Welcome to my little cave inside the internet. Here I write about the things I care about, mostly books and videogames.

I am a 30 something Latin American with a passion for writting and reading stories and essays. I've done a lot of stuff, mainly regarding teachings and technology that are now erased along with my digital footprint. Let's hope this will be my final lair.

Why the Den?

Even tho this is mostly a place to dump what I write into it is also a place of resistance.

Corny as it may be, static places with a focus on written word are scarce and sparse. Neocities is a light that shines in an Internet that is mostly 5 pages showing the same 30 seconds to 3 minutes vertical videos. Cookies tracking every user involvement and paywalls behind every copy pasted article or news. Bloats of javascript code to keep things dynamic and of course, on top of all that, ads.

This page is a slower space trying to keep optimism in the newer internet. I've never been that much involved with the web 1.0. I admire it, but it's not my thing. Thats why the page looks mostly like a blog, a blog that can be read on most devices but that doesn't use JS because honestly, it's doesn't need it, it's just text.

Finally, writing and reading had always been my passion, from novels and essays to everyday monthly magazines, The Den... My Den stands against the need for everything to be a multimedia project. Or in a more honest take, the den stands against the voice that tells me that the written medium is dying unless you have a social media space like substack or a video essay with your writing.

It's as much a resistance medium as it is a self help space I guess.

I hope you enjoy reading my ramblings as much as I enjoyed writing them.
