About
My name is Darice de Cuba, born and raised in Aruba. Residing in The Hague, Netherlands since 2004, before that from 2000 to 2004 I lived in the small town, Arnhem, in the east of the Netherlands while attending college in Utrecht. Thanks to my island upbringing and diverse roots I speak several languages such as; English, Dutch, Spanish and Papiamento.
Things that keep me occupied every day when not at work are drinking tea, black tea is my favourite—reading books, streaming old sitcom re-reruns in the background, reading, walking around shooting photos, and drinking decaf coffee at my current go-to coffee spot. I also like to cook, nothing fancy but I’m told I do go the extra mile for a regular weeknight meal. If not up for cooking I have several go-to places to get food from.
As for work, I’m a UI Engineer with a focus on Accessibility working at a news editorial. I also tend to shoot the occasional portraits and photos for articles and write blogs now and then.
I am also a public speaker available to give a talk or presentation at your school, company, or event. You can reach me at darice@darice.org
weblog
This weblog was created in the year of 2003 when I was a junior in college. It was a place to practice HTML, CSS and PHP. Its first incarnation was my own blogging system coded in PHP and MySQL. Now it runs on WordPress with my own classic theme.
I used to write about everything here but over the years I wrote fewer blogs and also less personal. Now I write my more personal observations in my monthly newsletter and my general observations, opinions and whatnot on my weblog.
simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
