bye Steve!

I sincerely want to express my deepest condolences to Steve’s family, his coworkers and friends, to apple’s community and to the world.

Yesterday we didn’t just lost a great man; we lost a visionary, a dreamer, an artist and a man that loved his work.

Yesterday technology lost a true thinker, one that thought differently and, doing so, revolutionized our prejudices about computers, music, communication and, honestly, technology. I’ve really appreciated how, yesterday and today, the entire world (and not only the tech-one) brought respect to him, minimalistically and respectfully.

I never had the pleasure to meet or talk to him but he is surely one of my greatest sources of inspiration for life and dreams. He thought us that even in the darkest moments of our life we can succeed and rise back up. Steve was one of the greatest leaders of our time. He believed in something and he worked as hard as possible to reach they goal.

Personally I would like to thank Mr Steve Jobs. He gave me a wonderful platform on which I’ve assimilated a big part of my knowledge, he gave me music back, he gave me goals.

I have to apologize for this text, I’m not a very good writer but I want, no, I need to express this because when I read about his death I felt very bad, like I’ve lost a friend, a mentor and the only thing that I think needs to be expressed is silence. Thank you Steve!

Hi, welcome on my blog!

the first thing I want to say is: “Thank you, thank you to be here!”

Since this is my personal blog, related to my main website, I will write here tons of different stuff but I’ll try to focus my attention of few of my favorites topics: photography, traveling, and traveling related arguments, technology (I’m a Mac User) and, possibly, airplanes but I’ll mainly deal with photography.

This first post means a lot to me since is the first post on a site that is the achievement of a refining work that I started years (yes, years) ago. This long time is due to an incredibly difficult system that I created around me that was forcing me to work too much for almost nothing. Then I discovered minimalism.

I’m not an extremely minimalist guy, probably I’m not minimalist at all, but I think that minimalism applied to technology is a beautiful thing (did I mentioned I’m a mac user?). So I spent my summer refining what I love to call “the system”, basically my main website and my blog. Since tomorrow I will start attending the Politecnico di Milano as a student in the aerospace engineering course, I needed an incredibly efficient and reliable system that allows me to manage my online presence.

This system became almost an obsession and, now is ready to be used. It is made by the blog you are reading right now and by a static website that I coded by myself in PHP and CSS that I use as a contacting device (kind of a business card) and as a junction between my accounts on different networks.

The simplicity of this system and the reliability of it comes from a few tools I use: Tumblr, Dropbox, Notational Velocity and SimpleNote, Flickr and an hosting account but I’ll deal about my workflow in other posts.

Thank you again for reading this.

Federico
