Day 17 - My personal burger ranking list
Ok ok, I promise this (and maybe a couple of others more) is my last "not-so-serious" post. It's all about hamburgers, you know, I'm in the country of hamburgers, how can I be not fond of them.
I planned to write something on my research and how university works here, in the United States, but I have first to express all of my happiness of being a carnivore in a land of sandwiches. So, this is my personal ranking table, based mainly on homogeneous hamburgers (basically bacon cheeseburger, to assemble in-place with lettuce, cucumbers, a tomato's slice and preferably not onion):
1st place: Pinecrest in SF - A dramatically emotional experience! Absolutely the best with jackpepper cheese. Grabbing a bite there was like a metaphysical travel in taste.
2nd place: Barney's in Solano Av., Kensington - Refined and elegant in its Swiss cheese, better if served with ice cold root beer (only now I've been advised to try their milkshake).
3rd place: Alec's in Telegraph Road, Berkeley - Outwardly a fast food site, actually a great place to order a big-b beefburger with french fries (the geekest place where I had my meal).
4th place: Bongo Burger, Hearst Av., Berkeley - A little bit more tasty than conventional fast food cooking.
(to be continued...)

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!
