No matter what color, when a Fiat 500– cinquecento — rumbles past or is peacefully parked…you have to look and smile. This nifty, compact car has survived generations and still oozes character and desire.

Wow! Have you ever seen the Vatican from this perspective? Holy indeed!
Assisi, Italy, originally uploaded by R.o.b.e.r.t.o..
This is a trippy shot I saw today on Flickr. It not only reflects my mood these days — frustrated from working too much and dreaming of being with my family. It also threw me back to my wedding day.
My wife and I got married inside the Basilica of San Francesco not long after all of the scafolding was removed following the 1997 Assisi earthquake. See photos of Assisi from that time, including this shot of falling frescos and a homage to Assisi after the earthquake. Here are some of the Fescoes.
We stood next to the brown, ragged robe of San Francesco. What a magical living shrine to love and humanity. Unlike this photo, it was a super sunny, hot day…but cool and refreshing inside beneath the frescoed chiesa.
This photo is pure and moody as the sun goes down and the lights beam on the basilica. Reminds me of the many times we walked down that path. With every step the chiesa grows bigger and more awesome.

This is not a far drive from where our family stays in Pizzo, Calabria. The yellow cactus fruit, clear blue water and dreamy yachts…I gotta get there and bring my camera!
Deruta, Italy, originally uploaded by R.o.b.e.r.t.o..
What a majestic photo of a place I’ve seen in real life. My wife took a great ceramics course in Deruta. We visited Deruta together in the late 1990s. A few years later, we got married near Deruta and Perugia…in Assisi inside the Basilica of San Francesco. That was magical and sometimes it all seems like a dream.

Windmill at the foot of Ocean Beach in Golden Gate Park. My nephew saw it first: “Thomas!” Like Thomas the train cartoon. He has looked at the photo for almost two hours already, and counting. He calls this “the BIG one.”
This was taken during a ride through San Francisco with our family from Italy visiting us in the Bay Area.
Us taking a photo of us with a Gigabyte MID, originally uploaded by Hugger Industries.
Hey, that’s an Intel Atom processor Gigabyte mobile Internet device in their hand!
This is a good visual because it shows what I’ve been seeing in my minds eye: new mobile Internet devices will make ultimate social media swiss Army knives we can bring anywhere to capture and share your stories, photos and videos quickly.
And then WiMAX will come!

From the Intel Developer Forum in Shanghai, April 2, 2008. That’s today, the day engineers and tech lovers from around the world got to see new mobile Internet devices (MIDs) for the first time. These are the newest pocketable, full-Internet experience devices running on Intel’s tiniest new Atom processor.
See more photos and join the IDF Group on Flickr.
Here’s a cool video Lenovo made, showing their new device:
