About

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

two guys, one blog.

we’re alex and manu - just two friends who wanted a place to write about whatever’s on our minds. no plan, no agenda.

how we met - that’s a story for another time

why we blog - honestly, we just wanted somewhere to put our thoughts. sometimes they’re funny, sometimes they’re boring, sometimes they’re weird. but they’re ours.

what we write about - honestly? whatever we want. tech, life, random observations, things that annoy us, things we find cool. if we’re thinking about it, we might write about it.
