  1. Massimo Cirri, dopo quasi trent’anni di Caterpillar, risponde senza formule accademiche: ascoltatori, immediatezza, ironia, storie, persone. E soprattutto una Radio capace di raccontare qualcosa che ancora non conosciamo.

    «Vorrei che la Radio mi permettesse di uscire da me stesso. Di percepire qualcosa. Qualcosa di nuovo».

  8. Digging in the Shadow of NEMO

    This part of Oosterdokseiland was a building site back in 2011, and I rather enjoyed picking my way around the fencing. NEMO's great green copper hull sits across the water like a ship that has run aground on purpose and this afternoon it had a proper foil in the foreground: a battered Caterpillar 385B from Oudtzwanenburg's demolition crew, parked on a churned slab of rubble and looking entirely unbothered by the architecture behind it. Fifteen years on, and the island is all glass and […]

  10. Here are a few #horsetail plants, seen on my walk #today (yesterday, actually).

    Plus a wandering "woolly bear" (#TigerMoth) #caterpillar.

    Horsetails are 150 million-year-old living fossils that were eaten by - yes! - Jurassic #dinosaurs.

    Also, their unique node spacing inspired #JohnNapier in 1614 to invent #logarithms.

    Admittedly, some rude US jurisdictions (wtf Oregon...?) classify them as noxious weeds.

    But imho this is an amazing plant with a wonderful résumé 💚
