Writings and meditations by Chema Hernández Gil – organizer, foiled engineer, and media activist based in San Francisco.
i decided, after a little hesitation, to start a “blog”. why the quotes? frankly, back in my day (i.e 1995) a “blog” was nothing more than a home page, but i guess these youngings need to feel like they were the ones that invented fire. and perhaps that’s the way things should be. all generations need to feel like the things they use, the things they value, are unique, new. who am i to disagree? after all, i am guilty of the same crime.
