I learnt a lot - It was fantastic.

Folowing up my last post about the way the internet (and therefore IT) is changing YOUR life. I want to talk to you about an intersting project that will probably change the next generation relationship with the machine.
In order to have access to the "Matrix", you need an interface, a machine. Thats where problems start! We're obviously not equal in terms of material and knowledge even in western countries.

Eden, Sapphir coast in south east Australia

Xavier Minali — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 20:59:23 +0100

Hello,
today I want to share some beautiful picture of the south east coast of New South Wales in Australia.
For this Xmas break I decided to go for a road trip to refresh, relax and enjoy solitude and nature.
My main destination was Eden and particularly the green cap with a lighthouse...I though it was a good inspiration to find the path and clarify the direction for the coming up year...a lighthouse! A bright and high light for 2010.

Our clock of change...

Hi dear reader,

welcome back, it's been a while since the last post on my blog.
For those who don't know, the website has been closed for few weeks due to a travel in Japan and a hack that I didn't have time to fix because of this travel.

In fact, I wanted to upgrade my website a long time ago because it was getting old (started in 2006). This event has definitely pushed me to do it.
