I used to think my laptop was fairly okay-ish. That was until I started reading the rigs that people have to play FS2020. I’m not into gaming so that explains my total lack of awareness of what is a decent gaming laptop these days 🙂 Anyway, as a fan of flying since the great Flight […]

A review of my JoMo week
I started my JoMo week on the 25th of June, and as I wrote on my initial post, I was planning to write on the blog my experience throughout the week. Well, no posts were made since then and now its the 20th of July. I guess that can say a lot about how it […]
A Guide on re-creating Hey’s features
Following up on my last post “Why I loved Hey but it isn’t for me” here’s a short guide on bringing some of Hey’s features back into my email service. I’ll be demo-ing this using Fastmail because it’s my main email, so you will need to adapt somethings to your own app/service. Make sure to […]
From FOMO to JOMO – an experimental week
I read Christina’s Crook book “The Joy of Missing Out: Finding Balance in a Wired World” some years back. Since then I did a couple of unplugged days/weekends. More recently I’ve been finding myself too stuck in the never ending loop of checking news(the good ones) and social media (even though I don’t use Facebook, […]
Loved Hey, but it’s not for me
Hey is full of refreshing ideas. I really enjoyed its launch especially because it got people talking about email again. I was really excited once my invite arrived and gave a good test to the web and mobile app. Hey brings to email what Ruby on Rails brought to webapp development: convention over configuration. See, […]
Always eat your own dog-food!
So a few days ago I decided to open registrations for my (still alpha/beta) service www.MyDaily.email in order to get feedback and better guide future features. This is a service inspired in Google Calendar’s 5am daily agenda, but instead of limiting it to send you a summary of events for the day/week, it lets you […]
Starting a new SaaS side-project
They say you need to launch at least 10 products to be able to find some success. So here I am again, after a couple of failed attempts, starting a new side-project (details to follow soon). Starting a side-project at this time in my life is a bit crazy. Besides working on a full-time project […]
Hacking my way through off-grid survival
Intro Last August, after a full year of plumbing, wiring, digging, painting – our family of four has finally moved to our offgrid wooden house. Off-grid was not the purpose, but given the location, it was not something we could avoid. I always had a personal desire for solar, so for me it was a […]
Switching to FastMail
I finally took the plunge and subscribed for a year of Fastmail’s email service. I’ve been looking for a new email provider for sometime. Trying more and more to slowly leave Google’s ecosystem towards something more open and less controlled by a huge corporation. So why Fastmail? Well, many reasons: its a small company, focused […]
