Welcome to my home page. I was born in the ancient Greek city of Siracusa, in Italy; I lived many years in Catania, under the Etna volcan (NO, I'm not from catania, I'm from Siracusa, I just lived in catania some years). Now I live in the beautiful little town of Palazzolo Acreide.

My girlfriend is Giulia; she paints and makes very beautiful things; here's her homepage.

I'm the founder of Radio Cybernet (the first italian streaming-only internet radio), the FreakNet MediaLab in Catania (first free public Unix lab where people can have a shell account and use internet, also the first hacklab in italy), and the Poetry HackLab in Palazzolo Acreide, where actually I live.

I was also a filmmaker and a musician. I made some short and long films many years ago, and also I made very weird and strange music. If you are *REALLY* interested in listening my music, write me, and maybe I can give you a link to my music site. :)

I recently wrote a book about Haiku, Koan, Zen stories and other things. You can find more about it here.

And, I created the first wooden laptop in the world: a real wooden laptop, not a covered one! :)
Here is my pgp/gpg public key, as you can find in any keyserver. You can read more about me in my curriculum vitae here, in italian language, updated (curriculum in italiano, aggiornato), or in english language, not updated.

Research

I'm actually involved in Wireless Technologies, Ham Radio, Retrocomputing and other stuff with the FreakNet MediaLab; but the work I like to do is to make wooden computers.
I'm also a writer, and I wrote articles for some italian magazines and books.

If you are interested in something technical I wrote, I'm collecting my stuff on my page at the dyne.org wiki; check it out (especially if you are searching for my Ubuntu Password and Shit Purification Page ;).
