Re: Allo Zelig per parlare di nuovo marketing

Sì, funziona quando è genuino e fresco. Bisogna stare attenti, perché se raccomandi tecniche virali al cliente che non le capisce o le percepisce come un male necessario invece che un sistema divertente e coinvolgente per far conoscere i propri prodotti e servizi, allora può essere controproducente con effetti deleteri.

Heh, è divertente, vero? Sono online anche le lezioni adesso. Spero di avere il tempo e rubare un po' delle tracce e metterle online.

Thanks Benton! We are very excited: there are over 100 developers who are checking out the stuff as we speak, and working on integrations and applications based on Arduino, SunSpots, iPhone, and more...

And... shhh... there will be a cool piece of news tomorrow as well!

No carbs, or almost none! I eat a slice of bread for breakfast, to give me energy, but no pasta for lunch, and no pasta for dinner either. Sometimes some bread, but for dinner not more than a slice too...

(And no potatoes either, and very little rice. But beans yes, for proteins...)

Congratulations :) I'd love to jump the barrier too (I'm currently vegetarian and points 1 and 3 are the reasons).
Look at carbs, now! They are killer if you want to loose weight in a V diet... In my first two vegetarian months, I actually GAINED weight :(

Yes, I do love cheese, too. And fried eggs. And meat, as well. I just don't eat them! :)

I've been a vegetarian for 7+ years, since January 2001, and I'm not looking back. Giving up with Castelmagno and Pecorino would be a lot tougher, though.

Re: On becoming vegan: five good reasons

davidorban — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 06:19:20 -0000

You are right of course. There wouldn't be an alternative name though. Aspiring vegan sounded silly. Now a month has passed without meat (or milk, or eggs, or cheese). One day at a time, right?

Re: On becoming vegan: five good reasons

no name — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 00:22:56 -0000

I encourage you, but giving up meat is a lot like giving up smoking. When someone says, "I've stopped smoking." and someone asks them, "For how long?"

If they said, "For four days." Everyone would laugh.

Similarly, 4 days off meat is not long enough to call yourself a vegan.

Hi, The book is at the printers at the moment! As soon as it is published I will let you know all the details.

Re: On becoming vegan: five good reasons

davidorban — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 16:10:07 -0000

Yes, I'd like to know about that book! :) Please link it here in the comments...

Yes, wonderful idea. I was a vegan for a long time and felt very good. A new boyfriend put an end to that but I'm going back on it now after 12 years of just getting fatter and fatter. By the way, I know someone who's just written a book about Italian vegan dishes with recipes if you're interested.

Judit, it is up to us as people to behave, and vote with our conscience. Politicians are very good in reading the feelings of the public, and they will become more pro-environment as the majority of people are, because they don't want to lose!

Good answer to a good question! Let's hope it's not just nice words and Utopia ...

Beh, i complimenti vanno a Fabrizio che non solo ha adottato Rovigo come sua casa, ma sta anche cercando di vivacizzarne lo spirito in ambito tecnologico e online!

a Rovigo succedono queste cose? sul serio?
sono quasi commossa!

Yes. Italy is a different story. But we were not specific about a given country, or if we were, the reference was more on the USA. And there you can bet that things will start to change quickly after November.

Today, in Italy, It should be really difficult that it will happen. About green, I see only the Lega Nord's ties.
