Ubik(1stEd)
Ubik takes place in a hellish future with too many things-as-a-service, in which people with special mental abilities (inertial/anti psi) are fighting against other less nice people with different mental abilities (psi) who try to manipulate regular people.

Last September, looking for something new, I bought a copy of Popshot Quarterly. It is a nicely illustrated magazine with short stories, flash fictions (I still doesn’t quite grasp the difference with short stories) and poetry. Some quick words about The Haunting issue, Autumn 2022. At first I thought it […]

Following up on CoWorking.Coffee: pause, we have finally decided and acted on closing CoWorking.Coffee. We will not revive this platform. We will not try a new version or new business model. We hope it will live in the mind of people as an old school community place, as a way […]

This Is How You Lose the Time War from Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. I don’t remember how this book even landed in my to-read list. After asking a few friends who recommended it to me, I gave up. Nobody. One day this book just materialised itself in my wish […]

I have been working on a simple framework to put a website online for a friend. The premise are simple: No backend language available. No scripting. No database, here we go static site. Some idea of organization and structure, with separated pages. This means multiple page rendering, home/news/content1/about/contact. Common header […]

There are some countries that you don’t choose to visit. You can always enjoy and make the best of it by gazing at the facades looking for raw art, it will be happiness while waiting to depart. Some walls were more thought-provoking than others.
