Están pintando una casa.
Le preguntan a los interesados,
vecinos y habitantes:
“¿cómo y de qué color
creen ustedes que la debería pintar?”
De muchos, sólo unos cuantos,
contados, responden.
En este caso
lo imaginan
más bien
nadie.
Pasa el tiempo.
Después de mucho esfuerzo
en solitario
terminan de pintar la casa.
Brilla bajo el sol.
Quienes les privaron de respuesta,
se paran enfrente,
tan campantes
mano en la cintura
y con toda autoridad les dicen:
“oye, mano,
como que
hubiera estado
mejor el color azul ¿no?”.
“oye, amigo,
te faltó un poquito
en esta esquina.”

My passion is creating opportunities for discovery, creativity and innovation. I am an advocate for enhanced access to information as a public good. I enjoy fostering engagement and openness, facilitating collaboration and mentoring.
My main focus is multi-disciplinary and involves practically and theoretically connecting the dots between varied, closely-related fields and topics: comics studies; human-computer interaction design, library and information science, digital humanities, scholarly communications, publishing studies, digital innovation and material culture, intellectual rights and open science, access, data and educational resources.
I love writing and spreading the word about the things I believe in. I love higher education and the Internet and I define myself as a digital scholarship advocate. I love working collaboratively and on my own. You can still follow me and/or contact me via Twitter @ernestopriego.
