OS for babies

I have a beautiful 7 year old nephew that I love very much. We go out every Sunday to play soccer and just fool around all day. One thing that always has bugged my mind since he was born is finding a way to get him interested in computers from an early age. Not that I am very fond of the idea of sticking a child in front of a computer monitor… I would eternally prefer if we lived in a world were we could live without technological dependence. But I cannot undo evolution and computers are an everyday must. I always wanted to find a way to balance computer knowledge and at the same time prevent him from accessing unsuitable information. I think this is a great solution. Operating system Quimo has it all. Child oriented games, easy bookmarking and an extremely attractive graphical interface. It doesn’t even need installation since it can be launched form a CD.

An Icon a day! Muscle Cars

Blogger.Iconshock — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:43:07 +0000

60’s and 70’s cars are my favorites and I remember when I was a kid saving my pocket money every day to buy at least one car a week. After a couple of years, I ended having a collection of over 200 matchbox cars. Unfortunately, one fine day, my mom had a crazy cleaning spree and they disappeared into oblivion. Here’s this nostalgic set from Chris Galipoli. Comes in SIT format.

Can you identify the cars in the set?

The Blogger platform is often understood as a less versatile and less powerful solution against Wordpress. In fact, we at Iconshock choose Wordpress after testing both side by side and reading a lot of reviews. But times have changed and Blogger is becoming a competitor with plenty of aces below their sleeve. Check out this great post by Sean P. Aune for Mashable.

Iconshock Interview: Web Designer Sneh Roy

Blogger.Iconshock — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:44:13 +0000

She blogs, she cooks, she drinks coffee. Here it is, the one the only; Sneh Roy! Sneh is the brains, eyes and fingers behind the website “Little Box of Ideas” which is steadily rising into one of the most popular design blogs in the whole net. She offers at her site very high quality freebies and has featured interviews with relevant personalities of the design world as logo Guru Jacob Cass and illustrator Von Glitschka. She is also behind the curtain of the fabulous cooking blog “Gel’s Kitchen” and the famous “Stars we love“ celebrity site. Her vibrant and contemporary style are real hooks at first. But either as a client or a as a friend, what really keeps you hanging to her is her warmth and honesty.

We meet tons of people in the course of a lifetime. And if you really think about it, it is rare if someone leaves and impression that lasts more than an hour. Don’t take me wrong here, I don’t want to sound like I’m papa scrooge, it’s just something I believe is worth giving it a thought. The point I’m trying to make with all this babbling, is that I really wish half the people I meet daily made such an impression on me as Sneh. And I know many of you readers will be touched by her kind vibe too. A Special person indeed, and a real pleasure to interview.
