Anche quest'anno si è tenuta la maratona fotografica FNAC. E come da tre anni a questa parte il sottoscritto con la famiglia era presente all'evento. Giornata soleggiata e abbastanza calda che ci ha portato a girovagare per le vie del centro alla ricerca degli scatti da consegnare all'appuntamento delle ore 15 presso il Forum FNAC . La giornata come da rito prevede lunga trafila per avere i pass, colazione a suon di brioche e caffè, lettura del giornale l'Arena, brainstorming sui temi della maratona e infine girovagare totalmente random ammirando luoghi nascosti delle città di Verona alla ricerca dei soggetti da immortalare.

A favicon (short for favorites icon), also known as a shortcut icon, website icon, URL icon, or bookmark icon is a 16×16 or 32×32 pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage. The interesting bit here is the apple-touch-icon which is used if you save a bookmark to your home screen on an apple touch device such as an iPad or iPhone. Interestingly enough, android also supports its usage. The apple-touch-icon default size is 57px by 57px. As the comment says, if your icons are in the root of your domain, these links aren't required.
