Diccionario del Siglo XXI de Jacques Attali
Un librito francamente asombroso. No creo que haya otro adjetivo con el cual calificarlo. Es increible que haya sido escrito en 1989.

Cámaras mas populares de la comunidad Flickr
En el rubro de las cámaras compactas la mas popular resulta ser la Canon PowerShot SD1000. Si hablamos de marcas, de las 5 camaras nombradas en este renglón las 4 primeras son Canon y la 5ta. es Sony
Es una cámara media feuchona; sin embargo, lo feo de su aspecto no desmerece su performance, que a juzgar por los resultados obtenidos por los usuarios de Flickr, es muy buena.
... el bronce me invade los pies
Este miércoles me calcé, luego de varios meses sin usarlos, los zapatos de Boating.
Al regreso, cuando me acosté, advertí una cierta sensación de insensibilidad en el dedo gordo del pié derecho.
Aún hoy persiste, con el agravante de que se me hizo evidente una sensación similar en el pulgar de mi mano derecha.

Album de firmas de Yu - 桜の素材
Yuri quiere para su album de firmas de 15 años, un diseño basado en flores de cerezo japones (sakura). Estuve recordando que, hace unos años, buscando otra cosa, me topé casualmente con sitios japoneses, como este de abajo, donde hay materiales (sozai) para diseñadores gráficos.

2007 Select Awards - Features - Best Ultra-zoom Camera
Best Ultra-zoom Camera
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18
The FZ18’s nice components, array of features, and solid camera body earned it a spot at the top of our rankings page. It costs only $399, which is a huge value considering all it offers. The 8.1-megapixel camera’s 18x Leica optical zoom lens offers the most zoom of any ultra-zoom digital camera released this year. The FZ18’s 28-504mm (35mm equivalent) lens isn’t quite as wide as the 18x lenses on the Olympus SP-560 and Fujifilm S8000fd, but it zooms farther and its optics are superior. It has an optical image stabilization system that reduces the chance of blurry pictures and keeps videos stable. The FZ18 performs amazingly well in terms of color reproduction and dynamic range. It has a 2.5-inch LCD screen, a flash that lights up to 20 feet, and an electronic viewfinder that is handy when shooting in bright sunlight. Manual, Priority, Program, Auto, Scene, and Movie modes populate the mode dial, and users can shoot in RAW or JPEG. There is also a face detection system that can detect up to 15 faces in an image. The SLR-shaped body is comfortable to hold with strategically placed textured rubber grips. Excellent handling, features, and performance earn the FZ18 its spot at the top of the ultra-zoom market.

2007 Select Awards - Features - Best Value
Best Value
This camera has it all: resolution, zoom, trendy features, and a compact body. The 7.2-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 has an excellent 10x optical zoom lens, along with an optical image stabilization system. The compact camera departs from the chunky body of most cameras with similar zoom ranges, making it more portable than the competition. The smaller TZ3 handles great for its size and performs exceptionally well. Its colors are beautifully accurate, and it can snap great pictures, even in low light. There are 21 Scene modes, along with a Program mode that lets users control white balance, exposure compensation, autofocus, and ISO. Users can view their images on the high-resolution 3-inch LCD screen. The Panasonic TZ3 offers a lot of zoom in a convenient body for a relatively low price of $349. Better yet, the camera is selling online for an average of $50 less.

2007 Select Awards - Features - Best Ultra-thin Camera
Best Ultra-thin Camera
The Sony T100 is only 0.88 inches thick, but size alone does not win this category. There are Casio Exilim digital cameras that are thinner, but they don’t perform nearly as well as this Cyber-shot. The T100 proves it’s possible to pack great features into and get good prints from a camera that can be stuffed into a pocket. It has flat surfaces and a sliding lens cover, which make the metal-bodied camera more durable than its competitors. The 8.1-megapixel camera has a solid set of components that include a 3-inch LCD screen, a 5x optical zoom lens, and image stabilization. Trendy face detection is included, as well as high definition output. This is a nice complement to the slide shows that can be played back with music. The best part of the tiny camera is its pictures: they have accurate colors and are sharp, detailed, and clear of noise. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100 retails for $399, but can be found for $50 less now that it has been replaced by the T200.
2007 Select Awards - Features - Best camera under us$200
Best Camera under $200
The Panasonic LZ7 proves digital cameras that cost less than $200 don’t have to be featureless. The 7.2-megapixel camera has Program, Auto, Movie, and 21 Scene modes, and nice components such as a 6x optical zoom lens. The lens has an optical image stabilization system – a valuable feature at this price point. The LZ7 has a 2.5-inch LCD screen that doesn’t have the best resolution at 115,000 pixels, but has a great flash that covers up to 17 feet. The ISO 100 to 1250 settings and basic Color modes like black and white and sepia all put the LZ7 a notch above its peers. It isn’t the trendiest camera on the market, but its $199 price tag and full feature set make it a great value.

Origen del nombre de Francia
De acuerdo al History Channel, estoy viendo un capítulo de “Maravillas Modernas” que trata del armamento de los bárbaros, se debe al nombre de un hacha de guerra de mango corto y arrojadiza, denominada “La Francisca”, cuya efectividad en el combate, permitió a una tribu bárbara, los francos, del sur de la antigua Galia, conquistar y ocupar el territorio de la actual Francia, a la cual denominaron de esta manera en honor a su arma favorita.
