<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">Lorenzo Piccione di Pianogrillo, diseñador formado en Milano creó en 2007, junto a Köbi Wiesendanger, una bellísima pieza destinada a facilitar la degustación del aceite de oliva. Venido de una familia de productores de aceite de oliva en Italia, la </span><a href="http://www.pianogrillo.it/"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;"><span> </span></span>azienda Pianogrillo</span></span></a><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">, el diseño creado para la notable colección de <span> </span><span> </span></span></span><a href="http://www.alessi.com/en/3/2067/oil-cruets-condiment-sets/taste-huile-olive-oil-taster"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">Alessi</span></a><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">, es de una belleza turbadora. La forma sutil de la aceituna, el insinuado pedúnculo y el delicado canal por donde debe discurrir el aceite de oliva se depositan sobre una hoja plateada cuyos reflejos imitan ese verde plata que inunda los días de viento en cualquier campo de olivos. Un deleite para los sentidos acorde con las emociones que la cata posterior puede provocar. Un regalo para los amantes del aceite de oliva. </span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.nwt.se/ArticlePages/200805/20/20080520193100_NWT799/sexleksaker-hk.jpg" alt="apoteket" /><br />
Apoteket har börjat sälja sexleksaker.För kvinnor.Inte män.Inte en enda lösvagina så långt ögat når här alltså och det är möjligt att jag är en av de få som undrar varför.</p>
<p>De är strömlinjeformade,bostadsrättsanpassade och ser ut att vara designade av åttiotalsretarderade designmärket Alessi om någon minns deras produkter.Man ser liksom inte vad det ska föreställa fast man vet det.De ser rent av ut som sådana där gnisttändare min mamma använde till gasspisen i lägenheten i Johanneberg i Göteborg vi bodde i när jag var barn någon gång på åttiotalet-slimmade,befriade från sitt råa naturella utseende med ådror och kulformade bihang.De påminner något om förtjockade blomstänglar eller icke utslagna pioner,och hoppsan,till och med det lät porrigt.Men man vet ju vad det ska vara för något förstås,annars vore det ju inget kul.<br />
Man ska kunna gå hem med dem i en tunn plastpåse i handen utan att behöva rulla en tidning runt dem i påsen.In lust we trust.Lite raunchy men ändå rumsrent.Fräckt på ett godkänt vis,utan skuldkänslor.</p>
<p>Sexleksaker för kvinnor ja.Politiskt korrekt.Knipkulor som barnmorskan rekommenderar finns också,de som sägs intensifiera orgasmerandet när man fött barn.Strama upp de nedre regionerna när man passerat trettio och redan hunnit klämma ut ett par stycken.<br />
Det är jättefint och hedervärt att apoteket säljer sexlleksaker,människor behöver sex.Men,frågar jag mig,var finns lösvaginorna?Penispumparna?<br />
Har inte män behov av sex?</p>
<p>Intressant fråga.Alltså inte om män har ett sexuellt behov eller inte utan varför lösvaginor inte säljs.<br />
Jag misstänker att de förpassats till porren,det fula,smutsiga och förbjudnas domäner.Det icke-politiskt korrekta.Män är ju sexmonster,alltså ska de inte uppmuntras.Är det så apoteket tänker när de lanserar rosa,vågformade dildos och geishakulor?Eller tycker de helt enkelt att män inte <em>behöver</em> någon hjälp på traven?Att de klarar sig så bra utan hjälpmedel?<br />
Kanske.Men varför skulle jag som kvinna då behöva det?Fundera på det!</p>
<p>(för den som undrar över uttrycket bostadsrättsanpassad,uppfunnet av Mr Neurotica73,så betyder det fräscht,rätt och politiskt korrekt,något som alltså är smakmässigt säkert och oriskabelt för den som vill vara rätt utan att sticka ut för mycket och slippa riskera att framstå som kufig.Lagom rebelliskt och djupt för välanpassade vuxna.Exempel på musik som är bostadsrättsanpassad är Bo Kaspers orkester och Kent.)</p>

