Hello! I am Joel, I am just a guy who likes tech, FOSS and many other things. I was born in Mexico, where I still live. I am a hobby collector, fake fan of many things, foss enthusiast, videogame enjoyer, and a mechatronics engineer, working as a system admin for some company somewhere.

A continuation to this post. I decided I would get a used bike from a local bike shop. I talked to one of the employees there and he offered me some interesting options. I felt a bit more sure of myself, I had watched a lot of bike...
This week was definitely characterized by a return to a lot of nostalgic things. No complaining, you will see what I mean as you read :P 🤱 It was Mother’s Day in México! I feel bad because I didn’t do breakfast for my mom. But the rest...
Metal Gear Solid is a very cool franchise, that is apparently a bit of a mess when it comes to its story and the connection between each game and all of that. I am not as attached on it as I am on Resident Evil. I did not spend countless...
For a couple weeks now, I had the itch to get into cycling again. Not as a sport or a hobby, but as a tool, to commute and go to places nearby. Around 10 years ago I used to have a pretty neat bike, it was a bit big for me but I could...
Obligatory May The 4th Be With You, by the way. Another week is over, I am still wearing my pajamas and enjoying a day off, which makes this Monday one of the best Mondays of the year thus far. Zero complaints! Here’s a question, when...
April is over, there were many birthdays and celebration parties from friends and family, there were also unexpected losses to mourn. My siblings visited for a while and we went out quite a lot. We returned to the moon and landed safely...
This is another rather personal post that doesn’t really bring any tips or solutions or whatever, just rambling about myself yet again. I often call myself an introvert, and due to yesterday’s post, I got some helpful feedback, advice...
This is a pretty personal post btw, not dark or anything but it may not be up your alley to have my ramblings and questions get to you or something. A few weeks ago my mom had a talk with me, when she discovered my videogame collection....
Did you know I kinda always forget what to write in the main, regular section of these weeknotes? The structure I usually type these things is something like: introduction, games, books or manga I reading, shows/movies/anime I watched,...

In all honesty, this is basically just another post to talk about games I haven’t finished yet but that have been very fun, so I just want to go on a quick ramble about how good they have been so far. Some are on hold but still worth...
Welcome, to my week notes! Can you believe that we are almost done with April already? There have been a lot of things going on lately, but hey, at the very least I keep reading on my XTEINK X4 and nudging other people to buy it too,...
Well, it’s been about a year since my last round of confessions as a FOSS enthusiast and I do have a few more things that I thought I’d share! This was in part tangentially inspired by a post by Adrian Perales on controversies around...
Welcome to another installment of “things that interested me today but aren’t enough to warrant a blogpost by themselves so I bundled them all together here”—I hope you find something that catches your eye! Again I don’t really plan to...
Ages ago at this point, I watched a YouTube video about short science fiction books! Back then I ended up reading and eventually reviewing The Undefeated by Una McCormack. That very same video is what first brought this novella to my...
