The geek diva is here! Welcome to my blog. I claimed the tittle “geek diva” by virtue of being a certifiable geek and a certifiable diva. My areas of advanced geekness are: Artificial Intelligence (2003+), Digital Signal Processing (2004+), Statistics (2004+), Computer Programming (2000+), Videogames (1985+, since the Atari era), Tae Kwon Do (1994-1998), Makeup artistry (1994+), Professional Modeling (1999-2000), Teaching Computer Science (2008+) and being an evil bastard. I had the good fortune to meet an amazing man at an Astronomy event in January 2008 and I totally fell in love with him, we’ve been happily together for about a year now. This blog features very diverse areas, from Artificial Intelligence and Computer Programming to Beauty, Diet and Makeup, through some personal stuff, so be my guest and feel free to choose and follow any topic(s) of your preference. Enjoy the site, and feel free to comment. Thank you for your visit! =)
