Geek’s run in Berlin (or just a beer after run)

As you know I’ll be in Berlin Thursday and Friday for JUDCon talinkg about wise.
I’d like to use this opportunity to meet some of you and having great talks about Wise, SibillaTest (aka TestedBy), or any other geek’s argument…you know what non-geek calls crazy.
Where and when ca you find me? Well check on tripit when I’ll arrive and where I’ll stay.
I’ll be of course at JUDCon’s HackFest, but I’m more than open to plan other talks over a German beer.
Would you have a run with me? I’ll run in Berlin for sure Friday and maybe also Thursday in the morning (if I find friends running with me, I’ll run for sure Thursday too).
I have in mind more or less 10km of easy running (1h or so) to take a look to the city, since I”ve never stayed in Berlin and it seems I’ll not have more spare time to take a look around. More precisely I’d like to take this run.
Write me if you want to join me both for a run or a beer, we can agree meeting point and time. For German people: write me also if you see something wrong in the planned run…something like “too more traffic here”…or “too more gangsters there!!” :D

See you in Berlin

Another passion: running (post celebrating my first 1000km)

Hi,

I’ve written here very rarely of other passions I have apart technology, java and distributed system. I’ve written just one time I think about my passion for Wine and Food (well I’m italian men!).

I’ve never written here about my passion for sports and the recent maniacal passion for running (just something on twitter). But this morning I’ve reached an important goal I can’t resist to share with a rapid blog post: 1000, one thousand! kilometers. When just 9 months ago I’ve started my runner’s career 1000 km seemed to me a goal too far and to hard to get. Today I’m running something like 60/65 km per week and 1000kms isn’t a goal, but a starting point.

I know you can’t understand me and I seem completely mad to you. It was exactly what I thought about runners 10 months ago :) , but I can assure you I’m not mad, and running I’m feeling much much better that months ago both with my body and with my mind. Running could be considered meditation on movement. Trust me it is!

I run everywhere I am, so I’ll run in Berlin at early morning before next JUDCon…would you join me? We could have a nice geek talk during our run!

I look forward for this geek run (maybe I’ll make a dedicated post about this geek run…but feel free to contact me immediately if you are interested)

Have fun running and hacking!

another passion: wines and food

Probably not all my readers know that I’ve another big passion
than technology and development: food and wines tasting.
I’m a good chef (well, some friends said I’m a GREAT chef…but you know they are friends…and my guests when they have said that) and a quite expert sommelier.

Don’t worry I’m not transforming this blog in a food blog full of recipes and tastes. Just a single post to inform my readers who share passion for wines with me that I’m compiling a simple sheet with my wine tastes, sharing it with a friend of mine (Marek Goldmann) and readable by any person on the internet

Have fun and contact me for any question about my taste…it’s a pleasure for me to spend some minutes sharing my passion. Of course other passionates who would share their tastes are more than welcome. Just let us know.
