[Learnt what?] WordPress Development & CSS3
My first networking event in Amstedam, OpenCoffee, left me disappointed because there were a lot of freelancers hunting for customers. In between plenty of self-declared Social Media Experts, few “I make websites with WordPress” caught my attention. For the web-analphabets, WordPress is a free software that runs ~20% of all the Internet websites around. It [...]
Learnt What?
If I have to summarize in a sentence my experience since I started my entrepreneurial life, it’s gonna be: “I’ve learnt a lot of new stuff…” So I decided to list here the skills that I’ve learnt so far, that are helping and will help making my dreams come true, and to dedicate a series [...]
What I appreciate in people
This is the last post of the 3×3 challenge that Cloudio and I put together to experiment with writing, always selecting random subjects and inventing strange rules. It has been so much fun that Cloudio decided to set as a rule to condensate the last 3 articles in a single one, but of 333×3=999 words [...]

Parks
My park is Vondelpark, a magnificent oasi in the heart of Amsterdam that makes me think that this city is the best of the World every time there’s a ray of sun.

“What’s your dream?” asked my friend the other week during a diner at mine. That’s the simplest question ever. But I felt like if I was reaching my pocket looking for the wallet just to discover that was not there anymore. My answer wasn’t there anymore either.
MOM
Free writing session #1 (3 minutes) To me, mom is love. To Google, “mom” is Ministry of Manpower in Singapore. Google wants the web to be more human, more real, more natural, so why Google doesn’t start being more human too? Why Mom is an institution of a city-state with little democracy? Someone searching for [...]
The 3 best things I bought in my life (so far)
1. The Salsa Van I never own any of the cars I drove but when I decided to buy my 1st 4-wheels vehicle I had no doubt. Some people 1 day buy the car they always wanted – a sporty rocket, a cabrio – before getting merried and move to a hearse. For me that [...]
