Icaro Doria, simply a genius








Perhaps you don't know Icaro Doria. Frankly I didn't know him too, before I saw some of the creations of this excellent Brazilian artist.

The pictures, for those who know English, speak for themselves ... in my opinion this idea is original and brilliant!

In addition to the one below, you can find other flags (who report the tragic and harsh realities of some countries) at this address:

The most repeated penalty in soccer history








Do you believe in me if I tell you that a soccer penalty was repeated 6 times ?


The fact happens during Serbia-Tunisia football match held in 2004 in Athens, during the last Olympic Games. Serbia and Tunisia were 1-1 draw, but at 35th minute of the second half the Tahitian referee Charles Ariiotima awards a penalty to Tunisia: forward Mohamed Jedidi places the ball and score, but the goal was annulled because, according to the referee, his teammates had entered in the area before the shot. The penalty is repeated two more times and set aside for the same reason.

On the fourth attempt, the Serbian goalkeeper Nikola Milojevic blocked the ball, but the penalty is invalid because his teammates have come earlier than expected in the penalty area. The fifth penalty was saved and then canceled because of irregularities, and only at the sixth attempt the referee awards the goal. The game ended 3-2 for Tunisia.

Watch the video below, it's incredible:

How to bypass proxy server








Come bypassare proxy aziendali ed unversitari,  come aggirare proxy aziendaleWe've often had to bypass (override) office, school or university proxy server, to visit sites with access denied because inserted in the "black list" of forbidden web address, as Facebook, Myspace, Youtube and more.


We could use anonymous proxies, but before that solution we could try a trick to use Google directly as if it were a proxy, using the "translate" function.

For sites in English just copy and paste the address:

http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=it|en&u=www.blockedsite.com

where www.blockedsite.com is web page you want to visit and with access denied.


In this way, the office / school proxy will connect to Google and not the blocked site, so it'll be easy navigation.

Unfortunately the trick sometimes does not work, and this happens when proxy blocks address that contains certain word in the black list (eg. Facebook, Myspace, and so on).
n these cases you can use some proxies for anonymous surfing; here are some of them:

Best film ever made in cinema history








On the web there are several sites where you can see the chart of the best film ever made in cinema history.

When I say "best" I mean "most appreciated" by the public, expressing their opinion disinterested (often does not coincide with the critics).


Of course these charts are not the same for each site, but are based on the average of the votes from Internet users for a particular film.

Here we report some links where you can see the full rankings.



It's very useful when you decide to go to cinema or to rent a dvd: no more waste of money!!!

The Ebay Song - Lyrics and Video








Almost everything has been said about Ebay, but a song about this auction site was still missing.

The song had been composed by two guys with almond eyes ... here is the text (in English) with its video from Youtube:


Com'on everybody!:

A used ... pink bathrobe / A rare ... mint snowglobe
A Smurf ... TV tray / I bought on eBay

My house ... is filled with this crap / Shows up in bubble wrap
Most every day / What I bought on eBay

Tell me why (I need another pet rock) / Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock)
Tell me why (I bid on Shatner's old toupee) / They had it on eBay

I'll buy ... your knick-knack / Just check ... my feedback
"A++!" they all say
/ They love me on eBay

Gonna buy (a slightly-damaged golf bag)
/ Gonna buy (some Beanie Babies, new with tag)
(From some guy) I've never met in Norway
/ Found him on eBay

I am the type who is liable to snipe you
/ With two seconds left to go, whoa
Got Paypal or Visa, what ever'll please
/ As long as I've got the dough

I'll buy ... your tchotchkes
/ Sell me ... your watch, please
I'll buy (I'll buy, I'll buy, I'll buy ...)
/ I'm highest bidder now

(Junk keeps arriving in the mail)
/ (From that worldwide garage sale) (Dukes Of Hazzard ashtray)
(Hey! A Dukes Of Hazzard ashtray)
/ Oh yeah ... (I bought it on eBay)

Wanna buy (a PacMan Fever lunchbox)
/ Wanna buy (a case of vintage tube socks)
Wanna buy (a Kleenex used by Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre)
/ (Found it on eBay)

Wanna buy (that Farrah Fawcett poster)
/ (Pez dispensers and a toaster)
(Don't know why ... the kind of stuff you'd throw away)
/ (I'll buy on eBay)

What I bought on eBay-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y

Find cheap accommondations in Italy








How many times have you had to book hotel, hotel, guesthouse, bed and breakfast and you wondered "How can I find a cheap nice apartment?".

On the web there are many sites specialized in finding accommodations in Italy.

With regard to accommodations in Italy, I would report the following web sites:



All the sites allow you to see photos of accommodations; first 3 sites allow to book by credit card, the fourth is specialized in bed and breakfast in Italy, while the last site allows to book free rooms at the last minute.


Some personal examples? I booked a room in a 3 star hotel in Rome near the Termini railway station, including breakfast at 35 euro.
Or a B & B in Ravenna and one near Venice, double room with breakfast and private bathroom, 40 euro all inclusive.

Create image from random photos with Webglobber








I have found a nice free software called Webglobber (not Webblogger or Weblogger, as you could think...).


This software is as genial as useless: it downloads from web random photos and merge them into one image, that is final result.

Here you can find a small image's gallery and the program installer to download:

On the right, my first work!

Rocky IV - Training Video








There are scenes of a film that will remain in the head forever.
Two of my favorites of all times are related to the training of Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) in "Rocky IV", to preparing for the boxe match against Ivan Drago.

It 's fantastic the parallelism between the two types of training and the music is perfect.
Which type of training do you prefer?
