Title: 300 - Italian Trailer I’m waiting for the [en:Sin_City|next big movie] from the Graphic Novel of the [en:Frank_Miller_(comics)|SUPER FRANK MILLER]!

“Wandering” on Cine|blog I have found something special and unexpecteed: the cinematographic transposition of Silk. Silk is a novel by Italian writer [Alessandro Baricco](en:Alessandro Baricco). It was translated into English in 1997 by Guido Waldman. A new English translation by Ann Goldstein was published in 2006. Lelly has lent it to me two months ago: I have read it in few ours!!! A beautiful history of love and passion, written without written words: everything is a gesture, an intuition, a reference to something thinkable but not expressible. ...

The description from MoMA Store: This barrel-shaped desk clock has 12 sides, each with the name of two major cities. Altogether, the 24 cities represent the 24 Global Time Zones. To find the local time in another time zone, simply roll the clock so the city representing that time zone is on top. A great gift for business travelers and globetrotters. Author of this interesting gadget is Charlotte van der Waals, [en:Dutch] Industrial Designer. And, she seems to be very “clock addicted”, looking at another gallery of products from her: in particular, it seems that she loves to make “world universal clocks”. ...

Are you curious about “how to make icons for Mac”? I’m. And TUAW have something for someone interested in the same thing. A few weeks ago, Matthew Cone showed us how Macinstruct’s beautiful icons, courtesy of the talented Gary Gehiere, came to be (http://www.macinstruct.com/node/40). In that article, you were shown the beginning stages of icon design – how the meaning of an idea is distilled down to a few carefully placed pixels. The end result, of course, is seen here - on Macinstruct - in the icons scattered throughout the website. ...

In English: Great! Insanelly Great! Modern Art has new ways and means to express itself with no doubt. Probably, the [en:Computer] it’s the biggest change we has: most of all for the Architecture. But, in the third millennium, people that can leave us without words still exists: people capable to make a Work of Art… from a draw with crayon on a pavement. Julian Beever is great: it’s useless to define his Art and his inspiration… his fancy… his liking… his faculty of abstraction… To “define” his Art in the right way, the only way is to show you a lot of photos from his gallery. In Italiano: Grande! Veramente Grande! L’arte moderna ha indubbiamente nuovi mezzi e modi per esprimersi. Il computer è forse il più grande cambiamento che si è avuto: soprattutto per l’Architettura. Ma nel terzo millennio esistono ancora persone capace di lasciarci senza parole: capaci di rendere un “semplice” disegno fatto con gessetti sul marciapiede… un’Opera d’Arte Grandiosa!!! Julian Beever è un grande: non serve definire la sua opera ed il suo estro… e la sua fantasia… e il suo talento… e la sua capacità di astrazione… e… Per “definirne” bene l’arte, l’unica strada è mostrarvi qualche foto dalla sua galleria di opere. Ne volete altre? / Do you want more? ...

Leggo su CineBlog che Roberto Benigni, il Grande Benigni, è stato insignito di una [it:Laurea ad Honorem]: Al nostro caro Roberto Benigni, è stata insignita una laurea ad honorem presso l’Universita’ Cattolica di Lovanio, Belgio. Benigni, in un clima di forte ilarità (per altro immaginabile) ha commentato: ‘Vorrei mostrarvi il mio cuore che mi batte molto forte. Vi amo e vi prometto che morire sara’ l’ultima cosa che faro’ nella vita!’. La laurea sarebbe stata a lui insignita per ‘per i suoi alti meriti cinematografici e per il suo impegno nella diffusione della poesia e della Divina Commedia in particolare’. ...

LOL! Aren’t you confused about the hundreds… thousands kinds, versions, upgrades of [en:Windows_Vista|Vista]? Really [en:Microsoft|M$] thinks that users doesn’t have nothing better to do that read a brochure full of useless and incomprehensible differences? Source, TUAW.

After only 2 days of intense work/playing (…) with the [en:Theme (computing)|theme] Fresh by iLEMONed, I completed my new theme, FreshApple. What do you think about it? ;) P.S. Besides, I have updated Wordpress to 2.1. Speed improvement and few new features. Nothing else.
