This is the personal blog of Alex, a Canadian explorer and entrepreneur. Aside from sharing his travels and local adventures, Alex mainly intends to post revelations related to his gradual movement from boy to man. His really bizarre dreams, evolution of his perception, general oddities about the world we live in, along with jokes and interesting clips will also be found here.

History

Alex was born in Montreal, Canada, on July 1st 1974, to his nearly Polish mom and “I don’t really know how to explain him in one sentence” European dad. I cannot recall how warm and sunny the day was, but I bet it got a whole lot sweeter around 9:45am.

Much of Alex’s childhood was spent laughing and giggling, playing with his little brother, Mike. Using vast armies of G.I. Joe, Star wars, He-man and Lego, the two spent hours in the basement envisioning empires of carnage and exploration. Alex was responsible for creating worlds, and Mike for not eating the little pieces.

After his dad brought home one of the first personal computers, Alex quickly got sucked into the digital world. The brothers were forced to sign a contract and timesheet, to avoid conflicts trying to use the PC simultaneously. Despite his passion for computers, Alex maintained a balanced lifestyle; downhill skiing, playing soccer, attending scouts, riding his bike, and playing dungeons & dragons with friends were all part of his regular routine.

Alex’s career path was clear; he applied for one program in CEGEP (Pure and Applied Sciences), and one in university (Computer Engineering). After graduating in 1997, Alex worked locally for a few years before moving to Boston and then San Francisco. He returned home in 2003, missing it too much to stay away any longer. Since then, he’s been a software consultant for his own company.

After receiving scattered compliments on his writing style throughout the years, and wanting to expand his creative side, Alex decided to begin a blog in the hopes that sharing with others will help him, somehow… Let’s see what happens.
