Funny Indian Condom Ad

Un aperçu ….. :)

Joost. Free Internet TV by the Skype Team. Bingo!

Used to be called the ” The Venice Project”

It’s as cool as the ad makes it out to be. I’m now testing the beta version; Braindead, Alliance Atlantis Sci-Fi, Gamestar TV, Bridezillas, Warner Bros. Records, and World Poker Tour are all accessible on Joost, with more channels being added every day. There is also chat, IM, and searching capabilities. They even have a Bollywood channel :) (a total of 26 channels at the moment)

Not sure how to invite more people to test this… I have 0 invites left. Let me know if you are interested and when I can invite people I’ll let you know.

San-Francisco. I did leave my heart there ;)

I just came back from a week in San-Francisco. What a city! I have to say it must be one the coolest cities I have ever had the chance to visit. It actually felt like Montreal but with a great climate and a beautiful bay setting. It has the same relaxed, open, multicultural atmosphere. Gay pride parade is actually this weekend …too bad I’m missing it. I can only imagine the party. I have dozens of movies that I will post when I come back from my vacation in Croatia. Meanwhile you can enjoy more pics here.

 

Here are the lyrics to the famous song: I Left My Heart In San Francisco, by Frank Sinatra.

I saw the picture of Andre The Giant on a parking meter… I had NO idea what this was. But I just had to take a picture. It’s actually an art movement. Via Wikipedia

Les coches Français et leurs blogs pour aider le recrutement….

Extrait: "Laurence: QUALITE = Oeil de lynx, sourire charmeur et pieds d'acier"

Je crois qu'on peut être assuré qu'avec l'insécurité actuelle et la pénurie de candidats,,,, leurs salaires vont augmenter et la qualité diminuer.

Da Vinci code movie. How sad!

Je suis allé voir le film hier et comme Max le dit:" Quand tu sais que tout le monde va aller voir ton film… t'as pas vraiment besoin d'avoir de bons acteurs… et SURTOUT pas besoin d'un bon réalisateur" Ca résume tout!

J'ai fais une tite série de photos de l'effet Da Vinci code à Paris. Incluant celle en haut. Il y en a des bonnes du métro parisien à la station Concorde tout tapissée de photos et atmosphère Da Vinci code

Charlie’s Angels? NO! It’s your bank account…..

Caller ID… ? Do not trust – Afficheur de qui?

I was sad to see it was becoming harder then when I was a kid to do prank calls. Caller ID made it almost impossbile… but now you can fake your ID when calling someone:
"In the last few years, Caller ID spoofing has become much easier. Millions of people have Internet telephone equipment that can be set to make any number appear on a Caller ID system. And several websites have sprung up to provide Caller ID spoofing services, eliminating the need for any special hardware."

I'll be able to share with my kids the joys of calling the Chinese restaurant and getting deliveries to the school nerd that lives next door. Will still be better then a whole afternoon of Unreal Tournament and maybe prevent my kids from turning into the "crazy german kid"

what if microsoft redesigned the ipod packaging…..?

Immense affiche de hockey à Turin

Torino 2006 logo

Above is the Olympic logo of the 2006 games. Here is the thinking behind it. (Taken from here)

“The ideals linked to the logo reflect the very nature of the Games:

City/culture – mountain/nature relationship: the logo recalls not only the Mole Antonelliana (the city and architecture) but also the Alpine peaks (the unspoilt nature of the mountain districts), expressing a sense of exchange and interaction between the alpine resorts and the city.

Transparency: the mountains are not seen as an impediment but rather as a gateway between Torino and the rest of the world, they do not hinder interchange between populations with different cultural traditions, but rather enhance it. The sheer force of the multicultural issues adds prestige and emotional value to the Olympic Games.

Dynamism: Torino is always on the move and the passion with which it takes on the role of host city of the Games is proof of this.

Design and technology: the city develops in line with the times. The most famous Italian designers (Giugiaro and Pininfarina) contribute to make Torino one of the most avant-garde cities in the world, a true trendsetter.

