Food poisoning

Easy enough to cure

Friday, October 29, 2010

This video dates back to 1991!!!

Most of you kids, pupils, students weren't even born when that video was shot 20 years ago. Still, we haven't got this digital desk yet!
Sitting in my study in front of my desktop, (a portable PC) I'm surrounded by paper. Bad for the planet.
Loads of files containing document, lessons, tests, papers, on the shelves and bookcases.

How nice it would be to have only one portable computer each with a video projector in the class, connected to the internet with the possibility for you to download the articles, links, audio and video files easily.
But the Education Nationale missed the opportunity then.. And it could have been cheap.
I guess it's better for businesss to give high-tech gizmos (gadgets whose name you can't recall) to people gradually, trickling down the devices only to make them obsolete with some new gadget, itself rendered obsolete with another one... ad lib.
Don't you see?
If you really don't see my point, make a list of all the electronic devices you've had since childhood.
You'll get it then!
If you mail this list to me and tell me what I mean, you'll get 2 additional points to your next test. I promise!

Seven years later... still so true!

Sing along! Just mute the sound on the lyrics video ... and start them both. You might want to use F 11 to get both videos visible on your screen.


Here a comment on the video I liked!
"What happened to the Black Eyed Peas?
I miss them. They used to make music with meaning and reason. This song brings me back when i was a little kid listening to this on the radio before all this same crap comes on over and over again: Everything now is sex and partying.
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Now i ask you black eyed peas, "Where is the love?"
...from "The Shattered Element. Kuddos!

Happy Thanksgiving in advance!

Julian Boulle, a South African asks at the very end of the video:
Do you think anybody else had as much fun as us today in the entire world?
To which Holmes, an American professional skier answers: "I don't think so."

About Tax Havens

Ahhhh les paradis fiscaux!
For once, a video in French. I'm sure Evav Joly speaks English but I couldn't find the English equivalent so here you go!
I quote Eva Joly:
"Une mesure aussi simple que de demander aux sociétés transnationales de déclarer ce qu'elles gagnent pays par pays et de ne pas l'obtenir au bout de huit ans..."
Listen to her if you want to know more.

The Event, some TV event...

Considering all those hours I, you, we spend on the web, I just wanted to post a link which might not be legal but well, Hadopi will let me know.
No big deal really. Just the opportunity to watch a great series just a couple of days after the U.S. NBC viewers.
I've already posted a preview on that blog.Now the third episode has been I've just watched the third episode of The Event.
Yes, I do have some leisure time in front of my screen.
Well, that third episode of The Event is abso-...-lutely mind-blowing.
Great thriller and the plot unfolds smoothly. Actors are definitely convincing and as for the characters, we want to know more about them.
Well, you may want to see for yourself. Enjoy!
