Los tres años de secundaria tecnica cursé la clase de Informática, nunca me cambié —aunque de todas formas no podía—. El primer año fue mi clase favorita de todas, aunque lo único que hacíamos era hacer diseños en Paint y practicar el typeo en NotePad. A mitad de año mi interés por la clase se esfumó, todo a causa de que el compañero que me gustaba se fue de la clase. Y bueno, otros motivos ademas de ese, como el aislamiento social que dificultaba no mi rendimiento, pero sí mi estado de ánimo. Para tercer año que prestaba poco atención por estar hablando con amigos. En ese año, hubo un breve período de una semana donde nos enseñaron el CMD, clase que yo personalmente propuse y solicité al profesor; pero que cuando él dio las clases, yo no puse atención ningún solo día. Cosa de la que me arrepiento, en parte por no haberlo aprendido, y otra parte por sentir la decepción de mi profesor. Pero a pesar de todo, aprendí con entusiasmo todo lo que pudieron enseñar con una Lenovo Classmate. Y ahora que ingresé a la prepatoria, escogió mi capacitación en Informática de nuevo. Lo hice por genuina fidelidad a mis clases de Informática de secundaria y al profesor de la asignatura.

Audio blogging to help flow
On the theme of informal blogging, I thought I would try writing posts using audio. I use Day One, which is a personal journal app, and I actually use that daily and am on a streak of nearly 1,500 days posting to it in a row. It's an app that I have on my phone and has proven to be a really easy way to make notes every day for myself. So I guess it’s similar to the type of informal blogging I was talking about the other day with both Leaflet in 2026 and Radio Userland in 2003.

On User
User experience, as tool designers imagine themselves to become the user, asks how one might be assisted in expressing inner ideas with the external tool in hand. Experience excites the body to release dopamine, to stir the sensation of purposeful control with which the user can summon satisfying artefacts (satisfying in its aesthetics, expressiveness, and quality). Therefore the process, to some degree universal, can be well defined and then commercialised. Corporations would like to propagate the term, user.
“Close to Zero”
On May 29, 2024, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek tweeted something that sent shockwaves through the music community: “Today, with the cost of creating content being close to zero, people can share an incredible amount of content”. He later attempted to walk back the statement, calling his definition of “content” (yes, he called music “content”) “clumsy” and “very reductive”. But the damage was done, revealing just how disconnected the billionaire architect of modern music streaming is from the actual econ...
