Yesterday, waiting for Morfeus (the God, not the Blue-Pill-Red-Pill Freak) to catch me and bring me to sleep. I had this movie in my beloved iPhone, “Lars and the Real Girl”. It’s pure gold. A movie about a guy, Lars (Ryan Gosling), who has a very strange mental disease, that needs a Girlfriend but is unable to catch-and-kiss the classical Next-Door-Girl (Kelli Garner) that loves him… also if she is aware of his sickness. ...

Innovation is one of the major topics that all the Big companies speaks all the time about: how, what, when… Innovation? When the reality is of a little/medium size company, Innovation is easy: you don’t need to convince, motivate, move people. Teams with “Innovation in mind” just pop out from the ground… and a good manager just need to feed and support them. But when it comes to big companies, with budgets of millions, with Customers that are even bigger… it’s like trying to move an Elephant using one man and a cord. Mission Impossible. But. There are brave companies. Companies that plays the game smart. And those company lead Innovation. Apple? Yes, please! This article is indirectly about Apple: it’s about Pixar. It’s an interview to the Director of a different great movies in Pixar that brought “Innovation where looked impossible”: Phillip Bradley Bird (aka Brad Bird). ...

Il mio amico SbatMan mi ha segnalato questo video che volentieri mi sento di menzionare sulle “pagine” del mio Blog, anche per rimanere nel tema della critica contro la Chiesa sollevato dal mio tesoro.

… Stavo per partire, dovevo andare da mio cugino a Milano. È strano come con chiunque parli, qualunque sia l’argomento, appena dici che stai per andartene via ricevi auguri, complimenti e giudizi entusiasti: «È così che si fa. Fai benissimo, lo farei anch’io». Non devi aggiungere dettagli, specificare cosa andrai a fare. Qualunque sia il motivo, sarà migliore di quelli che troverai per continuare a vivere in queste zone. … ...

> Title: Giorni Dispari (Divenire Tour2007) Author: Ludovico Einaudi The piano is a “frightening” instrument for me. I have a lot of walls. I have thousands of bricks making these walls. I have my castle that helps me to fight against all the bad things. But the piano is like an earthquake that destroy everything around. And it leaves me alone with my self. A terrible comparison between the exterior me and the interior me. Two sides of the same person, that can’t live together in the same place: at least one must die. Or disappear. ...
