Running in the rain

It’s raining—heavily this time, as it usually does with rain in Athens nowadays. After many autumn and winter days with no rain at all, this feels unusual (or usual, depending on whether you look forward or backward). And it’s cold outside, so I don’t know how I managed to get out and start running, even though I could easily have avoided it.

An exercise mat

An exercise mat could transform into a magic carpet that flies or protects you from the lava beneath. It should help you avoid the balls or balloons chasing you viciously, trying to erase you. As Pac-Man eats the dots, it doesn't just remove some pixels but sends them to non-existence. The sickle will protect us as we fight zombies, whether they live in water or not. Don’t hesitate when you see the enemy; either run or fight. This sword has superpowers and transports you to a new dimension, and the blanket on the table will be our shelter for now.

To blog or not to blog?

For the past 15 years, I've always tried or thought about running a blog, but I always failed. Initially, this domain shared my thoughts on open-source and technology topics that I found interesting. Later, after I began freelancing as a web developer, it served more as a showcase of my projects. In either case, the motivation for writing and maintaining a blog wasn't enough to keep it going—until now. At least, that's what I hope, and this is my intention.
