Tutto inizia e tutto finisce a Boston

UPDATE: per uno stupido errore avevo disattivato i commenti. Ora sono di nuovo attivi, quindi scatenatevi (??) pure.. =)
Inizio con lo spiegare il titolo, ma se avete visto La Guerra dei Mondi insieme a Vizz e a me, sapete già tutto. In pratica, nel suddetto film, il buon Tom Cruise cerca di salvare la sua [...]

Some updates for English speaking readers

As you probably know, I’m in Providence, RI, to work on my thesis at Brown University. Everything is fine: I’m here since a week (tomorrow) and I’m settled with accomodation, work, mobile phone number, bank account and so on.
I’m really excited of being in a new city: new places to see, new things to do, [...]

Soccer, tedeschi, materassi ed altre amenità

Da questo momento mi considero ufficialmente sistemato a Providence: sono andato in dipartimento e ho ricevuto login, password, Brow ID card e quant’altro, ho aperto un conto in banca (ho ricevuto dei vezzosissimi assegni dai colori sgargianti e mi è stata fatta notare la possibilità di ordinarne altri con disegnato Spongebob…), ho fatto l’abbonamento per [...]

Le mie camicie e l’asciugatrice

Note to English speaking readers: from now on, I’ll start writing some posts in Italian. Now that I’m living in Providence, RI, I think I have this right.

Italian newspapers suck. US newspapers suggestions needed.

I really like reading newspapers, when there are intelligent editorials above all. Reading an electronic edition just isn’t the same thing, to me. But I want to read quality newspapers, and consider a publisher’s duty (and a reader’s right) the newspaper to be written in correct current but rich language, with correct syntax and an [...]

Food problems

As I often said I’m just (too) fat.
On Wednesday I’m leaving to the USA, which is traditionally considered an unhealthy country for a food point of view. This fact makes me feel in trouble, or at least I feel my health in trouble. Therefore, I will have to pay the maximum attention possible when [...]

GEB-EGB finished!

It took me more than one and half year to finish that fantastic book that “Goedel, Escher, Bach - An Eternal Golden Braid” is.
I got it for my 21th birthday and finished it few days ago while on cruise on the Egean sea.
It gave me lots of food for thoughts and a new point of [...]

GPG Key Updated (again)

My dear friend flevour pointed out a mistake on my side in my GPG key, so I had to update it again. You find it on my GPG key page.
Sorry for the noise.

Those nights

With a dozen of old and new friends at the pub, bottles of cabernet wine on the tables and smiles on the faces.
Playing jokes while playing football in front of the Cathedral.
Laughing just to laugh, cheering up those who leave towards new harbors.
Ignoring the time, ignoring the weather, ignoring life itself but here and now.
This [...]