<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"><em>"</em>Io penso che lo scopo del design  in futuro (perlomeno: il mio scopo per il mio futuro nel mondo del design) sarà proprio questo: di trasformare il destino di gadget degli oggetti nella nostra società dei consumi in una opportunità transizionale, vale a dire in una opportunità per i consumatori di crescere e di migliorare la loro percezione del mondo.<br />
Si tratta di un'attività dalla natura tipicamente paradossale (come è paradossale il gioco dei bambini). Paradossale nel senso 'para dochè', a fianco della regola, della norma, dello standard, al fine di cogliere appieno la cosiddetta realtà del mondo e della vita.<br />
In futuro la maggior parte dei nostri prodotti continueranno a essere contraddistinti da un alto grado di innovazione e sperimentazione, dato che crediamo che questa sia la strada per sviluppare la nostra capacitá di set trends, di promuovere la nostra fama e di creare un medium culturale rivolto a sviluppare quei progetti che ci piace chiamare Super &#38; Popular."Alberto Alessi</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've had the Pinkberry Lady Tigra Remix in my head all afternoon.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/lZzsw3VYpWQ'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/lZzsw3VYpWQ&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>That's because I'm applying to be a blogger for a travel website that promotes New York City attractions and I have to submit a sample post. I didn't want to pick something too cliche, like The Empire State Building. Nor did I want to go the morose route of writing about Grant's tomb (although you can't beat <strong>An Attraction to Take For Granted!</strong> as a title). So I chose Pinkberry.</p>
<p>The song is super catchy, even if it is a bit difficult to sing along to without falling behind during the PIN-KBE-RRY refrain. (0:31) My Junior Year of High School, when I played Aunt Eller, I couldn't spell Oklahoma, either.  <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgaY0cDq4nM">O-K-L-O-M-H-A! </a>   </p>
<p>Pinkberry is only available in New York City and California. That, coupled with long lines, helps qualify it as an Attraction. There are currently 13 locations in Manhattan. Mayan legend has it that 13 crystal skulls will one day unite and save humanity from a horrible catastrophe. Now I'm fairly certain these "skulls" are Pinkberry stores (Mayan is so easily mistranslated) where the delicious dispensed goodness is crystalline cold and quite possibly our only means of averting nuclear war.</p>
<p>Pinkberry, as a verb, means to wait. First you pinkberry on the curb next to stinky Soho trash, and then you pinkberry indoors on a faux-pebble floor, slowly filing past adorable but unnecessary kitchen kitsch by Italian designer Alessi: an egg-cup in the shape of a blue alien, for example. But all this pinkberrying has an air of urban hipness.  It's like the L train, only pastel, and with $500 Philippe Starck Victoria Ghost chairs.</p>
<p><a href="http://trybecca.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/2007_03_redmango-pinkberry-seats1.jpg"><img src="http://trybecca.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/2007_03_redmango-pinkberry-seats1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="107" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-796" /></a></p>
<p>Sure, I think the name Pinkberry sounds like an alternate ending for <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=jipboWI9uiE">Citizen Cane </a>, but I love the tart, natural taste of its three fro-yo flavors (Green Tea, Coffee, and Original) and the huge selection of fresh fruit toppings. Also, with 13 locations, you're guaranteed not to be in this line:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14" src="http://harfenengel.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/sanitaets.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="666" /></p>
