Last weekend a took a break for visiting friends in London.
It has been a very relaxing journey, i’m becoming less excited in city events in general and looking for more serendipity, talks, meetings, coffee and tea while i try to relax my mind and listen to what’s inside.
It’s not such a mystical thing, but the feeling of "living on the top of my head", where only usual associations driven by external stimuli happen , is very strong these times.
I stayed at Padideh’s and Rudi’s beautiful flat in Holborn, went out for short trips (beautiful one to the London Silver Vaults), shops, university, books.. then i met my old friend Riccardo who’s living in the city for 6 months and plans a some-years stay. We had geeky talks, but also personal ones, Rick is one of my best
mirrored minds, i like talking with him. Also had the chance to see Meriel, who’s doing really well in London.
Keyspots: the video "What the bleep do we know", a US documentary on quantum physics effects on daily life, the only hand-made video about Mark Lombardi that Rudi managed to get from his gallery, and Babbage’s difference and analytical engine in the Science Museum.

Next week i will be in New York for the oral presentation of my paper at Vision for HCI Workshop. First time in the US ever!
