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.

Support me

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

Monero

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