<p>Ein Sanitätshaus buchte mich anläßlich einer Feier -die Harfe sollte ich schon am Vormittag vor Ort bringen, da der Transport sonst am Abend sehr kompliziert wäre.Mir war das nicht so recht, denn so würde mein gesamter Vormittag flöten gehen...</p>
<p>Es war dann doch nicht so zeitaufwändig wie vermutet, denn die Harfe mußte von der Bar jeder Vernunft, wo ich zur Zeit spiele, in die Lützowstr, gebracht werden.Also keine Fernfahrt.</p>
<p>In der Lützowstr.bzw. um die Ecke in der Genthiner Str. befinden sich einige Möbelhäuser, Autoteile-Geschäft, Babybedarf-Großmärkte (und das Arbeitsgericht).</p>
<p>Eine nicht sehr attraktive Gegend also(-die Ausnahme ist das durch den Krieg nicht zerstörte Cafe Einstein).Der Parkplatz war also auch ein normaler  Sanitätshaus-Kunden-Parkplatz und ich fragte mich zunächst, ob das der richtige Eingang sei.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Er war es.Mein Ansprechpartner holte mich ab und gemeinsam fuhren wir mit dem Fahrstuhl in die obere Etage, da ich in einem Zelt auf der Dachterasse spielen sollte.Durch die Ausstellung mit den ausgefallensten und schicksten Bäder für den sehr großen Geldbeutel mußten wir die Harfe mit schieben-und wie immer war ich sehr froh, daß ich eine Sackkarre für die Harfe besitze.Es gab dort sogar ein Badezimmer-Sofa und Stühle in Form von alten Badewannen und einen Badezuber mit kleinem Eimer wie zu Urgroßmutters Zeiten....</p>
<p>Auf dem Weg traf ich einen meiner Lieblingsfotografen:Andre Rival, der mich auch schon fotografiert hat ( er sollte für ein Magazin einige Produkte fotografieren), auf die Frage, ob er zu Premiere in die Bar jeder Vernunft käme, antwortete er: „Nein, leider nicht, ich muß Nadja Auermann fotografieren...."</p>
<p>Aber das war ja noch nicht alles....</p>
<p>Auf einmal kam ich in einen großen Saal mit einer Bühne, Bestuhlung und einem Rang. Auf der Bühne waren Techniker zugange, die das Rednerpult für Signore Alessi (ja, genau, DER Designer!)ausleuchteten.Ich staunte über die Geräumigkeit, denn vorher war ich ja durch die enge Austellung gelaufen.</p>
<p>Ich sah mir den Saal genauer an:</p>
<p>An den Wänden waren teilweise goldene Jugendstil-Ornamente angebracht und dunkelblaue alte Wandtapeten! Alte Lüster hingen von der Decke... Oben am Rang konnte ich die Sackkarre abstellen und entdeckte Stücke alten roten -immer noch weichen-Samts, die an der Brüstung angenagelt waren. Was für eine Überraschung!</p>
<p>Meine Neugier war geweckt und ich konnte es nicht erwarten, meinen mittlerweile wieder mit anderen Dingen beschäftigten Ansprechpartner zu treffen, der mir Auskunft geben könnte-</p>
<p>Auf dem Weg zur Dachterasse sah ich noch eine winzige metallene Wendeltreppe.</p>
<p>Der Gig verlief wunderbar, es war angenehm warm (=warme Hände zum Harfe spielen!),ich saß unter einem Zelt geschützt vor der Sonne-eine Dame hatte mich schon einmal im Felix Restaurant spielen hören und freute sich, mich wiederzusehen-man sagte mir, der Kunde sei mehr als zufrieden....</p>
<p>Am Ende des Abends sah ich nun den Ansprechpartner wieder und ich fragte ihn über den Saal und das Gebäude aus und bekam nur eine Antwort: „das war mal früher der Schumann-Saal."Er schien meine Euphorie nicht so zu teilen, er hat das bestimmt schon mehr als einmal sagen müssen...</p>
<p>Nachdem ich die Harfe wieder zurück in die Bar jeder Vernunft gebracht hatte, googelte ich zu Hause im Internet und siehe da-ich fand im Archiv der Berliner Zeitung folgenden Artikel von Stefan Strauss, den ich hier gekürzt zitiere:</p>
<h3><em>"Der vergessene Saal</em></h3>
<address>Das Haus Lützowstraße 76 war Mekka für Musikliebhaber</address>
<p><em>In den prächtigen Sälen des Hauses Lützowstraße 76 fanden einst große Orchesterkonzerte und Liederabende statt. Der kleinere von beiden, der frühere Schwechte- und spätere Schumannsaal, galt zwischen 1910 und 1945 als einer der schönsten und berühmtesten Konzertsäle Berlins. Er hatte 500 Plätze und einen Rang.</em></p>
