Hi folks,

for those of whose you followed my English posts on the now defunct OX2/LBi web analytics blog, this my new online home.

The personally-branded domain name just makes more sense, and using my own hosting means I can customize this platform just the way I like it ;-)

Feel free to leave a comment and drop a note!

Where were you when Obama was inaugurated?

Where were you when Obama became president?Arguably, the inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama as 44th president of the United States of America will be one of the historic events of our lifetime.

So if your children and grandchildren ask you: “where were you when Obama became president?”, hopefully you’ll have an answer!

Mine is: I was having lunch at a Chili’s in New Jersey ;-)

I’m a sucker for speeches and they make me cry all the time. This time was no exception ;-)

And if you really must know, I had the spicy shrimp salad with a side of chili and a bottomless cup of Dr Pepper.

What LOTR fans do with their spare time…

Fantasy fans out there remember that a good chunk of Tolkien’s Lord of The Rings’ third book The Return of The King covers the Battle of Pelennor Fields that takes place before a Minas Tirith under siege.

Dave, author of the Missed Manners blog here on Wordpress, took time to design a model of this epic battle… with candy :D
the video below speaks for itself but do check out Dave’s post for more pictures. I love the battering ram made with red vines ;)

Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House?

Looks like a fun week at Microsoft :-)

After Bill Gates’ retirement video, here is a book that will definitely make you smile :)

From Digg:
“Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House?” is a children’s book dedicated to “Helping Your Child Understand the Stay-At-Home Server.” At first we snarked at this over-the-top marketing propaganda. But then it made us crap our pants with laughter. Microsoft is Brainwashing Children!!!
