Scart To Rgb Good Idea

Today I became aware of another defeat. And I do not know whether it is a case .. but tonight I came across a phrase that seems written for me (no, I do not believe in coincidences).

I the Warrior of Light, unwittingly, makes a false step and plunges into the abyss.

ghosts frighten him, loneliness torments him.

Because he wanted a good fight, do not think that would never could happen, but it happened.

Enveloped by darkness, he communicates with his master.

"Master, I fell into the abyss," he says. "The waters are deep and dark. " " Remember one thing, "replied the teacher.

" What he does not drown the dive, but the fact of staying under water. "

And the warrior strives with all his strength out of the situation where is.

The warrior knows how to lose. He does not treat with indifference the defeat, saying things like, Well ', was not so important, "or" To be honest, I do not even wanted. "

Accept defeat as such, and not try to turn it into victory.
suffers the pain of his wounds, the indifference of friends, the loneliness of loss. In those moments, he says to himself: I fought for something, and I did not . I lost the first battle. "
This sentence gives him new strength, he knows that no one always wins, and is able to distinguish his actions from the mistakes corrected.

from "The Warrior of Light" by Paulo Coelho

Green Life Exhibition (Meraviglie verde natura)

This morning I was at the Triennale. There was Ross Lovegrove ( a famous designer) who held a lecture on Sustainability in design ... I could lose it?? Of course not! I must say it was an hour and a half (in English) quite interesting and full of good ideas.

But the Triennial is a magical place ... go there for a reason and eventually find many other interesting things to see!

I had already spotted an exhibition (which ends March 28) that, given my love for architecture, inspired me a lot, "Green life: building sustainable cities."

Well, I guessed that it would be interesting, but I did not think so ... let's say I went out quite euphoric. And the reason is that I saw exhibited projects that I thought could exist only in my imagination and ... instead they are real!

First, because of this show. Why Europe has launched in all respects its environmental challenge by stating that all buildings built from 2020 will be "Nearly zero buildings", or they must have an environmental impact as close as possible to zero (ie, energy consumption and should seek budget). For public authorities that the deadline is early 2018. Booyah! But if it were up to me imporrei to build autonomous buildings in terms of energy early as next year ... but maybe it is I who am a little drastic and impulsive! :)

It 's true, everyone has to play its part in combating waste (energy and not only) but if prevention is better than cure, then it should just be a good example architecture.

Indeed it is precisely in this direction we are moving.

An example is Solar City in Linz, a ecoquartiere architecture designed by big names such as Norman Foster, Renzo Piano (Italian pride!) And Thomas Herzog (that of Tate Gallery) in which 3000 people live. Energy consumption is about 36 kwh per square meter and installed solar cover half the energy needed to heat water ... Also the designers have paid particular attention to reducing the need for polluting means of transport (eg car) creating an efficient public transport system, obviously with the presence of bike paths ... and there is also a nearby pond because another goal that is to be reached is that every resident can have a maximum distance of 15 minutes (walking of course) from his home park ... so we must be surrounded by green! I want a house too so ..!

There were, then, some images of the Municipal Library of Amsterdam (the New Public Library Joe Coenen) ... even here, of course, the building is built for maximum performance in terms of energy efficiency. The funny thing (so to speak) for the Italians is that Amsterdam has ruled that by 2015 (including only 5 years ...!) all new buildings will be zero impact ... and everyone is happy about this! In the sense that there are people who will complain about the costs of new technologies may be higher ... they realized that they are not costs, but long-term investments ... in the Netherlands are proud of this mentality. Just a few months ago I had a coiquilina Dutch and one day told me how she missed her here BIKE Milan ... then and there I thought I did not understand her English ... but I said something crazy ... that its parts the bike is almost a sacred object (six out if you do not use the bike!) Amsterdam ... because there are over 400 km of cycle track! I honestly believe that this summer a bit exaggerated ... but the exhibition at the Triennale has given me confirmation of this staggering (positive) ... Padova-Milano 400 kilometers round trip of bike paths ... (according to my roommate, not very safe ... as in Milan, where anarchy - especially the taxi is everywhere)!

La carrellata di progetti di edifici sostenibili potrebbe continuare...però c'è dell'altro che mi ha davvero affascinato in questa mostra... quelle che per me sono delle vere e proprie meraviglie!

Innanzitutto non sapevo che esistesse la Tegolasolare .

