The Suits

Mark Cuban’s take on suits is the best post I’ve read in weeks.

Wearing a suit in Portugal is almost a religion, workers wear them every day, even if their jobs don’t imply contacting with clients in person. People believe that a suit really gives them status, make them look better and more confident, but really, where’s your confidence when you get home and sleep on the ground (like Mark did, and I bet lots of Portuguese workers do the same)?

A suit gives you confidence when you need it, makes you part of the “tribe” when you’re among peers, but in the end it it’s just a “mask”, a gimmick to be accepted. Suits should be used in celebrations, events, and not as working uniforms. Go casual, go real, break the distance between you and the others by letting the suit go.

Microformats in Firefox 3

Read/WriteWeb has a very nice article on how microformats could be used in the future with Firefox 3.

Personally, I think the microformats technology will definitely suffer big changes in the future and will changes the way we use the Internet, TV or even you cellphone. Microformats can provide the user with a simple, standard way to unify information.

Update: Here’s a cool aplication of microformats – Operator – an extension for Firefox that automatically detects microformat data and purposes the user the best way to use the information.
