This article made me laugh and smile so many times. I hope you get to reward yourself with a beer shortly, Alberto, thanks always for writing another amazing piece! I loved all the references and it made me want to do more research about these great writers.
And you're definitely right about the reward system. It can be a great motivator! I've made a little bet with myself that if I can write 13 articles between August and October, I'll finally trade-in my old laptop for a new one - right now, I have 9 more to go. :)
