Creating homemade pot holders Friends, many times we do not know what to do with those clothes that are in disuse - except to throw them in the trash - for reasons of wear or for fashion, but, it turns out that if they have it, the issue is through recycling by taking the parts that can be taken advantage of; as we will see below. What we will see is the creation of a pair of holders to hold pots when cooking, and for this we must: 1- to have at our disposal some trousers…

Top 5 musical - March, 2025 March is already over and has left us a good musical selection that is between two different eras of the rock world: the 70s, with their characteristic hardrock; and the 00's, with their proposals arising from the indie movement. And which are the bands that are on this list? Well, that's what we'll see next. However, it should be remembered that this list is part of my profile on LastFM, a social network that has my statistics on music plays, and…

Short story: The Camp of Silence Deep in a dense and remote forest, where the light barely managed to filter through the treetops, a group of people woke up in the midst of confusion and fear. The place where they were located was a makeshift camp, surrounded by an electrified fence that emitted a constant humming sound, as a perpetual warning that there was no escape. Surveillance cameras swung slowly from rusty poles, watching every move with relentless mechanical eyes. No…

Short story: Matthew's Compass Matthew had always lived in a world that followed its own rules. Since childhood, routines were his refuge, a way to make sense of an environment that he often found chaotic and overwhelming. Her day always started the same way: she woke up at 7:00 o'clock, had toast and strawberry jam for breakfast while listening to the soft murmur of the radio that her mother turned on in the kitchen, and then went for a walk in the park with her father. For…

Short story: The Shadow of Silence In the small and peaceful village of Valle Sereno, where the doors used to stay unlocked and the neighbors knew each other by name, a dark shadow began to hover over the tranquility.

A series of disappearances and unexplained crimes shook the community, leaving everyone with their hearts on edge. That's…

Short story: The Shadow on the Empty Streets The sun was shining with blinding intensity, but for Sofia, the light seemed unable to dispel the sense of unease that accompanied it. It was an April morning, warm and seemingly calm, although something in the air felt strange.

Sofia…

Short story: The Power of Words It was a quiet afternoon in the small village of Vallebrisa, where the sun's rays filtered gently through the leaves of the trees, illuminating the cobbled streets that seemed to tell stories of centuries past. Children played with infectious laughter in the squares, while adults chatted in lively groups, enjoying the warmth of the sun and mutual company. Among them was Sofia, a young woman with a radiant smile and a direct gaze, known for her…

Short story: The Why of Haters on the Internet Sofia's room was a small sanctuary full of life and creativity. The walls were decorated with posters of his favorite bands, neon lights that changed color according to his mood, and shelves crammed with books about music and composition. In a corner, his acoustic guitar rested, his faithful companion since he was ten years old. That afternoon, sunlight shyly entered through the window, illuminating his desk where his laptop was…

Don't throw them away! That's right, folks.

Short story: Under the Relentless Sun In the center of a city that seemed to be melting under a scorching sun, stood an old building of reddish bricks and windows with worn wooden frames. Its walls, covered with dried ivy and moisture stains, kept stories of past generations.

His apartment, small but cozy, was full of books, framed photographs and…

Short story: The Keeper of Lost Dreams In the gloomy and decaying city of San Bartolomé, where the fog curled up between the cobbled streets like a spectral mantle, and the street lamps flickered with a wavering light, like dying fireflies, the night stretched out with an oppressive silence. The wind, cold and cutting, moaned between the broken tile roofs and the smoking chimneys, dragging with it the echo of forgotten stories and whispered secrets. The houses, with worn…

Short story: Habemus Papam I. The Announcement The sunrise in Rome was gray and cold. A light haze covered St. Peter's Square, where silence was unusual. The sun was just rising when the bells of the Basilica began to ring, slow and deep, announcing to the world the death of the Pope. The news spread quickly: in nearby cafes, parishioners read the headlines in the newspapers, and in the streets, the faithful knelt in prayer. Inside the Apostolic Palace, the atmosphere was…

Short story: Under the Flood of Miraluz The rain began one April afternoon in Miraluz, a coastal city where the sea and the land seemed to be in constant dialogue.

Video Games: Playing Mario Kart 64 Recently I decided to dust off the Nintendo 64 console that was stored in the closet. This console, which is not mine but my brother's, has been with us for more than 20 years, and if I'm not mistaken, we may have it just a couple of years after it was released. To pass the time and the desire to relive good memories, I started playing Mario Kart, which is one of the best racing games I've ever come to play. At first I felt a little clumsy…

Video Games: South Park After several years I was able to pass this game, a game that is not very funny to be honest given that it uses the theme of the series on which it is based, South Park, to attract players. And it could be said that, mainly, it is the fans of that program who will fully enjoy more, not those who are not. In short, everything here is about killing turkeys, with background music that is usually repetitive and monotonous. What is salvageable are the…
