It's only work...

Thanks to some recent happenings, I realised that I was giving too much importance to my job. Of course, working is part of my life (and I like my job), but it is not the most important part: I have other dreams, hopes, problems, expectations, joys, etc... in my life, and working is not part of them.

The fact that some of my dreams were about my job is scary... Hopefully, I fixed this before it became a real problem. And I am enjoying real life!

I had a dream...

I had a dream... A dream about a university where students can actually learn something, where professors care about the students and about the quality of the courses, where doing research can still be fun... A place where you can enjoy working, where the grass is green and girls are pretty (wops... Sorry, this is a different song :).

And now, reality check: in real world, only money, politics and similar things are important. So, I just had a dream. I stopped dreaming, and back to reality. No problems: I am pretty sure I'll manage to survive.

Broken ski binding

Last Sunday the weather was good, so I decided to go skiing...

Unfortunately, something went terribly wrong; I am ok, but I cannot say the same about the ski binding (as you can see from the picture).

Confusion about technology

I think in these days there is some confusion about technology:

• it is not uncommon to hear people saying things like "I want to take a picture... Can you give me your cell phone?"
• on the other hand, there are people that turn on the computer and use skype to make a phone call
  
• finally, I have to pay a "tv tax" (canone rai) because I own a computer...

Now, I hope to see someone using a photo camera to watch tv, so that the circle is closed...

Starting to blog

Ok; sometimes I feel bored and I decide to try something new...
Let's try blogging and let's see how it goes
