Elasticity, putting web development and business together

I’m in a train going through fields and fields in the middle of nowhere (some people call it La Mancha) returning to Valencia from a quick trip to Madrid and I’d like to take this opportunity in order to update the blog, because even it’s a bit shaming the number of drafts has exceeded the number of published posts and I have to do something about that now.

Furthermore in the last days some people have warned me that I should not give up posting and write more frequently. It’s a bit difficult because right now I’m so immersed in my Industrial Engineering exams and all the work I do as a freelance web designer that I simply can’t spend my time writing. Anyway, once I read “there’s always time for the things you really like”, so I think I don’t really have an excuse.

Talking about university, one of the subjects I had this year was Industrial Economy; I have become more and more interested in this field for some time now. This interest mostly comes in terms of my field – if I really have a field where I grow and develop – from the preoccupation of not only provide users with tools so they can kick ass, but also make it in the most efficient way; i.e. do great shit.

Anyway, it usually doesn’t work like that. And this conflict is what Economy is all about.
