One thing to see during summer in Barcelona is the streets’ decoration of the Gracia’s festivals. I spent the Saturday morning walking around this neighborhood, being annoyed by the subtle rain. As previous years, the inhabitants of the streets have created an imaginative world, using only old plastic bottles and other recycled stuff as the… Read More »
One day, during my holidays, I decided to go to the beach. It was a weird decision, because I don’t really like the beach. Too many people, too much sticky sand, too much sun. In the old days I preferred enjoying the beach in the late evening, when everybody is leaving. Also, I got used… Read More »
I can never miss the “Nit de l’Albà” at Elche’s festivals. Every year I promise myself to come again. It’s worth it! Last year I had an idea: “next year I’ll record some videos to show it to everybody”. Last year I wrote a long description about the fireworks. This year I can offer you… Read More »
Do you know what a chain of coincidences is? Actually you are alive just by a chain of coincidences: somehow your parents met, fell in love, and you were born. Coincidence over coincidence. You are reading this because of a chain of coincidences, in which you are probably not the main character: for example, maybe… Read More »

There are a lot of subjects in NLP, but… Read More »
Doing some Sunday morning random surf on the net, I found somebody trying to take pictures of streets named after mathematicians in Paris. I started wondering how many streets could I find here in Barcelona with the same subject… No Gauss, Laplace, Euler or Pointcaré… just Archimedes, Pythagoras and some more greek friends. Obviously, with… Read More »
Some months ago, I posted a nice problem: I walked 10 Km to the South, then I turned left, walking straight 10 Km to the East, and then I turned again, going 10 Km to the North, directly arriving to my home. Then I opened a window, and I saw a bear in the outside.… Read More »
I’m among kyus (pupils) most of the time, but sometimes I’m among dans (masters). Playing with kyus is like chatting, you don’t need to be really concentrated. But if you play with a dan, you shouldn’t loose your concentration, never. Of course, this makes the situation far more interesting. You really fight! When you are… Read More »
