About me

Background

Reinventar began in September 2004 as an informal way for me to post all the random ideas, news, and bits and bytes of information as I browse the net. It’s also where I showcase some of the projects I’ve made in the past years and it’s also a place for me to randomly rant or give my (humble) opinion.
