A quick shout-out for a blog I just discovered, and that I really envy – this is the sort of blog I would love to write.
No matter if you are lovers of history, readers of the classics, adventure enthusiasts or just curious people that enjoy good food, please direct your browsers to Farrell Monaco’s blog, Tavola Mediterranea, a beautiful site full of recipes from the ancient shores of the Mediterranean.
Beautiful idea, wonderful execution.
Ah, envy!
A quick post to congratulate my brother Alessandro, that was selected for a scholarship as Android developer with Google and Udacity.
Six more months of high-level online education.
A quick announcement: my brother is setting up his first blogathon.
Alessandro writes the Redjack Blog, Italy’s foremost blog about Jack the Ripper, and so this will be a Ripper-themed Blogathon.
The thing will take place in September, so you have all the time to pick a topic and submit it.
Check it out, and if you feel like, participate.
I will, with a post here on Karavansara.
First-time visitors to Karavansara get a big fat popup inviting them to join our mailing list. Now there is also a big fat button on the sidebar, that looks just like the one below.
And so, if you have not signed up yet, why not give it a try?
The Karavansara Mailing List is low-traffic, non-intrusive, and bring news of my new projects, my books and my promotions.
And to further bribe you, subscribers to my mailing list get a free, exclusive ebook.
Click the button.

I’m weird like that.
Last Sunday, during a provision run at the local hard discount, I spent two bucks on two oversized copybooks.
Why? They might come handy, I said to myself.
And today, during lunch break, I read a post about Bullet Journaling on Shanna Germain’s blog, which led me to googling about the subject, and so I discovered the joys and the promises of bullet journaling.
That’s the sort of thing I like finding out early in the new year, as this might be an interesting year-long experiment. Continue reading
