Let’s play a game. A game of tag, to be exact. A game of virtual, technological, international tag, to be very exact. Laptop Tag is the name of the game, and you’re all invited to play along by participating in this weekend’s Weekend Project!

Laptop tag was invented by the friendly people at Proof Studio, so, without further ado, we’ll let them explain what this is all about…

Men are attracted to confidence more than tits, ass or face. There’s nothing sexier than a woman who refuses to give a fuck.

Simply beautiful..

With this article I would like to thank Scott Schuman for the great blog he’s running. It has been and it will always be a fashion inspiration for me.

I strongly recommend that you check out The Sartorialist.

Here’s how the Lunch for 25 idea came to life:

About a year ago, Scott and I were sitting at a small Trattoria in Florence. The place looked amazing– not only the simple and traditional decor, but also the irreproducible Italian atmosphere and overall elegance of the gentlemen.

“Doesn’t this place look like the best fashion story ever?” I asked Scott.

“Yes!” He said, “Real, cool, diverse– It’s like if all the best dressed guys I know got together for lunch….. We should just do that! Get my favorite guys together in one room, it would be so much fun. These guys have so much in common and yet, for most of them, their paths never cross. Just imagine, someone like Gianluca, with his dreadlocks and modern-minimalist aesthetic sitting next to Lino, with his old-school Italian charm…. Mr. Kurino and Simone Righi discussing their first suit, Kanye and Terron talking about whatever it is those two super funny characters could dream up… I’m just guessing, but I bet these guys would really hit it off. What a great way to forge new friendships.”

“Scott… You should do it!!!” the idea sounded fantastic to me.

And that’s what Scott did. I can tell you, I was so jealous not to be in Florence for The Inaugural Sartorialist Lunch. But, here are a few photographs and (at 4pm) a video to let you share the first of what we hope will become a biannual event that grows every year through a continually increasing diversity of style and deepening camaraderie between friends.

Our time together is just never quite enough…

All you see is everything you want to have…

During and after the official black out day, I was surprised to find out that a lot of people discovered what’s actually SOPA/PIPA only after visiting Wikipedia. Ridiculous if you ask me, but on the other hand this is how much we actually care about politics. I am afraid that we lost faith in politics, but what makes things worse is that politics and politicians are the ones that actually control what gets passed and what not.

I sincerely hope that the SOPA/PIPA “situation” will help raise awareness about the fact that a lot of bills are being passed (in any congress/parliament), and only after a while we ask ourselves: “When did that happen?”.

Here’s a video from Ted, explaining more about why SOPA/POPA are a really bad idea.

What does a bill like PIPA/SOPA mean to our shareable world? At the TED offices, Clay Shirky delivers a proper manifesto – a call to defend our freedom to create, discuss, link and share, rather than passively consume.

There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

Even Castles made of sand, fall into the sea, eventually.
