- The Four Pillars of the Ethical Company
Some deeply inspiring and wise words I found in the mystical Guitar Craft’s website, which is not a religious sect but one of the creations of unconventional 60’s guitar hero Robert Fripp (best know for his work with King Crimson).

- Learning iPhone development while sitting on your couch
I guess this is just part of the huge e-learning revolution happening in our century.. what I’m referring to is that through ITunesU – a sort of university-centered section of iTunes that delivers podcasts/videocasts – you can learn an incredible amount of stuff from the top-teachers in the world.

- Michael Nyman’s concert
… I went to the BBC proms last night, to see Michael Nyman‘s performance. It’s been a delightful hour, such inspiring and intriguing melodies, really worth it!

Basically the issue is that every time you link up your iPhone for syncing contacts or songs the whole damn application library gets backed up automatically. Which obviously takes longer and […]
- Freedom of Press: is that asking too much?
An interesting study recently issued by the Freedom House (a non profit organization inspired by the ideals of democracy and freedom) positions Italy and another couple of unlucky countries at the bottom of the ladder. Well, kind of – we could say half-way up the ladder – but still quite alarmingly. New Study: Global Press […]
- Spread the word: the italian circus goes to the EU
I think I’ll start using this mostly technical blog to help in spreading the word about the incredible political situation in italy. What I’m talking about? You can probably catch up on the latest from corrupted Italy by reading Beppe Grillo’s blog….. it’s good for a laugh too, if you dont feel like talking about […]
