So I took the plunge and got a second matching (well sorta) LCD - apparently Acer had made a few improvements, new one is even clearer & sharper.

Petit jeu concours:
Celui ou celle qui trouvera l'artiste et le titre de 12 de ces albums recevra une petite récompense. N'hésitez pas à vous faire aider par vos amis.
Pour Manolitarok et Marie, petit règlement spécial: ce sera 16 albums (désolé les filles, mais je pense que ce sera facile pour vous, alors si vous trouvez tout de suite, ne jouez pas svp... puis de toutes façons Noël approche et je ne vous oublierai pas!)

PS: si vous êtes amateur de musiques rock et electronique, je vous conseille de lire les chroniques de datura333. Il publie au sein d'un blog sur gamekult des chroniques etonnantes qui, à moi, me feraient presque partir en courant chez mon disquaire.

He's a boy, FUR SURE

... with big intense eyes and drools over the expensive toys.
During the ceremony Michael and Christine's 5 month old baby boy kept looking intently at me. Christine claimed it was because he like girls, Michael noted the same, especially Asian women (i.e. when they travel together on the subway). I tooted that it was probably because their baby thought that those Asian women were his mommy (to which Christine said something about the mammary glands. Eeeks!).

Anyway, after the ceremony I notice it wasn't as much me, as it was my CAMERA that baby was staring at! When he later saw Lisa's (I'm so embarassed if I got her name mixed up) camera (so much more impressive than my P&S) his big eyes opened wider and he stared so intently. You should have seen his little hands! One was holding on to the other in attempts to hold back from temptation. I asked Lisa to hold out the camera to the little guy to see if my theory was correct, but by the time I was able to capture the shot, he already got out of that guilty look and was ready to grasp a hold of the "toy." What a cleaver little fellow, he knows what gadgets to go for. Mommy and daddy will have to be careful about the high end/high tech gear this little guy will be asking for in a few years. :O

I never considered myself to be biased, but in some situations I just can't help myself, and start to make my own expectations on how or what a certain person must be like. And because of that get a little surprised when the person turns out to be quiet different. This isn't necessary a bad thing, on the contrary, it's mostly for the better.
Take this boy, his a buddhist monk - or about to become one, I'm not sure if they are called monks this early on - from Thailand, I don't know that much about buddhist monks and their everyday life, but then I didn't think it would in involve to many electronic gadgets, and certainly not digital SLR's.
I was walking around Wat Saket Temple Fair (Temple of the Golden Mount) in Bangkok, when I passed this boy supervising - or something like that - some other kids washing the floor, I started shooting some photos of him and when he saw me, he stopped and stood still for me to take my photo, when I finished I looked at him and gave him the thanks a lot smile and was about to walk on.
Well you can imagine that I was a bit surprised when he came over to me to have a look at the display on the back of camera, to see his photo, I - of course - showed him, he took a look, nodded, smiled at me, and them went on with his business.
I also walk away with a smile on my face, for two reasons, one I got a really good portrait of the boy, and secondly I really had to reconsider my idea on what buddhist monks know about modern technology, cause this boy really fooled me.

Day 210 - SPOT this!

Over dinner the other night Cay and I thought we'd invented this device. She then did some research and discovered that someone else had got there first!

It's a SPOT2 GPS Messenger - basically an SOS alert device that calls the emergency services with my location should I need them. The neat thing is that it doesn't rely on a mobile phone signal. As I often ride out alone in isolated places ( and given my propensity for accidents!), it might save my life one day!
