Finally I'm leaving for so long expected "summer conference tour"... No way I could finish everything in time, so my bags a full of paper and digital pieces to work on. Anyway, it feels much better than working in the office.

So, where I'm going to be next few weeks

• 23-26 June - Ed-Media, Lugano, Switzerland
• 27 June - Genoa, Italy
• 28 June - Milan, Italy
• 29 June - 2 July - I-KNOW, Graz, Austria
• 3-7 July - BlogWalk / BlogTalk, Vienna, Austria
• 8-10 July - (still clarifying) Milan, Italy

If you are around and want to meet - please, get in touch. I should be quite well connected during the conferences.

Sitting in Schiphol airport waiting for the plane. Please keep your fingers crossed for me - I have to managed to get last train connection from Milan to Lugano :)

If you didn't talk about it with me face-to-face you don't know that I'm reading quite a few food/cooking weblogs. Reflecting on how reading them changes my own cooking practices provides lots of ideas for thinking about implicit learning and legitimate peripheral participation in a case of weblogs (more on it soon: my presentation at Ed-Media is in two days ;)

Chocolate & Zucchini is one of my favourites: it's a great combination of style, inspiration and humor (and of course, new dishes on my table :) Today Clotilde shares her joy of discovering le sandwich corse de clotilde:

I cannot begin to tell you how gratifying Chocolate & Zucchini has been, since the very early days. But this, having a sandwich named after me at one of my absolute favorite lunch places, is a benefit I clearly hadn't foreseen. You must forgive my candor, but : how unbelievably cool is that, I ask you?

Read the whole story: it's a great example of how ideas travel, not only between weblogs, but to our offline life as well. And then you have a choice: you can treat it as a source for cooking inspuration, example of legitimised theft or a business case :)))
