Hi there! I’m a combustion engineer by day, group exercise instructor by night, and this is my website. I live in Florida, have great dogs named Rory and Amelia, not-so-great cats named Tate, Jacob and Luna. I have many interests and hobbies.
My family name is Valdés. Throughout my life, this name has been mistakenly spelled with a ‘z’ as Valdéz or Valdez. However, on the internet, spelling matters. If one character is incorrect, emails are not received, websites are not found, etc. Therefore, I decided to make my website name unique by using leetspeak and replacing the ‘s’ with a ‘5’.
So how is valde5.com pronounced? As an example, Joel Thomas Zimmerman, a famous Canadian electronic music producer, DJ, and musician, used leetspeak for his artist name deadmau5 which is pronounced “dead mouse”. Therefore, when referring to this website say you are at “valdes dot com” and then raise your hand with five fingers and say “replace the s with the number 5.” Enjoy the blogs!
