Today I lost my Hero.
Steve Jobs, the man whose life has inspired mine since I started to know him and his amazing vision, has died due to pancreatic cancer (cop off the “PC killed Steve jokes… there’s no fun in this at all, thank you) and I feel so null and void inside.
Till I realize what Steve has inspired me and millions of others with through his powerful, restless imagination, and work and accomplishments, well that won’t ever die, nor fade.
Ever.
That’s the legacy of a man whose importance stands there with geniuses of history of humanity.
Einstein is Steve’s peer.
Gandhi is Steve’s peer.
Newton is Steve’s peer.
Leonardo is Steve’s peer.
This is the range of Steve Jobs.
There are tons of words I could say, and tons of images and pieces of writing I could address you to…
But always I think of these two whenever I think of Steve and who he was, and IS STILL, because in them you can feel the power of dreaming he had and knew he could share to push many other into breaking barriers, never feel lazy to try and try and try until they could make that dream a REALITY.
And beyond.
Because if there’s a thing that Steve has taught me and many others to do, that’s the fact you don’t ever have to let things drag you down, slow you down, blur you off.
Life is precious… too precious to waste it in mourning and regrets.
He said that death is the greatest inventions because it gives rooms for NEW.
Steve wouldn’t like us to waste not even a second crying for him, if that second could be devoted by us to make our dreams become true.
So in this day which is forever sad for me, I leave you with Steve’s Stanford University Addressing, and with the amazing Think Different commercial he made with Ridley Scott.
I do it because in his charisma and words and LIFE you can reckon how far a man’s imagination can reach and make, so that you all along me can keep honoring Steve and his touch on humanity by spreading THAT vision which is a pure message of HOPE and trust in the best qualities of human beings (and God knows how much we need such a positive perspective on things in such dire and dark days).
Steve Jobs. 1955-2011.
WORLD’s HERO.
MY HERO.
Goodbye and Thank You.
The amazing Ridley Scott’s commercial, and the impeccable and fast forward Apple style:
Missus Z.

Oh… how awesome!!!!!!
Today could be one of the best days of the year!!!!
Back after days of COMPLETE no connection (I got hacked past Wednesday in a very obnoxious way… obnoxious especially because it faked I could have ANY darn interest in THE Voice Of Fuckery… Yikes!!! I despise despise despise all about any reality tv show, ESPECIALLY when it butchers THE art of MUSIC!!! The day I will ever watch that thing may the Judgement Day come and bury me down in flames!), today from a very quiet lab, as my tests roll on, I HAVE to get you all on the amazingness that has been the WHOLE Heineken Jammin Festival 2011 experience, and SO much more that is going on in these beautiful – although rainy – hours.
In so many ways, I loved to be not connected because I got even more pleasures out of being with my friends and lover in such awesome spaces and events.
I also had some wild super rewarding sex plays in the mud and washed up through rain which was SUPERBLY satisfying.
Dirrrrrrrt in the best way 😉
I just took a space to read this coming from Save The Children (for obvious reasons) to honor Gwen Stefani and No Doubts efforts for Japan Relief. YOU ROCK guys. YOU ROCK GWEN!!!
Three words: WE MET COLDPLAY (that of course wasn’t my first time, but it always is a FINE pleasure, especially when Guy is all chatty. He’s a dreamboat and always will be), and this time even Karim admitted he liked them – in that break AND especially for their rocking performance on stage.
I think it could all stop there if that were NOT actually the peak.
The peak?
I TALKED WITH LIAM GALLAGHER.
THAT is the peak and forever will be (though I really think he was intimidated by both my and K’s height… not that he would EVER admit it, of course).
My Oasis-Mania will always EQUALLY love both brothers, because one has THE most amazing raspy voice of his generation, and the other the most amazing easy writing skills (can’t wait for Noel’s solo album to drop… and while we’re at it, happy incoming marriage Noel!!!).
The days of the Heineken Jammin have been awesome… maybe not everybody loved the line-up as we did, but to me one of the peaks WAS DEFINITELY FABRI FIBRA!!!!
We re-met him (no big deal… he’s a homie ;)) as well, and actually as usual I had a blast.
We loved especially day one, even though weather wasn’t bright (but during the PERFECT Coldplay set, even rain stop bothering because NOTHING had to mess with the complete bliss that their set was. Gosh, they get better and better and better as performers every single time: the whole thousands and thousands were all so transfixed… males, females – because they have as many males fans as they have females, for God’s grace – everyone just stated the obvious: COLDPLAY are this generation’s U2. End of it. Another level, yep).
Cremonini and Elbow, the amazing Verdena, Negramaro (on second day) were really really good too.
Vasco Rossi on third day is a giver, I mean, Vasco is always a great fun live… but the rest of day three and some of day two was really a filler.
