The blog says:

Like many at Fabrica, the blog is feeling frustrated and unloved. A couple of weeks ago it got all upset and crashed the entire Fabrica server. Embarrassing. We realised it was time to give it the attention it deserves.
Over the next month or so, we will be tinkering behind the scenes, and in front of them too. If you have any suggestions for how to make this blog better, we would love to hear them.
~~Simply comment to this post. xxoo.~~Sorry, the comments system had to be disabled because it’s slowing the server down too much. Poor thing. We’ll let you know when that’s up and running again.
Instead, please send your suggestions to the wonderful karol.derueda@fabrica.it

rollerblading in treviso

While I still don’t know what legalities exist for rollerblading in the streets of Treviso, one thing is certain: it originated here. I’m willing to try it out en route to and from mensa, but the cobblestone streets of the city center are probably too menacing.
from wikipedia:
“Rollerblade is a type of inline skate. The name is a registered trademark owned by Nordica, part of the Tecnica Group of Trevignano, Treviso, Italy. Scott and Brennan Olson sold their Minneapolis company and it became Rollerblade, Inc. which has changed hands over time between Nordica, Benetton Group and Tecnica. The Rollerblade trademark has been in use since March of 1983. While the company does not want the meaning of its trademark to be diluted, the term “rollerblade” is frequently used in casual conversations as a generic word for any inline skate, regardless of brand. This misuse has also appeared on “official” items such as signs, buildings, and sidewalks.[citation needed]
This Company is also responsible for the creation of the TRS brand of aggressive rollerskates.”

Come lead us, Sig. Castro

Now that Fidel is retiring, maybe he has time to take up Luciano’s invitation to be a ‘teacher of revolution’ at Fabrica.

I didn’t believe it, until I read this article in the New York Times.

Colors 73

Colors Magazine looks at money -life’s most coveted companion- in its myriad forms, by taking cash out of circulation and testing it in a lab. From blood, metal, ash and oil to cocaine, soil, skin and feces, money, passing through the hands of millions, retains traces of the activities –both noble and scandalous– of those who touched it. That’s Colors journey, an exploration that results in one simple conclusion: Money, the stranger we spend most of our time thinking of, is an illusion.

Interesting and very refreshing!
Colors 73 is on sale now.

Africa Works

Africa Works is a new global communication campaign in favour of micro-credit developed by Fabrica, in partnership with Youssou N’Dour and Birima, his co-operative credit society in Senegal that offers financial services for SMEs, craftspeople, professionals and artists to help them start and independently develop their business.

Youssou N’Dour, one of Africa’s best-known singers and a man committed to humanitarian projects, comments: “my personal experience led me to realise that when a loan, however small, is used to develop an idea or realise a project, it is an effective way of fighting poverty. This is why everybody must understand the value of micro-credit. Africa doesn’t want charity, it wants repayable subsidised loans.”

Our saviour

As you may know, the blog was mysteriously gone for more than a week after –they- published the new Fabrica website. Apparently, -they- couldn’t find a solution during all those days, as I was the most depressed person in the world.

Then, the feminine force came to save the blogsphere (and our sanity). Lizy, our super woman and her impressive skills came up with a solution in the spite of a couple of hours, and finally, thanks to her, here we are again.
Thank you mujer, you are the greatest!!!

FAB

For my last post, I thought it would be a great idea to do something perfect for the chilly winter.
A few days ago me and Rita Botelho managed to take this image of Fabrica in ice on one of the highest spots in the Dolomites. If left undisturbed the image is likely to last for several thousand years.
Happy Travels to all and have a Great Christmas !!!
2 Blogger spots are now open at Fabrica as me and Michael both leave. Karol, our Mexican Blog Queen, continues to rule …but i am sure she would love some company on board!
