I am a programmer since the early 80’s in many platforms and programming languages. I’m an wannabe scientist, an experienced software engineer and a general hacker (in the original sense) as a way of life.
Innovation needs responsibility. Engineering needs creativity. Each software is a unique life form.
My main interests are algorithms, neuroscience, distributed and mobile computing, dynamic systems, complexity and chaos, game theory, drums and flying.
Here’s my FOAF file.

Artur C. Clarke Laws of Life
1st law:
When a scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right.
When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2nd Law:
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3rd Law:
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
