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 [...]

New HD

My Thinkpad R50e came with a 40GB HD. Too little space for my coming needs, as the laptop (krapfengeist) will be my main technology tool while in the US.
Therefore, I decided to buy a new 160GB HD and today I configured it with GELI+Gjournal, dumped my old HD to it and swapped the HDs.
That’s it. [...]

Drops of thoughts

Randomly chosen and thought about things I put on my “what to change in my life” list:

What
Why

Start drinking tea for breakfast
I like tea and I suppose it’s healthier than coffee. But is it?

Practice some kind of physical activity on a daily basis
I’m fat. Uh.

Begin developing my own BW films
Amateur photographers must develop their own [...]

Lost twin found!

I found my lost twin. It’s Seth Rogen. Thanks goes to Fontzy for having pointed this out to me and for the image below. Oh gosh, I should now watch all Seth’s movies! =)

But yesterday I had my beard and hair cut…

Emotions

I know it may sound a bit weird, but I really like loading the film on my Leica CL. It’s a simple but important action which thrills me.
