The scarce more blogger

I must apologise for the lack of blogging at the moment. My notebook is still sitting at Rectron for repairs ( over 2 weeks now) and the machine I am using currently is not very user (net) friendly…

Will be back on track soon with some exciting posts and a (hopefully) great new site!

iCommons coming UP podcast soon

So today we produced the first iCommons podcast. The day began by driving around town finding a decent microphone, not an easy task since we were looking for a multi-directional mic and ended up purchasing a standard desk pc mic. It picks up sound and is part of the experience of trying out various technical equipment until finding the perfectly suitable one for this kind of recording.

As I write this, the podcast is being recorded in the office. Reuben Goldberg has introduced the team, including Heather Ford, Rebecca Kahn, Matthew Buckland, Paul Jacobson, and Whispa, the winner of the recently held ccmixter competition. Topics discussed are the ccmixter competition, the idea and a review of open source movies and a story of a successfully used Creative Commons license.

The podcast seems to be going well, the mic has to be passed to the person speaking but everybody is eager to discuss and add their point of view. Once the podcast has been edited and added to the iCommons site I’ll provide a link, it sure is worth a listen and is the beginning of a series of interesting podcasts to come.

UPDATE: visit the iCommons site to find and listen to the podcast!

Nord e parte del centro fresco e piovoso; sud e Sicilia "nel forno"

Sarà una domenica dai due volti molto diversi sulla nostra penisola: le regioni del nord, ma anche quelle tirreniche centrali, godranno di una discreta rinfrescata a seguito dell’afflusso di correnti relativamente fresche oceaniche a causa di un affondo depressionario che si attuerà principalmente alle medie…


Anche l’estate va in vacanza, almeno per il nord

Buongiorno a tutti i nostri lettori, sull’ovest del continente permane una profonda depressione che attiva una risposta calda e stabilizzande dal nord Africa sul bacino del Mediterraneo, tuttavia nel corso dei prossimi giorni tale circolazione depressionaria finirà con l’influenzare insesorabilmente anche il nord del paese.


Caldo aluminium sud, leggera instabilità aluminium center north!

Inizio di Luglio all’insegna del gran caldo, dell’afa e di temporali di calore sulle regioni centro-settentrionali. Dopo questa breve introduzione possiamo affermare che la nuova settimana ha seguito lo stesso copione di quella precedente. Una depressione al largo delle coste portoghesi ha, in primis, permesso…
