Still, the fact that this is public opens up the possibility that maybe someone, someday, somewhere in the world, will read these lines. And thats what makes the game magical. The same thing happens with my songs. I... Read More

Just in time for #Marchintosh, I finally wrote a detailed post about my current System 7 setup running on an old iPad Mini 4.

I’ve been daily driving it for a while now, and I explain why this has become my “perfect” classic Mac environment.

They say the finger pointing at the moon is not the moon… Everyone taking photos of the full moon only to discover that the photograph doesn’t look as beautiful as the real thing. Take your picture, but don’t forget to enjoy what’s real… Wells, anyway, here is mine:

Back to biking… Picked up my foldable bike from storage today. It’s probably been sitting there for the last five years. A little air in the tires, a bit of WD-40, and it was ready to ride. How could I have forgotten the beautiful feeling of the air on my face? Note to self: don’t put beautiful feelings... Read More

The infinite loop Finished writing the draft of my new book. Now comes the editing part… or the infinite part. Editing is making the text better. And any text could always be better.

I’ll tell you a secret For many years it was hard for me to accept the role of art in my life. It was hard to believe that I, too, am an artist. That had a huge impact on my projects: the lack of confidence, the low self-esteem, and the place I gave them in my life’s schedule. As I... Read More

I don’t Vacation is coming to an end. Today I told my daughter: I don’t want the holidays to be over. I don’t want you to grow up. I wish we could stay here, just the two of us, forever.

Hello, Bluesky Today I’ve been putting some love to my Bluesky Account. After more than 10 years on Twitter (and +1400 followers), it stopped making sense to me to publish in a platform that doesn’t want to show my content to my own followers and also is full of politics/shitty/slop content. So here am I, starting from... Read More
