Other than two ‘big’ blogs, I needed a place to put down my scribbles and breadcrumbs of text / life pills. That's the place for those.

Micronauts

Some day ago I found a picture of a beloved toys from the '80s. I've lost even the memory of the end of mine, but I clearly remember playing with it with my friend Nicola (same name as mine), and his copy of the black Baron Karza (I think that was the name of it). Did you play with Micronauts toys too when you were younger?

a day at the beach

As I recently wrote, there's little technology in my life lately, but a lot of lived experience these past few months. If any post might seem bitter, the photo below is my way of showing how I'm savoring every second my new life is giving me with the people I love. 

I remember well the life "stolen" during those hospital months, the fear of never living it again—and now I treat each day as the most beautiful gift life could give me. If I can hug those two, I'm happy and fulfilled.  

Lilo & Stitch (2025)

If you didn't enjoy the animated film nearly twenty-three years ago, or if you did, the most recent cinematic edition of this story maintains a good level of entertainment, fun, and emotional engagement for the viewer. I feared much worse, and instead I liked it very much.

A bit disappointed that having chosen the 21:10 show, followed by nearly 30 minutes of ads, the film started late and my ~8 years old son in the second half of the film slowly slipped into sleep and missed the end.

months of silence

As quoted months ago it's being a period were nothing in the "outside world" makes me happy or excited. The news is a constant flow of shit … of really really bad news, where each day takes a news worst than the day before in what seems to be a neverending series.

So I am closing myself into my small little world. My family, some friend, the minimum dose of work, a nice trip to Malta (more to come, maybe) and some rides with my bike.

It's 7th birdays is days away. I've just passed (today) the psychological threshold of 10000km. Everything's good.

remote workers

As everyone knows, any remote worker with cats has colleagues by his side for the most part of the day. Mine have their own specialization. Archie, depicted here, has a special talent to open the web inspector of a generic browser windows and explore the various options available.

What about your co-workers?

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

Yesterday I've finally saw the last episode of the new "Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man" animated series on Disney+. Frankly one of the best franchise ever starring Spider-Man.

It has managed to  fascinate old guys like me, remembering the '70 TV show and John Romita's artwork, with the right spin of modern technology and themes. Frankly each episode has been a joy to follow, along with my 7 y.o. child on the couch with me most of the time.
