Ya es diciembre
Esta vez no fue diferente, esperé hasta el último día para preparar mi maleta. Aunque en realidad no me toma mucho tiempo, me gustaría poder hacerlo con más antelación, digamos, un día o dos antes del viaje. En los últimos años, hemos viajado mucho; ahora que vivimos en Seattle, ir a Vancouver, Canadá, es muy…

Internet outdoors
I’m a big advocate for stepping outside, feeling the grass under your feet, and engaging in some good old face-to-face chats with fellow humans. Heck, I’m even toying with the idea of traveling without my phone—relying on trusty paper maps for navigation and dropping into local libraries to keep in touch with the fam. Crazy,…

Are your choices truly your own?
Do you subscribe to the idea of determinism or free will? These are two intricate philosophical concepts that stand in contrast to one another. I pose this question because these notions have recently taken up residence in my mind. After listening to the discourse surrounding these theories in two distinct podcasts (one in Spanish and…

Embrace the Summer
Summer is almost upon us, and in my mind, it doesn’t just herald the beginning of a season, but a new year – odd as it may sound.

I can vividly recall my first Microsoft conference – an experience I had to pay for myself…

Understanding AI and Embracing Its Potential.
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a thrilling and mysterious subject, much like a captivating science fiction book you can’t put down. However, beyond fiction, AI is a reality, and its history is just as fascinating. Can you imagine a machine that learns, thinks, and adapts? Sounds incredible, right? Well, that’s precisely what AI aims to…

Are You in an Abusive Relationship with Your Phone
I watched the movie Alice, Darling, which made me think of abusive relationships. I will not describe the film here, but you should watch it, it’s good. One of the thoughts that came to mind after the movie is how aside from people, other things are abusive to relationships. For example, bad habits, social media,…

Allowing yourself to try something new
For years, my favorite drink of choice in the mornings and the evenings has been coffee. But occasionally, enjoy a hot cup of tea, specifically chamomile tea. That is the only tea that I would drink. A few days ago, as I was about to start organizing some of my photos after dinner, I decided…

My bookstore addiction
Do you like bookstores? I do, and apparently, many other people do too. Why? A bookstore is a place full of wonder and imagination. Each book can be a window into a different world, a unique story, perspective, or something new to learn. Walking around bookstores feeds my motivation to continue reading, learning, discovering, and…
