Summary

AIM
To grow intellectually and spiritually while working. To learn every single day so work allows me to get deeply involved in business, willing to share everything about web development and its current trends.
Personally, I think I'm quite obsessed with performance. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and challenging team mates to resolve uncommon problems. I've played with WebGL, I like making jQuery plugins (you can find some on my github), and I understand how to work with big companies, worldwide well known such as Tommy, Starbucks, Nike, Abbott, Walmart, Aramark, Dell or national companies such as Sancor or other small startups.
Specialties: I love using HTML5 markup (even giving support for the old-fashioned IE6) and I like taking care of accessibility and usability on my markup while always thinking on performance and best practices (of both JS and CSS). I also know back end programming (PHP, advanced use of WordPress) and I always consider SEO facts while coding front-end. I've had funny times playing with social APIs such as Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook... So?

Ya no sé cómo hablarle para que no le duela, quiero saber cómo está y me gustaría volver a abrazarla.

Love is love. Wanna be my owl?

a little cover I made today.

Sorry for the horrible vocals… it’s been a long week.

(And yes, this is what I do on saturday nights, thank you.)

seriously tumblr, stop uploading romantic pictures; some people have no one to hug, no one to love, no one to fuck;

Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money.

9 reasons you must install Sublime Text 2. Code like a man, man.

Hello, fellow code monkeys.

Look at your editor. Now back at mine. Now back at yours. Now back to mine. Sadly your editor is not like mine. But if you stopped using noob-scented editor, and switched to Sublime Text 2, your editor could look like mine.

Look down. Back up. Where are you?

You are on a desk with the editor your editor could look like. 

What’s in your hand? Back at me. I have it! It’s a package control with several handy plugins that you would love. Look again. The plugins are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your editor looks like Sublime Text 2 and not Eclipse.

I’m on a horse.

1972 NY subway diagram. Inspired the disco aesthetics, but newyorkers hated it because it wasn’t drawn at scale. HUGE UX FAIL!

In 1972, the renowned Italian designer Massimo Vignelli redesigned George Salomon’s New York Subway map, which persisted until 1979, when superseded by Michael Hertz’s design.

How famous companies got their names - Part 2

Y rara vez se es tal y como se quiere,
se llora lo que se llora
uno no elige de quien se enamora
ni elige qué cosas a uno lo hieren.
Y en lo más sutil de los cuerpos sutiles
lejos de la noria de causas y efectos
se tiene el corazón que se trae por defecto.
Jorge Drexler (via corazonespintabayo)

Good old Google instant search results

A veces asusta quererte tanto

No sabés lo que me pasa cada vez que te veo.

Lo que siento, lo que pienso, lo que te extraño.

Algún día mi boca se animará a dar un paso,

que tus oídos la provocaron a realizar.