Taylor Momsen should just model because her music SUCKS; then… All Time Low??? REALLY???
Painful awfulness.
Never call them back again (not merely at this festival… just don’t let them come back in Italy ALTOGETHER, for the sake of music!).
Before we took off for the four days of Veneto’s magic we drowned in more bliss thanx to Apple and Steve Jobs, who revealed to the world the news about US:
Watch the whole of the Keynote from Apple Site:
I adore Steve Jobs.
He is what I’d love to become, as I wrote, he’s an imaginative genius ahead of his time and full of dreaming power, without being naive or empty for it.
Steve… I suffer seeing you so weak and consumed… you’ll NEVER know how good you did for the world and… ME.
Love You.
Keeping up with amazingness of the past few days. we had to leave Venice soon on Sunday because Ladies and Gentlemen we had to VOTE for the Referendums (please let the Quorum be reached!!!).
This absolutely fantastic video from Sora Cesira, with its distinctive half Italian-English mash up, tells everything:
Genius again.
The total bliss ensued when this morning, just as I had hoped yesterday before getting some deserved rest, when I woke up to the GREAT news that LeBron(ze) James once again proved himself as the BIGGEST LOSER ever and choked again, overshadowed by Dirk Novitzky‘s TRUE class and losing the ring (he will never get) in favor of the very deserving Dallas Mavericks.
AMAZING.
Amazing.
AAAAAMMMMAAAZZZING.
This picture also is genius and it will keep me going smirking ALL day:
I’m very happy of the MEAT demise: I am sorry for Wade, who’s a great champion (in Dirk’s league), but you know my un-appreciativeness of Bronzey’s HYPE is as vast as sky and I hope finally it will stop, after the further proof that he simply CANNOT WIN.
He’s a choker, a loser, and will NEVER ever win, no matter how many (better than him) players he will surround himself with, he has NOT *that* factor that makes people win (read: COJONES).
He’s NOT a champion. He’s just a very good player with a set of natural skills that he NEVER developed rightly because he’s a lazy unfocused PRICK.
Yes.
This is what he is, because the only thing that holds himself from success is… HIMSELF.
What a waste of human being (You know I consider CRIMINAL when great talents get wasted due to people’s characterial FLAWS… it’s a damage to humanity to me, and let alone how can I take such a low form of life can get HYPED??? Please… shut up and hide under rocks. Losers will remain losers forever, because it’s in themselves the problem, and they just won’t solve that).
Stop hoping he will blossom because at 26 he’s starting to get old and stale ALREADY and should be ashamed the way he lost once again, once more.
Awwwwwwwww. The Laker Fan in me REJOICES so much.
I had really hoped a lot this would happen, and I am so delighted my fears past post were overcome by events 🙂
Today at lab, though, something else arrived that in a way made me very happy (I was thinking about buying it in Japan once there for marriage, because my record collection gotta remain intact a and complete NO matter THE FUCKERY that thing currently making me bleed), but on the other end still signify for some weeks more I can’t bend over that liking.
I can’t be derogatory to my life’s principles.
That means also (among brackets) that although I HAVE listened (once) to the song Adam and Gym Class Heroes did, Stereo Hearts (it’s a cute, unarming song… not a masterpiece, because NOTHING produced by those who write for KESHA and Britney Spears could ever be, but it’s a nice generically cute happy pop summer song that surely will do well everywhere, because generic is what rules the charts nowadays, if you exclude AWESOME Adele), and I reckon is a nice effort (nowhere near as good as the real rock song Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall, of course, but still a sweet happy pop urban song), I won’t buy the song until The Fuckery Voice ends, no matter if technically the song will be available TOMORROW from iTunes (this breaks a LONG habit, where I would buy ANYTHING off from any of Maroon 5 guys even before listening to the thing, JUST because they’d deserve… but now my fanship has way reduced, due to the musical crime Adam did when he sold his artistry out to a reality tv show… sorry, this is not amendable for me, and it never will. That super status is forever lost in my book, and it won’t come back, because I can’t really take him any seriously anymore, no matter his unmistakable talent and his beautiful voice…):
But I mean… confront the above (cute, I admit it) song with a real rock song full of guitars and real musical play, and with WAY better substance, then draw your conclusion on why I feel so let down about somebody after all:
I mean… there’s NO comparison regarding real artistry quality between these two tracks right?
It doesn’t mean Stereo Hearts won’t succeed (I think it will, and I hope it will because Adam NEEDS a hit after all) but have you looked what is in the chart these days? Kesha? Katy Perry? Taio Cruz? PITBULL???? If that’s what people buy, let me be with the music people DON’T buy, all way long (even if I am sure ETIAW will be bought a LOT everywhere, because it’s just too much of a good song anyway).
