June 03 J’ai faim, mais que puis-je manger ?Je ne peux pas manger de porc à cause de la grippe porcine... Hmmmmmmmmm... Je crois qu'il ne reste que le chocolat et la crème glacée, et souvenez-vous que "STRESSED" s'épelle "DESSERTS" à l'envers ! Envoyez un lien vers cet article à au moins 4 personnes et vous perdrez 1 kg. Ignorez-le et vous engraisserez de 5 kg immédiatement ! C'est pour ça que je l'ai bloggué, en pluis de l'envoyer à tous mes copains et collègues, je ne voulais rien risquer ! June 02 Bing, 5 days later…
From my point of view, I could think of two things: Chandler Bing in Friends and Helados Bing in Mexico. Then, I thought of Milla Jojovitch crashing down in Bruce Willis’s cab after taking a dive. After another short while, I thought about the verb, should it be regular, or not, I think not: bing, bang, bung souds “right”. Finally, I thought, it looks like those marketing guys did go to school after all. EVERYBODY was talking about it, within hours of the launch, the name had stuck, for better or for worse only future will tell, but it had stuck, that’s a fact. There was negativity of course, but a lot of positive response too. As far as I am concerned, I have always stuck to MSN Search, then Live Search, then the somewhat shortlived Kumo dogfood, and now Bing. Why? It just works well enough for me. Also, the desktop gimmicks (gadgets, desktop bar, tray bloatware and other crap) never did it for me. Nor did the browser add-ons and toolbars for that matter… Typing “? foo” in the browser’s address bar to look for “foo” did the trick just fine for as long as I can remember having to search for something on the Internet. So as I said in my Tweet about this on Thursday: “Live Search is dead, long live Bing.” 5 days later, I can say it grew on me and I actually like the name. Go figure. Shields downTitle in opposition as my Shields Up post from last Fall…
It has this nice sporty look again, somewhat at odds with the GPS sticking out, but I just need it too much to take it out as well. The seat looks awesome without the back rest! Besides the commute to work that is more and more frequent those days, I went on a nice longish ride two weeks ago with a buddy of mine, from the Eastside to Lake Easton State Park. Mostly slab on the I90, which allowed us to push the bikes a bit, but very nice scenery all the way! Not the best pic, I’ll get more, promise… Fable moderneA méditer... Une riche vieille dame décide d'aller faire un safari photos en Afrique. Remarquant les quelques os d’une carcasse qui traîne sur le sol à proximité, il se met aussitôt à mâcher les os, tournant le dos au léopard qui approche. Quand celui-ci est sur le point de lui sauter dessus, le vieux caniche s'exclame haut et fort : Cependant, un vieux singe, qui avait observé toute la scène d’une branche d'arbre à proximité, se dit qu’il pourrait mettre à profit ce qu’il sait en négociant avec le léopard et obtenir sa protection. Il part donc le rattraper mais le vieux caniche, le voyant courir à toute vitesse après le léopard, réalise que quelque chose se trame. Le singe rattrape vite le léopard, lui dévoile le pot aux roses, et lui propose son plan. Le jeune léopard est furieux d'avoir été trompé : - "Arrive ici, le singe, monte sur mon dos, et tu vas voir ce qui va arriver à ce petit malin!" Le vieux caniche voit le léopard accourir avec le singe sur son dos et s’inquiète : - "Que vais-je faire maintenant?" Mais au lieu de s’enfuir, le chien s’assied dos à ses agresseurs, faisant semblant une fois de plus de ne pas les avoir vus, et juste au moment où ils arrivent à portée de voix, il s ’exclame : - "Où est donc ce foutu singe? Ça fait une heure que je l ’ai envoyé me chercher un autre léopard!" Morale de cette histoire :
ViagraDe la part du tonton JM, encore et toujours… Papy s'est fait faire une ordonnance par son médecin pour du viagra. Mais comme il connaît tout le monde dans l'unique pharmacie du village il demande à son petit-fils de lui faire la commission moyennant une petite récompense. Poèsie et religion, juste pour rireDe la part du tonton JM. Une classique, gentille, pour vous faire sourire. Un type arrive dans une ferme de Corrèze et demande l'hospitalité. Pourquoi certains hommes ont des chiens mais pas de femmeDe la part du tonton JM.
Et le dernier mais non le moindre : 14. Si un chien s'en va, il ne part pas avec la moitié de tes affaires May 27 Time flies and life goes on…Felt like waxing philosophical this morning, must be the gray sky, or the sun trying to shine thru the clouds, and somewhat failing at it, go figure… Winter has come and gone, with a lot of skiing, almost every Sunday between January and April… Time went by smoothly, quickly, nicely, with more ups than downs, more coziness than roughness. Lots of gray, lots of snow, lots of rain. I can’t remember much more of it already. Sigh… Spring is now here, with absolutely horrible allergies for me in February and March, getting a bit better since late April. The sunny days are getting more frequent, the temperature is going up, and the ski trips are becoming camping trips. School is almost out for the kids. We’re thinking summer camps and summer holidays. My family has always been the most important thing to me, and I am trying hard to take action and make that all the more visible and tangible to them. Say it’s middle age or whatever, but I watch my kids grow up and I can’t remember what they were like as babies, or at 2 or 5 years old. I want to build as many nice memories for them and anchor as many good times as I possibly can in their mind. I love them so much! Boy, does time fly!!! Work is always here, rain or shine, which is a good thing in those difficult times… I try not to let it eat me alive as I often do, and a good illustration of that fact is that I managed to get through almost 6 months of hard exercise and diet to get back in shape. Not yet where I was 20 years ago, but definitely better than anything in my adult life as a working professional. I am no longer a walking heart attack waiting to happen, and it’s still getting better. Not out of the woods yet, and still working on it, but much better all around… Thinking about my two grand mothers who passed away recently (Mamie Annette & Teta Nadia), and it still hurts big big big inside, and it brings some regrets and some joy and some tears and some laughs also. Thinking about my Jeddo who left us a couple of weeks ago and boy does that hurt too! Thinking about my parents too… I hope my folks are OK, haven’t seen them in a while, though we stay in touch. Looking forward to the upcoming summer holidays when I’ll see them again, and wondering how my dad will be, with this f...ing cancer eating him insidiously with no external symptoms yet. And thinking my little bro (not so little, in fact he’s bigger than me), whom I hope is gonna make a nice big dent –in a good way- in the business of the small company he just joined. So close and so far apart. Building a family of his own now, so much in common and so different. Ah well, life goes on, just keep watching both sides of the street before you cross over to the other side. May 20 Windows Live Experience in the Webware 100 winnersCool stuff, goodness all around.
