The Mighty Afternoon Nap

The dreadful afternoon nap isn’t as bad as we think: it restores our mind and body, it raises alertness and helps memorization and responsiveness. We should accept it if it feels good for us, trying to change the social perception of it in order to improve the quality of our lives.

Intense Minimalism: designing the website

Designing something, from big things to smaller ones, requires a good process and attention to details. From concept to UX Design, from visual design to development (HTML5, jQuery, 960.gs, Microformats), this is what I did to build this website.

Defining an identity, a professional identity, is an hard task. It’s even harder when you’ve got many interests. I think that a good way to think at it is “The Elevator Pitch of Yourself”, or, in Twitter times, “a 140 characters description of Yourself”. It isn’t easy, because you can’t be too abstract, nor too concrete. And you have to show much of you in so little space.