A young look: targeting the future, reflecting the shedding of old skin.

The emblem of the XX Olympic Winter Games was designed by the creative studio Benincasa-Husmann from Milan, who won the competition for the creation of the Torino 2006 Emblem.”

Q&A with America’s Army free online game…..

I guess it makes sense. Does it?
But it’s still very weird.
If they recruit in shopping malls and at county fairs… why not the internet? Very young kids will be playing this game. I’m not sure we would approve if we saw America’s Army in front of the Toys R Us.

http://www.americasarmy.com/

Extracts from their QA page:
Q: Why are you doing the game?
A: … it is part of the Army's communications strategy…The Army's game is an entertaining way for young adults to explore the Army and its adventures and opportunities as a virtual Soldier.

Q: Is this a recruiting tool?
A: … it provides young adults and their influencers with virtual insights about the Army…

Q: Does the game encourage players to kill other game players?
A: Violence merely for the sake of violence is not part of the Army and therefore is not rewarded within the game.

Q: At one stage of the game, players are instructed on the fundamentals of basic rifle marksmanship. Does this teach young adults how to shoot a weapon?
A: …there is no way that manipulating a keyboard and mouse, as players do in the Army's game, can provide vital cues on key elements of marksmanship…

Q: How do I initiate contact with an Army Recruiter?
A: … game there are web links through which players can connect to the Army of One homepage.

Q: Could someone learn to save a life with the Medics module?
A: …players are learning some basics of lifesaving.

Loterie Green Card, Inscrivez-vous et gagnez un voyage aux US

C’est vraiment marrant de voir des pubs du gouvernement américain pour leur lotterie de « green card ». C’est partout dans le métro et sur internet . Car lorsque j’entre sur un site,,,, on me prend pour un français avec mon fournisseur internet francais (voici un exemple de pub http://www.usafis.org/email_collect.asp). Alors sur www.imdb.com il y avait une bannière qui m’énervait… une bar de défilement qui me donnait mon « éligibilité » pour la carte verte américaine… SO I CLICKED ON IT…
http://www.usafis.org/faq/land_french.asp
ET surtout vous pouvez voir si vous êtes éligible pour de vrai ici : http://www.usafis.org/eligibility.asp
Vous pouvez essayer toutes sortes de combinaisons…. pour Canada et on Hongrie c’est bon. Je me suis déjà inscrit ;) hu?
Mais Pakistan … no possible.

C’est seulement bizarre de voir ca en France. Ils donnent 50000 cartes vertes par années… il me semble qu’ils n’ont pas besoin de faire de pub pour ca….je vous jure, on voit ca partout c’est temps-ci.

Vous croyez que c’est un façon « camouflé \ indirecte » de faire de la pub pour les US ? Car ca revient aux même que de dire – on est un pays tellement cool qu’on fait une loterie pour vous donner la chance de venir habiter chez nous…mais une pub qui dirait simplement : « We are so good ! Why don’t you love us ? » passerait moins bien.

Ou vous croyez que c’est vraiment car les US ne sont pas capable d’attribuer leurs cartes vertes ?

Je ne comprends pas bien ces pubs…..de la pub pour promouvoir leur pays ? Un vrai besoin d’applicants ? Une manière d’aller pêcher proactivement des terroristes ? ( go to them before they come to us…) ou un besoin de diversifier les origines des applicants. Pire, je viens de me rendre compte que c’est un organisme privé….. bon je viens de lire un peu plus sur ce site. C’est un organisme privé qui fait payer pour ce service…. Would explain it all no ? Merde, leur branding ressemble foutument à un site gouvernemental…. mais ce n'est pas le cas.

Wow ! l’intérêt mon article tombe à l’eau avec ca…… LOL Mais bon ! C’est évidemment qu’il y a un intérêt en France s’ils font toute cette pub. Donc il y a plusieurs personnes en France qui voudraient habiter aux US. Étonnant non ?
