Sight of the Stars

"For my part I know nothing with any certainty,
but the sight of the stars makes me dream."

Неочакванo от моето Google търсене ...

Засилих се тази сутрин да търся в мрежата кройка за топка от плат (повод за друг пост), Google се засили да ми помага/подсказва и неочаквано следната статистика грабна вниманието ми.:)

Излиза, че има 7 милиона източника на информация как да забременееш,

почти три пати повече инструкции за целувката и 3 милиона 700 хиляди поста как да зарееш приятеля си в рамките на 10 дни,

НО само 380 хиляди с упътване как се поставя презерватив!

А после седим и се чудим на тенденциите в обществото .... :)

Bezplatno c Chris Anderson

Chris Anderson(роден 1961 г.) е главен редактор на едно от любимите ми списания: Wired, което печели National Magazine Awards под негово ръководство.
Неговата най-нова книга, "Гратис: Бъдещето на крайната цена" получих в аудио формат, безплатно от iTunes, в резултат на модерната маркетингова къмпаниа на автора. Започнах да я чета/слушам в 30те минути на път за работа и ми беше трудно да сваля слушалките. Идеята не е нова в историята на човечеството и Андерсън разглежда възникването и развитието на ценови модели, които предоставят продукти и услуги на клиентите безплатно. Безплатно или Гратис, има ли безплатен обяд и историята зад тези думи, безплатен ли е Google, как Жилет завладя пазара, какво е по-доброто от безплатно са само част от въпросите, които занимават автора.

Книгата е публикувана на 7 юли, 2009 г., от Hyperion, в сянката на скандал за плагиатство и може да намерите в Amazon, които пишат:
"В своят революционeн бестселър, "Дългата Опашка", Крис Андерсън демонстрира как онлайн пазарa създава пазарни ниши и позволява на продукти и потребители да се свързват по начин, който никога не е бил възможен преди. Сега, в "Гратис", той предоставя убедителни аргументи, че в много случаи фирмите печелят повече от предоставяне на продукти безплатно, отколкото ако ги продават. Далеч повече от рекламен трик, "Гратис" е бизнес стратегия, която може да бъде от съществено значение за оцеляване на компанията."

"Built by BOB, powered by Mom."

"I am not a woman who lost my baby weight in two weeks,
lets fashion dicate my style, and is never tired.
But I am STRONG. I am INVINCIBLE. I am MOM."

YAY! you gotta love the BOB mantra, especially on the days when you need "something to pick-you-up and keep you moving".

One of the best marketing campaigns out there, its for B.O.B strollers and gear
It makes me feel powerful and almighty even tough i'm not sporting their products.

Watch my favourite video of theirs on YouTube.

One of the coolest features i've seen there is the reading lists which you can create using whatever criteria you wish. i've seen "books made in movies","highschool reading", "Creative Commons Science-Fiction", "Banned Books" and hundreds more.

"Parasite" Tune of the day

... is the song you've heard on the radio in the morning or before you go to bed at night..

The tune (you) keep humming on the subway on your way to work or school, (you) mumble the words to yourself all day long till your mind plunges into sleep ....

Enjoy my parasite for the day :)




*** Slowly ***

Would it be so bad if we just stopped for a while
And enjoyed the thrills we could all be still let the world just pass us by
But it's all hurry hurry run run there's no time for this
We want more and more, got to win got to score, so afraid of what we'll miss

And it moves so fast
And nothing lasts
This too here will come to pass
Wanna spend my days away from all the fuss
Wanna spend them with you baby but you're in a rush

Slowly
Why can't we just take our time
Slowly
wish that we could take our time

Yeah we're all getting older realize there's no fountain of youth
This is it came quick it's a lift it's a bitch it's your moment what you gonna do
Yeah time would you be a friend oooh bless us with the chance
To really grow up could you slow it up would you postpone the end

Cuz you move so fast
Nothing lasts
This too here will come to pass
Wanna spend my days away from all the fuss
Wanna spend them with you baby but you're in a rush

Slowly
Why can't we just take our time
Slowly
I wish that we could take our time

Cuz you move so fast
Nothing lasts
This too here will come to pass
And it flies and it rolls like the storms and the thunders
Stop and love me baby
Our days are numbered

Slowly
Why can't we just take our time
Slowly
I wish that we could take our time

Stop and love me baby
Our days are numbered
Take my time
Slow it down
Slowly

And So It Begins

What's this place - it's something like nothing else in the world...

It's a poets' corner, haiku garden and a music lounge, my place for random rants and chants - it's about food, living in New York City, travel bits, kids (but it's not a mommy-blog), and anything else that happens to come up and strikes my fancy.

And So,

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!
Fremde, etranger, stranger.
Gluklich zu sehen, je suis enchante,
Happy to see you, bleibe, reste, stay...