<p><em>. Die Scheinwerfer hängen noch über der Bühne, verstaubt und verschmutzt. Vergoldete Ornamente und blaue Stoffbahnen lassen den einstigen Prunk ahnen. Die Säle im Haus an der Lützowstraße 76 waren in ihrer Glanzzeit berühmt. Ihre Akustik begeisterte Musikliebhaber und Konzertkritiker gleichermaßen. "Das Klavier klang ausgezeichnet, der getragene Ton floss rund und voll in den Saal, und auch dem Gesang kamen die klanglichen Verhältnisse des Saales aufs Günstigste entgegen", hieß es in einer Konzertkritik über den Schumannsaal aus den dreißiger Jahren. "Die Akustik des Bachsaales ist wundervoll", schrieb Wilhelm Klatte, Musikprofessor der Universität </em><em>Berlin</em><em>. Die Deutsche Grammophon AG nutzte die Säle für Schallplatten- und Rundfunkaufnahmen. Auch das UFA-Sinfonieorchester spielte dort. </em></p>
<p><em>Ein Aktenlager</em></p>
<p><em>Doch der Glanz von einst ist verblasst. Heute ist der Schumannsaal ein vergessener Saal, verborgen hinter einer unscheinbaren Fassade. Wer an dem Haus vorbeigeht, ahnt nicht, was sich hinter den schmalen Fensterreihen verbirgt. Tatsächlich wissen weder Mitarbeiter des Denkmalamtes noch des Heimatmuseums Tiergarten etwas über die Konzertsäle. "Wir haben keine Ahnung", muss auch eine Sprecherin des Landesdenkmalamtes zugeben. Selbst Musikprofessoren und Orgelspezialisten fanden keine Hinweise auf die Säle in ihren Archiven. </em></p>
<p><em>In der verriegelten Toreinfahrt hängen heute noch goldglänzende Mosaikbilder. Davor stehen hohe Regale mit neuen Toilettenbecken und Wascharmaturen. Sie gehören der Sanitär- und Heizungsfirma Bergmann &#38; Franz, die das Grundstück 1965 gekauft hat. Den Schumannsaal nutzt die Firma als Aktenlager, für Betriebsfeiern und kleine Empfänge. "Für den Schumann- saal", sagt Prokurist Uwe Grahl, "hat sich bisher niemand interessiert."</em></p>
<p><em>Geschichte eines Hauses // 1907 ließ der Komponist und und Dvorak-Schüler Robert Robitschek zwei Konzertsäle in der Lützowstraße 76 bauen. In den damaligen Blüther-Saal baute die Firma E. F. Walcker eine Konzertorgel mit 60 Registern. Robitschek war Direktor des nahe gelegenen Konservatoriums Klindworth-Scharwenka in der Genthiner Straße. Die Musikschüler und Komponisten nutzten die Säle für Proben und Konzertaufführungen Zu ihnen gehörten auch Paul Dessau und Hanns Eisler.</em></p>
<p><em>1923 übernahm Oskar Schwalm das Haus. Das Konservatorium litt unter der Weltwirtschaftskrise und musste Räume aufgeben.</em></p>
<p><em>1928 gab es drei Säle im Haus: der Feurig-Saal (330 Plätze) befand sich im Erdgeschoss, der Bachsaal (1 162 Plätze) und der Schwechte-Saal (500 Plätze) lagen darüber.</em></p>
<p><em>1932 wurde der Feurig-Saal geschlossen. Schwalm war verschuldet und beklagte gegenüber der Baupolizei die "trostlose Geschäftslage". Er konnte Reparaturen im Haus nicht mehr bezahlen.</em></p>
<p><em>1942, nach Schwalms Tod, kaufte die Stadt </em><em>Berlin</em><em> das Haus für 320 000 Reichsmark. Der Schwechte-Saal wurde in Schumannsaal umbenannt. Die Stadt setzte einen Zwangsverwalter ein und vermietete die Säle auch für Konzertaufnahmen.</em></p>
<p><em>1945 wurde das Dach des Schumannsaales bei Bombardierungen stark beschädigt. Den Bachsaal nutzte die Möbelfirma Dahlke nach dem Krieg als Möbellager.</em></p>
<p><em>1949 zerstörte ein Großbrand etwa 700 Quadratmeter Lagerfläche und Möbel auf dem Gelände. Dabei wurde auch der Bachsaal zerstört.</em></p>
<p><em>1950 ließ das Bezirksamt Tiergarten das vom Krieg beschädigte Dach des Schumannsaales notdürftig reparieren.</em></p>
<p><em>1965 kaufte die Firma Bergmann &#38; Franz das Grundstück für 630 000 Mark vom Land </em><em>Berlin</em><em>."</em></p>
<p>Das war also das Geheimnis des Sanitätshauses! Die Gäste sind bestimmt früher vor oder nach den Konzerten ins Café Einstein gegangen-ich habe bildlich vor Augen, wie der Saal wohl ausgesehen haben mag und bin begeistert, an welchen Orten ich Harfe spielen darf!</p>

