How did this blog start?
For a long time I have been busy building tools and architecting applications in the web analytics space that have contributed to what people call today the Web 2.0. Somehow, though, I was too lazy to make the effort to be a part of this phenomenon, being blogging, social networking, etc. Well, this blog is my effort to engage the world and attempt to become a meaningful part of this movement. Enjoy!
Blog’s Spirit & Goal
Privileged are the ones who love doing what they do for a living. I am happy to say that I claim to be one of them (well on most days!) Technology is now connecting people in a way that even Jules Verne could not have ever imagined, and it is only the beginning. This blog aims to challenge thoughts about technology and other related matters and to provoke reaction and expression. I plan to document my journey as a developer and the projects I enjoy working on during my spare time, hoping others might find it stimulating or useful.
