Now, I’m officially annoyed! Every time this song comes on on radio I am screaming and banging my head (mostly against steering wheel). They’ve stolen bass and rhythm from another song, ripped it off clean!… I am talking about this Duffy person with her song “Mercy” Compare with “Stand by me” by Ben E. King ( I know, it was done in 1961, but so what? It’s still the same thing!!!!)
Safari ushers in better browser colors | CNET News.com
June 19, 2007Another reason to use Macs? Or you can just install Safari on your Windows (although I’ve heard it’s full of bugs at the moment… but in fairness it is called Beta!)
According to the article at CNET (link below) Safari “supports different ways of encoding images that can man richer, deeper colors”. ( Safari ushers in better browser colors | CNET News.com )
Now, at first it didn’t mean anything for me either, but reading the article I’ve figured out that, apart of usual RGB colour representation there exists other ways of encode digital pictures, and they’re existed for some time now and are widely used in proffesional circles. And Safari is the only browser that can understand those other encodings and show them correctly. And this promise even better pictures on the web.
You can check for yourself if your browser understands it or not: looks like magic to me! Follow this link and see for yourself.
Tractor in the Lake
September 4, 2006
I’ve heard about this tracktor in the lake this summer from my sister, although she didn’t make any pictures, and by the time she get back to the lake (after spending few days somewhere near the southern summit of The Mountain), they managed to pull the tractor out of the lake. Now I’ve seen the photo 
Another day – another death?
June 29, 2006I know my writing about it won’t change anything, neither anyone’s reading about it whould. But this cuts deep, and I feel like writing. From the local news:
Baby boy dies after Co Cork road crash
29 June 2006 15:09
A nine-month-old baby boy has become the youngest person to die as a result of a road crash in Ireland this year.
It was a head-on collision. Pictures in the news – pure horror. 6 people involved. Imagine: mother taking her 3 kids somewere (one of them – 9 month old), another mother taking her only child in the oppositie direction. And now baby boy is dead, both mothers and another child still in hospital. One life lost, 5 lifes shattered. Even more than 5 lifes shattered.
It is wrong to make any conclusions on who’s fault it is, but what if everyone of us will just SLOW DOWN on the roads?
There is no meaning in this post, and probalby only about 4 people will read it. And I don’t have anything to say, apart from the fact that I feel the pain, and my thoughts are with poor mother of this unfortunate baby.
6/06/2006
June 6, 2006Какая дата! Я думал что сегодня наступит конец света, но пока что еще не наступил (кажется). Неохота было подниматься в 6 утра, а то можно было бы оставить запись в 06:06:06 6-го числа 6-го месяца 2006 года.. Если этот блог доживет до 2009 года – то тогда точно оставлю запись в 9:09 Раньше не ждите!
Ну, пойду читать новости, искать намеков на конец света.

Воспоминания детства

Бессовестно содрал картинку отдсюда: http://wwwboards.auto.ru/anecdotes/772617.html
Кстати, пока на этой теме: в славном городе Эдинбурге есть "Музей Детства", в котором собраны игрушки прошлых лет. Нам очень понравилось, хотя на нашу трехлетнюю дочку особого впечатления он вроде не произвел.
