Il minimo sforzo
→ Jump to English version o o o /|\ /|\ /| / \ / \ / \ o o o /|\ /|\ /|\ / \ / \ / \ o o /|\ /|\ / \ / \ Qualcuno, da qualche parte, sta lavorando duramente perché tu non debba farlo. Sta studiando per quanto tempo tieni gli occhi fermi su uno schermo prima di scrollare. Sta testando quale colore di notifica ti fa aprire l'app più in fretta. Sta decidendo quale notizia ti fa più paura, quale…
Welcome to the RSS club
Se stai leggendo questo, sei nel posto giusto. Sei nell'RSS Club. L'idea è di Dave Rupert , ma non so bene se mi è permesso parlarne. In his own words: It’s my pledge to use this secret communication channel to share a little more deeply. Maybe it’s something personal, maybe it’s something in progress, maybe it’s a soft launch. Monthly’ish Easter eggs for those of us who still use RSS readers. The…
How a Pair of In-Ear Monitors Made Me Actually Hear Music Again
It started with a stranger on a Seoul bus. I spotted this guy handling his old iPod like it was made of glass. His earphones weren't the usual white cables everyone wore. They looked different. Serious. I snapped a photo and later discovered they were Westone Audio earphones. Around €500. That moment planted a seed I'd been avoiding for years. The Audiophile Dilemma The world of high-end audio has…
New Beginnings
It's a matter of truth. It's a matter of freedom. Look around: our feeds are full of content made by resourceful talents and creators. Instagram is the most polished billboard ever made, a perennial show-off of brands and people sharing how wonderful everything they touch and see is. TikTok... TikTok seems to know me more than I do, bringing me around the world and making my hours pass like…
What a creative can learn from Eleven Madison Park going vegan
One of my favorite action movies on Netflix is 7 Days Out . Actually, it's not an action movie, but a documentary following organizers and employees before a big event. One episode is dedicated to the renovation of Eleven Maidson Park, the highly acclaimed New York City restaurant. And, in the mother scene, you see dozens of ducks (aka thousands of dollars) hanging in a world-class glass fridge.…
Massimo Bottura, come rendere visibile l'invisibile
Sul numero 15/2021 di Grazia abbiamo chiesto a 20 grandi nomi italiani internazionali di raccontare la loro ricetta per ricostruire il futuro dopo la pandemia. Questo è quello che mi ha detto lo chef Massimo Bottura dell'Osteria Francescana. Non troverete la parte più bella della nostra chiacchierata che ha a che fare con la nebbia del modenese, il comune di Castelnuovo Rangone e i tempi di…
Quando Arbasino mi disse che ero come suo padre. E avevo solo 17 anni
E' morto nella notte lo scrittore e giornalista Alberto Arbasino. Tra i protagonisti del Gruppo '63, con una grande produzione che ha spaziato dai romanzi alla saggistica, Arbasino aveva 90 anni. Detta in breve. Seconda liceo classico, Liceo Virgilio di Roma, maggio 1996. La professoressa d'italiano ci fa partecipare a un concorso legato al Premio Grinzane Cavour: bisogna recensire ognuno un…
How Noma's Seafood Menu can change you forever
On the night of January 21st I slipped a slice of Black Spanish Radish into the inside pocket of my suit. I believe it has been sliced a few minutes before in front of me by a cook named Rebecca Raben and it was part of a sea snails salad, one of the best dishes I had that night at Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark. One of the best I had in my life. Usually people who wants to remember a restaurant ask…
