A web agency weblog

Well, after three months publishing “A web agency weblog", I would like to officially introduce myself.

My name is Alexis Bellido, I am peruvian and live at Lima. I work developing Internet projects since 1998, in 2000 I founded Ventanazul, a web agency focused in worldwide customers. I used to be a networking consultant before that.

This weblog was born as part of our agency’s web site redesign. I needed a more personal space, a place to share my comments about work, family, ideas and projects.

I love reading and hope writing a book someday. Having a weblog is a very interesting exercise for a novel writer. Some of my favorite authors: Gabriel García Marquez, Asimov, Neal Stephenson, Bryce Echenique, José Saramago, Arthur C. Clarke, Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft, J.R. Tolkien, Bertrand Russell, Orson Scott Card, Dan Simmons, Neruda, Borges … well! It is a very long list.

I hear many genres of music. Currently I enjoy nordic rock, bands like: Sigur Ros, Mew, Kashmir, Under Byen and Kent, and post rock such as: Mogwai, Giardini di Miro and Explosions in the Sky, are in my playlists. Of course I have a very special place for classics like: Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Chopin, Sui Generis, Beatles, CCR and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I play some guitar, but just for relaxing myself, I’m not quite good at it, I should have chosen piano, which I will learn later with my daughter.

I participate in many online communities, discussion forums and administer Forums Ventanazul, where we are gathering a nice group of people from many different countries, talking about: Religion, Internet businesses, movies, books, music, online marketing and web design, to name a few topics.

I’ve offered lectures about Internet related issues at many cities in my country. I really enjoy talking in public and traveling.

I was one of the founders of the Asociación Nacional de Webmasters Perú (ANWMP), a non profit local webmasters organization and moderate Red Científica Peruana’s Teleworking mailing list.

I like to study and talk about many issues: Society, human behaviors, customs, theology and others.

I live with my wife, Yesenia, and my daughter Beatriz. They are the force behind each of my days.

Currently there are not dogs or cats in this family, but we will solve that soon.

I hope to offer my best, or at least my most honest, writing to all of you who choose to include this weblog in your regular readings.
