rambling thoughts since 1978.

  • Missing old friends

      I knew Calvin & Hobbes when they were printed in Portugal for the first time by the newspaper Público. My father bought it every day and I read religiously every strip until one day I grew out of it. My 20’s had that effect in me, I left behind some of the best things […]

  • Step Outside…

    Setting the mood for the upcoming week…

  • Late 2014 Resolution

    Learn to code decently in a specific language, once and for all.

  • The Meaning of Life

    Perhaps the oldest question in the history of civilization… it’s the also the one question with the most number of answers.

  • Keep Calm and Konami Code

    Try it… you’ll never know when it might work 😉

  • Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon – The Movie

  • Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon

    This is sooooo 80’s! Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is set to be released in May for PS3, X360 and PC as an whole game, as you don’t need the original Far Cry 3 to play it. The awesome sound track is by Powerglove and it’s an entire trip to the 80’s electronica. You can […]
