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.

Archie and his Peroni

The youngest child / cat of our family has a deep phisical connection to me and my wife and simply loves to be with us on the table after dinner time. We have a long one so there's more than enough space to do so.

The other day we had a rotisserie chicken for dinner and a couple of beers. I took a chance to take this silly photo, which makes me smile.

last days of summer

Italy’s been split in half in these days. In the North we are having heavy rains and cold. I the South we’re dealing with the hot Scirocco’s African wind, with more than 34ºC.

So, waiting for the rain coming down in the next couple of days, we’re enjoying some seaside life.

my Tumblr

One of my longest livin' on-line project is my Tumblr space where I have been collecting quotes, skyline and motorcycles photos and a lot of great art I find on-line regarding comics.

My Tumblr has an identity so strong that I've never tought to close it, move it, delete it. I think it's a great archive and from time to time I make a back-up of it in the remote evenience that the Automattic team that now runs the show will decide to close it.

reality is chaos

❝ Reality is chaos, and we’ve created an algorithm that keeps us informed of as much of that chaos as possible, from the second we wake up to the second we go to bed, and then we wonder why we’re anxious.

Aprilia

Those two 125cc Aprilia bikes were the objects' of my wet dreams when I was sixteen… I was lucky enough to ride both of them :-)

The RX was very tall. I still can't believe I managed to get on it, given my height of 170cm and the height of the motorcycle. Also, I clearly remember how the RX was a wheelie hooligan. I has some fear throtling the gas at lower gears.

Playground

Over the results that Apple's Playground.app on iOS gives me I was not able to find one that was vaguely useful to be used in a "large" format as you can see here. Did you succeed getting some nice image out of that?

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.
