Zilele acestea am citit zeci de stiri despre Kosvo: ce zic presedintii, premierii, autoritatile, organizatiile, analistii… De la 4buzzideas avem si ce zice un sarb, Veselin Milicici, despre chestii sarbesti si nu numai. 🙂
Ce imi place la sarbi? Pai, dincolo de faptul ca sunt niste animale si niste barbari (care si-au permis sa incendieze ambasada SUA), imi place faptul ca ei stiu sa spuna nu.
While the carefree Europeans were living their little ordinary lives, US Navy had to shoot down a malfunctioning spy satellite yesterday evening. This, however, is not the story we wanted to tell you. If you don’t know it already, then good chances are that you don’t care about it in the least.
We just wanted to share a good laugh at the CNN journalists’ choice of images used to cover this story (see here).
You can put yourself into their shoes, right? ” – Oh, we have to show them a menacing looking satellite! Have we got one? – There is this old footage about Sputnik, will it do? – No, it looks too old and not scarry enough. – What about this one, George? – Yeah, it looks big and shinny! Quite apocalyptic! – Let’s use it, then!”
Unfortunately, as Bad Astronomy has already noticed, “this one” was in fact the Hubble Space Telescope. Not a very bright idea, if you ask us. 🙂
E groasa. Probabil ca o sa iasa cu bataie, fiindca Rusia nu vrea. Normal, or sa se trezeasca si niste tari mici de pe la ei sa-si ceara independenta. Si nici autoritatile de la Belgrad nu vor (10 la suta din populatia din Kosovo e de origine sarba). O sa ne afecteze si pe noi toata povestea asta? Ar putea sa ne afecteze? E interesant de aflat.

Tot azi a fost si Darwin Day:
Darwin Day is an international celebration of science and humanity held on or around February 12, the day that Charles Darwin was born on in 1809. Specifically, it celebrates the discoveries and life of Charles Darwin — the man who first described biological evolution via natural selection with scientific rigor. More generally, Darwin Day expresses gratitude for the enormous benefits that scientific knowledge, acquired through human curiosity and ingenuity, has contributed to the advancement of humanity.

Dar inceputul o sa fie mai pe ocolite. In copilarie am intrat intr-un magazin de geci de pe Lipscani. Sau, oricum, de pe o straduta din centru. Atunci am intalnit pentru prima data in viata un vanzator. Adica un om care nu indeplinea doar rolul asta social, ci unul care avea har de vanzator.
Incepusem sa ne facem griji: “Dom’le, chiar asa vecini dubiosi sa avem noi? Sa spuna mai multi oameni ca dl. Orban a accidentat o fata, cand de fapt dansul n-a lovit pe nimeni? Oare se vorbisera intre ei? Venise repede dl. Basescu si ii platise pe toti sa minta?”
Ajunsesem chiar sa ne intrebam in ce cartier locuim. Pai da, bineinteles. Daca ai descoperi ca oamenii pe care ii intalnesti zi de zi pe strada timp de ani si ani de zile mint intr-un mod atat de aberant, nu ti-ai pune si tu niste intrebari?
Incep nominalizarile pentru RoBlogFest 2008 (umbla vorba ca Darius e marele favorit, fiindca el nu pierde timpul, in timp ce alti bloggeri se bat cu bulgari). Intre timp, CNSAS-ul a devenit neconstitutional, iar noi am aflat cum vrem sa calatorim cu avionul.
Did the market generate an ethic of professional, independent journalism or was it a historical accident? Probably an accident. And will the blogosphere deliver the material that this ethic produced? Probably not.
