I've just imported a bunch of replacement batteries and touch screens for the iPhone 3G and 3GS. So if you have one of those models and your battery is no longer holding a charge, or your screen is cracked, I can replace it for you. Of course, I still offer all the usual Mac services. See my...

Just wanted to give a warning about Palermo Propiedades, in case you're thinking of renting or buying from them - don't! They're fairly new to the furnished, short-term rental market - which is fine, everyone's allowed to make mistakes, and I'm the first to forgive if apologies are given and...

For those of you looking for a job: The other day we were window shopping along Avenida Avellaneda, in the section between Nazca y Concordia - for those who don't know, this avenue is packed with wholesale and retail fashion clothing and apparel stores. Anyway, nearly every other shop had a...

We're looking to add a kitten to our family. Do any of you know: a) where to find one – shelters, vets, etc b) a veterinarian in Colegiales you could recommend for checkups, shots, etc c) any large pet shops that might sell cat supplies. We've noticed that BA is really a dog town – looking in...

I'm in the market for a decent used mountain bike (for somewhere around 400-500 pesos, in good shape, but that doesn't look good so that I can lock it up outside for a few hours). I've scoured the board, but only found references to new bike shops - some of which I've visited, all of which are...

I've heard of expats who provide guarantee services for those of us without one to be able to secure a long-term apartment lease (for a fee, of course) - but does the same thing exist for securing a cell phone contract? I'm sick of paying the outrageous pre-pago fees, but I can't get a contract...

Although it's more than half over, I still thought this was worth posting, as there are many events this weekend: The 15th annual Video Dance Festival in BA. These are films (some short, some long) of dance (typically contemporary / modern, although all forms are included) for camera. A lot...
