I don't write

2013-05-18 by Al Garcia

For some time I've been curious about markdown and how it might streamline my writing workflow. I enjoy writing, and the fact that I can write kinda fast (almost as fast as I think of the words) makes it easier. The thing is that I'm not writing as much as I used to. I barely write on my Twitter account (actually I do but not as often as I did a couple of years ago) and my blog, well, it's so dusty… I think I posted about 5 entries three years ago and about 4 were videos or photos.

Again, I DO like writing, as a matter of fact I might have about 20 drafts waiting to be published (after proofreading them) and I even like the new template I have on my blog, the one I'm always tweaking and working on. But for the most part Wordpress is the one to blame. Don't get me wrong. I think Wordpress is a really nice blogging and CMS option, I recommend it for my clients and use it quite often, but it has SO many options that I don't really care of. Read more…

My favorite speaker so far

2012-03-20 by Al Garcia

BOSE SoundLink® Wireless Mobile speaker

I’ve always wanted an easy alternative to listen to music and internet radio. I really dig internet radio. But I also love internet music services, such as Grooveshark and Spotify. Wanting portability, good sound quality and connectivity, I set my eyes on Logitech and Grace Digital. I was almost certain that the Logitech Squeezebox Boom was what I needed. It looks nice, simple and even kinda retro, but the pricetag was way above what I was willing to afford and the device is currently discontinued, so the only options were to get it aftermarket. The second most logical option was also from Logitech, the Squeezbox Radio. Way cheaper, portable and able to log into Spotify network. Charming. But never made up my mind after months (or even years), so I never bought it.Read more…

Snowy Road

Cerca de mi casa hay una calle que tenía algo en el piso que asumo que serían bolitas de anime. De regreso de comprar unas cosas grabé ese pedazo de la calle, parecía que hubiera nevado.

primer sábado del año

2012-01-07 by Al Garcia

me despierto después de las 12 del mediodía, viendo que mis planes para la mañana simplemente no van porque el tiempo ya pasó. hago típica rutina de revisar email, twitter, facebook y noticias a ver si el mundo se esta acabando o si sigue siendo la misma mierda.

bajo a la cocina y me sirvo un vaso de leche para “desayunar”, me lo tomo mientras voy abriendo nueces para desayunar. ahi es cuando me entero que mi mama casi tiene listo el almuerzo: pasta cuatro quesos y carpaccio de lomito.Read more…
