Gloomy day. Ceaseless rain.
Walk like a blue ghost,
covered in a poncho:
it makes you look like a tired,
retired superhero.
The rabbits must be all
hiding underground:
they know better.
I go from one concrete building
to the other, change titillating
screens a million times.
The post office makes me wait
and 68p go away on a piece of paper
with the face of a future king.
The red totem is there,
still, opening its mouth.
It devours. We walk back
with printed words on paper
in the bag. The words are there.
The more I read them the more I feel
like walking like a blue ghost
under the rain. The rain stops
for a moment.
Absolute peace.
Only the sound of
a computer, breathing.

My passion is creating opportunities for discovery, creativity and innovation. I am an advocate for enhanced access to information as a public good. I enjoy fostering engagement and openness, facilitating collaboration and mentoring.
My main focus is multi-disciplinary and involves practically and theoretically connecting the dots between varied, closely-related fields and topics: comics studies; human-computer interaction design, library and information science, digital humanities, scholarly communications, publishing studies, digital innovation and material culture, intellectual rights and open science, access, data and educational resources.
I love writing and spreading the word about the things I believe in. I love higher education and the Internet and I define myself as a digital scholarship advocate. I love working collaboratively and on my own. You can still follow me and/or contact me via Twitter @ernestopriego.
