I learned my cooking as a kid by the side of my (northern) Italian gradma (gnocchi, coniglio, polenta); most of my plates are Italian, yet I learned a lot from Marianne Kaltenbach’s “Aus Italiens Küche” (German only), which has a lot of basic Italian cooking theory that is extremely useful. Any tips?

I used to check a shitload of feeds, just like the rest of us. Today the only news i check are those few selected sources i have added to google.com/ig — screenspace is obviously limited, so i hope this will prevent me of adding trillions of feeds there again. Sometimes i have to delete a source to add a better one when i find one.

@HAWKEN KING, I did pre-order the iPhone 3G, but not to be able to fill my head with junk whenever i want to. I just am totally pissed off when i sit somewhere and can not (with 2 or 3 clicks) check the next connecting bus schedule, like i am used to it when i am at home. It just makes me angry to know that there is this “2 to 3 clicks” technology out there and i can’t use it i such a situation.

The iPhone has nothing to do with the quality of content you find on the internet, but with accessibility.

Great read Oliver, which got me thinking: Bought a new french cookbook recently?

Ironically, “mobile me” appears to be streamlining our personal data consumption just like .mac did for the few, but now for the masses?
