I like listening to the radio, and as I work all day on a computer I sometimes listen to Internet broadcasting radios. More another time on my favourite ones… the interesting thing is that I get exposed to music I wouldn’t hear in my country.
From time to time something really interesting comes by, and that’s how I discovered Anna Ternheim. Just got hypnotised by two of her songs…
Lovers Dreams
and Today Is A Good Day
An Italian friend of mine just “discovered” the Pirates of Caribbean movie series, and that reminded me of the wonderful The Secret of Monkey Island saga… I loved it !
That in turn reminded me of something funny I stumbled upon a few months ago, the definitive guide on How to Talk Like a Pirate

Yesterday I attended the forumWeb.mobi event in Rome.
Let’s say that getting there has been difficult. Wednesday evening our train from Florence to Rome stopped just outside Florence’s main station, and wouldn’t move again. It took one hour and a half to bring us back into that very same station (we should have been in Rome by then!) and to be boarded on a second train. We made it to Rome just 135 minutes late. Thanks, Trenitalia (main Italian railway company).
In Rome we found an unannounced, totally wild strike involving all taxi drivers. Thanks, who-cares-about-the-rules taxi drivers, hope you get what you truly deserve (no, I’m not thinking about higher fares). Somehow we made it to our hotel just before midnight, and the following morning we managed to get to the meeting venue.
Back to the event, the topic being discussed was bringing “the Internet” to mobile devices. I have both professional and personal interests in this, and although I expected a bit more of technical discussion I enjoyed the event.
It has also been the occasion for meeting a few old friends that work in the field, like Luca and Andrea. Although they definitely moved on in their carriers I still call them “the WURFL guys” and here you can see them in a frantic “handset discovery” session
