Life, 1972
Magazine was huge, 33,5 x 26,5 cm.
And the pictures., stunning.
No iPad "Life" application can give back that feeling (...until a larger iPad is produced, at least..)

The (almost) flying sapin de Noël
Yesterday, after the daily workout, Anto called over the phone and "RUSH!! RUSH!! the christmas tres is "flying away" -- it is self-destroying" . With a sort of british calm, I reached home to find the tree laying on our window, not really destroyed.
Anyway the wind was really strong.
Anto's suggestion: take the tree indoor -- hardly a solution in my view, the tree (having been bought for the larger Como's home) would have taken all the space of our living room.
So I decided the right solution was to block it with some wires (four of them in different positions):
After all, the wind could not "really" make it fly away.
Or could it ?
Here's the scene down here, rue Andrioli with Promenade des Anglais at 5.45 am this morning:
Tree satellite dishes (antenna) did not resist the wind and falled down! Many other structures that I saw this morning were also laying in pieces on the ground.
Maybe next time Anto calls I'll rush a little bit more.

meno ventisette percento.
-27%.
La banca giapponese Nomura ha fatto uno studio, per calcolare quanto varrebbero - relativamente all'Euro - le singole valute in caso di rottura dell'euro.
Unica a valere di più'...guarda caso...il Deutsche Mark .
Il valore di riferimento e' 1,34 (non ho trovato spiegazione del perché'). NDR: Capito, grazie ad un hint dell'Anto: 1,34 e' circa il cambio ad oggi EURUSD)
Duneue la lira varrebbe 0,97 (pari ad una perdita di potere di acquisto del 27.3%), mentre il franco francese 1,21 (pari ad una perdita del 9.4%

A Rolling Blog for a post-VOX era?
It used to be on Vox.
The interesting stuff, that is. The community, Antonella. The photo archive of our digital life. The music. The videos.
SixApart's VOX platform [was good].
Interestling, [this is good] (in french [j'aime]) was invented much earlier than the "like" and "+1" buttons.
When it closed down, sept 30 2010, we (sort of) all moved to type pad. Not so feature-rich, but the "community was there".
For a few months.
Than we all moved everywhere, so now our "content" is spread all over the place, fb, twit pic, flickr, Google+, you name it (if you can).
Which means -- if now I want to go back in time in my life, I can do it very easily for the period 2007-2010 (by looking at the "imported-into-typepad" vox blogs. But after that...not really.
This is my last post on type pad. I did not write anything else after that, and it has no comments.
Very little incentive in going on blogging.
A Rolling Blog for a post-VOX era?
Very little incentive in going on blogging.
But still, I feel a need to keep a rolling, simple, sequential, page-able archive of images and thoughts.
Is Tumblr the right platform? Is this rising star, quick and elegant --- but still, another new one - a solution ?
I don't know. I'll give it a try, while keeping a parallel post to type pad: innice.tumblr.com
Let's' see.

He had two more years. (originally posted jan 24.2009)
Assurdamente simile a quello di oggi a guardare bene (soprattutto per chi a quei tempi aveva a che fare con "C:")
Venticinque anni fa Steve era quello che vediamo qui sopra, e non quello di oggi, in lotta con il suo male.
Gli auguri li faro' dunque a Jobs, con un piccolo elenco dei suoi prodotti per i quali ho speso i mie soldi, e sono stati veramente tanti...
"please insert system disk 1" "Please insert Word Disk 1" "Please insert System Disk 2" "Please Insert Word Disk 1" "Please Insert System & Printer Disk 1" "Please Insert Word Disk 1".
Il successivo lo avevo regalato a Renato, pensando potesse imparare ad usare Internet: ma allora c'erano i modem analogici, niente ADSL, ed era troppo complicato (Netscape 1.0, pre-explorer!) :
Questo e' passato all'Anto....
...e questo e' l'ultimo, l'erede di "polo", ultimo per ora s'intende:
Auguri Steve, get well soon...