<p>I was in my friend's kitchen the other day and heard the sound of his kettle whistling. The crescending sound brought me back to when I was child and this was the one regular sound- a constant soundtrack to our household.</p>
<p>It struck me then, how much I miss this sound. That shrill whistle. The one that starts tiny and reaches a maximum high, demanding attention. Like a schoolbell that signals the end of the school day, this instantly recognisable sound is like the kitchen version of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Pavlov" target="_blank">Pavlov's bell</a>. <a title="Nice cup of tea and sit down" href="http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/" target="_blank">A cuppa </a>is about to be made.</p>
<p>I have not had a stove kettle for years now. My kitchen is filled with appliances that make electronic bleeps. The microwave that goes <em>teeeet teeeeet teeeeeet </em>when it's done with reheating your food, the oven that goes <em>beeeeeeep</em> when your muffins are ready. None with the charm of the stove kettle.</p>
<p>Since having dinner the other day, I have had the sound of the whistling kettle in my head and my eye on this little <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&#38;hl=en&#38;rlz=&#38;q=alessi+bird+whistle&#38;meta=" target="_blank">beauty</a> by <a title="Alessi" href="http://www.alessi.com/" target="_blank">Alessi</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Announcing a blog is a bit like announcing the birth of a new child, you don't know what it will turn out like, or how many gifts you will receive from your family. I have never had a child.  <b>Welcome to our new blog...</b><font color="#ff0000"><b> The Russian Club</b></font>, which will basically be about stuff that we have been up to, and things that excite our young male brains.</p>
<p>I am going to start by announcing the fact that we have just recorded a video for our first release which will be Black Morning... It was great funnish, and we learned how to mime. Miming is actually HELL. Not only did we have to mime, but we had to mime in slow motion. This turned out to be extremely difficult, yet incredible fun! The idea behind the video, was that director <font color="#0000ff"><b>Christian</b></font> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fenm39ueK04" target="_blank">[who is responsible for this quite impressive video]</a> would record the footage at half speed, with us miming along.. like over exaggerating snail musicians, and then eventually speed everything up including the audio, to the original speed [Headfuck]. Meaning that basically, we will look like nutters. I'll post up the video when the wonderful Christian has finished working his ass off editing it all together!</p>
<p>Here are some photos from the shoot, which was staged in a big warehouse on Old St, in London.... and turned out to be a scene of remarkable professionalism, eventually turning into whiskey swigging debauchery ya...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Hier, en discutant Surf avec Masa et Xnnx, je me suis souvenu que j'avais quelques photos du "Fresh Surfer" sur mon PC ;) Le Fresh Surfer de Bref WC est un Nettoyant WC + Désodorisant conçu et déssiné par la célèbre boîte de design italienne <a target="_blank" href="http://www.alessi.com/" title="Alessi">Alessi</a>. J'avais acheté ce surfer car je trouvais tous les autres nettoyants WC assez moches et celui-là se démarquait niveau design et fun, de plus, comme j'aime bien Alessi, c'était parfait ;) Il me semble qu'il existe d'autres modèles dans cette collection (à vérifier), en tout cas, j'aime bien cette initiative où comment intégrer une petite touche de design sur des objets ultra classiques et formatés, sympa non? ;) Et vous, chers lecteurs, qu'en pensez vous?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.alessi-shop.com/ashop-us/home.php?lang=US">Neste site</a>, existem centenas de objetos feitos por um designer especialmente para cozinha. Claro, nada que vá fazer alguma diferença, mas que são bons presentes e enfeitam a cozinha.<br />
