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.

truth on the Artemis II mission

One of the coolest things in 2026 was the Artemis II mission which tried to show people all over the world that there's still some beauty and hope in human collaboration to achieve a greater COMMON goal, instead of going hunting 'personal' – or stricktly National – ones.

The four astronauts out there in the space, to me, have commented like below the view of our little, insignificant world among the billions and billions of other planets out there.

He who sleeps catches no fish *

… this photo, along with the quote that a Sicilian friend posted on his profile, made me smile. There's a longing for summer and lightness, hoping that this international mess sparked by Israel and Trump stops and gives us a break.

Just six years ago we were locked inside our homes in a global lockdown, telling ourselves "everything will be fine.

[*] the literal translation of the old italian saying seems to be “The early bird catches the worm”, but this translation betray the correlation with the photo.

tiny desk

Yesterday I was tooting about opening a CrucialTrack profile, or simply share a song I like on my personal spaces. In the meanwhile I evaluate, let me share with you the enjoyment felt listening to this NPR Tiny Desktop performance on youtube, recorded at mid. October 2025

Enjoy !!!

Coincidences?

We all know that astrology is a myth, a gimmick, a fairy tale—an excuse we've built for ourselves to claim that certain behaviors and attitudes aren't "our fault," but rather depend on whether an astral conjunction is in our favor or not. On the gravitational interaction of (relatively) distant and unreachable objects in the cosmos.

And yet, reality often seems to back up the magazine gossip and horoscopes. Just yesterday, in fact, I was reflecting on the fact that my longest-lasting friendships—the people I enjoy seeing and hang out with most often—all celebrate their birthdays on these dates: early March, late May, late September / early October, early November.

Invariably. They all belong to specific zodiac signs that are compatible with mine. Coincidence?

Sal Buscema

When I started reading comics (again) in 1993 on Amazing Spider-Man, in Italy, they were printing the arc drawn by Sal Buscema, with the Vulture and Harry Osborne as the Green Goblin. Also Vermin was an enemy of our hero.

Sal was very different from his brother in terms of style and page layout. But still he was able to capture feelings, powers, and energy of each character on the page. Maybe he won't be remembered as one of the greatest. But for me he will always be a good storyteller, and I'll miss him.

R.I.P. Sal…