Si tratta di una tegola realizzata in un impasto in ceramica che ha al suo interno un pannello fotovoltaico composto da 4 celle. Quindi apparentemente sembra di avere un normale tetto di tegole...in realtà c'è un pannello fotovoltaico incorporato che immagazzina calore...!E, dunque, scompaiono i problemi legati all'incompatibilità dei pannelli solari negli edifici storici o vincolati. It's easy! L'azienda che produce queste "tegolesolari", che si occupa di produzione di ceramiche per pavimenti e rivestimenti, è Area Industrie Ceramiche --> www.areaindustrie.it )...Non so se mai qualcuno di S.Stefano di Camastra (provincia di Messina, detta anche "la città delle ceramiche"...mio paesello per metà) capiterà a leggere questo post...però spero che qualcuno lì si accorga che la ceramica non è solo decorazione, che con l'argilla si possono fare molte cose...e che la sicilia avrebbe disperatamente bisogno di distinguersi per un pò d'innovatività...soprattutto in the field of environmental sustainability!

There was a electrolux dishwashers (www.greenspirit.it) that works without connecting to the mains, combining a hydrogen generator to a fuel cell (ehm. .. to tell the truth I'm pretty ignorant in this field and I plan to try to learn something more about these things that fascinate me so much!). Thanks to this and other Electrolux has received the Sustainable Energy Award by the European Commission ... and believe it!

Come al solito mi dilungo troppo...ma c'è ancora una cosa davvero bella che ho visto oggi in mostra... è proprio bella esteticamente...e sapere che è stata fatta con bottiglie di vetro riciclate, ai miei occhi l'ha resa ancora più meravigliosa! Si tratta di una specie di seduta rivestita di un mosaico ottenuto grazie alla lavorazione di bottiglie di vetro usate!

A volte siamo abituati a pensare che ciò che è fatto con materiale riciclato sia esteticamente peggiore rispetto a ciò che viene creato con materie non riciclate...bè, posso assicurare che non è assolutamente così...quel mosaico è perfetto ed è semplicemente bellissimo...e sfido chiunque a dire il contrario! And you know something beautiful? Trend Group SpA (the manufacturer) is to Vicenza! Not just Italian pride ... but, I also pride Venetian!! :) http://www.trend-vi.com/

Conclusion: This shows I just put in a good mood ... and 'recharging the power of innovation. It makes you feel that you are in a flow of positive energy that does evolve humanity destination ... Future! It is not a concept so obvious ... because when I see "my" beach in Sicily treated as a real open dump, the sensation is that of being on a huge treadmill that seems to inevitably turn away from the destination Future ...

Great Triennale, as always!

PS: The only flaw of this exhibition is the cost of the catalog is far too long ... 50 €! How do the poor young students like me? Too bad, I've left my heart in that book, I wanted at all costs. (

Singer's Saving Grace

..E tiriamoli fuori questi sogni dal cassetto!

Dedicated to wild and visionary, ai ribelli e ai sognatori, a tutti coloro che cercano una prospettiva diversa da quella della massa.

"Perchè solo coloro che sono abbastanza folli da pensare di poter cambiare il mondo, lo cambiano davvero."

Non lo dico io, lo diceva quel grand'uomo di Gandhi... e se lo diceva lui, forse conviene cominciare a crederci.

Grazie a Apple e a Steve Jobs per l'apertura mentale che riescono a trasmettere! Questo video mi ha fatto venire in mente una persona a cui dedicate these words (one of many!).

Once on a train I met a great woman, was the architect and as we talked (the turin-florence that Saturday afternoon was doing two hours and a half late ...!) I probably had seen his eyes shine while I said that my dream was to be an architect, but it was too late because my life had taken a different turn.

After a journey of more than seven hours (with Trenitalia!) Before dropping the big one woman told me one of the phrases that would mark my life. I looked into my eyes and said "And these dreams out of the drawer tiriamoli ...". And while the told me it was as if he was saying even to herself. Well, this video is dedicated also to this woman (do not know the name, I just know that for many years had prepared the development plans of the town of Savona !)... OUT THESE DREAMS AND TIRIAMOLI from the drawer ... because only those who are crazy enough to think they can change it really change the world!

Where To Get Rid Of Broken Air Compressor

I love twitter!

