My new homepage

Pietro — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:23:51 +0000

Recently I have made some serious changes to my homepage. SOme of those changes I have been planning from a long long time. Others were more sudden.

The central page is of course at pietrosperoni.it that leads to home.pietrosperoni.it. But then there was something that I wanted to do for a long time. Integrate my [...] No related posts.

No more Ivory Towers

Pietro — Thu, 05 May 2011 08:39:18 +0000

I am right now at the FET 11 conference. There I was attending a session from my old friend Josh Bongard on Crowdsourcing Science . There I commented that it would be already a good thing if scientists started to make themselves available to the wider public. This by giving a timetable when they are [...] Related posts:

Taking a taxi in Lisbon (without being cheated)

Pietro — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 09:08:47 +0000

Taxi in portugal are generally very cheap. This is why people, in particular tourists that come from richer countries, tend to take them a lot. But in Lisbon they are often not that honest. It is very common to take a taxi in Lisbon and end up paying much more than what you were supposed [...] No related posts.

COP15 Needs an e-Government System

Pietro — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:56:06 +0000

This morning I received a mail from Copenhagen. It was very moving, and describing a situation of chaos, strong commitment, and braveness. It told the story of people fighting with non violence, and shouting that they want change.

And I am afraid all this is useless. I feel once again what I felt looking at [...] Related posts:

In memory of David Carradine, what would Master Po say?

Pietro — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 21:26:59 +0000

I wonder how Caine would have commented David Carradine‘s death. Especially the modus operandi.

I can see it. The light dissolves, and a new scene is in front of our eyes:

Master Po walks. Young Caine is thoughtful…

-What’s the matter, Grasshopper?

-Master Po, the story teller from the village just died.

How Twitter, Google, Wolfram|Alpha and WIkipedia are not competing at all

Pietro — Tue, 26 May 2009 14:49:43 +0000

It seems to me that Twitter, Google, and Wolfram|Alpha, are really not competing at all, but are instead providing complementary services. I would go farther by adding wikipedia (and blogs?), and suggest that the 4 services really represent the digestive process of our information society. From the first Churning to the Backbone

Wolfram|Alpha represents the [...] No related posts.

Timesonline censors unconfortable comments

As many of you know, I eat in Primal Diet from a long time. It is at least 3 or 4 years. I was very ill when I started, and feel much better now. I often look around to see when new articles appear on this diet, and I was very happy to read that [...] No related posts.

Mindmanager for Mac is a joke

Pietro — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 17:23:58 +0000

I have been using mindmaps for quite some time. Wherever I go I am known as the mindmap person. My whole website was build using MindManager’s export-to-HTML function. But those where the times of Windows. Now I have moved to Mac and I have left behind MindManager. Now I use Freemind, and iMindMap.

I recently [...] No related posts.

Facebook as a spiritual tool

Pietro — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:57:02 +0000

[crossposted on the moblog, and the facebook notes.]

One of the leit motif in spirituality is to reach an integration among the various parts of oneself. There are many important reasons for this, which I am not going to enter right now. Becoming One is not seen in Taoism as a spiritual goal, but as [...] No related posts.

In the article: Tweeting the terror: How social media reacted to Mumbai it is explained how twitter, blogs and social networks gave mixed results in during the Mumbai massacre. I particular it is said:
