Turning back a mother into a woman in five easy steps
Unfortunately, such a book doesn’t exist so I’ve added a fake cover on the O’Reilly Maker Series: it’s one of the most missing manuals for new fathers. :)
Filminute 2011 critics
Filminute is the International One-Minute Film Festival and for its 2011 edition, I’ve got a deal with them: writing twentyfive short but tweet sized reviews, one for each candidate. I’ve watched all of them: the quality clearly increased since the previous edition. It has been hard to choose a candidate to vote for… and I [...]
On Yeti Tracks
A summer ruled by blue mood is not the right thing to turn me into a hungry reader so “On Yeti Tracks” is the only short novel I can write a few lines about. What I liked most of this pleasant typical Chatwin story, with his unique mix of searching and telling, was the beginning: [...]
Esegesi endomorfa
Il titolo del post dovrebbe essere ironico. :) Uscito dall’Associazione Rientrodolce, per il suo Congresso telematico 2011 ho registrato il mio intervento in forma di audiovideo/screecast, nel quale discuto un mio post con alcune critiche a vari aspetti del pensiero di Zerzan e all’anarco-primitivismo in generale, rispetto a quanto appreso negli anni di studio in [...]
Closing the top posts list
After a few years of monthly updates, I stopped publishing the top posts list of this blog because it has been almost stable for many months so the following is the last one. Top ten Italian songs of all times Inserting raw HTML code in MediaWiki jQuery tabs and cookies Using AWK to remove file [...]
Paesi visitabili con la Carta di Identità
Tempo di vacanze? Ecco la mappa dei Paesi visitabili con la sola Carta di Identità (un paio potrebbero richiedere qualche pratica extra ma l’elenco è questo). La lista l’ho ottenuta attraverso diverse pagine di Wikipedia, mentre per disegnarla, ho usato la libreria Geochart dei Google Chart Tools. Il codice JavaScript, con l’elenco ordinato dei Paesi, [...]
Brevi note sul primitivismo
La mia esperienza in Rientrodolce si è conclusa e queste note, con grande incoerenza, sono state abbozzate viaggiando verso due capitali: la prima in aereo e la seconda in treno. L’analisi sulla civiltà che il primitivismo sviluppa è convincente, quantomeno nei suoi sommi capi sulla domesticazione, la violenza funzionale, l’imperialismo e l’impossibilità della sua riforma.

Yet another c25k report :)
As stated on their website, C25K is a fantastic program that’s been designed to get just about anyone from the couch to running 5 kilometers or 30 minutes in just 9 weeks. I completed it in 6 weeks and 3 days but I was not a true potato couch, though. :) I don’t have a [...]
A week in Belgium
This post contains a few pictures of Brussels and Leuven… though the whole thing was nearer to nine days than a week. :) Brussels Buildings in the Grand Béguinage of Leuven The Town Hall of Leuven My talk during AWEC2011 Group portrait… I was late so you can find me in the red circle :)