Alguns exemplos das coisas que achei bonitinhas sem preços exorbitantes (por que chef até é rico, mas cozinheiro é sempre pobre):<br />
<a href="http://www.alessi.com/catalogo/oggetto/Diabolix/bottle+opener/616/3389/">O primeiro</a> é o com melhor preço:<br />
<a href="http://banquete.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/new_prod_diabolix.jpg" title="Abridor de garrafas"><img src="http://banquete.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/new_prod_diabolix.jpg" alt="Abridor de garrafas" /></a></p>
<p>e <a href="http://www.alessi-shop.com/ashop-us/design-products/bar-and-wines-90149/corkscrew-anna-g-3354.html">este aqui</a>, não tão barato:<br />
<a href="http://banquete.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/709.jpg" title="Saca-rolhas"><img src="http://banquete.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/709.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Saca-rolhas" /></a>.<br />
Por último <a href="http://www.alessi.com/catalogo/oggetto/Parrot/sommelier+corkscrew/1878/3377/">este</a> que achei fofinho, mas muito caro:<br />
<a href="http://banquete.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/7345_medium_plus.jpg" title="Saca-rolhas"><img src="http://banquete.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/7345_medium_plus.jpg" alt="Saca-rolhas" /></a></p>

<p>i used to spend a few weeks a summer with two of my younger cousins in palo alto when they would visit their grandmother and uncles. i remember their grandmother always had a hard boiled egg ready for my youngest cousin every morning for breakfast. she would serve the egg to him with a spoon on a flat plate. at just 5 years old, my little cousin would usually end up chasing the egg around on the dining table. well if he had <a href="http://www.unicahome.com/p4070/alessi/cico-eggcup-with-salt-castor-and-spoon.html" target="_blank">this little guy</a> here he wouldn't have had that problem!</p>
<p>the 'cico' eggcup with salt castor and spoon designed by <a href="http://www.alessi.com/catalogo/autore/Giovannoni+Stefano/60" target="_blank">stefano giovannoni for alessi</a> is plastic so kids definitely can't break it. the little baseball cap that cico wears is actually a salt shaker so your egg won't taste too bland. the eggcup is $15 and comes in <a href="http://www.unicahome.com/products/small/4070.DD7284BD.jpg" target="_blank">blue</a>, <a href="http://www.unicahome.com/products/small/4070.132F7FD4.jpg" target="_blank">yellow</a>, <a href="http://www.unicahome.com/products/small/4070.ACD5890B.jpg" target="_blank">pink</a>, or <a href="http://www.unicahome.com/products/small/4070.05D04476.jpg" target="_blank">green</a>.</p>

<p>In the Alessi 2008 Spring/Summer collection is the new Pop up bottle opener.This beautiful piece is designed by Giovanni Alessi Anghini, great-grandson of Giovanni Alessi, founder of the company. It should also be no surprise that Giovanni Jr. has put in his time at Stefano Giovannoni’s Milan studio, and is now coming into his own.</p>

<p>Apparently this mirror polished stainless steel bulb of a bottle opener has a magnet within that holds onto the cap once you push down to open a bottle</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Per il giorno del mio compleanno mia moglie consapevole ormai da un po' di tempo della mia passione mi ha fatto un regalo veramente speciale. Un oggetto, che appena ne avevo sentito parlare, era diventato un culto. Uno strumento che mancava e che forse non se ne potrà più fare a meno: il Taste-Huile, o volgarmente detto degusta olio.</p>
<p><a href="http://samperi.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/dscn2448.jpg" title="Taste-Huile"></p>

<p></a></p>
<p>Lorenzo Piccione di <a href="http://www.pianogrillo.it/" title="Pianogrillo" target="_blank">Pianogrillo </a>e Kobi Wiesendager hanno creato il calice dell'olio. Funzionale e bello.<br />
