Welcome to my website!

Ramblings and thoughts about tech, free software, and hobbies of my life, shared bit by bit.

Enjoy your stay here!

Hey! I'm Joel (a.k.a joelchrono). A random guy from México lindo y querido! I am a hobby collector, fake fan of many things, foss enthusiast, gamer, mechatronics engineer, and of course, a blogger

You are visiting my personal website. Here you can see some of my thoughts and ramblings about tech, gaming and other hobbies, my favorite of which is origami. I hope you enjoy your visit! Take your time and explore as much as you want, there’s plenty of sections to dive into!

I'm really into music, this text will be overwritten by the latest song I listened to if you enable Javascript, maybe something by Miki Matsubara or Daft Punk.

Latest blogs

I was on a podcast (again)

For the second time ever, you are able to hear my voice on the internet! This time along with James on his show: Wonders of Web Weaving!

When a blogpost eats another

Some random ramble about starting to write a blogpost only to realize it could end up as something different and maybe better too.

This week in other years

Why not write a walkthrough guide about the website you are visiting right now?

September 2025 Summary

Another month goes by, another summary follows. The podcast, books and other media I enjoyed during September!

I have a problem with snacks

A question at work sparked this ramble , which was brewing for a while now, and brought back some memories from earlier days

Almost buying videogames

I still want to buy games but I have managed to stay put right now, so here are some thoughts about that

Cultural outsider

Since the pandemic, and a long time before that, I never quite fit with the mainstream culture of my country, from the way I look at pricing to the kind of videogames I play, so here are some thoughts about that.

Nintendo Switch

Since I got my Nintendo Switch, I have played a bunch of games and I have had a lot of fun, so I wanted to share my thoughts on it after a couple months of use.

The way I read books

How I like to read and the software I use to do so. From physical books to audiobooks.

I am fine without a smartwatch

Around a month ago I bought a Xiaomi Mi Band 7, but recently, I have used my older analog and digital watches more and more, and I've even bought some more, maybe they are enough for me?.

Support me

You can support me in many ways, either via PayPal, Liberapay or Ko-fi

I don’t use crypto personally, but if you want to give me some, there is the option too. My domain provider actually lets me renew it with that! So it doesn’t go to waste :P

Monero I only use Monero since at least its something anonymous and privacy respecting!
