WOW! Pure Magic. So nice to see in this day and age.

 

More than 200 dancers were performing their version of "Do Re Mi", in the Central Station of Antwerp. with just 2 rehearsals they created this amazing stunt! Those 4 fantastic minutes started the 23 of march 2009, 08:00 AM. It is a promotion stunt for a Belgian television program, where they are looking for someone to play the leading role, in the musical of "The Sound of Music"

 

What’s in your HTTP headers?

This is a post for techies. If you’re not a techie then I would suggest that you don’t bother reading this.

The following is a list of headers that will shortly be coming from your mobile device (assuming you add our software to your phone). If you enable those check boxes you will now be able to send real time location data to any web server. And for the JavaScript guru’s out there – you’ll be able to access those headers from a Windows Mobile device using plain old JavaScript.

The American Way – NOT!

Some things really need to change.

Since 9/11 approximately 120,000 Americans have been killed by guns. This is nearly 25 times the number of soldier's killed in Iraq/Afghanistan.

Where’s the outrage, where’s the change. Nothing – business as usual. We’re in complete denial. It’s pathetic.

Browser Incorrect -- BlackBerry App World

Amazing – just went to this site using MSIE 8.0 and it still won’t load. Standards anyone?

Browser Incorrect -- BlackBerry App World

Browser Incorrect -- BlackBerry App World – you’re kidding right?

Give me a break. How in this day and age can you build a web site that is only viewable on MSIE. Unbelievable.
