I’m 34 and it’s time for the yearly look back. It was a year of starting and ending relationships. I’ve had some great moments of happiness along with big disappointments. Right now I’m happy and hoping to stay that way. It was a year of travelling. I visited Paris and Berlin (same trip), Athens, Slovenia [...]
Sometimes you have to experience something to really learn a lesson. I heard before about the Hershey’s Kiss experiment and the vast difference between dirt cheap and free, but I had to see it with my own eyes. Before Dindy was free it cost 0.80 USD and I had around one download per day for [...]
The December release. Wonderful. (This post contains an embedded player. If you’re using an RSS reader you might not be able to see it)
This is an old school web 1.0 idea I had over the weekend. It’s very simple: let’s say you want to leave a message for someone, anonymously or not. You go into the website, put in the person’s email address and the message. The person doesn’t receive any notification about this, and can only see [...]
I’ve been a fan of The Mars Volta for quite some time now. While waiting for their upcoming (6th studio) album, I listen to one of Omar Rodriguez Lopez (The Mars Volta’s dictator) albums. Rodriguez Lopez has been releasing many (free to listen) albums lately, that are very different in style and sound. The latest [...]

Dindy’s rating in [...]
I’ve decided to leave IBM. After 2 years in Diligent Technologies and over 2.5 years as an IBMer following Diligent’s acquisition, and considering I wasn’t pursuing an IBM career that will last many years to come, it was definitely time for me to go. I’ll be an IBMer until January 31st, 2011. In Diligent-IBM I [...]
Here are the pictures and videos from my trip to Tucson, AZ and NYC, NY:
I’ve been in NYC for a couple of days now but didn’t have time to update. I’m basically hanging out with two good friends. Before I left Tucson, a colleague of ours took me and my boss bicycle riding in the desert among the cacti, which I really enjoyed. I also fell off my bicycle [...]
I arrived to Tucson, Arizona today after over 16 hours of flight (with an additional few hours of waiting, trains, trams and taxis.) My hotel “room” is bigger than my apartment. I went straight to the nearby Target store to get my usual cereal and yogurt. Then, at around 4pm and after eating, I was [...]
