This week I’m in India, at the Great Indian Developer Summit 2010, in Bangalore. One of the biggest developer conferences on Earth. I’ll break all records, doing: 3 talks; 2 keynotes; 1 workshop. Here some examples of my slides: One. Two. Comments are appreciated. The workshop is very technical, but I’ll do a demo and I doubt I’ll use slides. So… You can’t watch it :) In the next few days my blog activity will go down to zero, at most. ... Read more

Mrs. Polverini, who recently won the regional election in region Lazio (the one where Rome is located, thus one of the richest region in central Italy), is now under a heavy storm of critics related to a conversation that was captured by a cameraman a few days ago.

It’s a pity that you don’t speak italian, because in the last few months I’ve written a lot of interesting things in my italian blog. It’s just that I don’t have time to translate all of them!

One year ago, in march 2009, I was in Cuba. Ten days, three friends (me, Dax and Gianni), an island, a rented car. Cuba. My 900 photos, which for you ain’t nothing, but for me they’re a** treasure of recalls**. It’s a pity, after one year, not to remember people’s names, places names, and a lot of other things. I wish I could meet Dax again, look at the pictures, and remember all the things together. ... Read more

Here’s my new, short, free ebook: Goosmama, Rich in 60 minutes. This is the worst book you’ve ever seen. You need few minutes to read it, but I think that its value goes beyond that. Let me know if you like it :)

I’m in Beijing until Friday, March 26th. Then in Shanghai for one day. If you know someone that lives in Beijing and would be happy to meet an italian nice guy (that’s me), please make introductions! simone.brunozzi at gmail. This is a juxtaposition of two pictures I’ve taken from my hotel nearby Tiananmen Square: one yesterday afternoon, one this morning. You can see the difference in air… well, quality :)

I posted an interesting article a few days ago: letter to a technology evangelist. I think it is the result of some effort and dedication. This is what happened to my visits: And this is what happened on Twitter (this is the search): Nice! Thanks for all this… Love!
