We heart you @anitamarcela.
Giving 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan B. Peterson a try. Was recommended by my uncle — with whom I usually have philosophical sparring matches. Hope I can keep an open mind.
Running SublimeText on ChromeOS sounds very interesting to me. And the cost of hardware to develop apps on Android is going to be a fraction than iOS with Chromebooks.
When you had a shitty day, the iOS keyboard sucks at journaling. I don’t mean ducking you piece of PG-13 muerda (for both Spanish and English).
Arrested Development can do no wrong, but the style of Season 4 required a bit of extra effort. The remix will be fun to watch.

Trying new SousVide burgers recipe: still main rule is to manage meat as little as possible.
I’m a sucker for launch events, and Opera holds a special place in my heart. Excited about tonight’s Opera’s R2 reveal.
Star Wars Resistance will be anime inspired, with WWII aircraft and fighter pilots influences. Can’t wait to watch this with Robie this fall.
Saw HBO´s Andre the Giant documentary. You could infer his smarts from his actions — same with his goodness. But the world have benefited from a journal to appreciate his philosophy more clearly.
Got a mini-barista to help me with my cold brew today — although he kept calling it cake.
No to sex on roundabouts, Norway tells high school graduates.
Said it before… I so miss Oslo sometimes.
This is a great summary post on Gitflow by Luka Kerr.
It’s that time of the week when macOS decides it’s not going to display any of my Subtile Text windows because I connected to an external monitor.
Fine-tuning microblog posting from the blog. Seems I alienated the one reader of the blog with the jumping around to micro.blog and back.
Giving up on Artemis by Andy Weir. After 100 pages I’m still not enjoying it. Feels a bit too sitcomy.

When you run your own site, reality is harsher. If people don’t truly care about what you have to say, or don’t truly care about you, they’re not going to stick around. You have to earn their attention. Which can be really, really hard.
The whole post is really worth a read. But this paragraph helped me crystalize why it’s easier to get gratification when publishing in places where it’s easy to get a like, clap, star or even a quick @reply.
It’s getting a pat in the back from people that don’t really care — or at least aren’t at all invested in what you shared.
I’m struggling deciding how and where to microblog. Which is kind of stupid since I’d already setup everything on blot last year. But micro.blog makes everything so simple and easy to post (specially photos), that it’s difficult to switch back.
Naming also has me confused. Having the microblog at roberto.mateu.me sounds logical, but I just enjoy the 5typos.net domain for some reason.
There’s two advantages micro.blog has over my regular blog: 1. Ease of posting 2. It’s a community
The ease of posting is relative but real. I can achieve everything the native client offers with different apps and workflows — but then again, micro.blog just does it with the app. And the cross posting is extremely well thought out.
The community part is more complicated. A blogpost is mostly lost in the void of RSS readers and occasional visitors to the site. But there’s no real equivalent of a community. Also, is it really the community? Or is it the sensation of being read a reply in micro.blog gives you? versus the absolute silence of the stand alone blog.
Anyways, posting on the blog has stopped because a leaving Miami draft I’ve had since January. Pushing that one out tomorrow one way or another.
My dad’s steak adobo recipe:
- Soy sauce - Worcester sauce - Mesquite - Salt - Pepper - Garlic flakes - Rosemary leaves
Leave on ziplock bag overnight on fridge. And tomorrow… sous vide time!
Two Roberto’s, one map. Hilarity ensues.
La Paz Waterfall Gardens: About 90 min from our house in Escazú. As with most Costa Rica touristy locations, tickets are expensive but it’s very well setup. Fun day trip with the kids, although I wouldn’t recommend eating there — not sure if it was because of a holiday, but the food was not good. Otherwise, recommended.
