On the weekend, I went shopping for a pair of sneakers. I needed something comfortable for my summer travels, which provided a much needed arc support.

Yesterday, I spent my day at Startup Day 2010. There I got to meet new people, catch up with others, listen to interesting stories and practice my pitching skills. No, I didn&#8217;t participate the pitching competition. However when you meet somebody, generally they ask what do you do. This conversation goes something like this: &#8220;Hi, [...]]]></description>

He was telling me that now the University became a &#8220;Javaschool&#8221;: a university were programming is taught using Java. This lead me to think of a couple of common mistakes that students might commit, since they don&#8217;t understand what is happening [...]]]></description>

On the first week of march, I started to listen to a recompilation of Antonio Vivaldi&#8217;s work on Spotify. My curiosity for Vivaldi was triggered when Google changed their logo to commemorate his birth date (on the 4th of March).

Universities and corporations develop software with a &#8220;hangover&#8221; (of classical concepts) from the days of punch cards and mainframes.
