New year's day, this year, was a little different. Instead of recouping from the night's before partying, I was up early and could enjoy this show in the Dolomites, Italian Alps.
We could get up there only on snow mobiles - altitude is about 7,000 ft.
...and temperature was probably around 5 F.

Awesome entertainment!

Space Invaders is 30. It first came out in April 1978.
It came out the following year in Italy, when the new arcade halls were booming. We had one in my home town, Monselice, where i used to hang around, always short of 100 or 200 Lire coins.
I played a lot and became one of the best, i signed my records as Camel Bill, but i didn't know I was that good until the following summer, 1980.
That was my first trip abroad, to Oxford, England, to learn English. Once in a while we'd find a pub and we'd play the game.
The last time I was almost missing the return flight, I was so into the game, and a small crowd of british teenagers formed around me in awe. I scored the all time record for that joint, and I remember I felt kind of proud, while I was signing that English video game with my Camel Bill marque, while grabbing my hand luggage and rushing to the bus to the airport.

I grew up professionally on good readings like Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs and I never knew that Mr. Niklaus Wirth is Swiss.

Siamo noi questo piatto di grano,
memorie delle colture della laguna a Cavallino, porco sabion, quest'anno non pagano le cipolle, Paolone faceva anche il salumiere oltre ad insegnarmi le direzioni giuste nella vita.
Cosi' stasera piove, ed io ricordo una Vespa bianca lungo la strada litorale, cugina e gelati, e donne a chiacchierare fino a tardi nel caldo delle notti d' estate.

I remember back at the day when your PC was not connected, and still you used it everyday to learn programming, to hack a game, to draw something...
Then the Fidonet came, so some your time was spent checking the free software and the message boards.
Then the Internet came, and it was a whole revolution. Fast forwarding to nowadays, I wouldn't be using the PC as much, in my spare time, if it weren't for the Internet.
And now, through the internet, you can watch good quality streaming TV. I was watching a show on a minor italian TV about food in Tuscany, and i realized...what a different use I am doing with this PC. Still, using it to watch TV does seem like an insult to Wirth, Shannon and Intelligence.
I will have to go back to hacking some good ole C++ code, in order to clean my digital soul.

The USA are the greatest Country. Here you have men like the one below, just a common guy of 80 with $4 billion in his pockets, who doesn't think he needs any more money.
I don't care that he, or his heirs, will make more money. This Plan is good. Even for those who have never seen those wide open spaces of Texas.

Today one Euro is worth 1.60 Dollars. One would wonder, ok oil prices are in dollars and they are going up (119 USD per barrel), how come they are increasing gas prices in Italy??
Should we remind them that the price of a barrel in Euros is 74.4 ? How did they get to sell gas at 1.413 Euros per litre ? I am AMAZED that no media talk about this...
