My name is Josue Salazar, and I live in Costa Rica, close to a volcano and I wouldn’t be happier anywhere else. I hit the beaches whenever I get a chance.
I work on a black Macbook and own quite a few gadgets.
I write stuff online on The Uber Geeks, a blog started by Colin Devroe and Chris Fehnel. Mike Stickel also blogs there. We have a lot of fun and have had a podcast called TUG Radio.
I also write (or used to, I don’t do it anymore) on Fayer Wayer, a spanish tech site, it’s a lot like Engadget or Gizmodo, and I had a podcast there called FW Radio.
