So, 5th of May 2012 was not my end of the world. I am still here, and very happy I ran my 11.1 km in 1 hour and 11 minutes and 32 seconds! On the track everybody overtook me, except for 6 people: two of them were tourists on the track, one a lost dog. Nevertheless, I scored 81 absolute positions better than the initial team rank and 236 better cumulative. Now that I started running, I will not give it up so easily! Also because Endomondo and Google track satisfy my nerd side while making sport! Click on the picture post for a better view!
Running, biking, sailing, canyoing, climbing and flying. Skip the last three, still yesterday 50 kms biking from Zurich to Rapperswill via Forch were “something” to remember. Check out the route pictures here!
… especially for somebody not really excited by running itself… like me “Sportypal pro” is the only app I tested not losing the BT signal from the Polar WearLink. When I started training one month ago I could run 6 km in 1h 10′ being dead at the end. Now I run the same distance in 35′ without getting exhausted.
In fondo l’ignoranza e’ il problema maggiore di troppi Italiani. Col fatto di credersi furbi, troppi Italiani pensano di poter pontificare su tutto senza sapere nulla. E’ difficile trovare un Italiano che osi dire: “non lo so, non e’ il mio campo”. Tutti si fanno gli affari altrui, senza sapere neppure muoversi nella propria specialita’. E cosi’, mentre perdono tempo a sfottere gli altri per motivazioni fasulle, non imparano nulla per migliorare se stessi.
I genitori sanno meglio dei maestri, i guidatori meglio delle regole del codice della strada, e anche i Zincone meglio degli Ereditato. Che immonda figura, o Zincone. Persino la De Pasqua avrebbe fatto meglio! Ma che dico: persino Franco Foresta Martin avrebbe organizzato domande migliori! Complimenti al Corriere della Sera, carta per avvolgere il pesce serve sempre.
I have been quite a nerd in the last month, playing compulsively with “The Witcher“. I was so in it that once my wife asked me for fruits after dinner I replied “… good idea, I have to drag the cow to Dagon” …
Better than a passive movie, better than an active book, the Witcher game surprised me with its script style. Choices made during the game will dramatically affect the events. It is difficult to have the same experience with books or films. Well, now I am ready for The Witcher 2, which incidentally came out just last year.
I never found a free wi-fi spot when I needed a map on my Android phone. So I was map less for quite a while. Something I never experienced with Nokia and its OVI Maps.
There is a way to make your Android phone really smart without paying a cent. Install Locus Free and save the vector maps you need in \Locus\mapsVector on your external card.
Never again without maps! Additionally, vector maps are very small (142 MB for whole Switzerland), detailed, updated and fast to download on your desktop!
At least depending on where we live. I find this new gravity point of view on our Planet very intriguing. Cold areas: low gravity pull; hot areas: high gravity pull. All measured with a orbiting satellite. Pity no scale is present.
Now some time for science fiction based on this study. Considering that more is the mass in a specific area, higher is gravity, what is that low gravity hole below India? A huge depression in the crust thickness due to a metheorite impact? Or a change in its composition? Do places with vulcanic activites cause more gravity? Or does more gravity promotes vulcano? Do we sense planetary gravity changes with our bodies? Were ancient humans following gravity and therefore crossing Bering towards Americas? Whatever, I like this animation a lot.
I am glad flickr.com is flooded with Iphone4 pictures, being now Iphone4 the most used digital camera. For any semi-professional and professional photographer, Iphone picture quality should be just something to laugh at. More pictures, less quality, more visibility to peaks (and half-peaks) of excellence.
At least as long as “quality” will be required in the photography market.
The best camera is NOT the one you have with you, but the one you are willing to carry with you.
