OMG: brains can't handle all our Facebook friends
From Want to be a free thinker but a , 5 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
This article in the Times interested me. The number of people I count as my friends has exploded in recent years due to e-mail, VOIP (phoning people over the computer), Facebook and instant messaging. I really enjoy being in touch with so many people but sometimes my brain fries from trying to remember everyone's important dates to get cards or presents out on time.Here's the info:WE may be able to amass 5,000 friends on Facebook but humans' brains are capable of managing a maximum of only 150...

Santa Is Real
From Lavender Honey, 5 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Yesterday we stopped for lunch at Sanary-sur-Mer and this scene touched my heart ... a large mailbox for Santa Claus, by the town center's Christmas tree. Creating dreams and hope for local children. It reminds me of the film Life Is Beautiful directed by Roberto Benigni, where a man sparks the imagination of his son in a Nazi death camp, so his child believes in happiness, fun, hope, love even in the worst case scenario.Want to revive the fantasy of Father Christmas to both the young and...

Cell Phone Symphony
From Gateway to Lindia, 5 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I went to what can best be described as a "cell phone picnic" at the NCPA Theater this evening in Mumbai.Instead of being told to flip off their cell phone before the show, attendees were encouraged to call a series of mobile numbers. The corresponding mobiles were on stage set to vibrate. Each one was positioned at different angles over loose guitar strings. Above is an MP3 snippet of the cell phone symphony in action. It was a fun way to hook into India's ubiquitous cell phone use. It was...

Picking Up My Feet in Singapore
From leajusi.com, 5 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Thanks to the many beautiful parks, thousands of avid runners, and year-round running events all around Singapore, I have gradually learned to pick up my feet, bring up the pace and get myself some cheap, exhilarating exercise.
When I used to live very near MacRitchie Reservoir Park, I would brisk walk in the late afternoon on the picturesque board walk by the water or on the peaceful board walk amidst the lush greens. When I felt like being active and it wasn’t rainy season, I’d...

King of cake day
From Le Franco Phoney, 5 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
In France, the 6th of January, Epiphany, is celebrated with a sweet treat. La galette des Rois (wafer of the kings) is a puff pastry pie-like thing with a layer of almond paste, known as frangipane, sandwiched between the pastry. It’s a special cake because it contains a porcelain figurine (now usually something plastic), which entitles the finder to be king of the household for the day.
Some history of the cake can be found here, but I’d prefer to talk about the here and now....

From Let Me Tell You About Sweden, 5 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Bröderna Lejonhjärtna is a very famous kids story here in Sweden.
Its written of course by Astrid Lindgren.
Last weekend I watched the film adaptation of this, mainly to improve my Swedish.
I was not expecting this to be so dark!
The film starts off with the youngest brother dying of a terminal disease. His old brother then dies in a fire. They both then find themselves in teh after life Nangijala. Even there all is not well as there is oppression by the nasty Tengril!
At the end of the film,...

Day 12: Manila
From ahintofpink, 5 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
28/January[These blogs are taking for-freaking-ever to get through. And there are tons of NEW developments that I want to tell you about, but first I have to get through the freaking past. WTF!] I basically spent most of the day in a classroom studying about Nitrox (enriched air), and Emergency First Response (CPR). I studied and looked longingly out the window as TONS of Korean tourists passed by. Koreans in the Philippines are more liberal, open minded and speak better English than those...
