More work done on the site, since its first publication... This time I devoted some time also to technical minded people ;-) Main changes: 1) Updated pages to link to this blog and show mail information (thanks for letting me know about bugs so early!) 2) Created page for the Electronics section (I mainly had to choose the right graphic appearance) 3) Created foreword

After three year of abandon of my site (and a long period of asociality, for that matter) I am having some days at home due to some annoying circumstances... and decided it was definitely time to completely rewrite it.  There are whole new sections, a lot of new content... and it is drastically changed in the graphic appearance. Although there were 'philosophical' reasons behind

I remember sitting outside in the porch of a hut, high in the mountains. No maintenance asked, no maintenance given since the 1700's. The quiet was pervading. I sat on a log in the snow, smoking my pipe and looking at the crystal clear, black sky.The simplicity of nothingness, the beautiful feeling of not having anything to say or to do.That feeling only very young or very special people

Cameras don't take pictures, photographers do. "The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it." "Vivian came here from France in the early 1930's and worked in a sweat shop in New York when she was about 11 or 12. She was not Jewish but a Catholic, or as they said, an anti-Catholic. She was a Socialist, a Feminist, a movie critic, and a

The underestimated role of brass in western contemporary world A minimal history After the Copper Age came the Bronze Age, followed later by the Iron Age.

Why a new blog? The contemporary Internet is already full of them, and somehow the 'blog' concept itself reached its built-in obsolescence; with the advent of the 'web 2.0' (now almost 3.0...) the idea of fruition as the assimilation of a sequential flow of thoughts and links already smells of naphtalene and lavender.
