Why This Site ???
This is about writing without trying to write pro content.
I am a father, a basketball coach, and another (not so common) guy that after getting a college engineering degree in IT was converted to the dark side of Management, Business Development and Product Marketing a long time ago. I spend time managing projects in the IT field, translating IT into product/market needs and viceversa. I also like to keep in touch with raw technology so i build things from time to time.

Focus Note Wallpaper
I’ve been using Focus Note for a while now, and I love it. It’s a simple yet beautiful app that I use to take notes. It needs a companion. A simple and beautiful wallpaper that let’s you focus on your notes, so I created a simple one (actually two) with the color palette of the app.

Lots of Eartquakes
Now that we have a lot of earthquakes in Tenerife again, it’s time to revive an old SwiftUI project which I used back in 2020 to learn Combine Framework to learn how to use the fetching an API and so other things like publishers and listeners. This time I will use Swift Data (no more CoreData non-sense) and update to the latest version of Apple APIs. At the same time i will learn how to share the core codebase to create not only iOS version but also a macOS version, TVOS and a watchOS version.
One day later… and a couple of sessions with Claude Code Sonnet 4.6 and CursorComposer 1.5 and we can say we have a working project with an database of earthquakes and usefull information to stay informed about the earthquakes in the Canary Islands.
I use public data from the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (https://www.ign.es/web/vlc-ultimo-terremoto/-/terremotos-canarias/get10dias) to get the latest earthquakes in the Canary Islands.

My Decade-Long, Love-Hate Relationship with Note-Taking Apps. Until now.
My Decade-Long, Love-Hate Relationship with Note-Taking Apps
If you’re anything like me, your digital life is a graveyard of abandoned note-taking apps. For over a decade, I’ve been on a relentless quest for the perfect digital notebook, a journey that has left me with a mixture of appreciation and intense frustration.
Until now… that I have built my own.
Scratch your own itch
Scratching My Own Itch: Why I Built Focus Note
If you are one of those who spend lots of time in front of a computer and you write a lot of text, and I mean, A LOT, this might be familiar for you.
For years, my digital life has revolved around the idea of producing, storing and organizing content, specially text in the form of documents, notes, ideas, thoughts, presentations, manuals, instructions, etc. I’ve used a vast collection of applications and always ended up storing them all spread across a dozen different apps and formats. Each application promised a revolutionary way to organize my thinking, but each one ultimately fell short. Some were bloated with features I never used, turning the simple act of jotting down a thought into a complex task. Others were too rigid, forcing me into workflows that just didn’t feel natural. It always felt unnatural firing up Micrsofot Word for just jotting down a thought.
I’m a firm believer in the “scratch your own itch” philosophy. When you can’t find the tool you need, nowadays with the help of AI, you can build it. That’s what this story is all about. This is the story of a journey to build Focus Note.
Caballos vs Coches
De los caballos a los “caballos de potencia” pero sin caballos: No hay nada más que ver la transformación que se puede ver en dos fotos del mismo sitio con sólo 13 años de diferencia. En una simple imagen en la Quinta Avenida de Nueva York se observa el impacto de lo que supuso la aparición del coche en nuestra sociedad. Una foto que comparto para ilustrar el efecto de lo que nos viene encima. Por si alguien piensa que la IA no nos va a pasar por encima.

El CEO de NVIDIA, Jensen Huang, dijo que “el 100% de los ingenieros de software en el futuro, y hay 30 millones de ellos en todo el mundo, estarán asistidos por IA. Estoy seguro de que el 100% de los ingenieros de software de NVIDIA estarán asistidos por IA para finales de este año. Y, por lo tanto, los agentes de IA estarán en todas partes”.
