The showroom will be open everyday on appointment for sales, starting next week. The only missing ingredient is now a ‘Showroom Manager’, and for this purpose we’re examining the last curricula that get submitted to us through the job opportunity posted here (italian language required).

Lupi on El Paìs newspaper (Spain)

by giuli 4 May 2010

Raul Lupiañez Martinez, a.k.a. Lupi, friend and lazy rider, just got interviewed on the spanish newspaper El Paìs. I was there for a visit and to shoot some skating with him, and my friend Gianluca Battista, reporter for El Paìs, photographed our routine and proposed the article to the newspaper, that approved and sent a jounalist after Lupi.

The article tells us how Barcellona became the european mecca of skateboarding, the Hollywood of el patìn. Shows us how this industry brings money and tourism to the city of Gaudì, not only worn out ledges and noise.

Ryan Sheckler Omni Tech action figure

by GroS 4 May 2010

I never liked the puppets show, even if i can say that the man who moves it, needs a lot of skills. I think is more about the stories, dragon, princess….With this new one it’s gonna be a pleasure to be a puppeteer, even if you don’t kill no one!
The toy is called omni tech figure and cost 19,95. Ryan Sheckler is the first of the pro series, split in street, vert and legend. Those ones gonna cost a little bit more and you can vote your favorite skater and put him on the team. 

Link or Chain?

Link or Chain?

It took two months and several e-mails to dismiss my Linkedin account. I am not really into social networks, I just use Last.fm, that’s it. When I realized that people were still looking for me on an old Linkedin account that I had opened in 2000 on Jep advice and later abandoned, I decided to close it. But this hasn’t been easy at all. This is the e-mail that I had to write in the end to the Linkedin guys to achieve what I wanted.

To whom that might concern,
I am very, very disappointed to find out that, despite my numerous e-mails and after more than two months since my first request to dismiss it, my Linkedin account is still visible. I am really sorry to write this, but if my account is not going to be removed immediately I’ll have to use every legal mean in my possess against this illigal violation of my privacy.
Regards
Lorenzo Bini

Innse: una battaglia vinta.

by GroS 4 May 2010

innse_operai_brindano_operai_contro--400x30014 mesi di occupazione e una settimana su un carro ponte per gli operai della Innse di Milano. Tutto per difendere il loro posto di lavoro, e ce l’hanno fatta. Sono passati dall’essere sotto sgombero (chiaramente ad agosto quando tutti sono belli tranquilli e in vacanza), ad avere di nuovo il loro posto di lavoro, si perchè l’imprenditore bresciano Attilio Camozzi ha rilevato l’azienda con gli operai. Gente che tiene così tanto al proprio posto di lavoro merita di lavorare. Per quanto mi riguarda i 4 operai che da una settimana erano sul carro ponte, sono gli eroi di quest’estate e spero che queste quattro persone abbiano delle famiglie con dei figli, cosicchè possano andare in giro a testa alta fieri dei loro padri. Un grande esempio di lotta operaia. clicca qui per la news
