Spreading too thin?
Monday, September 29, 2008
Yet another consideration about the (personal) use of the blog medium. I was chatting yesterday with Gian about his perception that most bloggers in our entourage stopped or heavily reduced their blogging habit. Me first. First response I gave was that yest, I reduced blogging while increasing participation in other social media, mainly twitter, but [...]
Leaving a mark
Tuesday, July 15, 2008
I don’t know if it’s because it was Bastille day or just because for two days in a row we had mostly sun, but today it felt different, so I made a small resolution on writing down a note about it, and here I am in the heart of the night marking this last thing [...]
walking vs. driving
Sunday, June 22, 2008
Today I read on WorldChanging this post about the debacle concerning the climate impacts of walking vs. driving. John Tierney writes: If you walk 1.5 miles, Mr. Goodall calculates, and replace those calories by drinking about a cup of milk, the greenhouse emissions connected with that milk (like methane from the dairy farm and carbon [...]
Like a Zippo
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Yesterday while reading my daily techmeme I saw this headline: Beautiful to use: Nokia unveils three new handsets that merge modern functionality with classic and sophisticated looks The first thing I thought was “wow! Are they really releasing the Nokia Remade?” Actually no, the new Nokias are just pretty neat handhelds, but nothing along the [...]
Filo, the line that joins your dots
Monday, April 28, 2008
About one week ago I wrote a post with a similar title on my Italian blog. It was to announce the “beta” of Filo, a small service (well, more like a weekend project) that I developed a while ago, and that turned out to be a good testbed for experimenting a bit with design ideas [...]
Earth Day, focus on CO2
Wednesday, April 23, 2008
In case you didn’t notice, yesterday was Earth Day. I’m not a big fan of whatever-days, but there’ve been a couple of interesting events in the last 24 hours that stimulated my interest. First, Dopplr added a carbon calculator service. Discussing it last night with MattB, I mentioned the fact that for the first time [...]
Milan Burst
Wednesday, April 16, 2008
This week I’m circling on the Milan orbit. My headquarters until friday will be the newly opened and very white Cowo, a coworking space in the forever up and coming Lambrate area. Monday actually started exploring the neighbourhood and ended up with an introductory coffee for Alberto to the place. Milan these days is bursting [...]
Coffee Warming Warning
Friday, April 11, 2008
Here at Headshift we love being green. We read our McDonough, some of us cycle a lot, we even have a green (and orange, ok) logo! And we always, always shut down unused appliances, like the coffee machine. Now, in order for a coffee machine to work it needs to warm up. It takes an [...]
Why procrastinating is bad
Thursday, April 10, 2008
A week or so ago, I noticed Emily Chang twittering about the rebirth of Game Never Ending. For those of you who wonder, gne was the massive multiplayer game from which, in a sense, Flickr then evolved. Excited by the chance to play it again, I dashed at the site, and had a nice (if [...]
