Auguri e ringraziamenti

Qusto vuole essere un post semplice semplice per augurare a tutti delle feste serene.
Ci sono dei momenti in cui è "necessario" far baldoria e scatenarsi. Ma ci sono anche momenti in cui si preferisce un po' di tranquillità, di pace, di stare con sè stessi...
Questo, per me, è uno di questi momenti. Perciò nessuna grande festa, nessun clamore, nessun grande cenone con amici e parenti tutti.
Un po' di serenità è quello che più desidero ora :)


A special "THANK YOU" to my best international friend Brennan and his friend Graham. They come to my place for a couple of days. They made my Xmas holidays :)

So amazing see a dear friend after two years.... and have the sensation that it's passed only two weeks since the last time we saw each other.

Thank you Brennan for the best ever (wish) card I received. You made me so happy...

All the best to everyone for 2009! And personally, I wish to myself that this will be the year of the turning-point.

What is the Story of Stuff? - From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

And to inform you that Iàm going to Rotterdam all weekend long :)

All the best!

Riflessione

Immagina un secchio con della terra sul fondo.
Lo prendi in mano, lo guardi e l'acqua è limpida.
Poi qualcuno ti scuote e il tuo secchio si riempie di fango.
Di chi è la colpa?
Di chi ti ha urtato o di chi ha messo la sabbia?

Youtube Live

Just finish to see the Youtube Live show...
Lot of nice people there and enjoyed these couple of hours, but now is REALLY time to go bed (4AM here!).

I look for the result of Brennan's contest (BTW, one of my regularly reader).

Ciao!!!!!!!!

Wintertime!

Maybe it's a bit difficult, but do you see those small white things in the picture?
Is it rain?!? NO!
It's SNOWING!!!!!!

And after a while...

The world is VERY little

It's amazing... Simply AMAZING!
Today I was attending a (very boring) training course at IMEC. We were in a dozen, more or less. Mostly chinese/Japanese/indians/... and two other guys "european style".
At the end of the meeting I heard them talking in italian... a nice surprise but not so difficult find italian people abroad.
Then we started to talk about where we come from and stuff like that....
Well, the guy come from Milan (and I discovered that we'll play poker together tonight), nothing in particular..
*BUT*
the girl... she just started her PhD (one week ago). The AMAZING thing is that she come from Udine!!!! My home town!!!
Actually from the other side of the town but that's still ok. It's a small town...
Even surprising she was born in the same year and in the same month of myself!!!!

A very nice coincidence :)

Mijn slaapkamer

E per finire la "camera", che fa anche da studio, sala da pranzo, e tante altre cose....

Mijn badkamer

Let's continue the tour around my studio.
Today is the time for the bathroom, with the oh-so-nice basket for the laundry :)

Smakelijk!

Ok, last time you saw my kitchen, and some of you was wondering how it is possible "to cook nice Italian food!?!?"
And so once or twice I prepared the table like if I had a guest (if you prefer, you may think that the guest was myself).

ENJOY YOUR MEAL!
