Bolsón Digital is a personal place-holder on cyberspace. Still in the ‘boxes’ are media albums, a section on current projects, a portfolio of artifacts past and present, a section on electronic & computer music, some philosophical and scientific bubbling, and pervasive throughout ‘geek stuff’.
The person?
Angelo D. Corbo, argentine by birth, in Florida by choice.
Most days I’m modeling data designs, engineering databases from logical models, and helping my boss manage enterprise meta-data in a state government agency; most nights and weekends I try to have multimedia fun with electronic devices, hacking Mac OS X desktops and servers, and playing with and learning from my two daughters.
I listen to music that moves me on various levels. From experimental electronic music to Jazz Piano to symphonic masterpieces to Gregorian Chant to Rock to Tango. Among my favorites are Beethoven, Ginastera, Miles Davis, Phillip Glass, Piazzolla, Steve Reich, John Cage, Chick Corea, Coldplay, U2, ELP, Peter Gabriel, Yes, Soda Stereo, Keith Jarrett, Spinetta, Charly García, Puccini, and many many others.
For years I pushed keys and entertained people at weddings and parties in the Boston area. Since all good things always come to an end, I enrolled at UM to study electronic and computer music composition and to go to the beach as much as I could.
While at it, I got hooked on data, information, and knowledge management. I signed up for courses in C, Java, Cold Fusion, and PL/SQL, and after a couple of years of coursework, I graduated with a Master’s of Science in Computer Information Systems, with a concentration in database management.
Slowly, I moved into the dark side, a.k.a. the black-hole of technology spending. A decade later, it still feels as having turned 42 26. My European shoe-size is still 41.5 , and I learned to say in French:
“Nous vivions dans un monde merveilleux, mais cet idiot l’a detruit.”
which would loosely translate into:
“What a f…… beautiful World We live in, but that mediocre idiot from Texas had to screW it up”
Nowdays, most weekends I’m mountain biking or sun bathing on the Gulf coast, cooking churrascos a la parrilla in my backyard, drinking Malbec wine, listening to art music, and otherwise recharging batteries, playing games, watching movies, or coding.
From an early age, it appeared I was destined for great things in life; however, sometimes even destiny is mistaken. Instead, every morning, I refil myself with orange juice and black coffee, I plug in my iPod, and drive away through suburbia onto the other side of town, and promote and protect the health and safety of all people in Florida through the delivery of quality public health services and the promotion of health care standards enabled by the strategic implementation of bleeding-edge Information Technologies work.
