Carlos Gabriel Limardo

Welcome to the blog of Carlos Gabriel Limardo (limardo.org), not to be confused with Carlos Geru Limardo (carloslimardo.com), my brother! I've been resisting the move to blogger in preference of WordPress on a personal or hosted server. Why did I give in you may ask? Google gave me a FREE Chrome netbook (Cr-48), on top of the FREE Logitech Revue with Google TV that's also on it's way from their pilot program.

I have always respected Google for its great products and willingness to contribute to Open Source. I've relied on Gmail and Google Calendar for years and more heavily after purchasing my G1 on the release date and now Nexus One a few years after that. If that wasn't bad enough I soon moved to Chrome (really Chromium on my Ubuntu laptops) and Google Voice as my main phone number. Far from perfect but far ahead of the competition in my honest opinion.

You will still be able to find info on building your own home brew GApp-like services and CakePHP components and code snippets as my old blog, but also a lot more reviews and info on the latest Google based products I've received for free. I've always been skeptical when it comes to Google or any "cloud" based services, but after receiving these two test products I feel a little bit of a responsibility to "give back" some feedback!

I'll admit I will probably be a little bias for the next few days as Google has woed me, but stay tuned as my paranoia returns and I have a little more time to break things.
