were not permanently invading our daily life as it is the case today. TV programs were still able to surprise us even 8 O'clock evening news on French national TV channel when French actor Michel Serrault and TV animator Nagui offer bride to anchor man Bruno Masure and striped live, while News journalist succeeds to stay in control to announce up next programs.

Could such of event would yet be able to take place live on any TV channel today, or someone would quickly switch the feed off ? 

 

Famous French actor Michel Serrault (on left side) died on 29th of July 2007, he was 79.

At 2:56 UTC on July 21st 1969, six hours after landing (with less than 30 seconds of fuel remaining), Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong made his descent to the Moon's surface and spoke his famous line "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind" (audio link) . He was shortly joined by “Buzz” Aldrin saying, "Beautiful. Beautiful. Magnificent desolation". Neil A. Armstrong took the “Small Step” into our greater future when he stepped off the Lunar Module, named “Eagle,” onto the surface of the Moon, from which he could look up and see Earth in the heavens as no one had done before him.

The two astronauts spent 21 hours on the lunar surface and returned 46 pounds of lunar rocks. After their historic walks on the Moon, they successfully docked with the Command Module “Columbia,” in which Michael Collins was patiently orbiting the cold but no longer lifeless Moon"

I just discovered on technogad the creation of South-Korean young designer JooYoun Paek: The Pillowig, a so called "portable sculpture" made in 2004…

…but Pillowig has a sense of "deja vu"…

27th of May 1931, swiss physicist, aeronaut, balloonist, hydronaut August Piccard and his assistant Paul Kipfer on board of an atmospheric pressurized balloon took off and reached a record altitude of 15,785 m (51,775 ft).

In order to protect their heads from a potential harsh landing they were wearing an earlier version of the Pillowig

Gentlemen, Chapeau !

Since few days now, iMinR is tracking what's going on this website.

This new service of “measurement of personalized audience” as its creator, Stéphane Guérin, indicates it on his Internet site. The iMinR statistics service makes possible to discover more about visitors of a site in general and, as from now on, this one in particular.

Among statistics provided on the free account version of iMinR we can find :

• Visitors (IP address)
• Visits (per hour, per day,)
• Pages viewed (url, title)Pages vues (url & titre)
• Geographical information (Country, Region, City)
• Web Origin (domain and url)
• Search Engine
• Query String
• Keywords
• Incoming and Outgoing points
• Global duration of the visit
• Time duration per page
• Click stream
• Frequent paths
• Client configuration(browser, operating system, resolution, language, etc..)

About the installation, well it's definitively too easy. You either have to add the provided line of code in your footer's page (also available for secured pages) or, if you are using WordPress, to install, activate and configure the iMinr plugin and that's it.

No update, no maintenance and training required. iMinR is adapted to sites using AJAX and the 100% javascript invisible (free account users are requested to add iMinR logo on their web site) marker works with any HTML pages (PHP, ASP, etc..).

Real time reports can be personalized according your needs and are accessible either on a web page;  using a javascript function or simply from the iMinR web site.

Today the beta 2 version has been released but so far the interface is exclusively available in French. I have not asked, but the English version should follow no ?

To know more about, check the demonstration page.

A week after the announcement of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Bangkokpost's Roger Crutchley felt a bit disappointed that the Kingdom didn't feature on the list.

As it's not called Amazing Thailand for nothing, Crutchley decide to establish seven nominations for places, people and things that deserve acknowledgement when conversation turns to the real wonders of the world.

1. The Samlor (Samlorus clatterus or Tuk-Tuk)
2. The Bangkok Hole (Craterus enormus)
3. The Thai Taxi Meter
4. King Cobra Swamp
5. Sergent Nop (Coppus extraordinus)
6. The Inactive Post (Snorrus muchus)
7. The Thai Smile (at least 13 different variations)

   extract..
   
   The Thai Smile:
   This should really top any Wonders of the World list. Some say the famous yim Siam comes a tad too easily and may even be superficial or – heavens forbid! – insincere. But I'd rather a country where people smile too much than a place where they don't smile at all. There are at least 13 different variations, depending on the situation, and most of them are good news. But beware of the yim haeng. This apologetic "dry smile" is what you get when there's been a total screw-up – usually at your expense. And if a yim mee lay-sa nai is aimed in your direction it probably means you're about to be ripped off. But who cares? When you're feeling down a Thai smile is guaranteed to brighten up your day

   The complete article is here on BangkokPort website.

ContentRobot has released earlier last week a WordPress plugin (requires WP 2.2.1) that would allow iPhone visitors to optimally view WordPress blogs. The iWPhone plugin comes with its own theme which will automatically reformats blog’s content for optimized viewing on Apple’s iPhone.

Feature List

• Formats your blog content for optimized viewing on the iPhone.
• Automatically detects the iPhone’s Safari browser and only displays the custom theme to iPhone visitors, other visitors get your standard theme.
• Simple iPhone-like theme with common interface elements that compliments the iPhone’s internal applications.
• Images larger then 300 pixels wide are automatically scaled down to fit the iPhone optimized width.

If you don't own an iPhone, you can review the reformated site using a small application called iPhoney but so far you need to have Mac OS X 10.4.7 (or later) and Safari installed on it as Windows version of iPhoney is not available yet.

Note: As I don't have a MAC nor an iPhone, feedback from iPhone owners about presentation my site would be highly appreciated
