I wasn’t sure how long my holiday blogging hiatus would be, but it seems like a good time to get back to it. Hope everyone had a great holiday season, although here in Puerto Rico we’ve just started. Tomorrow is Three Kings Day, which for many people here is bigger than Christmas and New Years. …
Starting a Writing Challenge
I’m currently in my office at the co-working space in San Juan with the ambiance of a storage unit, and coming down from the high of finishing (I think) fixing the last micro-bug in my latest algorithm code. I worked over the weekend to fix errors, and there were so many more than I could …
