About slnc

Hi, I am a Spaniard living in Dublin and working at Google. Besides Ireland and Spain I have lived in Japan, the US and Switzerland.

I studied Computer Science and I definitely enjoy computers, specially machine learning and natural language processing. In the past I used to play videogames a lot, specially Unreal Tournament and Quake 3. As a result of that I built an online gaming community that has been alive since 2001. I practice Yoga and I have spent more years of my life with Yogic and Vedic ideas than with anything else. I have also played Dungeons and Dragons at several times in my life, primarily as a Dungeon Master, and I maintain a blog for the fantasy world that we played on. If it’s geeky or unconvential it’s very likely that I have, or I will, do it.

As of 2011 my main interests are creativity, drawing comics, algorithms and self improvement.

I use this blog to share my impressions on topics and ideas that I find useful, interesting or nice enough with the hope that they will be of some value to you. Constructive feedback of all kinds is always welcomed.
