Networking!

Networking is always around and this time I found some cute tips from one of my favourite blogs, Design*Sponge. Take some time to read through Sara Rosso's Networking for designers. I'm sure it's gonna add up something new today. Feel inspired!

What I've been up to...

By this time of the year, I've decided to dedicate some of my time getting in the mood for Christmas, so I bought this book on short stories, The Ecco Book of Christmas Stories, and have been reading it, almost hearing Jingle-Bells... Lovely stories; highly recommended!

Book Forest

Lovely pieces from Japanese +D with animal silhouettes... nice ornament for your book forest, right at home.

Zwiebelfisch

This week I've been to Bastian Sick's lecture held at Goethe Institut São Paulo. Sick is the author of "Der Dativ ist dem Genitiv sein Tod", a book on common mistakes people make while writing or speaking German.

He's a showman; the whole lecture was filled with sharp remarks, such as the common doubt on whether it should be "die" or "das" Nutella... really funny! By the way, don't miss his blog, Zwiebelfisch.

Shakespeare and Company

Can't put it down. In two days it's almost all read...
Jeremy Mercer's Time was soft there is a really great book, filled with passion and the seek for a better world.

Next time I go to Paris, I surely won't be missing Shakespeare and Co.

Strongly recommended!

Beautiful Moleskine!

Picassos' Moleskine

Van Gogh's Moleskine

Lovely Moleskines, the cute sketchbooks from artists like Van Gogh and Picasso...
Get real trendy and buy your first one. Then write it up until you get your second one, and so on... lovely!

Recent Thoughts

I'm crazy about books and reading, so this time I'll share with you some of my latest readings... I'm usually curious about knowing how stuff works and so on, and one of these days I was strolling with my boyfriend and we bumped into a really interesting book: The Pinball Effect, by James Burke, host of Connections 2.

It's quite interesting to get to know how every single action is related to discoveries in science, new products, mass media, industry development or stock market. Written quite some time ago (1996), when Internet wasn't so broad, It has clever thoughts on how information is linked, proposing another approach to book reading and science development. Worth checking out.
