Why now?<\/h2>\n

I’m not the talkative type, so I have to spill out my ideas, thoughts, and opinions in some other way – writing. And trust me, I think way too much, a pensieve<\/a> would come in handy. Writing forces me to structure my ideas and also works as an unburden activity. It’s also way to procrastinate the writing of my fantasy novel<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The idea to resume blogging came on September, right when Adam Pash from Lifehacker<\/a> had the same idea. (That’s another thing, blogging is a great way to network.) I wanted to start my blog on 11\/12\/2013, since it was a funny date and my website was originally created on 07\/08\/2009. Sadly, I couldn’t have a blog at that time<\/a>. But now I can ;)<\/p>\n

When is the next post?<\/h2>\n

One post per week, every Monday.<\/strong> That way you have a reason not to hate Mondays<\/a>. Although I’m Portuguese I’ll post in English. That way I reach a broader audience and I practice my English. Only very specific topics will in Portuguese.<\/p>\n

About what?<\/h2>\n

I will mainly talk about technology, photography, books, and life<\/strong> (and sometimes games). These are my hobbies, my passions. This blog will let you know more about me. Why would I care?<\/em>, you may ask. Maybe my dilemmas are yours too, and maybe you’ll stumble over the same problems I did. I’ll share my experiences so you can avoid my mistakes and leverage on my successes.<\/p>\n

Thanks, how can I help you back?<\/h2>\n

I simply ask you to read and share my posts. In fact, you’re already helping<\/strong>: I partnered with a Portuguese startup<\/a> and while you’re reading this you’re donating a tiny amount of your computer’s idle processing power to scientists worldwide. I help you, you help the world<\/a>, and CrowdProcess<\/a> helps me. It’s a win-win-win!<\/del><\/p>\n
