Do you like Albazilla? yeah, ok, would you have liked even the first edition of it? A whole blue site with animated icons floating here and there… basically the layout and the contents are completely changed since that far august 2000 when I started this adventure on the web.
But it wasn’t easy, to learn how […]

Start Training…

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Party, museum, shop, friend to visit, city to discover: how do I get there? Simple! Using Mappy, ViaMichelin, and other similar services. Google Maps, among these, it’s one of the most powerful… although it looks a bit naif. For instance: are you a good swimmer? well, it seems like you need to be, if you […]

Cafe’ du Midi

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

I still remember when I skated there the first time: it looked so far away and lost in between the ‘polders’… Instead yesterday night we went there for dinner, and actually I found out that the “Cafe’ du Midi” is just few mins by bike from our place (although we didn’t get there by bike, […]

Flower Power

Friday, April 20th, 2007

…and even if it took me a bit, here’s the sequel: what we did the day after Tom’s birthday? But we went looking for flowers, of course!
Since here is the period of blooming, everybody enjoys a weekend biking through the tulip fields in around Lisse (close to Leiden). Well, we had a full day taking […]

And the good season started again! in every sense
Thanks to the good weather, saturday night we celebrated the birthday of Tom, one of the new Hippo members in typical Hippo style: da bbq!
Sponsored by Belgian beer, we all enjoyed stuffing our bellys with grilled food and chocolate cakes… ahhh, and you can take […]

I’m overqualified…

Friday, April 6th, 2007

…and of course in Italy there’s no way to find a job. But, here is why I’m not looking for a job in the US: Circuit City just cut 3400 most payed employees all over the country (with the typical American ’same day notice’), keeping the less payed. So, all the seniors and more performing […]

Spam, Eggs, Bacon and Spam

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

I have to admit, I’ve got to Monty Phyton quite late, and although I’m still not used to the British Humor (I will, in few months) some sketchies are really sketchy! So, after “The quest for the holy grail”, I finally stumbled across this:

Now, google is my friend, and wikipedia is my uncle, so […]

Free Music

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

Which is different from Music For Free… but anyway, from May on iTunes, the entire EMI catalog will be sold without DRM. This means you can download music to be played on every device (not only ipod) and in as many devices as you want. Cool! the other majors should follow the example… BUT! the […]
