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.
