Booking Spleen


Saturday, October 21, 2006

I need to book an accommodation for my next holidays which are approaching at an unbelievable speed.

It’s on my To-do-list for a month now, I’ll do that this weekend.

In the meantime here’s a link to illustrate my state of mind in that matter:

iPod Nano (PRODUCT) Red - Review


Tuesday, October 17, 2006

You may be aware that Apple (along with other companies like Gap, Motorola) is launching a red colored product (in that case an Ipod nano) to support AIDS charities:

iPod Nano (PRODUCT) Red - Review: ”

Friday October 13th 2006 - Apple Computer announced a special edition iPod Nano, the iPod Nano (PRODUCT) Red. Their slogan? Put a different kind of change in your pocket. Their aim? To donate $10 of every Nano (PRODUCT) Red purchase to the (RED) campaign founded by U2 lead singer…

Now here are products that may not be a good idea to include in the campaign:

The funniest flickr comment ever?


Monday, October 16, 2006

“I can’t find the EXIF data, I guess some software in your workflow didn’t write it properly.”

Call me a geek, but I couldn’t resist laughing out loud on this one.

You’ll understand when you see the immaculate Flickr’s picture on which this comment has been laid: Untitled

I’ve always wondered …

I’m bringing sexy bark!

Nature beauty, literally ;-D

I’m bringing sexy bark!: “Xeni Jardin:
That’s what Justin Timberlake might say if he were responsible for these suggestive images from nature. But he’s not. I’m not sure who shot them, but they’re blogged with Japanese text by someone named Hiro. Here’s what Hiro says, in babelfish botglish:

‘Sexy which can be made natural it is photograph collection of the thing.
It makes good.’

I’m pretty sure they are unretouched. Even the hot carrot, which makes good. Link (Thanks, Seth Abramovitch)

When mannequins attack


Friday, August 18, 2006

I knew already, I’ve seen them in Doctor who last year ;-)

When mannequins attack: “David Pescovitz:
A woman is suing JC Penney Co. after a mannequin’s arm snapped off and knocked her in the head, cutting her scalp, cracking a tooth, and causing other injuries. The incident occurred when a salesperson at the Westiminster Mall store attempted to remove the mannequin’s shirt which the plaintiff wanted to purchase. Apparently, mannequins can be quite dangerous…Link(Thanks, Paul Saffo!)

Windows for new Mac users, switching from Windows…


Sunday, July 30, 2006

It’s amazing what one can find in a bog amidst the midges ;-)

Windows for new Mac users, switching from Windows…: “Windows users switching to Mac get confused with the shortcuts and little details of the new operation system. There are 10 tips in the form of shortcuts and tweaks that are presented in this bog. Better than searching the Internet for each solution separately, as they are gathered it together.”

(Via digg / dig.)

I want one of those

That’s imaginative. A perfect example of the “thinking out of the box” principle ;-)

Cursor kite


Monday, July 24, 2006

That’s so clever.
Any volunteer to create a “Are you sure you want to delete this cloud” button shaped kite?

Cursor kite: “David Pescovitz:

Tim Elverston’s Cursor kite is a very clever idea. From WindFire Designs:

 Timbofolio Pages Wfdcursor
Quad-line control, asymmetrical framing, invisible stainless fittings, and opposed-bow tensioning for the sail make this incredible kite look digitally pasted right into the sky.

Race ‘worth £70m’ to London: “Hosting the start of the 2007 Tour de France will bring £70m to the capital, Transport for London says.”

(Via BBC News.)

It’s not the first time the “Tour De France” ventures in foreign countries, but usually it’s one or the other France continental neighbour.

Between Great Britain and France, there’s a bit of water, The Channel, not that much water but still.

It would be really great, if instead of flying the cyclists to the continent the organisers install flotation devices on the bicycles, so the cyclists can pedals on the Channel.
That would be huge fun to watch and would spice up next year Tour.
Do you think they’ll do that?
