It's a start

Here I am, blogging at last, to an audience of one. I do not really plan to give away this blog's address to anyone I know, and at this point, I am wondering if it will actually be well distinct from my email address, so that readers would not be able to actually figure out who I am.

Basic introduction, just to get this out of the way. What are the things that make me the person I am? What are the things that will differentiate this blog from the millions of others on the net?

I'd like to say it's my charming personality, but that would be a lie.

Let's try first to pick a few appropriate ideas:
- expatriate. I have lived in almost a dozen countries, and visited probably another dozen or so. I speak two languages perfectly, a third one quite well, and have some basic knowledge in three more (that's if you count being able to say my address or ask for the bill in Cantonese)

- science and technology. I studied math, building engineering, applied math and algorithmics, in that order. Yes, thanks, I know it doesn't really make sense. I enjoy mind-teasers, math problems, and computer stuff. I'm an internet addict, and a computer addict.

- salsa. I discovered salsa in Asia 6 years ago. I know it's odd, considering I grew up in South America, but it's true. Salsa was an epiphany, and instant addiction. I was teaching within a year, djing within another year. I have always considered it a hobby, now a paying hobby, never a job.

That's enough for a short introduction, and to give an idea about the topics this blog will probably cover. You can expect:
- IT stuff on Windows (gripes) Linux (mixed feelings) and Mac (love it)
- Info on salsa (dancing, teaching, djing, music, communities, politics)
- Anecdotes on living abroad (I'm a born expatriate, so wherever I am, I am abroad)
- Some math stuff, if I feel like expounding on whatever is keeping my mind busy.

Dear lone reader, I hope that you and I will meet here often.
