I'm a web developer. With my work, I'd like to contribute to social change. I think that online platforms can help us think better collectively, empowering us to solve the challenges humanity is facing.

Things I want to do

Things I want to do

I want to embark on a larger project —lately, I've been on projects with short cycles—, one and in which I can learn from experts from other areas, specially the social sciences. Beyond learning, I would like my work to have an impact —even if it is small— on society, pushing towards a more egalitarian one.

If you have a project with those characteristics and need a highly motivated web developer on board, please, by all means, contact me.

Stuff I'm reading

Ernst Hemingway's short stories. All technical books and no literature makes Noel a dull boy!

Complex Adaptive Systems: an introduction to computational models of social life. 

Network organisation for the 21st century. Social movements from a networks perspective. Great article.

The Agile Nonprofit, a quickstart guide. From CivicActions.

Managerialist America: it's the managers who are running the country, not the owners of the capital. The Economist.

I like this

I haven't read the author yet, but he seems to write about interesting subjects: religion for atheists and status anxiety, among others. I plan on reading him as soon as I can.http://www.alaindebotton.com

Stanford University's Model Thinking online course, taught by Scott E. Page, the author of the book I'm currently reading :)

Chosen is a library for making long, unwieldy select boxes more friendly.

I was told of a library to convert HTML to PDF using Webkit today: wkhtmltopdf. A few weeks ago, I had to write some clumsy AppleScript to convince Safari to print about a thousand pages to PDF. It wasn't pretty. Now it'll be easier! :)

As the size of a CSS file increases, finding rules gets more inconvenient. Not having a mess helps a lot, of course, but this neat trick from CSS tricks, combined with the code folding shortcuts in TextMate, makes everything even better.