Oh well… a least so far Adam didn’t dare to ruin completely his credibility and duet with Justin Bieber or a Jonas Brother… but the way he’s now, I won’t be surprised when he would (ah, the good times when duets were with REAL people like Alicia Keys are forever gone, aren’t they?… what a shame…).
Anyway, back to the gift I got sent.
My Chinese partners sent me this as a present this morning ( they wanted to be kind after I served them with boat rides and Italian Sea last month… cute).
Hands All Over ASIAN Tour Edition, which is a CD + DVD.
They also sent me a bid guitar. That I will immediately give to Karim.
Way to keep me cringe over what has gone that won’t return (namely the pure unaffected joy of having special M5 items, when I was proud of them…).
Lucky me, the mail was cute today though most especially because Radiohead FULL package for The King Of Limbs arrived (that’s what I call music…) ;).
That saved me someway.
And kept the mood just as perfect as it can get.
Now we just need a QUORUM.
Do it, Italy.
Do it.
I trust you 😉
Love, Miss Z. 🙂
Magic of Summer approaches

Is it me, or this massive July heat that spreads over Lombardia and makes even Milan people long for a CityBeach among concrete buildings makes you dream about sea&suntan&holidays like… 24/7?
Today at work is being insane… my lunch break was all about eating an icecream, and starting uploading this (I write pieces of posts in different moments and then I put them together when there are not specific news to report, so imagining tomorrow as well will be like today, namely HECTIC and FILLED, I better put online this before everything gets old ;))
I’m really into incoming holidays.
Yup.
It takes just three weeks… less than those…
And then all I want to know about will be how to rock my boat in our Summer Cruise (as I promised, I will take on my holidays Noah so I will keep *some* quick blog updates. Just because I can be *SO* kind… ;))
But yeah… I’m getting lazy and I cannot wait for being free from work for 4 weeks.
Is THAT phase of the year when all my working tasks start to take a toll.
Actually I would have liked to attend one more last week, because that would have felt not much as work, but more like a wonderful experience.
Dad was in Turin for ESOF and he got to attend of course Nobel Ada Yonath‘s lecture.
Now that’s a woman who is inspirational to me, as a chemist, as a person, as a scientist… as a female… as EVERYTHING.
I imagine many of you cannot be chemists and they have no idea who Ada is, but take a rapid look at THIS, at least. The future of our next better lives are in her studies:
To balance this “Quark” moment I step back of a bunch of hours, congratulating of course Spain for their awesome acheivement in the World Cup Final.
Paulpo Paul was right:
Beside that, know that Paulpo Paul is retiring (excerpt from the hilarious DLISTED site, which I adore…)
I actually saw excerpts of the final only, because when it was played we were at LaScala watching the awesome Béjart version of The Kabuki.
It has been so emotional and beautiful…
During the whole ballet, Karim and I would caress one another feeling the Japanese magic all over again.
We kept writing on one another’s hand skin “I love you” and “Let’s go back to Japan soon” 🙂
I adore that we adore traveling to the same places JUST the same 😉
Talkin about traveling.
One person who should NOT travel is Derek Fisher.
Derek… do not even think about leaving Los Angeles… and Lakers, please stop tease and sign him straight back.
Derek is Laker for life.
Don’t kid.
DON’T.
UPDATE: Of course Derek Fisher STAYS with The Lakers. just because there could be no other place like LakersDome for him. And of course the reason and the man he couldn’t leave for is the one and only, the amazing God of Basketball, Kobe Bean Bryant :)
Talkin about my adored Kobe, yesterday I was going to bed, happy to know Derek was staying with us… and just before turning tv off, Sky showed this, that a lovely soul put over YouTube straight for my delight.
Okay, the non italians won’t get it, but I get amazed at Kobe’s GREAT italian accent and always captivated by his beautiful voice.
My one and only hero, upset because Italy SUCKED in the cup 😉 (Kobe, angel of my life… it was all logically expectable… none of those puppets are like YOU…):
Of course, Kobe is a MilanAC supporter. I mean. OF COURSE. I am… he is ;). Just logic: great minds think alike 😉 (I also thought Germany could have won, Kobe, but in the end, Spain deserved. Pau is gonna be happy and pumped ;))
Read happily about the due ending of Derek’s saga in the Lakers Blog (ah, if it weren’t this lazy these summer days I would love to write about this in there… but nope… my writing forces are zero when heat breaks the 35 C limit ;))
Right that we are on travels&people, Russian Fairy moved from native Russia allegedly back to Western territories.
