Brian Saghy [Vida en Texto]

Travel, stories and ideas.

This site has been rather abandoned for many years. Sorry, internet.
I strongly considered deleting the contents of my ramblings from over 10 years ago.
Or, maybe it is time for a revival. Enjoy!

The Hidden Costs of a Vanity Domain

Lately, as I’ve been looking at potentially shifting careers from Software Engineering to something more customer facing such as Developer Advocacy, I’ve really been forced to reckon with some personal technical debt – primarily this website, and most recently, my vanity e-mail address. Back in 2004, I felt amazingly fortunate to be able to register…

    Mexico [Sinking] City

    I realized during what was my fourth trip to Mexico since moving to Texas that I had not written even a word regarding my visits and adventures. That is a shame, really, as there is really quite a bit that I should have shared about my travels to Monterrey, Playa del Carmen, and Akumal. This…

    Home to home through home

    Perhaps I was a bit hard on Rochester in my last post. Overall, it really wasn’t too bad of a place to re-visit. It is amazing how much not being able to find something at a late hour can affect my judgment of a place. On Wednesday, after a long day of recruiting at the…

    It was like I’ve always lived in this mess.

    The title is not meant to sound negative. In a way, its what Austin really is. This entire city is a contradiction in my mind, and that seems to be the way I operate. On contradictions. Oh, and, by the way, I am living in Austin, TX now. Should it not have been for my…

    Pittsburgh

    I am in Pittsburgh… again. William calls this city the nexus of the universe. To some extent, I have to agree. I’ve come to realize that I know an extraordinary amount of people here, considering that I am not from the area nor did I go to college here. The fact remains that William is…

    La Primavera

    Today is the budding of something new. My blog. Yes, that is correct, I finally folded and created a blog. Thanks to the help of my good friend, Pat, I decided to use WordPress. So far, things look pretty nice and easy, and I think this should work out pretty well. My primary reason for…
