By mistake I missed the first issue of “10 Politically Incorrect Poetry” (a semantic translation of “10 Poesie Incivili”) from Andrea Camilleri (Wiki in Italian).
A masterpiece. Published by MicroMega, the first issue contained 10 poetry, the second 5 (and sounds like there will be others…).
They are all about Berlusconi, Fini, Bossi and the “Gentle-Opposition” of the Italian Democratic Party.
The only problem: they are in Italian, sorry! But we talk about a “Master”, so a try it’s worth it.
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). Continue…

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.
Ah, dimenticavo. Il video è ad alto tasso satirico!
Titolo: Laico - Se lo conosci, lo Eviti. Se non lo conosci, è meglio.

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.

I try to translate it in English, but it’s a quite hard piece of Italian, so I’ll do my best (I don’t have the vocabulary at short hand too…):

I was on my way to leave, to go to meet my cousin in Milan. It’s strange that whoever you talk to, whatever the topic, as soon as you say that you’re leaving, you receive greetings, compliments and good judgement: «It’s the right thing to do. You did well. Well done, I would do the same». You don’t need to add any details, or specify what you are gonna do. Whatever the cause, it will be better than the ones that force you to still live in these places.
…
I’d like to focus on the last thing that the “generic person” says: «… I would do the same».
“What the FUCK are you waiting for?” would be my answer (and, actually, is what I normally do): I understand old people, tired and for whom it would be impossible/hard to live in a different place. But what about ALL THE YOUNG PEOPLE? What force you here?
Love?
Friends?
Family?
I know someone will hate me for this but: SORRY, NOT ENOUGH!!!