Guess she was quite sad to leave her homeland (I think it’s natural… to never hear anybody speak your own language, to never get to read your alphabet for months, to stay apart from your own people for so long since so many years is definitely NOT easy. Especially when all this is being done since you were a teenager... but at least she has a great life out of that sacrifice, and that balances the minuses, right? I hope so, at least. Otherwise it would be really bad…).
Then it seems Milan isn’t the only place in Europe where heat is really hard to beat 😉 (Mash, who was in catwalks in Paris and Berlin too, told us it’s kinda cooking out. But being dark skinned, for him is better ;))
Hopefully Adam will get a better mood out from the fact she gets nearer to him again, because in the past hours he was quite… fluctuating from enthusiasm for surroundings… to Holy Wars resembling DonQuixote (Adam, honey… you can’t teach taste by snapping fingers baby… stop taking care of unimportant words around you? better ;)), to some drive down to memory lane which sounded both kinky and someway… odd?
Anyway, Adam and kinkyness go hand in hand always… I finally found what Marghe reported to me out from the VEVO show, the part about Jeremy Sisto…:
I know… I know… we love him exactly because it’s THIS unfiltered (at least, I do for that especially) 😉
The VEVO gig anyway will be broadcasted for everyone later on, so just stay tuned, okay?
Then we do love him because after some venting out, he can just take up the “virtual pen” of Twitter and say this (first reading of my morning… and it was really really sweet ;)):
“Just taking another moment to thank our fans yet again for giving us this life. 🙂” >>> All together… *AWWW* 😉
Today then Adam will wake up pretty soon cos he has to attend Mark & Mercedes show in the wee hours of the morning ( a tragedy for him ;)). Wow… maybe this time they will make him talk with Malia Obama? ;).
UPDATE >>> UPDATE >>> UPDATE :
The interview, literally one hour after broadcasted, is already HERE thanx to the incredible work of DA Queen Jennifer Coles. enjoy 😉 :
Let’s momentarily get back to the previous post though (where I already detailed the fact Bob Carmichael’s footage for Story video had won awards, ndr) to show you a couple of fan videos from the attendance of Maroon5 at Steve Job’s Tech Dream Land in Cupertino:
and this one:
Cute, innit?
Even cuter is this about the special 27th of July event that will be Fuse Broadcasted, that you know already of because I shared the news a few days ago (people also won tickets, so… ;)):
I think for today it can be enough… and anyway gotta get back working.
More incoming nex days on 😉
Have happy Tuesday folks 😉

Good morning Universe!
Okay, it’s almost midday and really, I’m updating this only for I wanna provide a service… because after yesterday pool’s party I’m totally dizzy and I think I won’t leave this room until 4 pm (we still at our friends’ place, and believe me it will need lots of cleaning when we will finally exit… What a Awesome Pool Party!!!).
Essentially I update this in the morning (and if you wonder through what, I brought Noah along at the party… ;)) for this video:
which you all have as per usual to thank Jennifer Coles for.
Just because I’m here, let’s share some further candy.
For instance we knew through Bob Carmichael that Maroon 5 Story Video got awarded:
and that’s a cool thing, innit?
Right 😉
Babies by the way shared a couple of useful bits on touring matters and also gave a shout out about cool things to catch this weekend.
Now if you wonder what Russian Fairy is up to in her native Russia, she is trying to get a tan along her lovely relatives.
Awww. 🙂 Aren’t they adorabs? That little cutie aside her might as well become a model if genetics is fair 🙂
And about Divine A., hold yourself tight on some seat because… Adam has entered the geek territory.
The Supreme Geek Territory.
I said “Geek” not “Nerd” so you all should be surprised because… well… you all know Adam isn’t exactly the most accustomed tech educated fella.
He loves tech stuff, but isn’t exactly a Geek… 😉 (like me for instance).
But… allegedly he had a blast of time this past day being hours and hours in the Mecca… In Cupertino….
Apple!!! Apple!!! Steve J…!!!
*Swoons*
You know, I’m a Apple devotee.
And I am incredibly happy in imagining Adam getting fascinated THERE about all Apple stuff.
I think it’s a wonderful thing.
Ah! 😉
Now about the uncool things, I’m still cracking and laughing about LeLoser’s switch to the Miami Heat, which from now on in my book are gonna be the Miami MEAT ;).
LeBron James‘s ego is really delusional.
They speak of him, Wade and Bosh like the best trio ever?
LMAO… yeah… *sure*…
Kobe is ready to trash all of you three again and straight: I’m glad you guys just gave him a good impulse to develop again his killer instinct.
You’re gonna be eaten by a Black Mamba, “Meat” 😉
Okay… I think for this post is all.
But stay tuned… in some hours, as long as I get access to the link, I will shout out also from this page about a special site you all should check.
It’s gonna be healthy and full of information 😉
Later peeps… enjoy your weekend! 😉
