• 07.06.04 Database problems

  Sorry for all the inactivity, but I was experiencing database problems that didn’t let me login.
  My ISP FatCow finally solve it!
  I’m back!

• 17.01.04 To soccer fans

  

  Take a time to have a look on FIFA’s Laws of the Game. It is a nice illustrated PDF, with only 16 laws, simple and clear to everyone.

  Except, of course, for the most controversial law in soccer, the offside: there are at least 10 illustrations explaining when there is and when there is not offside.

  And for those who still have doubts… you only score when “the whole of the ball passes over the goal line”.

• 14.11.03 how they got here

  It is very funny to find out how people got on your site.
  I’m always checking the key words people use in their searches when they find my site.

  This week I got really funny examples, for both mitla.com and mitla-portugu�s.
  I decided it deserved a post.

• 05.11.03 r.i.p. minimalism

  I don’t know if minimalism is dead, but I think it is surely dying…

• 01.11.03 John Lemon

  Esselunga is probably the biggest supermarket chain in Italy, and surely the funniest.
  It’s Advertising Campaign, created by Armando Testa, wanted to emphasize that Esselunga’s products were “famous for its quality”.
  Fruits and vegetables sold there are so special that each one is a famous personality.
  John Lemon is a good example of one of them!

• 01.11.03 and back to broadband!

  finally we can say again: we’re connected!

• 27.08.03 Dial-up

  We are having a “broadband blackout” by our ISP mistake!
  They say it will take like a MONTH to restore it!!!
  Yes… we’re in Italy…

  By the way… now that we are connecting by dial-up I’m thinking how was possible to navigate in internet with 56kps…

• 03.08.03 Site upgrade.

  I’ve been away because I was changing blog system from Blogger to Movable Type.
  The never-ending improvements…

• 21.07.03 Day of Glory for brazilian F1

  Yesterday Rubinho Barichello was simply extraordinary at Silverstone!!! Compliments!!!
  Impossible not to remember our glory days with Ayrton Senna.

• 14.07.03 improved desktop by lorbus

  Check out the idea of an Improved Desktop that lorbus posted today!
  Pondering his post and my subsequent comment, it reminded me a lecture by the architect Marcus Novak that I saw in 1999 at Sao Paulo. He was presenting his concept of transArchitecture -”architecture beyond architecture, is an architecture of heretofore invisible scaffolds. It has a twofold character: within cyberspace is exists as liquid architecture that is transmitted across the global information networks; within physical space it exists as an invisible electronic double superimposed on our material world.”

  This is one of my favorites subjects! I’m open to discuss it…

• 12.07.03 Net disease reliever…

  For Google addicts who are also blog maniacs there is a new beta version of the Google Toolbar! Among it’s new features there’s a ‘popup blocker’ and ‘blog this’ button: you can instantly post to your blog indicating the page your visiting.

  

• 01.07.03 Online MAP

  Maporama lets you search online for addresses and/or itineraries from lots of cities!
  I looked for my adresses in Milano and Sao Paulo, and it worked just fine!
  Then, pushing it, I searched for an itinerary between both… well… I exaggerated! “impossible to determine”.

• 13.06.03 APOD

  

  Did you ever see this image? Well, it was from NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day, at 27 november 2000.
  It is a nice page to pass by often as “each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.”

• 01.06.03 motorino!

  We just got a new 4 stroke 100cc scooter (photos will be available soon…) and I wanted to know how its engine works. Lorenzo started explaining to me, and at the end we just got this nice interactive explanation from internet.
  If you want to learn how everything works simply go to the site How Stuff Works. Cars, computers, electronics, science, even people behavior! Just fascinating!

• 27.04.03 Wisdom

  The first step towards knowledge is to know that we are ignorant. (Richard Cecil)
  I totally agree.
