First Words

Hello, my name is Zé and I like to philosophize and write. Born in '84, BSc in Computer Science, I'm a game designer, actively working, going on my 2nd year as a full-time member of the video game industry.

I call the blog Ice 9 in tribute to Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., one of the most important novels I've read, discussing - among other things - the truths, goodness and love that may stem from the absurd. Life can seem to make sense at times, others be chaotic. If we can glean meaning from the irrational, impossible, I say, we can understand existence and ourselves far better.

Ice 9:42 - because we should always try to keep asking questions. Even if we think we have the answers.

I'll use this blog for all my more socially relevant and professionally interesting writing, my musings on games and more.

Enjoy your read, and keep on chillin.
