May the 4th be with you!

In order to celebrate this special day, I’m releasing Dark Side, a free Tumblr theme inspired by the Star Wars universe and the most badass Sith Lord ever, Darth Vader.

Here’s some of the features:

Responsive: looks good on any device;
Social media links: a wide range of icons ready to use;
Share widget: share your posts on social networks with easy;
Open source: all code is available at GitHub;
Support: if you have any suggestions or found some nasty bugs, open an issue on GitHub and I’ll have a look into it.

Although this theme is free, is very much premium-like: you will find a wide range of customisation options as well, so you can customise the theme the way you like it.

Install this theme!

Thank you. May the 4th be with you!

Exceptional craftsmanship, Dick Proenneke would be proud.

Zelda 30 Year Tribute

A fan tribute to the greatest console game of all time, the NES Legend of Zelda. This open source project uses WebGL and voxels rendering to create a pixel-perfect replica of the original, all in Javascript.

THE most fantastic tribute to one of THE most fantastic games ever!

Just testing out this theme capabilities regarding audio posts.

Full moon over Glendalough last Sunday.

I’m currently reading Surprised by Joy, the autobiography of C.W. Lewis. I found this old copy from 1969 in a charity shop in Dublin, Ireland.

I heard a voice that cried,
Balder the beautiful
Is dead, is dead—

Even thought I am myself an agnostic, I’m truly fascinated by the debate between atheists and believers. What made Lewis an atheist and how did he found the sense of God – or “Joy” as he put it? I hope that his answers help shed some light on my own reasoning about the matter.

“The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths which the mind travels. How worn and dusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and conformity!” — From the the book Walden by Henry David Thoreau
