Papers I find interesting---mostly, but not solely, in Process Algebra---, and some fun stuff in Mathematics and Computer Science at large and on general issues related to research, teaching and academic life.

It is not fun at all, it is tragic, because it is true (well beyond the (intended) joke).
Believe me, I know what you mean.One of the members of my extended family (PhD in algebraic topology and a good track record in research and teaching) left academia after a series of temporary teaching positions with very heavy teaching loads.
Eventually, he moved to a much better paid job for a top computer science firm. (You can probably guess which one.) So his story has had a happy end, even though not mathematically speaking.

I can see my future on a computer science firm :/
