CURRENT MISSION

solve an incredible riddle

ABOUT ME

I am a writer and technology developer from Brooklyn, New York. I build computers, web sites, and software and educate communities about technology and resistance. In my spare time I read anything I can get my hands on, with an emphasis on poetry and latin american fiction, and I write constantly. I am easy-going and happy to meet anyone, I'm also perfectly content to sit in a quiet room and read all day long.

Terrible at writing descriptions
Wonderful at talking.

PHILOSOPHY

Nada está perdido si se tiene el valor de proclamar que todo está perdido y hay que empezar de nuevo.
