What we can do, or what we have done to get this world a little better!

LOVEFiLM customer reviews? There are better way of reviewing!

We started testing LOVEFiLM, an easy way to rent DVD. After the first film, An Inconvenient Truth, I decided to “participate to the community” writing a short review. I feel this the right way of telling the other customer if in my opinion a film is good or bad.
Before sending my review I was interested [...]

An Inconvenient Truth

Today we received our first DVD from lovefilm.com: an Inconvenient Truth. I was interesting in it, and I have to admit that I loved this documentary. It is a straightforward view of the Global Warming.
There are different voices shouting their own truth, and in the end everyone of us has to decide which voice to [...]

That’s why I don’t read paper magazines any longer!

Today I was eating my lunch, and having only a copy of WIRED magazine near, I start reading it, as I usually read the RSS feeds from their server.
Page 1 to 8: Adverts, then the Table of Contents (with some more ADS in the middle) and then pages and pages of… adverts! Now, I understand [...]

La “Idiots’ Guide” dell’Emigrante (IT - Parte 4 / Curriculum e come Vendersi)

Ci hai pensato tanto. Hai scelto la tua destinazione, hai visitato la citta’ senza voler fare il turista a tutti i cosi, per vederla da un altro punto di vista. Hai studiato la lingua, leggendola, scrivendola, ascoltandola e parlandola. Allora, qual’e’ il prossimo passo?

Quality of Contents: do not vomit your feelings!

Some days ago I read an interesting post on Webomatica. I’d like to show you one of the passage that hit me:
As J Leroy advises, don’t blog angry. Many a time I have written a really annoyed and sarcastic email, blog post, or comment, but just before hitting “publish,” I’ve realized I was just ranting [...]

The Idiots’ Guide to the Emigrants (EN - Part 3 / Language Issue)

After so many questions, one of the most important things, if you really want to become an Emigrant, is the preparation. Preparation to what? Well, to Many Many things! (sometimes too many things…). First of all the Language!
You will never become mother tongue in a week, a month or a year, but you have to [...]

Christmas email: another way of spreading spam!

In these days I am receiving a lot of email for Christmas. I like getting those mails, but the problem is that too many times a lot of email addresses are set into the To field or into the Cc field.
In this way everyone receiving the mail have the address of all the others, and [...]

La “Idiots’ Guide” dell’Emigrante (IT - Parte 2 / Prima di qualsiasi altra cosa)

Bentornati alla “Idiots’ Guide” dell’Emigrante. In questo secondo “capitolo” cercheremo di valutare tutte quelle cose che devono essere pensate prima di qualsiasi altra cosa. Pensieri, quindi, perche’ e’ necessario pensare molto prima di decidere di rivoluzionare la propria vita.
La prima cosa da capire e’ estremamente semplice ed estremamente complessa al tempo stesso: volete veramente andarvene [...]
