Lodevole iniziativa: IO VALGO

Oggi ho letto un articolo di Giuseppe Cubasia su Punto Informatico, e questo è il link al suo blog: secondo me vale la pena seguire la faccenda, partecipare attivamente, e pubblicizzare la cosa.
Forza!!

Ma questo sono io?

Confessione: stasera avevo bisogno di una piccola iniezione di autostima (ogni tanto capita, che ci vuoi fare!).
Così, ho ripresto questa “descrizione”, e mi sono chiesto: ma questo sono io?
Risposta: YUP!

(ma poi non ho mai capito: m/f che vor dì ?)
