-Met my old buddy Ties on Jabber and he pointed me at a few nice photos from his Flickr

-=== Fri, 31st October - Critical Mass ===
-
-{{CriticalMass.jpg | The Boston Critical Mass (stock photo)}}
-
-A few friends from 1CC invited me to this subversive event called the
-[[http://bostoncriticalmass.org/|Critical Mass]].  I used the complimentary Acetarium bicycle.
-
-While our group of 200+ bikes was riding on a roadway, we went into a road block.  They knocked
-down a couple of bikers and tried to stop others.  I also ran into a young cop who had the bad
-idea of walking to the middle of the road.
-
-It was a lot of fun :-)

-=== Tue, 28th October - Daneel and Giskard ==
-
-{{Daneel.jpg|Daneel, my faithful Apple iBook}}
-
-My old PowerPC iBook served me well for over 5 years, accompanied me around the
-world twice or so, carrying three Linux distros on the same hard drive.  Not to
-mention all the stickers, which conferred it great hacker value.  One month ago,
-the integrated ATI GPU broke beyond any possibility of repair.
-
-Such a great loss had to be compensated with something at least half as cool.
-I chose a lightweight Lenovo Thinkpad X200s, with a LED backlit 12" display, a
-low-voltage U9300 processor and **no** stupid CD reader or writer.
-
-Today my package was delivered home and I installed Ubuntu 8.10 Interpid, just
-one day before the official release.

-
-{{http://beagleboard.org/static/images/beagle-home-promo-left-2008-07-01.jpg | the awesome Beagle Board}}
-
-Today I gave a talk about porting Sugar to the [[http://www.digikey.com/beagleboard|Beagle Board]],
-a nice development system for Texas Instrument's OMAP3530 processor.
-
-Slides here: [[http://www.codewiz.org/pub/olpc/slides/SugarBeagle.odp]]

-Details of the talk here: [[https://www.cmpevents.com/ESCe08/a.asp?option=G&V=3&id=625476]]
-
-=== Tue, 21st October - Back to Boston ===
-
-{{BostonSkyline.jpg|Cambdrige (left shore) and Boston (right shore) - stock photo}}
-
-I have greatly missed this place ever since I had to leave earlier this year.  My visa
-is still a temporary B-1, which means I'll have to leave within 3 months.  During this
-time, I'm planning to give a talk, finally nail down the SugarLabs server infrastructure
-and meet with the OLPC folks to discuss common goals.
-
-I'll be staying at the [[http://www.acetarium.com/ | Acetarium]], the most exclusive
-hacker accomodation in Cambridge.
-
-=== Fri, 10th October - ENEA research center ===
-
-Me and my uber-geeky Italian friends went to visit the ENEA Research Center on the Brasimone
-lake in Emilia Romagna.
-
- [[http://www.brasimone.enea.it/]]
-
-{{Pictures/vacation/brasimone_2008/P1010025.JPG|A researcher showing us the test fusion reactors|maxwidth=640}}
-
-The center is located inside a dismissed nuclear plant, quite a suggestive setting for a lab researching
-fourth-generation fission reactors and even nuclear fusion for the [[http://www.iter.org/ | ITER]]
-international effort.

+
+=== Negligent ===
+
+I've neglected to updare this blog for a few months.  Several things happened, including:
+
+ * 2009 Jan: Visited the [[Pictures/vacation/EastCoast2008|East Coast]] with Silvia
+ * 2009 Jan: Attended the [[Pictures/conf/XOCamp2009|XO Camp 2]]
+ * 2009 Feb: Attended the [[Pictures/conf/Fosdem2009|Fosdem 2009]] with a few friends from Italy and SugarLabs colleagues
+ * 2009 Feb: Visited [[Pictures/vacation/brussels_riga_stokholm_2009/|Brussels, Riga and Stockholm]] with Tommaso
+ * 2009 Apr: Attended a meeting/miniconf in [[Pictures/conf/Bolzano2009|Bolzano]] with WalterBender
+
+I am currently back in Florence, trying to find a way back in the US.
+
+
+=== Tue, April 14th - Tokyo ===
+
+I couldn't resist grabbing a super-cheap round trip to japan, a place I've always wanted
+to visit.  By "always", I mean: since when I was in kindergarten, watching great series
+like [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_Jeeg|SteelJeeg]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazinger_Z|MazingerZ]] on TV.
+My dad accepted to accompany me in this trip even though he wasn't particularly fond of Japan. Until now, that is!
+
+The first day was simply amazing, but I'm way to tired to tell a lot about it.
+The [[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Tokyo/Tuesday_April_14|photos and videos]] hopefully document it appropriately.
+
+NOTE: if you can't watch the videos in the wiki, get a recent browser featuring HTML5 or send me a patch
