Before I start, yes, we are fine! Actually, I would say we are better! We live in a huge concrete building located by Biscayne Bay, and we were under a mandatory evacuation order. Despite all of the advice and stories shared by friends and family, we decided to stick around and ride out the storm… Continue reading
Social Media and the era of fake content.
Social networks have unleashed a new way of communication, and a new way to read the news. That’s a fact. But they have also put on scene people who only want to take advantage of its power to leak fake content just to create controversy, or even worse, to make money out of advertising.

Making America great again?
I remember when Chavez won his first elections in Venezuela. Some people predicted his government was going to turn Venezuela into Cuba. I remember people laughing saying: — No way! that’s impossible. Venezuela will never be Cuba. It’s not the same. We are not an island. We have three branches of power. The constitution….

Learning Linux Shell with María and Manolo
María and Manolo are two characters I created on Snapchat during a trip my girlfriend —Ana— and I did around Europe. I’m use to call her María whenever she quickly gets out of patience.

This is #SundayOfMakingAFoolOfMyself. While spending some days in this beautiful place, for the nature’s misfortune, I found a guitar inside the house where we were staying. Poor forest animals had to stand my messy musical skills for hours!
Grita by Jarabe de Palo [performed by @tin_r]
Sometimes I have a song playing repeatedly inside my head. When the day ends, I just want to head home, grab the guitar and play my best that song that’s been echoing my head throughout the day. Today this was the case, and this is the result I recorded with my iPhone right before the… Continue reading
