Petit posting en français pour changer…
Pour me préparer au long vol de BKK-ZRH de ce soir, une petite mise en forme s'imposait. Donc petit passage sur le site de Hatman hatman.gif (le justicier au chapeau masqué) pour le premier episode  de :               

Les amateurs de littérature, quant à eux, préféreront la sublime Tirade de Cyrano, revue par Hatman  hatman.gif désormais très certainement classée +16 par la protection de la jeunesse (vous êtes prévenu !).

gorilapod Finally I got it !

For those who wants to carry a tripod that can be used anywhere & anytime with a small digital camera, that's the perfect one. I have been using for years many of these small tripods but none of them can compete with Gorillapod. You can place it more or less anywhere and take shap pictures using the 2 or 10 seconds timer available on your camera (or the remote control, if available).

Check an example of a photo taken in Wat Po at night with small digital camera Ricoh Caplio R3.

So far, I have not see the Gorillapod in town (Bangkok)but did not get problems to buy it online. A model for SLR camera is announced for July 06.

 Is this new piece of IT equipment will become a "must have" for all travelers ? At least the idea is quite ingenious. Recharging your electronic devices while flying using the headphones socket installed on your seat (if your fly with a descent airlines as some other may still have air system audio distribution). 

How it works :
From InflightPower’s website :

The Inflight Power cable uses an internal trickle charger that takes 3-5 min to fully charge, then outputs power to the attached device (phone, music player etc). It does this repeatedly, thus the cable charges the attached device every 3-5 minutes for 1 minute or less. Plug compatible with any standard USB charging cable. The Inflight USB Power unit plugs into the passenger seat audio jack and outputs regulated power to the attached USB charging cable/connector.

The Inflight USB power Unit cost about 40.- US$ and can be converted to over 700 devices with a series of tips using Gomadic's TipExchange technology. (Source: DigitalTrends)
