Nicola' Scribbles
Other than two ‘big’ blogs, I needed a place to put down my scribbles and breadcrumbs of text / life pills. That's the place for those.

Kevin Schwantz

Kevin is one of the my personal all-times favourite rider on a motorbike. He was for motorcycling what Andrè Agassi was to me for tennis. They were “role models” of raw talent and strongwill and cornerstones for those disciplines.

Today I find myself enjoying most of the ‘work’ done by current champions, but none of them ignite my passion like they did at the time. I wonders if that's because I am getting old, or because times have changed and there's no more space for spontaneity in modern sports, where the current protagonists are breed since childhood to do that sport.

Corto Maltese

Did you ever heard of ‘Corto Maltese’ comic's character by the Italian master Hugo Pratt?

If you love adventures by the sea, and some philosophical digression over life and people's interactions give this title a shot. You'll thank me later…

Archie and his Peroni

The youngest child / cat of our family has a deep phisical connection to me and my wife and simply loves to be with us on the table after dinner time. We have a long one so there's more than enough space to do so.

The other day we had a rotisserie chicken for dinner and a couple of beers. I took a chance to take this silly photo, which makes me smile.

last days of summer

Italy’s been split in half in these days. In the North we are having heavy rains and cold. I the South we’re dealing with the hot Scirocco’s African wind, with more than 34ºC.

So, waiting for the rain coming down in the next couple of days, we’re enjoying some seaside life.

my Tumblr

One of my longest livin' on-line project is my Tumblr space where I have been collecting quotes, skyline and motorcycles photos and a lot of great art I find on-line regarding comics.

My Tumblr has an identity so strong that I've never tought to close it, move it, delete it. I think it's a great archive and from time to time I make a back-up of it in the remote evenience that the Automattic team that now runs the show will decide to close it.

reality is chaos

❝ Reality is chaos, and we’ve created an algorithm that keeps us informed of as much of that chaos as possible, from the second we wake up to the second we go to bed, and then we wonder why we’re anxious.

Aprilia

Those two 125cc Aprilia bikes were the objects' of my wet dreams when I was sixteen… I was lucky enough to ride both of them :-)

The RX was very tall. I still can't believe I managed to get on it, given my height of 170cm and the height of the motorcycle. Also, I clearly remember how the RX was a wheelie hooligan. I has some fear throtling the gas at lower gears.

Playground

Over the results that Apple's Playground.app on iOS gives me I was not able to find one that was vaguely useful to be used in a "large" format as you can see here. Did you succeed getting some nice image out of that?
