Damn it! [I'm here.... do you hear me???]

8 Comments

Damn it! I'm pretty sure I was the first in Italy to write about the Asus EEE PC, back on 6. November 2007, a laptop that I'd love.[1]

Now the italian bloggers woke up and they're writing about that piece of hardware... and...

NOBODY LINKS ME!!!! :/

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, MAN??? :)

They're linking other bloggers that wrote about the EEE PC two months later.

And you tell me about "blogger's democracy" ??? :)

Mantellini did the same.

[1] As you can see on this search on google [keyword: "asus eee"; sorted by date; last page of results], no one wrote about the EEE PC before me, in italian. Even if you want to consider all the results in any language, the first is on 27 October 2007 and is kinda asian, the second (always on 27 Oct 2007) is from notebookreview.com.

PS it's ironic, you know? Well, it's not.

UPDATE 12 Jan 2008: OMG! Thanks to my tears :), Andrea Beggi (aka "da italian blogger") recognized me as the first italian blogger that wrote about the shiny new Asus toy. And I blog it! linked my blog! How can I insert AdWords?! :)

I'm Legend

Yesterday I saw this great movie with Will Smith.
The story starts in 2009 when a terrible disease will kill 90% of the world pupulation. Will Smith, as you could imagine! :), belongs to the 10% along with other nice friends of him: I don't want to write any spoiler so you'll see!
Great movie, really: suggested!

MP3 Overload [keep your music library organized]

2 Comments

Since the beginning of P2P Era, I've to fight daily with the overload. As if the RSS overload isn't enough, another issue is related with music files, mp3s.

My personal strategy, that I just began a couple of months ago, is to separate music files between "Library" and "Favorites".

Trust me (said the voting machine)

0 Comments

Great article by the New York Times about voting machines: ten pages long (my english made me need hours to read it through :/ ) and great analyses about flaws, risks and vicious circles. Conclusions? No voting systems is flawless, but there are few that bring way too many risks. Strongly suggested.
