cool brain

time for vacation
time for cooling my brain off
time for something easy, brainless easy
time for shortest-term plans (I'm hot. Shower. Ohhh)
time for "it hurts to see you dance so well" from The Pipettes, nomination for the best song title ot the year

time and flow

i could program for hours when i'm in the flow...

this limb-like state which everyone experiences also in movies/theatres/books, I'm quite happy it's an important part of my work also

my recipe is:
- discard the time applet on the laptop
- avoid reading emails
- plugging the music of underworld/tape/lithops/motorpsycho

I read of an autistic guy who could memorise 22,500 number of the pi, and declaim them as in a prayer, he said. He felt like paiting on a canvas a scenery of immense colours and flashing lights, but to me the best part is imagining his state of flow in that hours

i'm english and I'm proud of it

p.s. sorry for the cheap humour
p.p.s thx to ilaria for the picture...
p.p.p.s. thx to the mysterious girl leaving that beautiful trace on our tracks!

useless zodiac

i think all the italians seeing Germany vs Italy have baby-cried at the end of the match: it's something in our genoma, italy and football is like Uk and beatles, you have one (or many) modified genes

my theory today is about zodiac: planets move and influence your life, the closer the better. So, since 60,000 fans were supporting Germany last night, their hopes were influencing the games. Ther hopes were useless. Hence zodiac is useless!

Come on Italy let's make it magic!

have you seen this man? - 2nd edition

this man is hostage of Lincoln (or, as they say, "Lincon") City
we will release him shortly, but only if Italy wins tonight (or when he'll reveal how he can type that fast)
