My new blogs about Intermittent Fasting

I've created a couple of blogs about Intermittent fasting: https://stgsys.net/jejum-intermitente/  (in portuguese) and https://stgsys.net/intermittent-fasting/  (in english) The reason is simple - I really believe in intermittent fasting potential for weight loss and improved health, as shown in many studies. Yet there is a lot of misinformation and it is easier for me to point out to a single place with articles and videos about the subject.

Stealing Worlds - Book Review

Stealing Worlds, by Karl Schroeder, is a near future SF novel. The main character, Sura, just discovered that her father was killed and have to disappear - in a society where surveillance is everywhere. She ends up hiding in mixed reality games - which in this world are ubiquitous and can do a whole lot. Really loved it. The world building is pretty great, including the vast use of AR and blockchain everywhere. The events leading to the end were pretty cool, too. A really memorable world - in many ways like Lockstep, from the same author, which created a very interesting concept to get around light speed on civilizations.
