+==== All Night Long ====
+
+At 9PM, I'm still here and plan to stay as long as I can :-)
+
+<please link to the song "All Night Long" here>
+
+
+==== Buried In Work Already ====
+
+'''WARNING''': Technical AbraCadabra ahead!
+
+Today I met most of the team members and bothered a few of them,
+starting from DanWilliams who helped me debug a problem with a
+simple mesh networking scenario involving three laptops.
+
+Today I've also been assigned some work from ChrisBall, who also
+helped me out with many small things such as a dead battery,
+accessing the serial console, etc. I'm currently adding a
+KernelDebugger command to display the ModelSpecificRegister's
+of the AmdGeodeCpu.
+
+But it seems like I will also refer to RedHat's ChrisBlizzard
+to be assigned more work. We talked about optimizing the
+video driver for the AmdGeodeCpu, getting the resistive
+tablet to work and maybe adding "tapping" support to the
+capacitive touchpad.
+
+As you know, I like it even more when I'm allowed to ramble
+through a zillion different things like this!
+
+
+==== Sneaky Preview ====
+
+I'm writing this from within the OLPC headquarters. I came today for
+a second interview and to get a few tasks assigned to me :-)
+
+I have no time to be more specific. Will tell you the details a little later.

+==== Quite a Trip ====
+
+Today I'm leaving the safe and familiar BostonCity to boldly go where I've
+never been before.
+
+The current plan is to drive south to ProvidenceCity, BrdigeportCity, NewYorkCity,
+PhiladelphiaCity, BaltimoreCity and, finally, WashingtonCity. Maybe I'll even
+push myself down in FloridaState to go see the SpaceShuttle!
+
+I could use a GPS. I've seen a few TomTom's, but $299 seems way too
+much to me for a talking map. Maybe I'll buy a traditional map for
+$10.
+
+Ah, and I will sleep frugally, of course. Hostels and motels when I find
+them. So, over the next few days I'll be lucky if I have intermittent
+Internet access and, consequently, I won't probably be able to sync the
+BrainDump.
+
+
+=== Thu, 10th ===
+
+ '''Babbo''': Ma fino ad oggi con quali danari hai vissuto dato che sei partito con 10€ liquidi?
+
+ '''Bernie''': Ho prelevato i soldi dall'ATM... con il bancomat delle poste! E vedo dai movimenti
+ sul conto che hanno applicato un buon cambio e nessuna penale strana.
+
+==== Car Rental ====
+
+Today I finally rent a car. It's a SaturnIon, a brand and model I never heard
+of before.
+
+http://www.edmunds.com/media/seo/500/2006.saturn.ion.jpg
+
+I felt very comfortable driving all over Europe: Italy, Swiss, Spain, France,
+Germany, Belgium, and even Greece... But, for some reason, I was quite afraid
+of driving a car here in the States.
+
+Maybe it's because the road signs are somewhat different and there are a few
+subtly different rules, such as turning right on red, not parking in front
+of hydrants, etc. Most probably, it's because I've seen way too many movies
+where people get stopped by police and thrown in jail quite easily!
+
+Well, so far everything went very well. I mean, except for parking. Parking
+in downtown is easy if you're willing to pay $10-12 for a few hours.
+It's a big pain in the ass otherwise... The best way I've found so far
+is to park near a minor T station and then get the T to downtown :-(
+
+And, of course, the car has AutomaticTransmission, which I managed to learn
+quickly: the trouble comes when you switch the other way around ;-)
+
+Ok, today I've driven all around Boston just to get used to it. Tomorrow
+I'll probably dare getting on the highway to see around.
+
==== Business Visa? ====
Isn't it a good idea? Costs less than renting a car and is almost
as versatile.

Today I walked to their offices to give them my documents
and get the magnetic card. They said they will enable it
first thing tomorrow *if* the "insurance risk declaration"
shop names are simply dumb: '''Pay Less''', '''Save-A-Lot''',
'''Big Deal''', and so on.

Second, they try to subtle deceptions such as: "take 2 for $24.xx",
and, next to it: "take 3 for $21.xx", Which of course is
impossible. It's a trap! The little figures placed
Walking home alone in the night, I may encounter some ''bad'' guys:
