Orsai few years ago, had just entered this world blogosphere, I came across this blog:
more respect I am your mother, the diary of a fat woman .
probably know him. It was a blognovela, the first I read and the funniest thing in the world.
From there I began to follow Hernán Casciari
, the Argentine writer based in Spain and its many adventures literary.
His blog,
Orsai , was also "is one that I read with more consistency. I love the narrative style in their daily reflections, all spiced with humor sentidazo.
addition to carrying multiple blogs, have been a scriptwriter for television and newspaper columnist, had this great idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a magazine:
Orsai .
The truth is that not just any magazine. Since its inception bet to power of the Internet and social networks to enable a product that does not need intermediaries to reach the reader. He succeeded. The first printing was more than 10,000 copies have been necessary without conventional advertising or support of a publishing house.
I ordered mine in December and a week ago was already at the door of my house.
I started reading it and I'm bringing me slowly. The taste has to last me a couple of months until it comes out the next number.
The beauty of this project is also the possibility of not having to buy it. Casciari leads by example to be in favor of freedom in the network and now have the option to download the magazine in PDF for free (thanks Sandy
for the link). I leave

also feel curious if read.
The idea is to show to publishers - and applies to labels and other companies - not free to publish has to be considered a problem for sale. It's all about having a little ingenuity when posting.
I still love books and printed journals and to those who still consider ourselves old-fashioned readers find in Orsai a plus: Inside the magazine is a separator. It is printed in a number to be registered to enter the draw for a mozzarella pizza restaurant of
Comequechu , local found in Spain. So if the winner does not live there, he was also paid travel expenses for her and a companion on March 16, when Casciari birthday (a fall of pearls I celebrate my birthday there).
Even without this incentive I would have bought the magazine. The issue is simple but beautiful, without publicity, made with excellent materials and excellent staff. I just finished article
Juan Villoro about his father. And there is an illustration of
Alberto Montt among other artists (I highly recommend their daily dose).
Well, this was my contribution to the world today. Hopefully they can have a look and a virtual flip the magazine.
I still here from my house and my plane leaves tomorrow morning so I strain your, but not before telling chismecillo way faster than today in our course, we visited Mr. Carlos Fernandez and Don Antonino Fernádez, head of the company where I work and rockstars.
I should clarify that this does not happen often. Mr. Fernandez does occur your returns by the agencies and factories but Don Antonio's something else. Is a man of over ninety years and remains the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the group, that is, the head honcho, but its position is honorary. He does not usually make these visits was very happy that my colleagues who acted as the girls in concert with the Jonas Brothers. I will not deny that I was impressed, but no pictures with the men. The truth that does not concern me (except one group) and that the engineering is not ugly, ugly thing (check the cover of December Expansion).
Now.
I say goodbye and sleep well.
