This is my eight “/now” update, and I’m absolutely in love with this concept. It reduces a lot my need for publishing stuff on social media. I’m doing this once a month. I think that’s a good pace.
Work
Spent the last few weeks researching and working on very niche alarm apps (Memo Rise, Bird Rise). The original idea turned out not to be so good, but it brought other opportunities to our attention. This is the first time that the more we work, the greater the excitement gets.
Air Fiesta is paused for now, but it might return in a different form, inspired by one of the alarms.
Smart Keys is doing well, with tight margins but still profitable.
We spent the entire month in San Francisco, hanging out with friends, watching SF Glow, Santa Skivvies Run, astonishing SF Gay Men’s Chorus, discovering delicious places to eat, such as Universal Panadaria (Pan con todo) and Oye Managua, and taking care of Kitt and April. Thanks, TrustedHouseSitters, for this Christmas treat.
Trying to read less news and use social media less. Reading more and more books.
Exercise
Not doing much. Winter is a good excuse. Feeling annoyed about that. ๐
I still feel that tingling in my fingers, itching to write more.
This is my seventh “/now” update, and I’m absolutely in love with this concept. It reduces a lot my need for publishing stuff on social media. I’m doing this once a month. I think that’s a good pace.
Work
I spent the last few weeks working on tiny games that run in the URL bar, strongly inspired by the book Game Poems. I can’t really call this work; I had so much fun.
I’m resurrecting the alarm research. I think there’s something there. More soon.
I paused for a bit Air Fiesta, I think it is a game that is still far from being engaging and fun. But I looooooooved working on it, working with maps sdks is so cool. Check posts related to that.
Still working a bit on Smart Keys, but the project is profitable and basically runs on auto-pilot.
Sustainable Walnut Creek: We had amazing events this year so far, Earth Month, Exploration Station at the Library, and Community Forums.
Learning
Not learning anything new outside of tech. ๐ I’ve paused my efforts to learn Korean for now. Hangul is so, so beautiful. And also quite hard. I already gave up on this goal for this year. But I feel I’ll return soon. Thank you, Ryan Estrada for these mnemonic drawings.

We’ve been taking care of our friends’ pets a lot. We spent the last 10 months looking after other people’s pets all over the Bay Area. I was missing so bad my dog in Brazil that we decided to pet sit around bay area using TrustedHouseSitters, this is so cool, we can meet amazing people, pets and also new cities.
Exercise
I’m not cycling anymore because I sold my bike :(, but I’m running and doing more indoor exercises guided by Pabllo Vittar. I set a goal for myself to exercise every day. Daily exercise is non-negotiable. It’s like brushing my teeth, maybe even more important. ‘NON-NEGOTIABLE, do you hear me, Dieguito?’
I still feel that tingling in my fingers, itching to write more.
This is my sixth “/now” update, and I’m absolutely in love with this concept. It reduces a lot my need for publishing stuff on social media.
Work
Spending most of my time building Air Fiesta, a new project that evolved from a Google Earth experiment where people flew together in a hot air balloon, listening to local stories, radios and voting on where to go next (Quite chaotic). Now, itโs a multiplayer game for people who love traveling, still featuring a hot air balloon on Google Earth, which is just beautiful. This is an attempt to return to my roots in game development. Check posts related to that.

We’ve been taking care of our friends’ pets a lot. We spent almost 3 months in SF taking care of some pets. I was missing so bad my dog in Brazil that we decided to pet sit around bay area using TrustedHouseSitters, this is so cool, we can meet amazing people, pets and also new cities.

The inspiration from other makers led me to create this website and be part of the “Building in Public” movement for the first time. Butterflies!!! เฝเฝฒเผเฝเพ๓ ฎสัษ
I’m still migrating all my content scattered across the web to this platform. I realized it’s really sad to see my work on platforms that will soon disappear or are owned by people I don’t resonate with.
This is my fourth “/now” update, and I’m absolutely in love with this concept. I can see this reducing a lot my need for publishing stuff on social media.
Big thanks to Rich Tabor for this WordPress template and inspiration.

Sustainable Walnut Creek: We recently held our Earth Month and Exploration Station events and are now starting new initiatives.
AIDS LifeCycle: I was a Roadie (Volunteer) in the final ALC event. After 30 years, they decided to end it. That inspired me to write a little more about it.

I paused my Learning Korean initiatives for now. Hangul is so, so beautiful. And also quite hard. I’ll return soon. Thank you, Ryan Estrada for these mnemonic drawings.

I’m missing so bad my dog in Brazil, so we decided to pet sit around bay area using TrustedHouseSitters, this is so cool, we can meet amazing people, pets and also new cities. I’ll be around SF on June and July.
Exercise
I’m doing more quick runnings than riding, quite sad to be honest, I’m missing riding with Peaceful Pedalers and as Training Ride Leader with Wildcats for ALC 2025. I signed up for the Pride Run in SF, it’s a good way to motivate myself to exercise more.
