In some areas we have deep respect for the techies. I saw that at the hospital. It's deserved resepect. What these people do is rocket science, beyone the comprehension of people who don't have deep and specialized training, and talent and perseverence. When the time comes we put our lives in their hands. While in the hospital, contemplating the piece I will certainly write at some point, reluctantly I came to the conclusion that the lead of the story would have to be this: They saved my life. So are techies worth it? Hey, if they can save your life, yes, certainly. [Scripting News]

Synchronicity

Just yesterday I wrote on my Italian blog about Pietro Amante (article in Italian, sorry, if you want you can try this funny babelfish translation). Pietro is the webmaster for the Pharmacia Italia web site, he's a professional journalist and he's a surgeon. I don't mean trained as a surgeon but a real surgeon who works as a volunteer in an hospital in Milan, often for whole nights before drinking a coffee and going back to the office to take care of a huge web site. Between one post and the other, he saves lifes!.

So, since he has so much free time between managing the site and saving lifes, my next mission is to get him to open a weblog .
