JTR at FOSDEM '09 (Brussels)

This year on 8th February I've given a Lightning Talk at FOSDEM '09 about JTR (Java Test Runner), one of my open source projects.
It has been an introductory speech aimed at providing the audience with the widest possible panorama of the features delivered by the project.

Waiting for the wonderful FOSDEM staff to complete the video post-processing step, here are the slides I created and used for the event.

Alcune sue immagini e canzoni trovate in rete. Nel primo video che segue, del 15 nov. 2008, rivela di avere in preparazione un nuovo lavoro.

"Il Passo Silenzioso della Neve" da San Remo 2002, brano rivelazione.

"Senza Origine"... mi sembra che sia dall'anfiteatro greco di Taormina

Alcuni video dell'estate 2008, probabilmente le più recenti apparizioni di cui sia rimasta traccia in rete per ora...

Ciao ciao Valentina.

Diversity at Google

Google promotes diversity because from different experiences and distinct point of view can arise good idea: diversity is creativity's cradle.

To celebrate the Transgender Remembrance Day Google has posted an interesting insight on how diversity can be an asset:

"November 20th marks Transgender Remembrance Day, which takes on a special significance in a world awakening to the need for unity among all people. In observing this day, the Gayglers — the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) group within Google — extend their wholehearted support to the LGBT community at large, as we reflect on the senseless violence perpetrated against transgender people around the world."

Really cool! Who knows which kind of applications will first take advantage of such groundbreaking interaction paradigms?!

Should this woman be allowed to govern?!

It is absolutely funny, though quite scary in some sense... Congrats to the guys on Montreal Radio. Gosh, it would be great if something like that happened here in Italy right before the last elections we've had... what could have happened?! :P

Cheers.
