted letters that read “Kingz.” The prominent crown over the ‘K’ caused so much alarm that a neighbor actually questioned me if I had been the perpetrator who defaced their property. The hysteria was so alluring that later I was in my bedroom , Super Mario Bros. 3 on pause, scribbling the letters and symbols until I perfected their forms. As my drawing skills progressed I began recording television cartoons and drew those characters as well. This was an early example of how art and technology would preclude(not a typo) my future.
