I’m a bit in love with my hometown today. Not only we’re about to host a mobile video/web video content festival, which for this parts is akin to predict the Internet in the fifties, but we’re also having an online news sites festival this week. Regardless of how both events will unfold and how much (or how little) they will grow in the coming years, I think it’s awesome. So much so, I basically resorted to web necromancy, posting something new here.

What's on that desk?
I wage a hopeless battle against clutter on my desk: every once in a while I tidy it up and in a few hours it reverts to its natural state of major entropy. So, just to amuse myself, I've decided to list, roughly once a month, all the stuff that's on my desk. Note: mine's a custom-made desk, L-shaped: the | is two meters long, the _ is 70 centimeters. So, there's a lot of space above it and also quite a lot below it (shelves, drawers, the like). A lot of space means a higher tolerance for clutter, which is good, but it also invites it more, since, well, there's space for it. Anyway, let's go:
Stuff that's always there:
- A small metal shelf, holding from top to bottom: the ADSL router/gateway, a wireless gamepad, an external hdd and a usb hub.
- lamp
- printer
- cordless phone
- mouse charger
- 4 satellites of a 5.1 audio system
- a wood thingie shaped as a cobra that holds my headphones
- headphones
- another usb hub
- a California Raisin figurine that looks like Michael Jackson during the Bad album era
- monitor (22')
- a table calendar with photos of kitties
- 2 pen holders with pens (gasp!), pencils, eraser and the likes
- mousepad
- wired mouse
- wireless mouse
- keyboard
- 5.1 audio system remote
- buffy season 7 dvd boxset
- angel season 5 dvd boxset
- a green cup
- a cat-shaped plate with a used tea-bag on it
- digicam battery charger
- digicam
- assorted notepads
- laptop
- book on ancient Egypt's art
- book of an Andy Wahrol's works exhibition
- diary
- flashlight
- cellphone charger
- house keys
- pocket rule
- newspaper
- drawers with assorted crap: old cd drives, ram chips, all manner of cables, blah blah
- pc case
- printer paper
- photo paper
- printer's ink cartridges
- empty boxes of computer stuff
- empty boxes of photo stuff
- joystick
So, this is the sitch right now, fairly manageable and decidedly not messy, since I tidy it up this morning. How much worse will it be in a month? The experiment has started!
And so it begins...
Well, this is going to be my first post. And it doesn't have anything at all to do with photography. Because, Dear Blog (yes, I won't pretend I have readers), I will use you as a tuttifrutti rambling tool... what I mean is, I'll write whatever crosses my mind.
So now that we got that out of the way, I'll let you know that I spent half an hour choosing a template for you and went with the 'Minima Dark' because, I'm embarrassed to say, it was the easiest to modify the header for. I like it well enough, though, simple, clean and easy to read. Not sure about the background color yet, I may revert to the original black one. We'll see.
Well, Dear Blog, this wasn't much of a post, but it's the first. Things will improve. I mean, we wouldn't want to start with some wonderful witty entry and then being unable to follow, would we? No, better to begin at the bottom, so we can only improve from here. L8r, c-ya, and all those sort of things.
