Finally I found my domain name

image domain

After years of searching, I finally did it—I have my own last name as a domain name. It's somewhat surprising because my last name, Cornello, is not very common in the world. However, I do have family, and they already had the .nl extension for a construction business, and .com has been taken for a while.

Recently, I came across an opportunity for a .eu extension, and I seized it. I wanted to create a website to present myself to the rest of the world. Additionally, I have opinions, and I enjoy sharing them with others. It serves as a kind of timeline for me.

Fireworks in the Netherlands

january 7, 2024 - blog

In the Netherlands, there is a tradition of setting off fireworks en masse on New Year's Eve. Each year, from December 28th to December 31st, it is permitted for individuals aged 18 and older to purchase fireworks from specially designated stores.

As a child, I too was fascinated by fireworks; there was something magical about doing something that wasn't allowed, although it was permitted on December 31st from 10:00 in the morning until 2:00 at night. However, we started a week earlier; we engaged in a significant trade of illegal fireworks, a practice that continues to this day.

Questions

january 2, 2024 - Philosophy

"Where do we come from?, where are we going? Who created the world?,
and what came before it? What is our purpose here? Is there life elsewhere?

In essence, there are two kinds of people: those who believe in the theory of evolution and those who believe in God. Those who follow a belief system place their faith in a God who created the world.

Those who believe in the theory of evolution follow a more scientific and rational path. Now, I'm not a scientist, but it seems to me that all the pieces of the puzzle aren't fully in place in this area. It might explain, to some extent, our origin as Homo sapiens but not necessarily how the rest of the world operates.