I recently discovered Twitter and I must say that I did not think I would have so much passion!

apparently seemed a "simple" micro-blogging service that lets you communicate by updating their status, which may have a length of 140 characters max. 140 characters? But less than a sms! I did not think you could do so much with 140 characters ... but!

To understand why I have so much passion to Twitter I can think of Democritus. For this philosopher was actually formed by an infinite number of atoms and the aggregation of atoms formed between them all there is in reality. Well, I've always been quite visionary and high school, studying Democritus, I imagined a storm of atoms in space, each followed a very specific trajectory, even without knowing why just followed the path (yes, why not for Democritus atomism was the result of chance, but of necessity! Perhaps that's why I always liked Democritus ... nothing happens by accident !)... and when two atoms were in contact they form a tree, a mountain, a flower, etc ... all that exists!

Well, I can imagine exactly how twitter ... is like a swarm of people-having ideas-thoughts that wander through space and when two atoms come together can grow something productive! :)

For example, I do not know why, but two days ago I "twitter" (you can tell?) By Nicola Zago on a book (which I will read very short!), "A pound of marketing", of which he was organizing the presentation a Verona e io gli ho scritto "organizziamo anche a Milano?" (in realtà a Milano ci sono già stati 2 eventi) ...lui ha chiesto a maxthemonkey (Massimo Carraro, l'autore) e la risposta di max alla sottoscritta è stata "Organizziamo!". Quindi ora devo proprio leggere questo libro, che tra l'altro mi ispira parecchio perchè parla anche di twitter...e poi si organizza!

E' il twitter-power! E' vero che in Italia, se non restiamo un pò indietro rispetto al resto del mondo, non siamo happy...però, nonostante il limitato uso di twitter degli italiani, mi viene da dire che in questo momento in twitter si trovano i pionieri, quelli che hanno le "visioni" sul futuro...e non mi dispiace affatto surround pioneers and visionaries!

Oops, I digressed a bit ... in fact in this post I also wanted to share something interesting that I came today with the blog feed Lab values \u200b\u200bbefore (on marketing and corporate communication ... very interesting ... I recommend! http://valoriprimilab . blogspot.com).

This is a chart on the Old vs. New Marketing, showing how changes in the next 3 years business investment in the media.

And yet, times table is a summary of the strategic approach to Twitter.

How is repeated several times on here, twitter adds value to those who want to make a system ...! In the end perhaps it was twitter (with all my followers and followings) that made me want to write on this blog! Thanks Twitter!

PS: I have to thank another person (who probably never read this post ...), Luca Conti (of the legendary journalist Nova24 -> on newsstands every Thursday to read with Il Sole 24 Ore ... absolutely!) because I have heard of social network SMAU and made me want to have it among your friends on facebook and reading what he wrote on his FB has opened my the mind is also on Twitter! Thanks! :)

OPEN YOUR MIND!

Perverted Meanings Of Jelly Braceletts

Reason why (di questo blog)

I state that I do not know exactly why I created this blog, but it was a while that I wanted to write. Well, to tell the truth I have always loved writing, and increasingly the last time I told myself that one day I created my blog ... the only problem is that I do not know if I have time to write often ... but basically, now that the blog exists, I hope to write regularly.

second premise, I had chosen the name for the domain was initially Hakuna Matata, but obviously someone had chosen before me. I do not know why but it is a few years I am saying that if one day I will have a boat (even a small boat!) All mine I'll call "Hakuna Matata, no worries ... I think a good omen, no?

In any case, I decided to fall back on one of my greatest passions: design! And since I consider myself a designer (and architect) missing, so I chose "little designer inside"! :)

What this blog will talk about? Again I really do not know, but I can say that talk of everything, for one reason or another, I will feel interesting design ... and more!

Finally, if anyone did not know what B612 ... but how, do not know what B612?? And 'the planet he came from the Little Prince, my idol! Yes, because sometimes (more often, I admit) I am an alien on this planet ... boundless altruism selfishness prevails, things become more important than people, it takes from the poor and gives to the rich more ... and even those who are at the edge of the ring, who have not had the courage to put on the gloves and come to fight beside you, are there to watch you in silence ready to point the finger as soon as you stretch out your opponents, telling them that you l 'They told us that you would have done ... and then those who still can not believe in dreams are constantly singled out from the crowd, such as a mock (poor) because they will never get anything (actually it's just envy, but that's another story!).
