I enjoy sharing stories I have read, notes I have taken, or ideas I have logged. Personal productivity, team growth, books, and the Internet are some of the topics I write about.

As for this project of losing weight by writing about it on the blog, you’ll understand that, hell, I’ve failed spectacularly. Despite Manuel’s friendly prodding, I gave up a good while ago. Coming back from Brussels, along with good...
It means knowing every time we leave that the passport we’re holding is a political object that represents rights and privileges together, that a return ticket isn’t just a piece of our logistical organization, but – as we were saying...
At the beginning of July, my daughter tripped while playing basketball. It seemed like a simple sprain, but it turned out to be a hairline fracture of the fifth metatarsal. Brace and rest. Two weeks later, we were supposed to leave for...
I’m writing much less because I’m thinking, much less. I’m thinking much less about what I watch, what I read, what I use or what I eat, what I do and who I am. It’s a period, it must be summer, it’s a period in which I watch, read, use,...
We repainted the entire house. All of it. I spent two months boxing up books, paintings, toys, digital devices, more books, and candles and mugs and pen holders and desk photographs and dozens of miscellaneous knick-knacks, and glasses...
For almost six years on my desk, in addition to the monitors and the current Mac, a mechanical keyboard IQUNIX F96 Coral Sea – now out of production, this one – has stood stable and proud. It’s become an indispensable tool for me, even...
A dear friend of mine is no longer working. She was laid off last May 2025 and hasn’t been able to find a new job for a year. A whole year without work. She was a copywriter. Today, her job is done by an LLM. Bad, but sufficient for the...
This is an archived version of my Now page. I haven’t updated this page in quite a while. A lot has changed since then, like the company I worked for, or the fact that I attempted a public challenge but without success. I finally...
I read Kevin Wammer’s latest post with interest: he switched to Android a few months ago with a Pixel 10 and talks about all the apps he’s installed – replacing some he used on iOS – and how he’s using them in his new ecosystem. I envy...
I haven’t lost any weight—I’ll say that right off the bat. Or rather, I’ve lost just under 1 kg (~2.20 lbs). This public commitment I made to myself didn’t go as I’d hoped. I kept up with my swimming sessions, the occasional brisk walk...
I left the company where I had been working for the past (almost) year. There are various reasons for this, but they all boil down to two main issues. The first is related to my previous experience. Since I am still involved with my...
I’m back to traveling for work. My old project and my new job will require me to travel more often, much like I did in recent years, when four out of every 14 days I spent 800 km away from home. Over the past few weeks, I’ve taken trains...
I need to replace my work Mac within a few weeks. 1 My work laptop is synced with my personal one for everything that involves iCloud. I have pretty much the same apps, and I use Homebrew for everything I can. So, with the switch coming...
AI has recently been used on this blog just to improve the graphic design: I’ve asked for help on several occasions to fine-tune aesthetic details that would otherwise have taken me forever. But never when it comes to the content. And...
I had a PDF in English, so I asked Claude Code to translate the text into Italian and convert it to EPUB. Done – it works and reads well. It took me less than 5 minutes. Things that, I don’t know, might not even have occurred to me to do...
