Basilica di Sant'Andrea
This basilica was built in 1227 (though the cloister in the picture was rebuilt in the 1400s), and has largely stayed the same since then.
Taken in Vercelli, Italy.
Hey, I’m
I’m a web developer trying to figure out this weird thing called the internet. I write about development, the web, games, music, and whatever else I feel like writing about!
I was born and raised in Brazil, living amongst the vineyards of Serra Gaúcha. I built my first website when I was 9, then got sidetracked by video games and started learning development for real when I was 17. I fell in love with building things for the web and now, 12 years later, I feel like I’ve done a bit of everything.
Lately, I’ve been working on taking companies’ online presence to the next level at Useful Group, playing video games and looking for cool things to write about here.
Things might look a little wonky or keep changing - that’s because this site is still under construction. I’m probably tinkering with something right now.
You're still welcome to look around, though!

The new Amazônia Logo (and brand)
The Brazilian Amazon now has a brand and a logo, with the intent of promoting the 9 states it occupies as a tourist destination! And wow, that logo is a thing of beauty.
The entire branding is pretty neat, but the logo is especially stunning. Each letter is based on real curves of the Amazon river (the longest river in the world), and each letter is also from a different state! Great taste and great execution, here. And all made in Brazil. 🇧🇷
And not only the logo, but they also made a type font called Igaratype, and you can play around and let the Amazon river spell out whatever you want in this live playground.

Robert Eggers knows just how to transport you into not only a different time, but into all the brutality and supernatural aspects of its folklore. What a great movie, even if (thankfully) all the masculine energy it exhales is not my cup of tea.
World of Warcraft - Midnight

So much squandered potential. Warcraft has an incredibly rich lore, hundreds of memorable characters, and they even had an entire expansion before to build up to this one. And then proceeded to tell the most boring story ever. What’s worse, they even committed the crime of making the player character have no place in it. Seriously, who thought it’d be a good idea to have a story in which the player factions (Horde and Alliance) don’t even show up?
Gameplay is still fun because it’s WoW, but gosh what a narrative trainwreck.

One of the small things that surprised me the most after moving from Brazil to Italy is how the seasons of the year are very clearly defined over here.

Fantastic. Incredible. The soundtrack alone would make any movie good, but pair with amazing visuals and an incredibly interesting story? Heck yeah!

There’s a bunch of good sci-fi movies out there, but very few that lean so much into the “sci” part of it. Everything that happens in the movie feels believable* even if they’re completely alien to us (it is a space movie, after all), and there’s a pretty good story in there too. If you liked The Martian or Interstellar, you’re gonna love this one.
*except for the idea of humanity working together to save itself, which is obviously never gonna happen.
Another great article by Josh explaining a neat little trick on how to make the header of a website dynamic… by having it not do anything at all. Don’t worry, it’s quite simple and he explains it way better than I ever could.

One of my favorite series, I loved rewatching it. From the case-of-the-week episodes in the first seasons to the bigger arches in the later seasons, it is overall a fantastic show with very few blunders.
What surprised me this rewatch is how much I liked the last season, which was the worst one for me before. Now I think it’s one of the best!
I’d rank the seasons 1 = 4 > 2 > 8 > 3 > 6 > 5 > 7.
