Writing on cool stuff of this world!
One years is passed since I started my master degree in System Design and Management at MIT. Back in August 2016, I attended the program bootcamp: an intense two-weeks of classes and project work. This period included two so called design challenges: the first was technical and the second one of social nature. Here is…
In an ambitious hardware development project, it is very common to achieve a situation when the end of the road seems to be at reach: you went all the way through a challenging design phase, and you prototyped a few concepts that you iteratively improved until reaching a good confidence level that all initial requirement…
The trend towards agile project management poses quite some challenges when such practice has to be framed in the context of a contract with a third party. All in all, remember that the goal of the contract is still to deliver a working product: get rid of all the waste that diverts the focus from delivering real value! Let’s…
See those two guys laying on the ground in the beautiful Shinjuku Gyoen in the middle of Sakura time? It’s me and my wife Desiree 😉 We look forward very much to coming back in the beautiful Tokyo!!!

Fol. 181, n. 44). ” A voler sapere ogni quantita…
Here is some Mind Maps that I created while preparing for the GMAT AWA Essay. You are free to make whatever use you like of them. These maps are a collection of stuff that I found on many online resources. Please forgive me if I don’t mention the sources, but I did not keep any record….
Exclusively from my friends (great) photographers and publishers of the monthly magazine “CdC”: the Househusband, my homemade (first ever) video production 🙂
The last thing you wanna do at the AWA GMAT Essay is to get stuck in drafting the first paragraph of the essay. Don’t undervalue the Art of a Good Start. Failing at quickly drafting the first paragraph of the essay may indeed not only put at risk the AWA part of the GMAT, but also…
After much effort, the final score on my July’s GMAT AWA Essay was 6.0!!! In the previous GMAT test I did in 2009 I took a depressing 3.0: quite a big leap forward! I am very happy about this!!! I will post soon some additional material (e.g., Mind Maps) that I created and used for my preparation…
