Day 9 - University of California, Berkeley
Welcome to the sancta sanctorumof science! The University of California, Berkeley is not only a campus rich of laboratories and halls, is a heaven-like park in which you can breathe the healthy air of knowledge! Some of the most important steps in computer sciences and physics have been made here. And it's possible to feel them even today! As usual, more inside!

UC Berkeley, view from the surrounding hills. Sather Tower to your right.
Day 7 - Goobye SF... Welcome to Berkeley!
Time to move from San Francisco, renting a car (a huge car of course), and heading to Berkeley, crossing the Bay Bridge! Take a look at the pictures in the following post.

Day 4 - Things get serious.

Day 2 - Zooming your life!
We landed on a world oversized! Take whatever you know on this planet and double it: welcome in California! More images on the arcticle below.

Day 1 - From the other side...
After about an eleven hour's flight, we've just arrived in California from London! A very long jump through the Atlantic ocean, passing over the Greenland, the canadian lakes region and the U.S.A. in the end.



Let the game begins!
Only few hours to the Great Departure. Packing suitcases, checking computers and devices, preparing the parachute jump on the Silicon Valley!

Hai mai cercato un posto dove architettura, cultura geek e hardware vintage si incontrano davvero? Dal 2004 questo spazio è il laboratorio digitale di Simone Garagnani: qui si sperimentano idee, si collezionano storie nerd, si parla da tempo immemore di soluzioni BIM, rilievi digitali, computer graphics e retrocomputing. Ma non è nato tutto da solo: alle origini, fra i banchi universitari, c’erano anche Pasquale Squillace e Giuseppe Pernigotti. Da quei giorni, il blog è diventato una calamita per chi vuole sporcarsi le mani tra tecnologie d’epoca, cultura underground, digitalizzazione avanzata e creatività architettonica. Se ami la contaminazione tra passato, innovazione e un pizzico di ironia nerd, sei nel posto giusto.
Since 2004, this blog has been Simone Garagnani's digital playground - where geek culture, science, architecture, engineering ITs and vintage hardware come together. Here you can find hands-on experiments with retrocomputing, stories about underground nerd culture, and in-depth explorations of BIM, high-resolution digital surveying, and computer graphics for architecture, engineering, and construction. The blog was originally launched during my university years together with Pasquale Squillace and Giuseppe Pernigotti. Over time, it has grown into a hub for anyone interested in crossing wires between technology, creative design, and the hidden treasures of digital heritage. If you're passionate about mixing past innovations with new digital adventures, and enjoy a good dose of nerd irony, welcome, you'll feel right at home!