La produzione e la commercializzazione è a cura di <a href="http://www.alessi.it/" title="Alessi" target="_blank">Alessi</a>.</p>

<p>Il <a target="_blank" href="http://blogdome.wordpress.com/2007/08/09/iphone/">9 agosto</a> scrissi che per Natale mi sarei ragalato l'i-phone. Ma <a target="_blank" href="http://www.lastampa.it/_web/cmstp/tmplrubriche/tecnologia/grubrica.asp?ID_blog=30&#38;ID_articolo=3733&#38;ID_sezione=38&#38;sezione=News">l'invenzione dell'anno</a>, in Italia non è ancora in vendita e bisognerà attendere ancora qualche mese (anche se qualche <a target="_blank" href="http://blogdome.wordpress.com/2007/10/17/iphone-in-italia/">escamotage</a> c'è!). Non c'è nulla di ufficiale, ma pare che in primavera potremo soddisfare il desiderio.</p>
<p>E allora ecco il regalo che mi son fatto. Il presepe di Alessi, regalo dello scorso anno, si è popolato di altri personaggi in ceramica... Natalino, Hal Freddo, Christmas Cow Boy (design Massimo Giacon), Celestino e Lieto (design di Miriam Mirri), Pinocchio (design di Marcello Jori).</p>
<p>Naturalmente ringrazio tutti coloro che mi hanno fatto un dono, inviato un sms una mail o un biglietto di auguri.</p>
<p><em>P.S. Per chi volesse farsi un piccolo regalo in questi giorni di festa... è possibile rivedere l'intervista di Fabio Fazio a Enzo Bianchi, priore della comunità di Bose, andata in onda lo scorso 23 dicembre su Rai 3. La festa del Natale, la gioia, il peccato, il dialogo, il silenzio sono i temi trattati. Piacevole ed interessante. </em><a target="_blank" href="http://www.chetempochefa.rai.it/TE_videoteca/1,10916,1084870,00.html"><em>Buona visione!</em></a></p>

Suivi d'un choc : l'Experimental (avec un enorme E) s'applique aussi au folk avec <a href="http://www.myspace.com/davidthomasbroughton">David Thomas Broughton</a>. Voix incroyable, a la fois aerienne et profonde. Maitrise incontestees de la <span style="font-style:italic;">loop pedal</span>, tres bon guitariste. Mais il vient du futur. De tres loin. Ou bien d'une autre dimension. D'un endroit ou un larsen de 5 minutes a sa place. Bienvenue aux rythmes bizarres, aux dissonances, aux mille-feuilles sonores. Ce mec a un vrai talent, mais il faut s'accrocher ! En tout cas c'est tres difficile a decrire.</p>

Nos chouchous de <a href="http://www.myspace.com/slowclub">Slow Club</a> debarquent ensuite avec leur bonne humeur habituelle. Et 3 nouvelles chansons, joli cadeau pour le public. Mais leur set est trop court, vivement leur prochain vrai concert !</p>

Pour finir, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/simplekidmusic">Simple Kid</a> arrive seul avec guitare, banjo, harmonica, mac pro pour la ryhtmique et videoprojecteur. Musique tres sympa, des belles chansons, des jolis textes (ecoutez Serotonin). Cote image, il varie les plaisirs avec clips, karaokes, ou tout simplement affichage sans complexe de sa piste rythmique.</p>

Bon point pour le <a href="http://www.endoftheroadfestival.com/">End of the Road Festival</a> qui nous gate a la sortie avec plein de jolis magazines de musique et d'enormes flyers accompagnes de CDs... On va ecouter tout ca dans l'Eurostar, et peut-etre reserver nos billets pour l'edition 2008 histoire d'ajouter un peu de folk dans nos oreilles :D<br />
Bref une bonne soiree pour terminer l'annee. Soyez bien sages, et a l'annee prochaine !</p>

<p align="left">Die Coban RS03 ist Alessi´s erstes elektrisches Küchengerät und kam erst nach einer langen Phase der Erwägung auf den Markt - und wurde gleich durch den Gewinn des Goldener Kompass Award bestätigt. Coban ist eine der wenigen Espressomaschinen am Markt die nahezu vollständig aus massivem Metall  hergestellt wird. Coban ist ins zwei Varianten erhältlich - mit und ohne integrierter Kaffeemühle. Modell RS03 wird ohne integrierter Mühle geliefert. Design: Richard Sapper, 1997. Die Maschine gefällt uns sehr gut, macht aber nicht den besten Kaffee.</p>
