Things to come

I’ve seen from the server log that some people are looking for updates (thanks!). Since the post I’m writing now is not over yet, let me give you just an idea of what I think I will add soon:

• Against identity — about the conflict between identity and culture, if you will. This will touch nationalism, sports fans, politics and religion.
• The World-Wide Web and the fun of programming — Since its writing I softened a little the language of the first post: there I attacked the web, in the first version quite violently; but before using strong adjectives I should explain my position. This forthcoming post to make my points straight.
• Catholicism and XML — about dogmas.
• Against religion — surprisingly, even if my points will not be terribly original by themselves, I think I have much to say about the topic in addition to what will be in “Against identity”. This is something important for me, which I have been planning to write for years: I want to keep a small-font paper copy of the article always available in my wallet so that I can exchange something for Jehovah’s Witnesses’ literature; my idea is like “I promise I’ll carefully read your publication if you promise you’ll carefully read mine”. I think I can trust their word, and they should trust me as well.

I’ve started writing “Against identity”.
