2010 MotoGP and World SBK Season Calendars

Behind the longest and worst-sounding (and possibly wrong) post title ever there is my coming back on this blog, after more than 4 months.

Well, I don't really know if copying and pasting a few links count as 'blogging', but at least I hope my work can be useful for someone.

Here below the links to the calendars for the 2010 MotoGP and World SBK seasons, in xml, ics and html format.

Enjoy.

Spoiler: the first race is Phillip Island, Australia, for the SBK! :)
and yes, no calendar this time for the Formula 1 ! :(

If you are afraid of the Big Brother, now you have yet another reason: traffic live on Google Earth using surveillance cameras

del battesimo e della circoncisione

Cena dal Pano ieri. Abbiamo toccato livelli culturali mai immaginabili.

Ad un certo punto si parla di circoncisione; ci si sposta sul tema religioso. Pippo se ne esce con un "alla fine è un po' come il battesimo... è una violenza che comunque il bambino subisce senza poter realmente decidere"

E io: "beh, magari proprio uguale no. Da una parte ti tagliano un pezzo di cazzo e dall'altro ti bagnano la testa. vedi te".

Ah, beh.

May 25th

May 25th is a great day because (in the right order)

  1. It's my birthday
  2. It's the Towel Day
  3. It's the Geek Pride Day (aka Nerd Pride Day)
  4. in the US it's the National Francesco Appreciation Day (no offense here... only one person can understand it) ;)

And yes, I'm boasting about that.  :P

Pano created a video of our journey with a 1969 Fiat 500, from Rome to Florence via the old Via Cassia.

catching up

I have been busy lately but, as usual, I keep "starring" items in google reader.

TPB: You already know how the trial against the Pirate Bay ended: guilty. They're already counterattacking on court (see here) but at the same time they found a smart way to pay the fine, if it will be necessary. The Pirate Bay founder proposes to pay his fine with tiny, expensive-to-receive payments.

MPAA and its suggestion to prefer CAM rather than DVDRIP :) : the idiots at MPAA suggest us how to "RIP" a DVD... videotaping a monitor! oh, poor idiots... Video below.
